I'm curious about busting; before I had a success rate of about 75% success if I bust someone who was in jail from being caught from trying to bust someone. For the last couple of days I've only been able to bust one person like that, and I failed or been caught maybe 20 times. And for months my success rate has been only marginally better than that for this kind of bust.
I have over 7000 successful busts, and the strategy I've been using is attempt to bust one person every 15 mins. Maybe I should change that?
Probably just bad luck, if you go to a law firm maybe it will shed some light on the busting success rate of your strategy?
Thanks, that's months of bad luck. Maybe I should find a new torn hobby.
I usually do them in batches of 3 every 4 hours. I'm going for quantity so I skew to lower levels for higher success rate. When I fail a bust I stop.
I can bust 3 lower lvls on 3 lower crimes in a row usually, after that I'll either fail or get jailed myself.
Wait a few hours indeed after that, for the hidden cooldown to wear off.
It depends largely on who your initial bust is. If you bust a low level with low time, you will dramatically sewer your chances for at least an hour from busting higher level players.
Like it was said earlier, the Law Firm is brilliant for establishing how it all works by extrapolating the success percentage data. If you do decide to join a Law Firm, start with the highest level and highest amount of jail time you can while still having a significant success chance, then work your way down the list.
