Edit:

I'm case a dev replies with how long this took, please kindly note that this particular suggestion is only really useful for faction leaders and members with OC permissions, so I do think it is still relevant and needed in one way or another.

Any feedback would be most appreciated. 

Edit 2: I know that some of the info is now outdated due to a change in the spawn system, but RNG is still a huge part and my suggestions still stands. It is not right that you can end up spawning like 7 unwanted/not needed OCs a row!

Hey folks!

I know people are torn (pun 100% intended) between liking and hating the new OC2.0 spawn system however, I have a suggestion that could possibly be a nice addition to this new system.

As you are all aware, factions now have the ability to spawn OCs however, the spawn will be a random level within a certain range.

Given that this action costs currency, I think it would be nice to be able to dismiss an unwanted scenario.

#1 IDEA

My idea is that, if you spawn a scenario that you don't want, e.g.: a 6 instead of an 8 (big difference) then you can dismiss it and have half of your spent currency returned.

Obviously, the rate of return should be less than what was spent and is up to debate, but I think half is an acceptable ratio.

Edit: There has been some changes to the system, but the spawns are still very unpredictable and therefore the basic idea still stands.

#2 IDEA

Just let us clear unwanted OCs for people with OCD want to declutter or to stop folk joining to random scenarios that leadership does not want to be joined to.

Here is a cat picture that I picked absolutely randomly:

Option to get a partial refund on unwanted OC spawns.

Yours truly,

There is a fine line between jokes and antisemitism, racism, and such. 

This is a crime RPG and not farmville.

Edit: Not sure why the downvotes. I think jokes by staff are in good taste and should not be a concern for anyone.

Hi!

My suggestion is to have the ability to de-spawn unwanted OC scenarios.

Either with a small refund of scope or none at all.

This would be useful to de-clutter and also to remove unwanted scenarios, so members don't join ones that leadership does not want them to.

If there is a refund then it would in my opinion balance the random nature of spawns.

Many thanks for any attention and feedback.

Hey Folks!

I am looking for a new hobby IRL, and thought it would be interesting to see what you people are up to in your free time.

I recently moved country for a job and some of the things I enjoyed are not available in my vicinity, so looking for something new!

I used to play darts competitively, but haven't found an opportunity here yet.

I also used to do martial arts, got a black belt in WTF Taekwondo, but it's also not available nearby, so thinking about picking up something new.

So, what do you people enjoy doing in your free time, other than playing Torn? :)

You can only use the poker table chat if your are sitting on the relevant table.

The server I host my discord bot and website on is scalable based on usage. The more its used the more resources are required, the more expensive it is.

We dont need this here either!

Who rents a trailer even???

500k is literally nothing in this game. Stop worrying about it and just enjoy the game.

You only need them for the merit.

Once you maxed the crime and all merits (and uniques if thats your thing) then there is no point keeping it up currently.

Its a lesser crime with not much gain. (To my current knowledge at least)

But you should not be doing arson as of yet. Thats currently the highest level crime.

Start with search for cash, max it out and move your way down the list. Otherwise you will fail a lot.

"Tool"

More like Torn 2.0!

Awesome and a huge thank you.

It was never really worth 12m to begin with.

People who found it first put it on the item market for silly prices hoping to score big.

This happens everytime a new item is released.

The value (12m) is the average of those silly prices.

It will eventually stabilise as supply increases.

Once the crime is out there will be a sudden increase due to new demand, but it wont be huge.

You still have a lot of 10k medals to unlock. I suggest to work towards those.

Hey!

This is a minor inconsistency that does not cause issues other than making life hard for mission store scripts!

This item is called a "brake":

In torn code it is referenced as a "break":

This is not game braking (haha) , but I thought I bring it up. :)

When I first made my little QoL script I did not have a brake in my store so I just guessed it would be called a "standard-brake" which obviously failed when i had one in the store. :)

Let me know if this will be fixed, so I can update my script again! :D 

68m is not the end of the world, but it seems tough in your situation.

You could start selling losses, they go around 400k per loss if I am not mistaken.

You could try joining a faction and do war hits for a payout but thats gonna take a little time.

Its a new item and will probably be used for one of the next crimes or OCs.

They added them as outcomes, but apparently havent finished adding it to IM etc.

This is correct and is a standard bot usage for many factions.

In a chat message you can send a link from a picture upload site like imgur or imgbb.

Pick a destination and take some money so you can buy items.

Here is a guide:

And a travel planner I never used but heard its good:

You will get charged interest weekly. Paying the interest does not decrease your loan amount.

You have to make separate payments for decreasing it.

There is no timeline per se, but if you dont pay the interest, Duke will come after you and it wont be nice.

There are also merits for personal perks and these items count towards them.

I guess it was the Colina?

Your only option is to buy another one from market place (or a bazaar).

I thought the loan amount goes up mostly based on crime earnings.

Mine is going up steadily even when I am not using it at all.

For the merit, just take a loan and keep paying the interest on time. No need to max it, no need to increase. It takes a random amount of weeks.
