Moved to QnA I believe I already told you in dms that this can happen and doesn't mean that items are gone. Have you tried an extension already as I suggested?
John Cena dropped his pin on the map. Pity you can't see him either.
Just bad luck on your part. Item spawns are not guaranteed and its entirely possible to go long periods of time without finding any. Additionally just logging in isnt enough to guarantee spawns, you actually need to perform a few actions to have a chance of something spawning (so if you were simply logging in and checking, nothing would spawn for you)
Just keep playing torn and checking occasionally and something will eventually come. You can also throw some merits into awareness if you really want a higher chance of getting something
get a helper script like doctorN or tornstats or whichever one it is that highlights city items
Yeah no,I play up to 12 hours a day if not more,and so do my friends,we've all been looking at this map closely and found nothing,it's just really weird, just wondering if anyone else is also experiencing it...
I have +50% from Candle Shop and +80% from merits and yeah, I observed too that items spawn rarer now
Good to know
Yes, I agree. The drop rate in town is awful
14:13:12 - 09/09/24 You found a Computer Fan in the city
Note the date; today. I got something yesterday as well, plus every other day last week.
It really is just 'bad luck', more accurately, RNG. I'm assuming you don't have any/many merits in Awareness? I've got mine at 4, I receive at least 1 item every 2-3 days (on average, it can be longer, it can be more frequently for a time but it balances out long-term).
At your stage, given your stats and activity level, I wouldn't recommend pouring merits into Awareness simply to get a few more (largely) worthless items, they're much better spent on things like bank investment, education reduction, crime experience, your life bar and a whole host of other things before you go near Awareness but, once you do have some merit points just sitting there doing nothing, consider throwing them into Awareness, after you get to 3 or 4 merits in them (4 merits will cost 10 award points, if I remember right), you'll be amazed at the amount of crap people just leave lying around the place! 🤷🏻
You say "everyone" you know is seeing the same as you; they're most likely in the same position as yourself regarding Awareness merits/their general awareness level. You'll find items again even without the merits, I could go for months without finding anything when I was at your stage in my game, so, a single month isn't that surprising, tbh. 😎
BRUHHHH
14:41:20 - 22/06/23 You found a Can of Santa Shooters in the city
So that was my last pick up. 445 days.
So slightly over 2 days per item and that is with 0 awareness merits during that time.

Yeah:)I just wanted to ask some of the players opinions,who might be experiencing the same problem
Check your actual City Finds logs, I was feeling like they weren't spawning at a good rate either but as you can see from my logs it's 6 items in a 2 day period, 1 item in a 3 day period, just all sorts of random drop timings 🤷♀️ I usually check weekly or monthly. I tend to forget about the map. Been looking recently at faction maps is the only reason for the recent series of close checks.
