Can we get an icon that displays our revive chance?
Show us the range of our revive chances between reviver skill 0 and 100 when hovering over the icon. Example: Revive Chance 30-60%
The icon could stay permanently or could only show up if you currently have a revive penalty, like drug addiction, booster, and medical icons.
Reasons this would be beneficial: 1: Allows you to regulate your revive cooldown to help balance with your med cooldown.
2: Knowing you only have a 5% revive chance stops you from wasting your time or a revivers time when seeking a revive. You probably wouldn't even bother asking if you knew you were only at 5% to begin with.
3: Helps to better coordinate attacks with other players based on cooldowns.
4: Could help coordinate contracts with revivers, so revivers will know when to expect an influx for the need of revives. If we don't know what our cooldowns are, it makes it difficult to plan ahead.
So we all have bad days. No one is perfect and we all sometimes take things a little too far. However, for the most part, I try to be nice and fair with everyone I come across. Let me know if I handled this situation poorly. Should I fire this guy or should I not? I felt like I shouldn't, as it really isn't any of my business. Perhaps I'm wrong though. So lets hear what Torn has to say. Am I wrong? Should I fire this guy or not?
Now I missed the first part of the convo, I didn't save it because I didn't think it was really necessary. By the time I realized the situation had taken a turn for the worse I went back and saved what I could. But basically it was D3vl telling me one of my new employees had said some negative things about him. So he wants to attack and bounty that person. So he asked me to do him a favor by firing that employee. I aske what was in it for me, and he said "having a friend in me".
D3vl: Can you see this from my point of view Brian: I'm not personally actively helping him though. Brian: This job is to farm mission credits. At least for me. D3vl: You are passively doing it Brian: But not intentionally D3vl: You are aware now D3vl: If you decline staying out of it, then you are siding with him. D3vl: You want to not be involved, get ride of him. D3vl: That company special of yours is helping him Brian: I'm not siding with anyone. I'm sorry you feel that way. He didn't ask me for a job because he needed protection. And the only reason I hired him was because I had an open spot. If I didn't have an open spot, I wouldn't of hired him in the first place. Brian: I didn't go out of my way to assist him in any way, shape, or form. D3vl: Why the hell you think he asked for the job, if it was not for protection against me D3vl: No, but you are aware now on why he applied to your job. Refused to replace him, I see you as siding with him. Brian: Almost every single person looking for a job in a PSF needs mission credits. A lot of people look for a job just for like a week to get something. D3vl: His intention is purely to be safe from my bounties D3vl: No other reason Brian: Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. I didn't talk to him about it at all. He just asked if I was hiring. I said yes. He applied. D3vl: Well and now you know the true intention and you have been notified. If you refuse to stay out of it I will make a note of this. So be warned. Brian: I have no issue with you. I have no issue with him. You are now warning me, trying to get me to bully him on your behalf when I have no issue with him. You expect me to do all the work of finding a new employee as a favor to you. I don't owe you a favor, as you've never given me a favor, nor have I asked for one. Brian: You didn't even offer to find a replacement. You expect me to spend my own time for nothing in return. Brian: If you want to start an issue with me over an issue with someone else, that's your decision. I don't appreciate people expecting favors from me for no reason. D3vl: Im not starting anything, you are. D3vl: You got the option to stay out of our beef, which you are refusing. Brian: I didn't tell you to do me any favors Brian: I never asked you to do anything on my behalf or for me D3vl: Enough already D3vl: Im after that guy, you are harboring him in your company D3vl: Get ride of him if you want to stay out of this D3vl: If not, you are siding with him D3vl: Its that simple Brian: And by firing him I'm now actively taking part in your dispute and siding with you. D3vl: No, you are not taking any side D3vl: He brings trouble, you dont want part of that D3vl: And I dont want people helping him stay protected from me Brian: So what's in it for me? D3vl: You are just quarreling now. You know your options. Brian: You asked me to do you a favor. So what's in it for me? D3vl: Having a friend in me? Brian: Merry Christmas. I hope you have a wonderful holiday. D3vl: Marry christmas Brian: You added me to your enemies list? D3vl: XXXX [XXXX] : XXXX of The Expendables D3vl: U made your choice Brian: I choose to not get involved in your drama. So you choose to add me to your enemies list over it? lol D3vl: then dont help people f**king with me D3vl: You do that, you are involved Brian: I'm not purposely trying to help anyone D3vl: Gave you a choice to get ride of him and stay out of my beef with him Brian: Do you want me to start f**king with you or something? D3vl: you are added to my enemy list so I remember for the future D3vl: Im not one you want to f**k over, I have a memory longer then a elephant Brian: I honestly don't care D3vl: Good D3vl: Then why bother me with this Brian: If you want to dislike me because I won't screw my employees over for you, you're not someone I'd want to be friends with anyways D3vl: See, there we have it. Your fake ass true colors shows Brian: Which is the only thing you offered for doing so. User has blocked you.
Honestly, I feel maybe D3vl is having a hard time atm. Life isn't always easy or fun. But if you stick with it, trust me, everything will get better. If anyone is friends with D3vl out there, you should make sure everything is alright in his life.
Anyways, I've never really talked to D3vl before this. Does he have a valid point? Should I fire someone on his behalf? Or is this an unreasonable request? What would you guys do if you were in a similar situation? If I've been the unreasonable one, I will apologize and agree with his request.
I'd like to have an offical dirty bomb history, found maybe in city hall or something, that lists the faction name, damage done, date and time, and possibly the name of the person who dropped the dirty bomb (if the person chooses to reveal their name), of every dirty bomb dropped in torn history.
Bombs aren't normally dropped very frequently and I think they deserve an offical spot in torn history to be remembered.
Haven't read all this so if this has already been suggested, my bad.
I would love to see options for wars. For example, no flying, no external revives, no revives at all, no armor, no weapons, race to a certain score, first faction to defeat all members, elimination where once you've been defeated by a war hit you can no longer attack anyone from the opposing faction, race to a certain chain #.
I know some of these might be hard to program, but i think adding different variables and win conditions would make things way more fun.
bogie, I thought about this more, and I agree with you. When I said the phrase "freedom of speech" I meant it in a context that deviated from it's definition. That is my fault and I apologize.
I would define freedom of speech as being able to say what you want without getting in trouble.
I think certain things people say should 100% get them in trouble in this game. Examples are doxing, threatening someones life, and hate speech.
If you are going to remove one word from the censor then I feel there are other words which should be lifted as well, but not all of them. Certain words are most likely too controversial and would cause more work for staff, which is never a good thing.
I believe you want what is best for Torn and the community and I trust you to make that decision. I personally don't see the value in removing the F word, unless it frees up staff to focus their attention on more important things.
I don't see how people can't have freedom of speech, but at the same time, we ban and remove people for being racist or saying hate speech. Why can't both be true?
Say what you want, but saying something hateful, you get removed from the game.
A specific word isn't hateful. It's the context and intent that it's used.
For example, if a person uses the N word in a way that it is derogatory and the intent behind it is to cause malice, that's hate speech, and they should be removed from the game. But if you have two black people who use the same word towards each other with no ill intent or malice behind it, that isn't hate speech.
If people want to say some words make them feel uncomfortable or it's too hard to monitor, then keep the censor.
Censor or not, if someone is being hateful, remove them from the game.
I'm not sure if this is a setup for a forum ban. But how about the four letter C word?
Also I'm not sure of all the words that are censored. I prefer to speak the same online as is do in real life. I'm not offended by words, but there are words I do not use. I blame my mom.
Very interesting putting words in my mouth. I did not say hate speech. I meant it at face value in terms of censorship over specific words. We should be allowed to use words without censorship in my opinion. The context in which words are used should be monitored, as they already are. If that's too much work, then just leave the filter alone.
I see little value or benefit in only dropping the f bomb. Personally I think the entire filter should be dropped. Free speech and all that. But if we are going to pick and choose, then just leave it as is.
So... When are we going to make weapons and armor degrade? Make them impossible to repair so you'll have to keep buying new equipment! Consumerism to the rescue!
I'll let someone else post it in suggestions, lol.
If you have 1b dex with zero modifiers, you have 1b dex.
50% modifier gives you 1.5b dex.
If you use tyro, it adds 500% to your modifier, giving you 550% total modifier which gives you 6.5b dex.
Armor that gives you a stat modifier like sentinel or vanguard just add to your modifier.
For example if you have 50% modifier to start.
Vanguard armor gives you +150% modifier.
Tyro gives you +500% modifier.
Total modifier is 700%
At 1b dex you end up with 8b dex with a 700% modifier.
Smoke and tear gas are different. Someone else can dig into the details of those...
Also, not sure what the guy above this post is talking about with armor... Armor has nothing to do with hit chance or defensive effectiveness. Armor reduces the damage you take by a percentage, after damage from stats is calculated. For example if someone hits you in a spot where you have no armor and they deal 1000 damage, you take 1000 damage. But if that hit were to hit an armor spot and you have 25 armor, you take 25% less damage. So you'd only end up taking 750 damage instead of 1000.
Wondering if this is working as intended or not. Snowman mask covers eod helm and sandworm mask. It doesn't remove either of them when you equip it. Eod helm i could understand, but the sandworm mask visually seems much larger. Is the Snowman mask supposed to cover eod and sandworm mask?
If you have 1 billion strength and you read this book. After 31 days you will gain 10 million strength. If you use a stat enhancer afterwords that stat enhancer will give you 10,100,000 strength.
If you have 100 million strength and read the book, after 31 days you will gain 5 million strength. If you use a stat enhancer afterwords that stat enhancer will give you 1,050,000 strength.
The fortune teller allows players with the ability to travel to check the percentage of their current level progress for a price of $75,000. Level holders will simply see their progress as 100%.
