Citizens,
These changes to mugging are now live. Our weekly patch list will follow shortly.
Mug protection
After a user is mugged, the remaining value in their wallet will continue to be protected. The protection will degrade linearly over the following 12 hours. Any new mug will fully restore the protection.
The system will only continue to protect money that hasn't been interacted with - the value of protected funds will fall to your lowest wallet balance since the last mug. As an example, if funds are deposited somewhere, and then withdrawn again, those funds are no longer protected.
Mugging rates
The system determining how much money is taken after a mug is also changing to a simplified flat-rate system.
Between 5% and 10% of the victim's wallet will be stolen, with the higher percentages being less common. This will effect everyone the same, regardless of how much money they have on them. This value can be further increased by up to 50% with the 'Masterful Looting' merit upgrade, reduced from 100%. All active users will receive a free merit reset shortly after the changes.
Thank you.
