I think we all really want to see crimes 2.0 come to surface sooner than later. I would say that the new weapon/armor stuff is really an extension of the war mechanic. The attacking/war mechanic part of torn is probably the most critical, as it brings huge chunks of the player base together at once. Wars create conversation, which in turn builds friendships and the torn community overall.
There are a lot of things getting done behind the scenes to lay a foundation for torn moving forwards, especially in regards to the site handling the updates and running smoothly.
Trying to be patient myself but its hard sometimes!
Quote: And other projects that are moving in and out of frozen status due to bottlenecks that we're resolving by recruiting more HTML5 developers... - New contract agent (really cool, but way more technically challenging than Duke) - New crimes system (biggest ever project, each individual crime is as complex and deep as the entire current crimes system)
Curious what will happen to existing crime achievements/merits and what new achievements and merits there would be
And when an update is looming in the far off distance.... what in the world do we do in our current aims and goals? is there still relevancy to aiming toward anything in particular there? or just keep plugging away and building CE and raising the nerve bar?
The new crimes system comes with all-new awards and an honour for each crime. It'll require users to migrate over, which transforms all of their current crimes progress into the new system. The old awards will be removed and the new ones credited - there will be more awards in the new system than the old one.
he said they'll be replaced by new ones, so if u got enough crimes done to keep them you'll keep them, otherwise he'll take some merits, i assume eh'll give everyone a merit reset for free ? cuz he can't just take merits from things he'll like, or maybe like make us choose which stuff we want merits off from ?
*The old awards will be removed and the new ones credited*
if he decides like to take off the 5k theft and make it 7.5k, what happens to those who had 6k theft ? that's what i meant, they'll have -1merit, how is he gonna take it off ? that's what i was thinking of
The last time he moved around the merits there WAS glitches
They're isolated though since he's going to likely do a bulk update for all the active users... But should actually do it for all at least in a staggered method. Say all active players than those in past week, then month then year and finally the rest.
