Yes, I noticed that too, but only some.

Remember to look for the color yellow and not just the pie hitting.

Don't think I noticed yellow and white splats on the same stun on the same side, but I only VPed twice yesterday.

This is from the test update dated 12/09/05:

• Fixed an issue with VP boss cog's animation during VP battle.
• Fixed a graphics issue that made some parts of the VP battle platform to look strange

I've experienced this on Open many times. It's extremely aggravating when helping low laffs / low suits. Here you are hoping for a win for them and many bail after not being able to push the VP further even though he is being stunned and hit with the pies. He is backwards many times during the vp. I have stayed even with him backwards and the pies not harming him but it takes a long time, and much effort on those remaining.

I played last night with 8 toons in the busy district. When we got to the pie fight, I figured that none of us were good stunners. He wasn't getting stunned and was jumping a lot. It took a very long time but we finally got him to the mirrored floor. One toon then went sad.

It seemed that we were throwing pies by the ton and not only was he not going back, but he was rarely stunned.

The floor made it seem to me he was floating. I thought it was a glitch. We had to toon each other up constantly.

Finally, he went over. I was exhausted, and then realized it had been 40 minutes!

I haven't played enough to be an expert at what was different.

PS: Just yesterday I was reading a post where people were saying you CAN push the VP Back, from the rear when he's facing front. But maybe they eliminated that to make it harder.

Once I realized he was turning around backwards at times, I saw that he went back and forth. You will have to watch closely to see.

TooniestMommie are you saying you have seen him go backwards like this before this update? I don't know anyone who has seen this before. I hope this is not going to be the norm!!

I don't believe this is what Disney set up and is a new VP....
I think this is all due to the system changes ....I remember on test a year or so ago when they were making changes, we had the reflective floor just like now. I think him turning all the way around he is just bugged.

What I am having trouble understanding is why the rush to open with this with Test still testing so many of these bugs? I mean talk about a headache they must be getting all sorts of letters and bug reports about this.

I am going to stay calm and hope they will be working out all the kinks SOON!

Of course I thought that when they down scaled the merits earned per factory run.

Lets go ... opps Cant go and Bring it on!

Yes I agree, ive been vping quite regulary in last 2 weeks, only noticed these things in last two days since they put up the major changes notice.

Also graphics glitches in cfo aswell, disapearing cranes, flashing bits ect.

also in Sell Hq and none of glitches working, well hardly working anyways.

I reckon these arent by design, but to do with the updates.

P.S. Spare a thought for the ones who machines are getting rebooted by TT at mo, i'm thankful i'm just getting minor graphics glitches that's for sure

Yeah, thats from the Test server site, but what about Open? Why must they do all this buggy stuff on open before fixing it on Test?

I really wish that they wouldnt have changed this until they fixed it. I wasted so much time yesturday trying to win the dang vp but everytime we stunned him, the pies had no effect so we never got him to move, i wasted quite a few toon up unites trying to save us because i hate vp and didnt want to go again and we had a good group. But, it wasnt enough and we all effentually died all because the pies had no effect *sigh*

You have to try hitting him with pies from both sides, front and back, and look for the ones with yellow splats. I've done 5 VP's after the update, and have only found them slightly more difficult than the old VP pie fight.

Yay another dodgers fan! well anyways, i haven't witnissed it yet because I crashed during constuction my sf was so dissapointed

[Knuckles Whisslehoffer]

that happened to me tonight! but we could hit him (you had to get to his front side, i was the only one attacking cuz i was the only one on the edge of the ramp!

[Good ol Duke]

My only tip to that is to hit him where He's Facing. I've tried. It works!
