Star: forum

Hello everyone,

I have this thing:

[image: i.imgur.com]

But I need good books to actually make use of it (I don't have any), so I'm looking for a 10 star PSF to work in. 

I do have brown-nosing the boss and can start reading it after my current book is done in 29 days.

I am able to read books repeatedly so I can stay for as long as you want (or until I get the books I want). 

I am able to start within the next few days. Hmu if you're interested.

The finale in the epic trilogy of my shit luck. 

For new readers, here's the previous two threads.

After being tormented by Ched for so long, getting an impressive (11.87%) OD rate across 31 days, with three of those ODs happening right before/during Halloween, alongside having generally shit luck in general:

It has finally all paid off:

14:35:40 - 30/10/24 You looted a Ladso Eye from Ladso'myna

I will now be rereading the +100 friends/enemy list capacity repeatedly until I can fit all of *generic alliance family here* on my enemy list.

Thank you Torn, goodnight.

Hello,

I was gonna try to keep this short, but then I realized I’ve somehow survived a full year with the Eye, and that deserves at least a few paragraphs of rambling.

I’m Star, a board member for the Nuke Family and part of leadership in Nuclear Blast. But that’s not what this is about. This is about being the first M’aol item looter and the proud owner of what I’d call the second best relic, the Ladso Eye.

Since then, I’ve had people ask what it’s like, what my plan was, what I’d do differently, and occasionally, how much I’d sell it for. Spoiler alert: no.

So I’m breaking this down into what I did with it, what I learned, what I think about the changes, and probably a few sarcastic comments I couldn’t resist writing.

How It Started

October 30, 2024. I looted the Eye. My notifications exploded before I even finished blinking, everyone calling me “lucky.” I didn’t feel very lucky when I got flight delayed on the way home. Seemed like Torn’s idea of balance.

At that point, I didn’t have any good books. So on October 30, I started reading "Higher Daddy, Higher!"... not because it’s great, but because it was one of the only books I actually had. Then on November 26, I joined a PSF to cash in 1,750 job points for 5,250 mission credits (thank you, past me, for spending way too much time in PSFs). That ended up paying off because two days later I got Ugly E in my mission shop, and I started my first ever read on November 30, 2024.

From there, it was all training. By the time I’m writing this on October 22, 2025, I’ve used 1,278 FHCs, for a total cost of about 17.6 billion Torn dot com dollars. I averaged 2,554 energy a day, with 2,376 of that going straight into the gym. That gave me ~6.6 million stats per day for a total of 2,157,174,852 gained over the year.

When I started Ugly E, I had 524,330,544 stats:

• 141,169,703 Strength
• 231,268,024 Defense
• 151,224,509 Speed
• 668,308 Dexterity

So yeah.... the eye probably helped.

What I’d Do Differently

Honestly, not much. I got pretty lucky with my mission shop and started as soon as I could. I missed some refills, a few FHCs, and probably forgot more Xanax than I’d like to admit, but life happens. I’m happy with the growth I managed to get while still being able to do normal things like sleep and work.

If I had to redo it, maybe I’d be a little more consistent. Maybe. Probably not.

The Changes

When the relics first came out, they were meant to be forever items. Real relics. The kind of thing that changes your long term gameplay. The devs said they had been working on them for years and that they were balanced. Then less than a week later, a few loud players cried that they were too strong, and the relics were suddenly changed to one year timers before anyone could even see if they were overpowered.

That means mine will vanish soon, and I’ll be left with a shiny collectible that doesn’t do anything. I PROBABLY won’t even be able to trade or sell it to recover a bit of what I spent. It feels bad to see the timeline shortened after players had already looted them and before we saw if they were even OP. 

Final Thoughts

Despite all that, I don’t regret it. It’s been fun watching the Eye change how I play and push what I thought I could do. I learned a lot about training, burnout, and how fast 1,278 FHCs can disappear when you aren’t paying attention.

Now it’s time to check out of the luxury hotel life (thank f**king god, you don't even know how many times I've wasted energy with FHCs) and get used to living on energy drinks again. Training will slow down, the caffeine will go up, and the Eye will fade into a distant memory of mine but it was one hell of a year while it lasted.

I am quite entertained by your RW performance against WIT, but I downvoted you for faction recruitment in GD.

Faction size AND rank

PEDRO.

WHY DO YOU KEEP FUCKING OUR RW INCOME.

I love that you're trying to balance the system, genuinely.

But please, before we keep tweaking ranks and who gets shoved where, MAKE REAL WARS WORTH ACTUALLY FIGHTING.

The system should reward factions for actually throwing hands.

Scale the rewards based on total war hits / actual participation, not just score or how long the war happens to last.

If two factions beat the absolute shit out of each other for thousands of hits, both sides shouldn't finish the war wondering why they bothered instead of just agreeing to terms.

REAL WAR: barely profitable or completely unprofitable

PEDRO: "what if Diamond was smaller"

BROTHER PLEASE.

MAKE IT WORTH IT TO FIGHT THE FUCKING WARS.

We want you
