Worth it to spend mission credits on special ammo? · · 24 likes

I would say Q and A is for more straightforward questions. Such as "when does Trick or Treat start" 

 

General Discussion is for questions that will have a multitude of opinions and answers. 

Great job to Torn staff this year! · · 96 likes

Torn staff, GREAT JOB this year. Lag is already over. Normally it takes 12 hours for lag to end but this year, it's already over. 

 

Halloween is my favorite event on Torn City by far. Keep it up. 

 

Thank you! 

Lye isn't an acid, it's a base · · 46 likes

Am I missing something?

There is a merit for dissolving a body in acid, but bodies can't be dissolved in acid, only in lye, which is a base.....


Edit: In game of course. According to the disposal guide. I'm a chemistry teacher IRL and have done all sorts of dissolving things.

What are your unpopular opinions about Torn? · · 43 likes

I'll start:

 

The game should go back to the name "Torn City" 

 

The old icons for factions, cooldown, drugs, low life, etc were better 

 

Tokens should be replaced with points for the time being in the token shop

Hello all, 

 

5 bounties on me. Stripped. Attack away. Good luck opportunity for newer players 

If Hawaii and Japan had plushies what do you think they would be? · · 10 likes

I think maybe we should change the kitten plushies to Japan because Japan has cat cafes. 

 

I think Parrot plushies from Hawaii would be a fun thing to buy

That says 1.0 but I use them in 2.0? Am I missing something here? 

18 years since Torn's first ever Dirty Bomb · · 1 like

I remember that day well.

 

I was a high school senior IRL and had a rehearsal that night. No smart phones so no torn away from home. I got back from the rehearsal and logged in and saw the devastation (no pun intended). Rumors had been flying for weeks that it would happen soon.

Has anyone else noticed that the Diamond Bladed Knife is the default melee image when you don't have a melee weapon equipped? 

Are busting factions a thing? ·

Thank you! I'll be applying to Wraith when the time is right. 

Are busting factions a thing? ·

I'm currently in a reviving faction while I work on the revive merits. 

 

Are busting factions a thing? After I get all of the revive merits, and help out my current faction with some more chains, I'd like to start working on the busting merits

Proficience question ·

Does "Proficience 24% increased EXP upon final hit" mean weapon experience or leveling experience or both? 

What Are Old Folk Good For Anyway but level 100 ·

I recently have seen "What Are Old Folk Good For Anyway" pop up as something I can buy with my mission credits. Should I buy it just to have a book and to open up a slot? Or should I pass? I'm already level 100. I know that experience keeps going up after 100 and that is reflected in the Hall of Fame.

When is flying no longer worth it? ·

I don't think I'm poor. I've been playing this game for over 19 years 

When is flying no longer worth it? · · 8 likes

I'm currently grinding for the Globetrotter merit. I'm also trying to have at least 1000 of each plushie and 1000 of each exotic flower to turn in next Museum Day. 

 

Right now, I have a really good system going where I'm flying while I'm working, and my breaks are timed perfectly with landing, so I can buy Plushies or something flowers and turn around and fly back. 

 

But I'm wondering, is there a point where doing this is no longer worth it and I should be doing something else on Torn City? 

 

What are your thoughts? Did anyone here give up flying after getting the Globetrotter and Tiger Skin merits? 

 

 

Line of Credit · · 1 like

The members of a Torn City extremist group contact you with a proposal. They require some fresh credentials and they're willing to pay top dollar. These folks have some nasty beliefs, so you hit them with a demand of $250 per card. Your terms are accepted and you're able to offload 10,000 cards to the fanatics.

Yeah I was going to say, you got a Shabti Sculpture at least... 

Market forecast after museum day · · 3 likes

Honestly, that sounds awesome. We need a massive points sink. I think that plus a way to re-read books for points could solve the issue
