Last nite I was invited to try cfo battle (after having been gone from test several days.. last I was on he was unbeatable). I was excited to try it again. Off we went, 4 of us were sf's other 4 unknowns. Cog round easy, breezy as usual. Then we get to the cfo. I am still very uncoordinated on crane so did not work it much except to test it out and get a little more experience. For the first 20 minutes I stomped goons left and right. CFO was still yellow! There really was no challenge or hurry in defeating him since 2 toons had 'toons of the world toonup' phrase. Still I did not wish to be in there for such an inordinate amount of time... what I am talking about is this. I let my kid take over goon stomping because he's always been an expert
and I was getting frustrated that cfo was still yellow. He stayed there stomping and craning for at least another 45 minutes. He grew bored and handed it back over to me. By this time cfo was orange and rarely taking damage. 2 of my friends just alted out of the battle becoming tired of it. I won't do this to others so I stayed. Another friend finally said "lets go back to the playground" to inform the other toons of our intentions. We were just exhausted from being in there so long.
I'm interested to know how long it takes most to defeat him. I don't even want to go in if it is common to take over an hour to do it. I was told by one friend it's usually accompolished in 20 minutes. Is this what you all have experienced? If so, do you need to have toons with very good crane experience and how many should be expert with crane use? That battle makes me scared to go in with anyone I don't know. Imagine the frustration on open trying to get only friends (who are all ready to go). I still want to see better instructions on crane use. I've read the threads on technique and feel that is most helpful to anyone who goes. However I can still do barely any damage from crane standpoint. I've not seen anyone else post about having a problem with this. Am I the only uncoordinated, frustrated toon out there? I feel if I cannot get the hang of the crane I will not do any good to a group in cfo
