Awareness Change · · 8 likes


Torn should change the Awareness levels like they were back in the "Old days". (Before New City Map or RESPRO I think). Then you could invest your 55 Merits into Awareness and actually notice a definite increase in Item Spawning AND Quality of Item too. Way it's watered down now you can be in a Zoo (+70%), have Max Merit Awareness, AND be on LSD all day long everyday and you only get a few crap items. Honestly, I'd rather spend my 55 Merits on Weapons Upgrades than Awareness the way it is now. It should be changed.

Property Staff CAN follow you · · 2 likes


You need to fire your staff before you can move in to a different property! WHY? They ARE people too with legs. :) They know how to go to a different address for SAME Employer. :)



Suggestion is this: If you pay your Upkeep on a property say a Ranch, then YOU AND Staff can move into say Private Island. Staff Level of Pay would just remain same and couldn't change that until New Day. Seems silly how you have to wait a whole day for Staff who are Employed by YOU :)

Thumbs Up this 1 please (A LOT) XD

Staff Objectivity in Forums · · 1 like


Staff should be Objective in Forums and should allow Feedback on Issue(s) if at all possible and NOT just close a thread immediately.

Here's an example. http://www.torn.com/forums.php#!p=threads&f=19&t=15973506&b=0&a=0
There is 0 Feedback here (except by Staff) and thread was closed almost immediately after posting. How does Staff KNOW if there is NOT a problem if there's no chance for anyone to Feedback on the issue? (Either players or techie confirming on the mechanics of the code)

LOTS of Issues and problems in Torn have gone on for YEARS because Staff keep closing the threads and the issue NOT pursued cause Staff think "Oh not ANOTHER problem" and just keep closing threads. I made my point. DAL

Multitasking in 1 step · · 1 like


Can Torn get into the Future by allowing Multitasking of various tasks in just 1 step? I.E. Instead of pressing a button multiple times to trade in Flowers at Museum for 10 Points at each instance instead just have an Input box for # of Sets to trade in all at once. This would save on the LAG issue where that little scrolly dots doesn't just HANG there forcing a person to go back to city then back to Museum then trade in a "few" sets and it HANGS AGAIN!!! (Big pain in A**).

Every aspect of Torn with multiples of "something" to do can be simplified into 1 or 2 steps, time to make things simpler Torn really it is.

Torn functions ALL In Game (Torn Servers) · · 0 likes


My Suggestion is that Torn make all it's functions In Game, handled by Torn Servers alone. Let me give you an example of this. Ok I log onto Torn today, everything is fine and fast except for a few places. City Map didn't load or takes a LONG time to load (like 5+ minutes), same thing with Faction page (hard to chain on 5 minute page loads :) ) AND the Capitcha too took 5+ minutes to load, once done though I could do the Gym Trains and Crimes fast fast. Look do you really want "Torn working Good" BUT some part of rest of Internet "NOT working Good" BUUT since Torn connects to Google, Facebook, ect ect that is NOT Torn you're waiting and waiting for THEM to continue with gameplay ... DITCH Google, (1,000,000,000+ Facebook members SLOWING Torn down) DITCH Facebook connects, and DITCH any NON Torn Servers to handle stuff too. Put EVERYTHING ON Torn Servers and I'll bet 98% of ALL Bugs and Issues suddenly just drop off face of Earth AND a LOT of Happy Players and Admins too :)

Remove 3rd Party Websites ·


Suggestion: Remove ALL the 3rd Party Websites from Torn programming. You know what's slowing down Torn so much quite often? It's trying to connect to Facebook when loading Capitcha and City pages??? Google analytics is in there too. Instead of messing around trying to play Torn from however many different Websites (besides Torn) ... how about we play Torn from JUST Torn itself? Would undoubtedly solve quite a few issues Torn is almost constantly having.

Fix Capitcha ·


WHAT does connect.Facebook.net have to do ANYTHING with Torn Capitcha? ... Fix it please cause Capitcha does not load for some obvious and/or BS reasons. :(

Torn Server Upgrade(s) ·


LOOK , wasted E (75 E) is NOT trivial and it happens a LOT over months of time even if the "problems" are only once in awhile. Torn has problems with Chat (for Years), Torn has problems with Connections (several issues there AND for years too), and Torn has problems with slow loading pages often too (AND for years). Other Websites (MANY of them) have working Chats, load speedily, AND I've rarely seen Connection problems on any of them at about 1/100 th the rate Torn experiences them. SOOOO WHY can not Torn actually FIX these issues for GOOD (or close) AND actually have multitudes of HAPPY Torn players? XD

Torn Server Upgrade(s) ·


Suggestion: Torn should REALLY consider Upgrading it's Servers ... to like C64 (Commodore 64) ... at least THAT computer actually WORKED properly 99% of time. XD

  • You attacked Dr_Robert, but decided to run away [view] 2017/02/05 3:34:37 PM

    These are ALL Attacks I can win with little trouble, problem is Torn gives me 504 Gateway Timeouts and Attacks do not finish. I USED 75 E, is Torn going to reimburse me for 75 E? (probably NOT)

    Suggestion still stands: Torn NEEDS to either Upgrade it's Servers and come into the 21st Century FINALLY OR STOP messing around with the software (like Load Balancing) so that Attacks work like they should. (Everything else was speedy just the Attacks were BS)

    Rate this one UP please cause Torn really does need to fix it's SH*T (Somehow)

Easy to read Capticha ·


Suggestion: Can't Torn make Capitcha easy to read? I mean dark grey on a light grey background with irregularly shaped and offset numbers too?? ... the Capitcha must be for the Blind cause no one can even read it so put Braille in there instead. XD BOTS can't even SEE that I know of so there is NO problem making the Capitcha easy to read, please change it.

Buying of Special Books (Torn Store/Museum) ·


Special Books that just came out may be findable or through Subscriptions but how about a Suggestion to make them "buyable" at say the Torn Museum? If they are each only useable just 1 time ever the price(s) at Museum could be comparable to price(s) of Stat Enhancers from Nikeh Sports Shop.

Logged Off ·


Torn keeps logging me off , it thinks I am logged in twice but I am not. Happens on App 5 and App7 servers (probably others too). This is a unique BUG as I've never seen it happen this way (been Auto logged off before but not multiple times after logging in each time again, just once or maybe twice) This BUG just LOVES to log you off almost on every click or few clicks :( Please FIX

Staff Objectivity in Forums ·


My point is this: Issues get dropped even BEFORE they get addressed properly. 90% of ALL my Bugs and Issues have been closed almost immediately and there IS a problem or issue there to FIX. Players need to input saying Yes they have the same or similar problem or a Good LONG while with NO posts at all before Staff decides what to do about a thread. Immediately closing a thread is both RUDE and WASTES my time without a look see. (Main reason I HATE posting in Torn Forums cause it's largely a WASTE OF TIME and nothing gets done about issue anyways) O.O

Awareness Faulty?? ·


Hi, I think Awareness is faulty or bugged in some way. The Territories Map spawns a LOT less items than the just previous City Map and a LOT LOT less items than when Torn had Awareness set as an Event long ago (You found "Something" while walking around city). On top of that all items spawned are by and large cheap crap items too. :(

I don't know if Torn purposely watered down the Awareness by like 75% or worse, but I work in a Zoo (+70% Awareness), have the Psychology course (+10% Awareness) and have 10/10 on Awareness for Merits and EVEN if on LSD (best Awarness drug) ALL day I'll likely find only 1 or 2 CRAP ITEMS. On Old Torn with Event for Item finds I would find EASY 10+ items / day and occasionally a GOOD item find with this Awareness level. WHY bother to pursue Awareness (boosts) if they'll have NO appreciable effect on finding items? I think Awareness is either BUGGED or faulty and should be fixed so that boosting Awareness DOES have at least a moderate effect on finding items (possibly decent items too). Thanks DAL

Smoke Grenade effect spans 2 Attacks ·


In Attack #1 someone threw a Smoke Grenade that hit me (Duration like 180 seconds). When I was done with that Attack I preceded to Attack another person and the effect of Smoke Grenade was still counting on a timer?? Well I don't overly mind this however if the 2nd person doesn't have any Temps at all this gives an Advantage to them that they do NOT normally have if they don't have any Temp weapons equipped on top of that they didn't have to spend 1 combat round "throwing" the Smoke Grenade as someone else did that previously. This is a bit of an Issue that should be resolved that Temp Weapons are only effective in the fight they were used in and not in multiple fights.

City finds not generating · · 1 like


City finds do happen on the New Map (Map for Territories) as I have found a couple items. HOWEVER the Awareness is watered down by a LOT and NOT very effective at all. I work in a Zoo +70% Awareness, have the Psycology course +10% Awareness, and also 7/10 Merits Upgrade for Awareness ... on OLD Awareness system I'd find 3-5 items / day when NOT on LSD and if on LSD all day I'd find easy 10+ items / day with some really decent items once in awhile too ... now MAX Awareness possible and lucky to find 1 item in a whole day even if on LSD all day and its mostly crap stuff now too. Awareness system needs an overhaul BAD so that it at least works moderately well for everybody.

jumping chat · · 1 like


Problem exists, I have it too, however it is NOT your browser or operating system or mobile device it is a TORN BUG. Chat Boxes have frequently been having problems on and off for YEARS, Yep YEARS. Torn needs to dismantle the whole Chat Box programming / module and start from scratch and do it right ... call it Chat Box 2.0 to be released with other future releases :)

Chat Box jumps to Oldest Posts ·


Every time that a Chat is posted by me or by others in my Faction the Chat Box jumps or scrolls up to the Oldest Post in Chat Box. Normally you see the New Posts listed 1st at bottom then use the Bar to scroll up to see Older Posts, Torn is automatically scrolling up to top on Chat Box, this is a PAIN for both Chaining and for Chatting too.

Don't tell me this is a Browser issue or Clear my Cache or Restart TORN ... ALL of the Faction members see SAME problem and we all have different browsers and personally I clear my Cache several times / day anyways so that's NOT this issue. Chat Box is broken and it's broken on Torn's end for sure, please fix, thanks

Unable to take meds or alcohol ·


This issue is same on ALL useable items, very often the scrolling dots just keep scrolling (hangs up) and item is not used even when you told (Torn) to use the items. Even refreshing the inventory page does not help either and still have problems trying to use items. :(
