The only reason to check someone's laff during the pie fight is to see how low they're getting. Even without being able to click on someone to check their laff, you can *generally* tell the newer toons by the -10 everytime the vp jumps...as most toons "new" to the vp don't know to jump when he does (although it could always be a toon who's lagging as well).

The main problem with Disney making it so you can't check on someone's laff is that if you see someone take 3 hits of -10, and if it's someone at say 46 laff points, they can't afford to lose those 30 points while someone at 105 can lose 30 and still be fine. How to tell who's in the most dire need is the issue here, not whether or not someone's a "noob".

I don't know of anyone who checks laff for any other reason than to ensure the team all makes it during the pie fight, this was a terrible decision on Disney's part.

I don't see this in the release notes. Why do you say it is an update and not a bug? Please tell me if I missed something.

I noticed it for the first time last night and did not notice it a couple of days ago. If this IS an "improvement", I think it stinks, and I hope you all will report it. I plan to report it right now as well as any other time it happens.

Edit - here is the report I just sent.
"Hello,

Yesterday while in the VP I found I was unable to check another toon's laff by clicking on their name during the pie fight. As I am sure you are aware, this is often the only way a toon will survive. I personally try to keep track of toon laffs so I can help them if needed while others are trying to stun (I am not a good stunner - this is all part of teamwork) I sincerely hope that this is just a bug you need to fix. If you make it so toons must ask for a toonup, there will be nothng but chaos and sad toons (for one thing, some toons whine for a toonup when they don't REALLY need it while others may not ask till they are too low). Please, PLEASE tell me you are fixing this bug!!!"

I'v only noticed this in the direct attack part of the boss battles. It dosen't happen anywhere else.

[Professor Bubble]

Yeah, I noticed this yesterday in the V.P. and today in the C.F.O. Quite frankly, it stinks. I really don't want to take Toons on their word whether they need a Toon-Up or not. Some Toons have a way of requesting a Toon-Up even if they're a few points down. In the V.P., I have no way of knowing if that Toon is just whining about a few lost points, or if they're in serious trouble. I have to decide, "Is the risk of that Toon going sad serious enough to stop attacking the V.P.?" Yes, it may cause me to lag, but it's my decision if I want to do that. I'd like to have the option.
Same thing in the C.F.O. A Toon says they need a Toon-Up. Do they really, or are they whining? Is it worth using a Unite? Should I stomp some extra Goons and give them more treasures? Or is it just a waste of my time? I can't tell. We've gotten so accustomed to playing like this, I don't know why Disney would do this. If we want to risk the lag, it should be our choice.

It has nothing to do with that...if you are noobphobic then check their levels before you get on the elevator. This is just during the pie fight when laff points are being deminished by the VP...

[Silly Funnymush]

I just did a VP run and realized what you guys were talking about. I think it makes the battles a little more interesting and a little harder. I mean the VP run was easy enough as it is. This just provides another challenge.

I think whoever is low on laff can stay back, away from the VP until someone can toon them up. If you have a full load of 8 persons, 1 person can help tooning up the others, while the rest keep the VP busy. At least, that's what I did.

just work around it. If it is a bug I'm sure disney will fix it....sooner or later.

[Sir Ernie]

I think it's probably another bug. If Disney would of added it, it would be in their release notes. Then again theres always those "silent updates", where they don't say anything, and just add something. Adding(or I should say taking away) something like this, should be mentioned if it was put into the game. That's Disney for ya.

Well I am not like that....I stick up for noobs but I just don't like the fact you can't tell there lvls at certain points...heck you can't tell their laff by waht their pie hits heck! there can be someone with a maxxed cake and they could be lvl 40! believe me!

The only time you can't check other players levels is when you start to fight the VP himself. You can check players level's when the VP moves to the top, just before the skele round. You can also see thier laff levels when you are in the cog and skele battles as thier laff points are shown when you are choosing a gag.

It really isn't too much harder. Toons just have to start looking out for themselves and try to survive. It's just an added challenge.

[SkoolHater]

Hmm well this ***.I hope that this is just a bug and they fix it as soon as possible.I remember a few of my friends complaning SO much about this.

[Master Peppy Sniffleglop]

Well if you ppl say so...its just another pain in the caboose for me.
