How Can You give proof of that you know those disneybots usually lie about Cog HQ on open

**Batleth** · #3 (**permalink**) 12-13-2003, 02:19 PM

Frankly, CogHQ is still in it's testing phase and has a great deal of bugs to be worked out, in my opinion. If they push CogHQ this quickly on to open, there will be alot of dissappointment to the amount of bugs that still exist.

At the rate they are fixing and causing bugs trying to get CogHQ operational for open, I wouldn't expect to see it on open till at least the end of next month.

They are probally doing that so the toons on open get to see it. They have been waiting a super-long time. I mean over half of the toons in Toontown don't even know about this site or the Test Server. So because the toons on open don't know about all this, Disney thinks it would make more people play Toontown and make the people who already play it happy.

Its just someone thinking they know everything. We all know what kids are like sometimes.

I think you are overestimating the timing a bit, Batleth. Seeing as they have announced on the toontown site that Cog HQ is coming any day, I believe the pressure is really high on the developers to get a release candidate ready ASAP. And with each new test revision, the stability of the game is improving drastically. Yes, there are quite a few bugs, but major crashes are few and far between for the majority of us.

My personal guess is we'll see a final release candidate at the end of this week, and the Sell HQ will go to Open around Tuesday, the 23rd to catch the Christmas break period.

For one, the bugs haven't been worked out. Not even close! I think given a week or so, it may be ready but I doubt today or tomorrow. That's my opinion as a tester.

Secondly, they never do big updates like that on weekends. It's their busiest time so they usually do updates on Tuesdays or Wednesdays I believe around midnight.

Third, unless you can show proof from Disney that it's coming out, I wouldn't believe a word of it. There are many RUMORS flying around about that. I'm not holding my breath. Cog HQ is exciting & will be lots of fun. Just be patient. Your friends can't tell you when it'll be released, I can't tell you when it'll be released, nobody can 100% for sure. I would MAYBE believe it if you got a letter from Disney but I doubt they'd even tell you. Most of their answers to this question are along the lines as "We haven't set a release date yet, but soon."

Last, they will tell testers when it's getting ready to be released to open. See this thread: I know when Cog HQ is coming to Open!

I tend to follow that a little more closely than people that are just wanting to get people's hopes up & start rumors. We've heard these so many times....sigh. I agree more with Batleth. I think it may be a disappointment if released with the bugs still remaining in Cog HQ .

My point is, there have been SEVERAL threads claiming to know when Cog HQ is coming to open. A lot of them haven't panned out to be true.

yeah.. it wont be out that soon..even though it said "any day" and "right around the corner", it doesnt mean tomorrow.... it means, soon. possibly in a week or so. and even with that, it could still contain a few bugs.. yes, they are working around the clock to fix the thing to send to open, and it would be nice to have the game in a few days, BUT, it will more than likely come out a day or so before x-mas.. and thats stretching it

you know, it will probably come out when the big bugs are fixed (like getting trapped in "The Void" and stuff) and not sooner.

tyler_comsa · #10 (**permalink**) 12-13-2003, 10:06 PM

dont you think they sould open it to the public and then fix the rest of the bugs?... there may be a lot of bugs but it would shure make a lot of people happy!

I am not on anyones side for i think you are all right!

And if it is opening than

Tyler, I think that the first priority is to fix the bugs BEFORE they go out to open. THAT'S why they have Testing. That's what it's for. I think people would be excited to have it come to open but I think a lot of people would be upset if they couldn't go through Cog HQ or play w/o constant interruption or logging off or getting stuck. You pay for a good game, not bugs. I think they'd get lots of complaints if they didn't fix them first.

I've seen situations like this before (when I played EQ on their Test Server) and it's amazing sometimes how fast developers can get a product out if they really have a target date set... and usually with a lot of the obvious bugs that the Testers were complaining about fixed... but most companies that do online games like this are more interested in making their targeted release than releaseing a perfect product.

I'd be willing to bet that this WILL be released before Christmas, simply because that's what the boss cogs want. And it will contain bugs... but probably not nearly as many as Testers are seeing right now.

Unfortunately, if it is released in it's current state, these boards will be clogged with complaints of crashes and resets. I can't wait to see how happy people are going to be when the district they are in with 200+ people crashes when they are defeating that last Mingler for the key to Daisy's Garden or a Gold Tooth from a Robber Baron!!! Be forewarned, multiple crashes and resets occur over on test with only Max. 25 people per district(there are only 2 districts, for those of you who don't know).

I hate to say I told you so, so when the boards clog with complaints of Cog HQ problems, I won't be posting.....

SonicKnuckles · #14 (**permalink**) 12-13-2003, 10:48 PM

On the toontown siteit says open updates can only happen on thursdays and tuesdays.

Olorin · #15 (**permalink**) 12-13-2003, 11:38 PM

I seem to notice that whenever an update is going to be put on LE, they take the feature off the Test Server, THEN once its on LE, they release it again. I haven't seen that yet, so I'm not expecting it to come out tommorrow, lol.
