[Crimes 2.0] Scamming: An In-Depth Guide · · 11 likes

I've sworn off making any jumps if there's even a single red in the zone. Doesn't matter how big of a range it is, it magnets to the one red pip every time. It's eye-rollingly rigged.

Same with the light/dark green zones at the end. I'll scoot myself back and forth repeatedly landing on the light green a ridiculous amount of times, usually get forced out from the advancing red.

It's already the most nerve expensive crime they didn't need to make it extra frustrating on top of that.

Sorry, good call, I should of checked that first.

Torn Crimes Burglary Extended (version 0.5.21) is the offender, if I disable that userscript the buttons are fine. I'll report the issue in their thread.

The merger happened a week ago you clod. We've already blitzed through 4 new territory wars. What exactly do you think you're fake leaking?

 

Edit: Never mind, I checked his post history. I didn't realize he was a habitual troll. I don't use the forums much.

Wanted to note this Slaughterhouse Medium Rare job can fail with the suggested amount of diesel, mine went over the 40% burn limit even after I hit it with a Dampen:

Cafe Long Pig has a really weird suggestion, you can do way better.
Kerosene + Lighter gets you guaranteed 25%.
Gasoline + Flamethrower will get you over 25% around half the time, but you have to stoke sometimes.

Something borked for me on the last update. The payouts all say "~$NaNk"

 

Fixed after updating.

The Data Center (Cache and Burn) suggestion is off. The suggestion will (can?) fail the insurance claim.

Does this build upon the data gathered for the Arson Bang for Buck script?

 

Shame Arson Bang for Buck isn't updated any more, but it had a lot of good community gathered info that may as well be passed along.

Specifically, this thread covers what seems to be the issue and how to fix it: https://www.torn.com/forums.php#/p=threads&f=67&t=16564074&b=0&a=0

Though simple, the benefit from this script is huge, so I'd love to see it updated.

High score wars needn't be the greatest payout for the effort. If low score termed wars still gave the best bang for the buck payout I wouldn't have a problem with it.

I'm just nonplussed that very low score wars (termed or even just quick shutout wins) seem to get 95% of the reward but high score wars just get... nothing more. Not even diminishing returns, just flat out no returns past some low threshold. Seems like even in a real RW after 6 hours everyone should just call it and let the scores stand where they are and shake hands, no point in wasting more blood, sweat, and tears on it because the rewards have already capped out.

Oh well, c'est la vie.

  • JUX HQ ranked up from Diamond to Diamond I and received 19,470 bonus respect, 2x Heavy Arms Cache, 6x Armor Cache, 6x Medium Arms Cache, 5x Melee Cache, 7x Small Arms Cache

  • ~Twisted~ ranked down from Diamond I to Diamond and received 12,331 bonus respect, 6x Armor Cache, 3x Medium Arms Cache, 4x Melee Cache, 2x Small Arms Cache



GG, was fun. But for all the effort the rewards were really buttcheeks, even for the winners. I can see why termed wars have become the norm if the system just punishes effort.

5 Gasoline + Flamethrower was enough to get flames to max on College for me. And one more stoke at the end because the flame intensity dropped a tad plus first responders were about to get there:

I really wish they'd reduce the "Total Destruction" requirement to like 97% or something, instead of 100%.

Hotel (Landmark Decision) can be done with 1 less gasoline than currently suggested:

Theater (Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble) can be one with 1 less gasoline than currently suggested.

The current suggestion for Wired for War involves hydrogen tanks, but just 8 gasoline works just fine and is much cheaper. And that burned to 82% when only 66% was needed, so only 7 gasoline might work. Takes ages to burn but also takes forever for the first responders to arrive so don't stress just let it burn it'll get there eventually.

The current suggestion for the Waist Not, Want Not on Hospital is just 1 gasoline and flamethrower. I thought that seemed low so I tried 3 gasoline instead and got a better profit per nerve of 4.8k. And that only burned to 55% so it's probably worth trying 4-5 gasoline too:

While I like some of today's update/rewrite, it has some really bad flaws:

   1. It doesn't seem to cache results, at all? If I open a faction page it's all spinning circles for every person for 30+ seconds, if I refresh the page or navigate away from it and back it does it all over again another 30+ seconds of no stats. If I expand a Ranked War box it's twice as long, spinning circles for 60+ seconds to fetch the stats of the two factions, and if I refresh the page or close/reopen the RW box it starts all over again. It waits until every one of them is fetched before displaying any of them.

The previous version instantly brought up cached results first and near instantly (within 1-2 seconds) silently updated with any updated spies it fetched. It was orders of magnitude faster and more accessible.

   2. Very resource intensive. My Chrome ramps up to 20% CPU usage and 5% GPU usage for those 30-60+ seconds.

   3. The BS column is only wide enough to display all the numbers in the RW box expand. On faction pages or your own faction's Info page the BS column is too short and the stats get covered up by the new TornStats/YATA/etc colored triangle indicator.

   4. The BS column can't be clicked to reorder by BS on the faction pages, only in the RW box.

   5. Ranked War reports no longer have a BS column.

   6. Prioritizes TornStats spies regardless of age. Will display 8+ year old TornStat spies in the BS column even if there are much more up-to-date YATA spy reports.

Could I suggest the Rurality/Flammability be labeled in some way? Maybe even just simple emoji would do.

Like 3🏠 5🔥 or something.

I agree, I see it a lot. I even had a fantastic example of it today.

Two Shacks, first one had no requirements so two gas cans and it burned to 97%. Second Shack required 100% so I used 3 gas cans, easy. But second Shack stopped at 99%. Very funny Torn, good joke, we all laughed.

But this is compounded by a second issue. Often they get stuck at 99% and refuse to move, like to the point it feels like a bug. I've had times where I've Stoked a 99% with a lighter and nothing happens (sometimes repeatedly), then I Stoke with something safe like an Oxygen Tank, and again nothing happens it just sits at 99% even if I let it sit awhile. I've had it happen after Stoking with Diesel too, no percentage gain. Eventually I have to Stoke with something more dangerous like Gasoline or Potassium Nitrate.

I feel like Stoking with a lighter is supposed to be for getting you that last 1% but it's literately never worked for me so I gave up on it and just jump to Gasoline now.
