curious about how the patch will affect the RS gains other than the stated

Thread created on 21:58:14 - 20/05/25 (13 days ago)

Please note, we will soon begin tackling the imbalance between Racing Skill's natural gain through racing, and the Television Network's 10* Press Pass special. We plan to reduce the Racing Skill gained from the Press Pass by 50%, while increasing Racing Skill's natural gain. These adjustments will occur in two weeks time on June 3rd. If you are planning to spend your Television Network's job points on Press Pass, we recommend you do this sooner rather than later.

Before this according the tornreport it would take from RS20 to RS100 15 years 4 months and 5 days; tho this looks a bit decisive since the progression has diminishing returns where at higher RS you get lower gains per race(?).

first come first serve; feel free to send me a trade offer with 6M

The timer as soon as it goes below 40 seconds it restarts from 2 min.

(this has nothing to do with presets; joining and leaving another race doesnt solve it either...)

This has occurred already several times.

Can provide screenshots if needed.

If you would be able to spam 100x100 Docks every 5 hours (which is unrealistic) you would need 5x5,073=25 365 hours to finish. Which translates to 1056,875 days... 

In more realistic terms this means that if you are actively racing with all the benefits you can get from 0 RS to 100 within about three years.

Nice happy for you, or sorry that it happened.

Id buy 50

How did you know the most optimal way to play from the start?

You are about 1/3 my age but surpassed my stats already with that NW by getting HJs, FHCs and trains.

Really inpressive work.

So far based on the available statistics it seems that with lower RS the fastest gains are spamming 1v1 one lap speedway.

The RS gains have diminishing returns, meaning that for example at RS40 you get half xp for the same effort compared to doing the same at RS20.

This means that with higher RS it would be worthwhile to join long races with more ppl:
1# because it takes longer and your RS makes difference - thus higher chances of reaching top spot
(1 laps are very RNG dependant, the RS skill does not influence the outcome - I've beaten Nath [100RS] with my 20RS close to 50% of the time) 
2# more ppl = higher RS gains (especially if you top score)
3# less hustle...

• Racing against other players: The more the competition, the greater the rewards for everyone involved. All participants benefit from racing together, and the skill gains increase as more players join the race - up to a maximum of 100 racers.

That could result in scheduled Withdrawals with 100 ppl from a dedicated discord group to farm the most xp(?)

• Racing against other players: The more the competition, the greater the rewards for everyone involved. All participants benefit from racing together, and the skill gains increase as more players join the race - up to a maximum of 100 racers.

With lower RS ppl if you win it might be better to race against less if the win multiplier gets you further and the less ppl the faster you could potentially spam races - higher consistency.

I wouldn't be surprized to see 'racewhoring' to emerge where low RS ppl join in for money so that others get better chances for the higher multiplier; making it a win-win situation since the new-players/losers also get RS but not that much while also getting payed.

they seem to reverted it(?!):

While we were intending to launch an update to Racing Skill's natural gain and the Television Network's 10* Press Pass special today, this has been temporarily delayed while we explore more significant changes to Racing's natural skill gain. We hope to have these updates prepared for next Tuesday.

so it just happened:

Interesting that it doesn't seem to matter if I win or loose:

RACING SKILL20.69111 - Last gain: 0.00242

edit: not sure what happened there; but after re-running 100 laps speedway at my current skill (RS20) a win always gives me exactly 0.00242 gains while loose grants 0.00209 effectively meaning that a win gives slightly better gains (+0,00033) which is around 15% bigger gain.

I guess getting to top 250 HOF - which at the moment would equal to at least 4,287 wins
(as for the seller it would be decent money and some RS gain)

first come first serve; feel free to send me a trade offer with 6M

1b = rare Theferrett

5b = medium Theferrett

9b = well done Theferrett

Paradoxically I have mixed feelings now after reading your post:
1# Damn I should buy a boat start trading auction items!

2# Nope, its not worth the hustle and mental toll to get addicted and spend more time in Torn than IRL.

Thanks for sharing tho)

Thanks Father!

May the luck be with you!

I guess it would hurt the business to punish whales / loyal old players; however neither destorying new / poor players helps on the long run.
