What an awesome torn christmas :) OC 2.0 for my faction and my first SE city find

00:57:28 - 25/12/24 You found a Skateboard in the city

Thanks bogie!! We are going to switch as soon as our PA is done in 10 hours

My guesses from the released screenshots:

Mob mentality:

A group of protesters has organized a flash mob at the local mall. Take advantage of the confusion by using the event as cover to steal luxury goods. Posing as flash mobbers, you'll weave through the throngs of people, moving swiftly from store to store. While mall security is distracted by the chao...

The OC has 4 looters. Shoplifting will definitely be one, or perhaps it'll be a general "theft" skill which is a hybrid of shoplifting+burglary+pickpocketing etc.

Pet project:

Some people pay a lot of money for their fancy pets, and they'll pay even more if their lives our threatened. These pampered pooches enjoy a life of luxury most can only dream of. Imagine how distraught their owners will be upon discovering their beloved pets are missing. When the owners are gone o...

Kidnapper: hustling? scamming?

Muscle: battle stats?

Picklock: burglary

Cash me if you can: this seems like possibly a bank robbery? From the screenshot, the participants are looting ATMs. Seems like this is the crime that forgery's ATM keys will become relevant.

Thief: maybe again a general 'theft' skill, or card skimming since the crime involves ATMs

Lookout: Hustling? The lookout in the screenshot is giving a 'sob story'.

Not from the screenshots, but I'm guessing 'Honey Trap' is going to use the DSLR camera that is a new item.

I'm curious if any smaller factions got the OC 2.0 switch - anyone below 1m respect?

my faction doesn't have it sadly - it would've been cool since we have the full range of newbie to PA

bump! currently actively recruiting and newbie friendly

My Qualifications

I'm bored waiting for halloween lol. I did most of the crimes. I also went unique-hunting and have all uniques (except two in shoplifting :P )

Disclaimer: 99% of the time I don't read flavor text since I have too much nerve for that. So that isn't taken into account

The Tiers

As a filthy casual I rated solely on fun-ness, I don't care if a crime makes $4.6k/nerve or increases NNB 15% faster

S - The peak of what Crimes 2.0 has done so far. Really fun and creative, please do more stuff like this

A - These were fun and I actively enjoyed getting these to 100

B - Bit repetitive, but pleasant to level for one reason or another

C - Crimes 1.0-type grinding. Click a button over and over

D - I got annoyed doing these

Explanations

Search For Cash (S)

Maybe it was the novelty from being the first crime released, but it's still my favorite.

++The experience of getting the metal detector and cemetery key uniques was awesome - really satisfying obtaining an item that unlocked a new area that way. I also sold each for like 70m which was great lol

++Each area has its own unique conditions for success% - it's still really cool to me that the subway is based on player activity

+Tons of uniques to hunt

Scamming (S)

+++Enjoyed plotting out a "path" for each target, which is different each time. Each one feels like a little puzzle to solve.

++Critical fails are done really well - if you want, it's possible to do everything with zero crit fails

-The "Concerned" (purple) outcome is annoying.. the success rate to resolve them is too low. I basically ditch all of them

-Pretty slow start before you have a lot of emails at once, annoying to only get like 3 emails a day

Hustling (A)

++Creative mechanic. IDK how to phrase it but this crime gives me a feeling of pulling off a "job" - I make preparations with Gather/Hype, then sorta improvise with the bets to rake in as much as I can. It's like one big crime with 50 mini-steps.

+Enjoyed the experience of unlocking each technique and getting a noticeably higher success rate.

+Think this is the one crime where having a ton of nerve at once actually helps

Shoplifting (A)

++Tons of uniques. Enjoyed seeing a new combination of disabled cameras/guards and getting new loot I haven't seen before

+Lots of cross-crime items attained from this crime. Any cross-crime mechanic in my opinion is really cool

-A couple of the combinations are too rare, I'm tired of waiting :'(

Bootlegging (B)

+The experience of selling a ton of DVDs at once after stockpiling a bunch in each genre is super satisfying

Burglary (B)

+Tons of uniques. The last few were annoying to look for since you have to spam Scout

+Cool loot

-For the really hard targets, didn't like having multiple fails and having to wait 40 mins multiple times all for a single target

Disposal (B)

+Enjoyed the experience of 'checking' on the available jobs, it kinda felt like a daily quest mechanic. Besides that a little repetitive, but at least the leveling rate is fast so you can get CS100 before it feels super grindy

Card Skimming (C)

+Repetitive, but like Disposal it offers players a choice between rushing to level vs. being slower but more efficient

+I like the gas stations, it feels like I have a Crime Experience bank

Cracking (C)

+The rig layouts are.. a cool mechanic. haha get it. I feel like this is either your favorite mechanic so far from Crimes 2.0, or you don't care at all and just copied a layout from forum (me)

+After you have a set layout, this is basically a Crimes 1.0 crime where you click a button over and over until your nerve is empty

+Whoops, in retrospect I should've rated this higher (low B?), I liked the mechanic of guessing characters

Graffiti (C)

+Another Crimes 1.0 type crime. The mechanic for unlocking the new areas was cool but didn't feel as special as with Search for Cash for some reason

Forgery (D)

I like the idea of some kind of crafting system as a crime but I did not enjoy forgery lol

-Felt really slow in both 1) waiting for cooldowns to finish 2) leveling speed

-Crit fails happen pretty frequently and there isn't really much you can do

-At the start of the crime the economy of the forging components was messed up and I felt really limited in which ones I could do

-The "reward" for each forgery are items that we still don't know the function of. As a result the payoff of doing this crime felt ambiguous/unsatisfying

Pickpocketing (D)

--I have a lot of nerve throughout the day and the experience of slowly spending 5 nerve every minute-ish 1800x was painful

-Progression is wayy slower without reading a guide and knowing at what level you can do which targets. Maybe this is my skill issue. This was the only crime where I just gave up and completely followed Emforus's guide

Overall

Crimes 2.0 is a lot more interesting than Crimes 1.0 and my favorite update since I joined the game (even more than halloween or ranked warring lol). Respect to Crimes 2.0 designers

I think staff mentioned somewhere that there will be 30+ crimes total? Which is pretty crazy to imagine. Hoping for more unique creative mechanics in the future - as wacky as you can get without seriously un-hinging overall Torn balance

-> I kinda want a "griefing" mechanic, like mugging other players but using Crime Experience instead of battle stats

Thoughts?

done thankyou

I have a similar issue with torn.report saying 7/7 for subway uniques, but I have a star there.

I went through all my logs manually - I'm missing the Torn City Times x 1 + Zip Wallet x 1 unique. When SFC was first released that was part of the common pool and I had a bunch of logs finding them (when it wasn't a unique outcome) - maybe torn.report thought those counted as a unique outcome.

That being said apparently this unique is only available with <23% ridership? But then why is a star still there during peak hours? Can anyone confirm whats going on?

Edit: 02:19:12 - 20/07/24 You used 2 nerve successfully searching the subway gaining 1x Torn City Times, 1x Zip Wallet (unique)

Got when the subway was at 21%

-RX8 was the singular dude in charge
* never been, never have been. Not on day 1, not on day 1.000

-RX8 decided to part ways from PT
*not true. Complaints from Fibo members came in they didnt feel well under PT comandersip. I wanted to step down there but was talked into creating Fibo again. In the end over 50 people left PT to join the new Fibo.

-Perhaps he was expecting to easily grow another 1M respect faction. But growth was definitely slower in Fibonacci 2.0
Fact. I also had nothing to do with leadership of Fibo 2.0, within weeks I left leadership to Kintil and Andwappe.
-Finally in December 2022, RX8 stepped down from Leader.
While I had no say in anything at all anymore, except for paying the recruiting bill.
-Since then, our faction’s growth has exploded.
Fact, I was asked for advice on weekly base on how to get but more so how to keep recruited members. In the end it was a supply chain thing once again and I had to put in my wallet again.

Yes, I never denied taking the cash, but I also spended over 40 bil on the faction.

Andwappe im just dissapointed in. He could of had the 6 bil back the same day, but he chose to ignore any message and wants to look like the hero cause he paid back the 6 bil. It;s laughable.
