Says I didn't participate in the Egg Hunt · · 8 likes


It says I didn't participate in the egg hunt. But I found 14 eggs, lol.

Not to mention that the sentence is grammatically incorrect as well.

Consider "You did not participate in the Easter Egg Hunt Competition."

Was it a total waste of time and effort and lost e from daily refills and such? Absolutely.
Do I give a fudge? Not a chance.
This was a fun few months in the process, and feels nice to have everything set up as best as I could for the best results.
Feels nicer finally being done with it.
Now for an FHC month with daily refills to finish the book out.

Awareness increases SIZE of item on City Map · · 15 likes


Awareness should not only increase probability of finding higher end item, but also the size of the item on the map. Just to make it easier to see. Each merit level could increase it a pixel or two and really help.

Rearrange Points Building, or let us do it. · · 9 likes


I love the fact that the home screen has the ability to rearrange the stuff you don't use.

Let's do that for the points building, or have an option to remove the ones you have already purchased.

My setup would look like this:

Make the legends not mission targets! · · 4 likes

This was the mission. But this needs to be corrected.

The CHAMPIONS of the game, the OG'S should never be mission targets.

LeukyBear has his own collectible, he should never be a mission target, but he is.

If you have your own collectible, ineligible for a Duke Mission.

He was amazing, and my suggestion is to make certain people not applicable to be mission targets, to show respect to them.

 

This is my current mission....

"I'm confused Slinger, I dunno what to do about a comhumdrum I got. See this punk LeukyBear owes me money, but soon as I ask for it back he's all like "Oh poor baby Duke needs his money back because he's broke and he's gonna cry if he don't get it wah wah wah".

 

Okay so first off I ain't no baby, I ain't even never been a baby. When I came out of my momma I was already a real hairy man. That's probably why she left me in that dumpster for the cops to find. My main problem is that I want my money back, but I don't wanna look like I need the money back, you get what I'm sayin? I want people to think I got so much paper lying around the place that I could, I dunno, open a paper factory.

 

Look, go and get my money back off this jerk. Mug em for whatever cash they got on them, even if it takes a couple of tries! Then give them that money straight back, because that'll teach LeukyBear that I want their money, but I don't need it."

 

Calling LeukyBear a punk and a jerk and making people attack him for a few points is, just sad. 

 

Do better. Exclude the OG's.

Item Market Search Category: Proc % · · 2 likes

Here we go!

 

OK, you're looking for a weapon with a particular bonus. You want something that will do what you actually want it to do. You search primary, or secondary, or all, and search based on quality, or price, or the bonus you actually want. If it's the bonus you're looking for, and all you're looking for is a high % Deadly or a high % Warlord or a high % Revitalize right before Halloween, that's your ultimate goal. Do you just sift through all of them? Thousands? Quality could be 50 with a top tier proc % and buried under pages and pages of 60% weapons with higher stats and much lower proc, or based on price by what people FEEL it's worth. Sure, you have to do it,  because maybe sorting by price you'll find people who priced accordingly because "I KNOW WHAT I HAVE," but this could be so much easier. Easier to find a 20% Warlord for dirt cheap because someone didn't know what the real value was.

 

How would you feel when you find a "low" quality, high revitalize weapon for pennies on the dollar. 

 

How about buying a 20% Warlord for 3mil to add to your factions armory? 

 

My petition to the crown, and praying to the lords of commerce and the God of RNG, I beseech you. PLEASE, add a new search term, PROC %.

 

"Programmed, Random, OCurrance." 

 

Let us search for the items that we actually want to find.

 

Let us search in descending order, the most effective EOD gear, the most effective Warlords, the most effective Revitalize.

The most, effective, items, available for purchase.

 

Make it happen.

 

We need this. Torn needs this. It's an easy thing to improve functions of the market to increase sales and fees paid.

 

Do it. That is all.

NEW DAILY MISSIONS! ·

TL:DR New missions for daily activity that most are already doing, to increase new player retention and reward active players.

NEW DAILY MISSIONS! · · 4 likes

TL:DR New missions for daily activity that most are already doing, to increase new player retention and reward active players.

 

I forget to race after rehab all the time when the icon disappears. It's like I wish there was a checklist or a daily quest sort of thing. WoW and many many many many other games that have kept people active for decades, have a checklist built in for things to do that day, AND IT WORKS. 

This game could maintain more newbies and veterans by just having dailies to complete. What are your dailies? Mine are disposals, xans, trains, mission, racing, spinning some wheels with Leslie, and then now arson just completely eats up all sorts of nerve. 

Not a script, or an outside app, as in a feature you have to download separately that only works on certain platforms and only if someone told you about it. A REAL FEATURE, built into the game itself. If you have the app it could send notifications like "Your energy is full, and you haven't collected a bounty in 27 days" or "You have 6 remaining daily missions and the new day starts in 3 hours." 

I mean like you log in, the mission tab is lit up, for Duke but ALSO George, or a previously locked "Mission Giver" (Maybe named Slinger🤣) has "Bust 3 people" and "Mug 2 people" and "Train a full energy bar" and "Race in one race" and "Buy a (random item category) from the Item Market" and "Train 2 different stats" and "Bail out 1 person from jail" and "Send a mail to someone not on your friend or enemy list, outside of your faction" and "Commit 10 Crimes" and "Place 6 wagers in the casino" and "Visit Leslie, he's lonely, spin a wheel for his sake" and each one you complete you get like a small, 5-20 mission credits, for each one completed that day depending on difficulty. Little things, that keep people engaged. 

Like an ACTUAL "Daily Missions" that could be randomized and just get more people to play more often and reward them for it. "Here's your 10 daily tasks" and it's easily incorporated into the already sound mission system. It'll give George something to do after the first 10 missions, or name an NPC Mission Slinger or just Slinger and I'll change my name, as an homage to the idea, and ultimately regain players and get new and old players more involved, and make it less stale in the end game. THAT'S what I mean.

You could eventually go a step further and add missions relative to the holidays and special days. People log in for their dailies and have one for "Fly to South Africa. The hunt is on!" Or "Collect 2 Easter Eggs" or "Make 20 moves in Christmas Town!" Each rewarded with a couple credits.

I can write them just as good, if not better, than the great new arson narratives, if you want me to. Verbose, Snarky, and mildly offensive is my kind of gig. 

Final value: More players, more interactions, and more revenue for the game. Yeah there's a daily attack so and so who hasnt been online in years mission for 120 credits. But what about a bunch of small "Keep playing and keep grinding and keep communicating with other active people" missions, within the game? New type of missions that embolster the idea of "There's so much to do here!" And get rid of the old "I haven't anything left to do here besides wait for my nerve and e to go up so I'll see you all in a few hours if I remember, a few days if I forget, and a few years if I get bored." 

Like it? Upvote it. Love it? Share the link with your faction. Hate it? Place 5 bounties on different people, and maybe you'll get 10 mission credits for doing so when it goes live. 🤷‍♂️😆

Is anyone building a dirty bomb atm? ·

Wondering if anyone is building a dirty bomb right now and would like some "financial assistance?" AKA I donate to the cause so I can get a couple of merits. 

 

Me pay. We blow up some other faction no matter how small. I get merits. 

 

Pretty simple.

We should be able to bet on politics like you can do in Las Vegas. 

Let me bet on the political races just like the horse races.

Let me make bets on who will win the American Presidency.

 

I'm pretty sure I can pick a winner... Just saying.

I am far from offended. By anything. I guessed D like gagged or ragged or rugged, or tagged. Nope. I was hoping the R at the end would be denied and get rid of some options, but nope.
