I think it's a fair bet that DG will be the easiest cog HQ, and they'll get more difficult, or maybe require different techniques to defeat the VP in successive HQ's.

Exactly what I was thinking! Last night when they shut the system down I bet that's what they did! They fixed it so that you could actually defeat the VP. Of course this speculation on my part. But it seems odd that everyone had so much trouble defeating the big guy until this morning after last night they updated the system.

If your finishing with 60+ lafs, and the pies are now unlimited I have a feeling they tweaked it too make it too easy.

It is already too easy to get your cog suit pieces. You can get them solo everytime if you want to.

That's more difficult now with this update (as well).

You can't just waltz through the warehouse, There's a lock on the exit door and the button is upstairs with the cogs on the observation deck.

You have to battle the two end silos on the top floor before you can take the middle (otherwise you can't unlock it).

This adds about 10 more cogs between you and a suit part.

Have fun in toontown, ...Bear

Adn let me add my congradulations on the first VP defeat. WooHoo

Paul, these links don't work. Atleast not for me. It says date expired. Could you post them again? I forgot to take any screenies myself!

[Pinks]

Congratulations! Toontastic! Whoo hoooooo!

[Bunny Summers]

So you guys had the right idea after all! That's awesome! I'm glad someone finally did.

Can't wait to see the screenshots!

Agreed. Pie limits weren't our problem before, him being unhittable on the helipad was the problem. He's quite hittable, but you do need a good nigh-full bar to do it.

well,maybe they will keep it easy on this one,and make it harder for upcoming HQs..
like, bossbot HQ may only give you 10 pies at a time..

WooHoo we got him that was so much fun
even though I crashed the minute he went over I still got promotion ans SoS card reward.

The factory is much harder to solo now
but we did manage to get in the centre silo after pressing the button in the wing silo, the arms were across the door but we got in by running up to it as normal. Only saves a fight and will prolly get fixed
Only one piece of suit each centre silo fight so far

sweet...sorry I didn't check that updated part out yet as I had my suit. However, its good to see the locks etc put in place to keep from breezing through the Factory.

Ok, I understand how you could think this... however, remember this is supposed to be the easiest of the Cog Headquarters. If You (as uber-toons, or very high laff toons at the least) are getting down to 60 laff pts then actually think of how hard it will be for a group of 40-55laffers that usually only have one or two tracks to lvl 5 and mostly lvl 4 gags. (including not having multiple toons with juggle)

I can speak for most mid laffers about the difficulty of the factory... I got owned in there last night with a group of SF 50 laffers. We just didn't have enough heal to get everyone through it safely. Now, having said that, I've also made it through the factory about 5-6 times now (of course a few of those times were before the update toughing it up, and I usually had at least one high laffer with me).

I think they are on the right track as far as setting the difficulty level (although from the sounds of it the actual HQ boss fight still sounds a bit excessive for mid laffers) On a good day there's no way the toons I've been hanging out with could ever defeat 33 lvl 10-12 cogs just to get to the VP. We'd be so much smoking toon piles after the first wave.

Sounds more to me like the difficulty of HQ right now is set to about where The Brrrg's Cog HQ should be. After all, once you uber out a character how often do you go smashing lvl 4 cogs in Daisy's Garden? Most ppl just hang out in DL or the Brrrg at that point unless they are helping low laffers.
