where 's the mugging event ? why i got mugged of 30k out of 130k i had at that time ?

Isn 't that too high , imagine if someone 's carrying 13 bil. on hand then the mugger can take 3 bil. in one shot then the 2nd mugger can take 1,5 bil. and so on then within few mugs , he will get bankrupted , mugging need to be reduced for lower percent ....

Im in favor of it. Can´t generalize and say Torn has done its best to remove any kind of risk involved in gameplay.
But adding one like this wont hurt.

Besides, you´ve missed the news. Mugs have had diminishing returns greatly increased. Repeated muggings wont yield as much cash as it once did.

I mailed a friend 300m, mugged 15m. tested 3 more times got all empty wallets - i assume you can only mug a person once every hour or so mabye...

This is pretty good buff for noobs, it's a nerf for muggers, but this potentially could be a way for newer players to actually profit from mugging.

edit: 300m is usually a 5m mug. so this is 3x the usual

yeh im in favour of this, will effect script users as people wont be repeatly mugged, and for those who are making a mug target, if they get the first mug then thats all that really matters. I see this though effecting traders and bazaars, people wont want to put as much in now
Maruto [1634194]

that 's what i 'm saying , it will be group work rather than individual work , the 1st mug for each one will be higher than before.
Nukem [1063346]

You are safe since every mug after that in a certain time will = $0 lost. So noobs are now almost completely safe after their first mug.

900m = 43m on 10/10 mug merits too.
Relatively speaking though its a minor loss since 0 wallets will result within a time after this first mug.

Not happy tbh.

poker is now too risky to play with the chance of being mugged

15% is way too high imo

You do realise how hard it is to make 15% on your money in torn these days? 1 mug will set you back 2 months if you go by bank rates.

Well it either has to be a high % first mug and then nothing after, or the old way. And I highly doubt its gonna be changed back.

5% is high, 15 is ridiculous

from the annoucement page

Mugging has also received some big changes. Mugging the same person over and over again is no longer worthwhile, however initial successful mugs will yield more money. It is now unnecessary to have revives turned off in order to avoid repeat mug attempts. Mugging will also place the user in hospital for slightly longer, to differentiate it from the leave on street option.

Could be true, high stakes poker might die, but high stakes power was already in a downwards spiral with fewer and fewer and fewer people playing

kyle8048 [488020]Also you literally can't sell any expensive items now.

Sell a SE or PI now and you're losing 50m+




Not if you self hosp or fly, like most people already do...
