Question?

If you go into a house with $0 and make it to the vault does it increase your bounty?

Re: Question?

If the house has 0$? Then when you reach it it wont teleport you out, so you'll have to leave via the entrance. Isn't that like saying "If i go in a house then leave will it increase my bounty?"

Or am i missing something.

Re: Question?

You can still teleport out if the vault has 0.  If a owner was robbed, and redoes the self test without making any money, there house will be put back into the neighborhood with $0.  The vault would still be considered "robbable", not "broken", so when you reach it you teleport out.

Re: Question?

If the vault has been robbed (0$) and the owner of the house has NOT yet reset his house, that is true Archonn. But it is possible to reset a 0$ house (maybe you want to save your investment and rob someone else, or do some notool scouting before suiciding) which makes the vault robbable and will teleport a robber out as they reach it. Reaching this vault will add 500$ to the robbers bounty.

Re: Question?

But - this is where everyone misunderstands. You CAN NOT just farm a single vault over (if they repeatedly reset) and over to increase a bty. There is a small limit (already in place) and its pointless to do. This is where the people who keep writing forums about bounty boosts/cheating and resetting 0 really just don't know the basics.

Re: Question?

If you dislike this discussion of dual accounts so much, crazyace, why do you bring it up? As far as I can see this thread is not about that.

No-one said anything about exploitation in this thread until you brought it up.

You can't keep allowing these new people to think it works wrongly or unfair that people have 2 accounts and sit and just reset 1 and farm all day. Because IT DOESN'T work that way - I repeat. This is why the whole problem started. SO they should know how it actually works right?

If you say - Yes you get $500 each vault - every single person misunderstands that. Because almost every game out now you farm, farm, money, gold, herbs, everything. If anyone hears '500 each vault! Ok my friend will reset over and over for me for hours!'  Jason has a lot of protection in the way to prevent this and you can only gain a small amount of money and its not worth the time. He wouldn't ask otherwise if there was a deeper curiosity reading other forums.

(because obv they think you can)
Then he won't have to think everyone cheats like people who misunderstand how it works. You brought up exploits etc. Not I.

Re: Question?

I rob 0$ vaults if they are easy and I have no extra account to make money off. If I die in a house I like to look it up after to see how big my bounty was. It does not have to be an exploitation issue and right now you are -making- it one for no reason what so ever.

Re: Question?

To sum up and stop these possible going to be nonsense flame between some users here:

Yeah you can get bounty at 0$ vaults, but only 1 time in a hour.
You can only rob 0$ vaults if the owner reset his house again, otherwise it will be shown as broken until wife is dead.

If the wife survives and the vault is broken, the house will still show up in the list.
If the owner resets the vault and the wife is dead, the house will show up in the list.
If vault and wife is broken/dead, the house will NOT show up on the list.

Hope that helps

And please guys, be constructive and get your dual accounts discussion whatever in the threads we have. I like to see better answers than only dual account. As example I am here in the forum to see new traps, fallen houses or participate on a collective robbery. Or just discuss some topics in ONE thread, not all. Thank you.


Edit: correct the mistake with 3 times

Re: Question?

Actually, from what I've searched, the facts are:

You get $500 per vault per hour with a top limit of 4 lifetime.
thread with code on it.

And tigey101, try making your titles more descriptive, you may attract someone who knows faster. Unfortunately, there's a lot of threads with incorrect information. You might be better off searching for official replies from Jason or code to get answers you can truly rely on.

Re: Question?

Actually, the "vaultReachLimit" in that thread is for something else.  When salary was still in the game, you'd have houses at 0 make $50, then be robbed, then make $50, then be robbed, etc.  The vaultReachLimit is to prevent that from happening- after 4 robberies, you stop making a salary.

The *second* part of that thread, however, is relevant.  The "vaultBountyTimeout" being at 1 hour means that you can only get bounty from reaching a house's vault once per hour. (but there's no limit, I believe)

Anyways, I definitely second that bit about descriptive thread titles!

Re: Question?

The timeout between vault robberies has been increased from 1 hour to 24 hours in the last few days, I believe.  There are other bounty exploits that are alive and well.
