Voteable RW start times · · 23 likes

Hello,

I and many of my faction members, and I assume many other players have felt as if RW start times are heavily limiting against some factions and that the luck of the draw strongly dictates the initial outcome of the war, which can sometimes even end the war before the opposing faction has had the chance to wake up and retaliate.

I am proposing the idea of voteable start times for RW. When two factions are selected to war with eachother, the leader and co-leader of each faction is given an option of three start times and start dates, or three start times for one specific date and then each leader and co-leader picks a start time based on their factions needs or other criteria. This can be done with a 24 hour buffer period from the time the two factions are selected, and any non-voter after the 24 hours has their vote randomly assigned to one of the three options.

Keep the votes hidden, and then whichever time/date has the most votes, that is the date/start time that is selected. In the case of a tie, it is a coin toss between both of the tied selected times.

I am hoping that a mechanic such as this might make RW start times more balanced or at least allow the benefit to spread more evenly between factions.


Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

[POLL] Should M'aol Relic Effects be time-gated? · · 36 likes

Didn't one dude fly out, hit M'aol once, fly back to Torn and then log off?

 

What commitment did they make? What exceptional effort? They made a bigger effort and went further above and beyond than Proxima did? The players that committed significant amounts of time and money to this fight? I wasn't able to participate because I have this thing called a job. Should I be entirely left out of a gamebreaking item because I can't prioritize Torn over my own life?

 

It's Halloween. People have kids. People have family gatherings. What about people in the military who get deployed and can't log in for extended periods of time? People with medical reasons who are stuck in a hospital for a little while? Maybe somebodies family member just died and they're taking a few days to grieve. 

 

Buying DPs and such is one thing. I do get everyone's distaste towards it, but I would hope that everyone can agree or at least somewhat see eye to eye on the fact that the money made from DPs is spent faster than you can get it until you actually have investments and stocks. I may have a blue name but the majority of my income has come from RW and PAs. 

 

Even still, if you want to reliably afford SEs with DPs, you need to buy 20 DPs per SE. But I still can't purchase the ability to reread books. Books that are dead weight in my inventory now. I don't get infinite, free energy drinks. I don't get twice the natural energy daily. These are not things that are attainable by 99.9% of the playerbase. Some of which have been here for ten plus years, some of us who have played daily, making sure to not miss drug cds. The longterm goal of this game is to incrementally work towards goals, while everyone in the game has equal footing. You, Ched, and everyone else involved in this decision making process just shoved a giant middle finger into *everyone's* faces. 

 

Everyone always goes on about how the game is a 'marathon and not a sprint', but having everyone run the same race without shoes on is asinine when you give one, two, or in this case six people running shoes. The armor sets are one thing. Weapons, sure. I honestly have no complaints about the armor and whatnot. But giving players items that blow the foundational mechanics of this game completely out of the water? How can that remotely be seen as a good idea?

Being tolerant includes allowing discourse you disagree with. While it may be toxic or unhealthy to allow certain behaviors or discourse, it is still disingenuous to ban specific behaviors or discourse in order to maintain tolerance. 

 

There are extreme rights, and extreme lefts. I choose to believe that the vast, vast majority of people are *not* extreme. I disagree with certain left viewpoints, and that doesn't make me a Nazi. I also disagree with certain right viewpoints, and that doesn't make me a Communist. 

 

If anything less than full support tells you that the individual you are speaking to is a Nazi/Communist then I regret to inform you that you are a Nazi/Communist. 

 

This is a neutral post intended to speak to both sides of the spectrum, and I am not taking any sides. 

Better lottery ticket purchasing mechanic · · 5 likes

Hello,

 

I wanted to throw the idea of being able to type in the exact amount of lottery tickets you'd like to purchase at one time. 

 

Ideally it could be something like a box that you select and then type in the number, and then off to the side, it can tell you how much money you'd need to purchase them all. 

 

I'm a mobile user so I'm unsure of how it works on PC but, tapping 75 times while having to wait for the button to reset (rate limiter, maybe?) is a little bit inefficient to say the least. 

 

Thank you all

Oh man, you've been lucky lucky. 1b of free items in roughly 100 days? 

 

I almost did exactly that around the 16 day mark and my faction leader all but begged me not to. Instead I sold it on the open market and got buy mugged by Ralucakiss for about 60m. Good riddance. 

Ranked War Matching and Ranks ·

You'd.. be taking away the ability to message the opposing faction to establish terms. 

Ranked War Matching and Ranks · · 6 likes

Random, most likely overly complicated suggestion. What about *anonymous* warring, where both factions receive a stat report of the opposing faction upon matching, with the names of each player, and the faction itself entirely redacted?

 

This way neither faction has the ability to term, communicate, or game without it at least being blind and uncoordinated? Obviously as a toggle, where you can queue anonymously *or* queue the way we do now?

 

Maybe higher ranked factions, such as plat+ have it enabled or even forced by default?

 

I personally am of the opinion that cache farming should be banned entirely, but thats just a personal opinion and nothing more.

I try my best, thank you. We should all be able to live peacefully in a world with room for all walks of life. I see too much political violence from both sides that I genuinely believe could be resolved with an emotion and hostility free discussion.

PDA crash- chain dropped · · 4 likes

My sympathies definitely go out to you and your faction. But if a third party tool stops working and you *don't* check to make sure the original tool is working, you kinda shot yourself in the foot. I know that in my faction, if I was the chain watcher and I dropped the chain because PDA isn't working, the very first question my lead will ask me is 'did you try not using PDA?'

Brand new mining corp hiring. Pay is 20x primary stat OR flat 1.5m (whichever is highest) + an additional 50k per EE merit. Trains will be free and on a rotational basis. Seeking 50k+ stats but lower is okay.

Well on the bright side, anything and everything he's trying to intimidate you about, hacking wise, is just him talking out of his ass. 

 

But, you're too low level to be on here bickering. Listen to staff and stick to your faction. I guarantee you that by posting it on the forums you just got yourself attacked/mugged way more than before you posted. 

Icons not in correct location ·

I noticed that my icons were in a different location. Gender, subscriber status, etc on the right with drug cooldown, booster, all on the left is how it was supposed to be set, but its now displaying it in reverse, and updating the settings, reloading the game, or refreshing the icons does not male any difference.

I mean this as politely as possible, so please don't take this poorly. 

 

You're super new to the game and you absolutely aren't at a point where you should be running a faction. You can do it, yeah. But you aren't strong enough or wealthy enough to back your faction up yourself. It's much much better to just join a larger faction and work on yourself before you work with others. But, that's just me. Your playstyle differs from mine. 

 

Now for the biggest piece of advice, leave 90% of players alone lmao. Seriously. When you're a new player, you are a target and the best way to limit that is to be hidden and quiet. You will run into crappy players or immature players. I still run into them at my level. The difference now though is that I'm harder to extort and I have a faction and alliance to help me out, whereas you don't. 

 

This game has both an amazing, and a terrible community at the same time. It is really easy to get permahosped by somebody purely out of boredom. I've been on both ends of that. 

 

Focus on yourself and your stats, grow your account, then bully Bandit back. Until then, it's best to just avoid any and all drama.
