Greenleafs Are Getting Mugged Abroad · · 1 like

While bounty hunting in Hawaii, I came across a GreenLeaf who had just gotten mugged.  Their status had changed from Okay to Hospital and so I looked to see if the attacker was stealthed, they were not so I looked at their profile for a possible bounty or mugging opportunity. 

 

The attacker was not a GreenLeaf nor in the faction they were warring with.

 

I reached out to the GreenLeaf and asked them if they would be okay sending me a copy of the attack log.  

...

That's interesting, I thought for sure you would have Greenleaf protection for the first 14 days.

If you'd willing to would you send me a copy of those. 

...

I'm curious about this and want to discuss it with some friends this would allow me to show them. This sort of thing should be impossible with a few exceptions and those involve Faction Raids and it didn't look like your faction was being raided, was it?

Thanks,

Ive been mugged a solid 25 times since starting so if there is a 14 day it isnt working

I'll pass this along to the powers that be and hopefully they get it fixed. 

 

 

Suggestion for adding Advanced Gunsmith to the Combat Training Tree · · 2 likes

It would be really cool if there was an Advanced Gunsmith branch in the Combat Training education tree.

After completion you gain the ability to convert the fire control group of semi-auto weapons to 3 or 5 round burst fire.

And possibly add a fire control mod for semi-auto weapons that becomes available as a mission reward available to the player after completion of the education coursework.

You know that will show up in a reCaptcha  "Click all images of a butthole."🤣🤣🤣

 

It is only a matter of time!!!  I hope to see it happen too😂

Mission Rewards same item with two different prices · · 0 likes

Now that something you don’t see everyday 5.56mm PI x 500 for 91 mp or is it 119 mp?  If I want to do 119 I have 3d but if want them for 91 instead then I have 4d to get them.🤔

 

         

 

If player doesn't catch the difference they would lose 28 mission points by spending 119 points instead of 91 points and those points are only slightly easier to come by then hens teeth.

Suggestion for adding Advanced Gunsmith to the Combat Training Tree ·

A player who spends the time to complete the courses in the branch would gain the ability to use some amount of E along with some amount of N and create that mod for a sem-auto weapon.  The weapon becomes permanently modded and behaves as if the player used mission credits to acquire the mod.  The weapon then changes to non-tradeable.  This would open up an opportunity for players to trade Energy and Nerve instead of mission credits to mod the weapon after completing the required coursework.

Yeah the poppy seed false positive was addressed back in the early 1980's, And is not an issue anymore.  The tests can now determine if it's opium poppy metabolites or non-opium poppy metabolites.  Technology has improved a whole lot during the last 50 years.

Make it solve a reCaptcha before it can present one for you to solve and each time it sends any additional panels,  reCaptcha the reCaptcha show it who's master.  

If reCaptcha had been around in the 70's the Borgs wouldn't have been a problem, they'd be trying to assimilate.

They're real. Had to deal with a half-dozen of them today.  Probably triggered by ferocious spelling and grammar.  I'm like, bro if you paid for a bot that plays as bad as me, spells as bad as me...you probably should maybe choose a different game.

Imagine if, through a concerted effort, an enormous network of AI programmers decided to somehow convince reCaptcha that the incorrect selections were correct and did this non-stop for an extended period of time.  And then AI became convinced that the data it had originally been trained on was incorrect and replaced that data set with the "Poisoned" data set.

The chaos and insanity that would ensue...Oh the humanity 🤣🤣

 

 

One does wonder though, do the "Grace Periods" get delayed whilst you feverishly solve 4 pages of grainy-ass photos?  What if you fail a timed mission because of being forced to solve reCaptcha before you finalize your mission and had to solve reCaptcha at every fight screen. 

 

Torniator 3 The reCaptcha  coming to a theatre near you.

Would be nice if and when they do show up it not be during time critical situations like when you land, buying items abroad, clicking travel home.  Do it between destinations, and don't force a failed mission, a 3.5 hr hospital visit, or a mugging that only happened because reCaptcha ran out the 15 sec Grace Period.

Everyone will at some point in their Torn lifetime get to savour the reCaptcha nectar at least once.  Is it inconvenient as hell? Yeah sometimes especially during grace periods.  But once the AI overlords are convinced you're just another drug riddled Torn citizen running plushies to support your Xanax addiction, it'll leave you alone...maybe...maybe not.

I would rather deal the occasional reCaptcha than a server full of Bots.

That player who took time off from work, to participate in International Lions day.

Flies 3 hr 17 min to South Africa, finally solves the reCaptcha, spends another 3 hr 45 min in hospital, has to solve another reCaptcha upon leaving hospital, back in the hospital...event has ended, clicks on travel home, hospitalized while trying to solve the reCaptcha, throw computer system out the 6th floor window and get arrested, charged, convicted and sentenced to 15 years for attempted murder.  🤣

Mission Rewards same item with two different prices ·

That makes sense

Mission Rewards same item with two different prices ·

I understand the range of prices, so why not prevent duplicates of the same item being presented to the player at the same time, instead of allowing 2 (my case) or 3 or 5 of the same item all at different prices? 

 

Without ensuring that each item displayed to player is unique, there is the possibility for all of the available rewards offered to the player to be the same item.  When a new reward is to be offered, check if it is currently be offered to the player, if yes then select another reward to offer.  This would prevent the possibility of player's available rewards all being the same item.

Thanks for the clarification

Flying while being attacked ·

Quick question.

If you are not in a war and are being attacked while in Torn or abroad, how exactly do you get to make escape attempts during your turn in the fight?  And if you are the attacker and losing the fight do you no longer have the option to attempt an escape during your turn?

 

Maybe I am misunderstanding something, trying to get clarification and understand the fight mechanics.  It just seems strange that the victim would have no avenue of escape, while the attacker does.

 

Thanks

Quick follow-up do the muggers have to be part of the opposing faction?  As neither one of the attackers were.

 

Thanks

Okay, I'll pass that on.  Thought that only applied during a faction raid.  Thanks

SHAT DIRTY BOMB INCOMING ·

Are the Plushies Ok?!?

 

There seems to *sniff-sniff-sniff be an odd aroma of burnt feathers and fur in the air. 

Dirty bomb. IN THIS HEAT? · · 1 like

Think of the poor Plushies!

 

They were stuffed and crammed into suitcases, then they were duct taped to the outside of aircraft nearly freezing to death so this is how to warm them up?

 

A microwave oven would've been more cost effective!!

 

And you just know that P.E.T.P. will be filing lawsuits over this cruelty to Plushies!!

 

Maybe can find some Cesium this time🙏🙏
