Find out what the developers did last month, why they did it, and how it will affect you in this roundup of July's notable Patch Notes.
Patch List #199
Munster Released
Stocks 3.0 saw its second new stock added in the form of Munster Energy Corp (MUN). This stock was priced at around $420 per share when it opened and pays out one six-pack of Energy Drinks every seven days to those who own 5,000,000 shares.
Logged-out Viewing
Players used to be able to view Torn's forums, chronicles, and newspaper articles without being logged into Torn. This feature has now been reenabled, with all of these areas made fully accessible even to those without a Torn account. This change was made for various reasons, with one being that many inactives who still receive the newsletter can now use the forum and article links in George's mailout to see what's going on in Torn today.
Patch List #200
Hospital Revives
Your revive options can now be toggled directly from the hospital page by clicking the coloured text in the top right corner. You can now change your settings between allowing revives from everyone, no-one, or Friends & Faction only in an instant. Previously, your revive settings could only be changed via the General Settings tab on the Settings panel.
The hospital revive setting function was amended in Patch List #201 with the addition of a notification that will show up when your settings have been changed. The colour of the revive status text was also changed so that Friends and Faction was displayed in orange, in order to differentiate it from the red text used for Nobody.
Faction Search
Donators and Subscribers can now use the Advanced Search function to hunt for players across multiple factions, as opposed to being limited to just one faction at a time. This is particularly useful for tracking players who repeatedly hop between factions, or when you are looking for targets in a multi-faction war. This feature can be accessed by simply adding additional faction names into the Advanced Search dropdown box.
Allure Honor
Players who enter the Mr and Ms Torn contest will now receive the Allure honor bar at the end of the competition, providing their submission hasn't been removed. This was deemed a necessary change due to the fact that players with disqualified or self-removed entries were retaining the Allure honor bar and would have to have it manually removed after their entry was taken down. We've also fixed a small issue whereby withdrawn entries from a previous year were preventing some players from submitting an entry into this year's event.
Patch List #202
Hunting and Tiger Day
The code for the Hunting system, which had remained unchanged for a very long time, was refactored towards the end of the month. Once this had been completed, we were able to add in several new hunting targets for the Tiger Day event between the 28th and the 30th.
For the duration of this event, players can now hunt the Addax, Pangolin, and Cape Vulture, with higher skilled players more likely to track down these rare and exotic beasts. The rewards for hunting these animals are much higher than usual, with the Addax earning you $850,000, the Pangolin $1,400,000, and the Cape Vulture $2,800,000. There is also a fourth hunting target added for teh lulz that pays out absolutely nothing.
