Warring Frustration

Every single war we have had in the past couple months, the enemy faction has contacted us to throw the war one direction or the other. This is very frustrating for factions that actually enjoy the war and want to have fun. And if a deal isn’t accepted, the enemy flies the entire time to drag out the war and they do their best to just keep the score even so we are unable to enter for the next war cycle. This is seriously broken. Beyond that, if we don’t have the enemy faction trying to broker a deal, it’s because we are matched against a faction that not a single one of our members has a hope of killing anyone so it’s basically a thrown war from the start. This is pushing a faction that was made with the intent to have wars and have fun, to simply not war.


Something needs to happen, war is one of the few things in this game that gets the players active and it’s getting to the point we don’t even want to do that.


And all of this isn’t even taking into consideration that typically the enemy faction leaders are little babies when you refuse the deal and they all threaten action after war which further discourages a war faction from wanting to take part in probably the most fun thing on Torn.

I don’t think this is a feasible suggestion but maybe it’s a seed of an idea. What if there was a way to prevent communication with the enemy faction or something along those lines to try to prevent deals from being made before or during the war? Like I said that doesn’t sound feasible but something needs to happen, we just want to have fun again!

I know this is a hot topic among the community and I’m sure you guys get tons of posts each day, but I wanted to add my voice to the mix. This is a great game and I’d like to see it be even better.

While I agree that what you said is a big problem, the only suggestion you made is to stop communication with other faction which is stupid at best. They would just tell middleman to contact the other faction for them. Until you have some properr suggestion for this problem you get R- as i dont see any suggestion but the one stupid.

My suggestion is that this gets a little more focus by the admins and I totally admit that cutting communication is a stupid idea I just want something done. Maybe have ai watch the chats to find people trying to make deals to throw wars and then take some action through that. There has to be something that can be done.

Wow. What a well thought out solution.

Lets breakdown the issues;

1. Enemy faction contacting you - Welcome to faction leadership. It doesn't take long to just say no. If you don't want to communicate with rival factions, you should look for someone different to co-lead your faction. Diplomacy is a large part of faction leadership.

2. Enemy flies the entire time - so what? Flying is an acceptable mechanic to avoid being attacked.

3. War lasts too long and cant enlist following week - If your enemy faction can control the flow enough to stretch it out that long, then that is on you mate. Also, the enemy faction wouldnt be able to enlist that week either.

4. pushing a cache farm to not war - Oh noes, anyway.


The state of ranked wars are already a known issue. If you don't have anything more constructive to add than block all communication between factions, ( which only fixes 1 out of your 4 issues) then keep quiet and let the grown ups work it out.

Yeah, termed wars aren't fun. Ched said they're working on it so i'd expect a change in the next 5 business years.

If u wanna help with the cause, think about a real suggestion and not a rant. State your points and be objective, say only what needs to be said like the other 20 ignored suggestions and try your luck.

A real suggestion would look like this:
1- What i feel needs to change/be added/whatever
2- Why
3- Explain how it'd benefit the game to do so
4- A few ways of properly doing the thing (must be thought for at least 6 minutes, preferably after breakfast/lunch)

3 and 4 may change position, but u get it.
So far u only wrote a rant and a stupid suggestion that won't work.

Good luck though.

What if they added a treaty button? Offer a treaty to the opposing faction, if they decline they would get some perks? Maybe slightly faster flight times to beat the enemy to their location, or revoke the first parties ability to place bounties until the war is over. It would encourage factions to fight fairly, or expect to fight harder for asking.

Lol, what?
