Task mis-count

[MaxCheezyPocket]

Has anyone noticed that you don't always get credit for doing a task? I had to defeat 20 two+ buildings and I had 16/20 before I went into a building and had 16/20 when I came out. Just now, I defeated 2 cogs with 2 low-laffers. I needed just one more before the fight. After the fight, I went to Toon HQ and he told me to come back after I finished...when I looked, I still had 34 of 35 defeated (????).

The first example may have been because you looked BEFORE you technically reclaimed the building.

The second example is a bug that you see that you completed your task when dancing from victory, but you didn't.

I noticed 1, I was helping a low-laffer, she had to defeat 4 bottom feeders, after she had finished her task, she helped before going to get her reward. after she helped me, she still needed 1 more bottom feeder

I had that happen and also the opposite. I had just gotten a toontask and then another toon came in right next to me. As I was turning to leave (I didn't back away far enough when I turned) the officer said "Good job" heres your reward. I don't know who that was that got jipped but, sorry dude, I'd give it back if I could. I'm sure he was reeeeally ticked.

No...I'm talking about the task not being counted at all. I check my tasks before I even start, not during the happy-dance. For example, before I went into the building, I had 16 of 20. When I got done with that building (ie back at the playground or out in the street), I still had 16 of 20 as my count. They same with the helper tasks...I counted BEFORE I grouped with anyone...I needed one more. After one fight (with 2 people plus myself grouped), I still needed one more.

The only problem like this that I've encountered (or noticed) is when I run up to a toon who is already fighting. Say I run up to the toon & he kills the cog, but another cog walks up. When we kill both cogs, it'll give me credit for BOTH at first, but then when I check again, it only really gave me credit for the one I participated in killing.

I have had it where if i am in a building and there is for example One Big Wig and i need 8 they give me 2 or even 3 points for it!!! i am not complaining but then when i do another mission it takes FOREVER to find.....

[Sir Laff-A-Lot]

I've noticed that too! many times has this happened to me Not get credit for a kill) with those big wigs were you collecting ice cream cones? because big wigs sometimes have more than one each. Also the jellybean counter used to be real bad about shorting you but I think they fixed that.

its happened 2 me b4 as well i chose like a 120 minglers task for a 3 point laugh boost [ actually was a good task to choose] i went into dreamland buildings and there were like 3 of them but they only counted like 2 im not sure if i was awake or half asleep but i could have sworn they only counted 2, it didn't make me mad cause than i need more and more sellbot buildings[at the time my friends needed sellbots] so i was happy, but it was my first encounter with something wrong in the game...i dunno i was probably dizzy cause i played like 24/7 from 8:00 in the morning to 5:00 the next morning eating in front of the computer as usual lol [ if u ever wondered y i take forever sometimes to choose a gag it's cause im falling asleep while playing the game]

Hi goodolzanyspark!

Maybe I wasn't seeing things the other day then hehe. I had to do some task, where you had to defeat something like 10 cogs that can only be found in a building. Went in, needed 2 left. And we defeated 2 of them. Came out of the building all happy, only to discover I still needed one more I looked to see where I needed to go to either get my reward, or get the next task for the reward and surprise

But I figured maybe I just goofed up...thinking now I didn't

Also, not sure if this is everyone, or just me. But if someone completes a toon task, it turns green when we're all doing our happy dance. But I see that spot as green for everyone, whether they've completed it or not. And if I have a defeat x number of buildings, it won't count the buildings during the happy dance, but does once outside. Weird weird weird.

Just happened to me on my current task...I had 1/20 four story buildings done, did another and still had one.

Makes you wonder for a minute...did I really do that building?? Was I dreaming?? Lol.

So I guess my task is really 21 four story buildings.

The green thing is a bug. You are seeing the text color left over from the previous toon who completed something. For example, if you and I smack 20 cogs and that completes a task for me, when it gets to you, the same line in your task list will be green.

The building count thing is working as designed (according to Tech support); annoying as it is. You don't get credit for the building recovery until you exit.

One thing to note about the happy dance in buildings...I seem to always be 4th in line to count...back when I was having video driver problems, I would sometimes crash out during the happy dance on the 5th floor of a bossbot building in DL. Guess what...? If it doesn't get to your stat updates before you crash out, you get ZERO credit for the gags you used. When I talked to tech support about this, they said it's designed that way so people won't ALT-F4 out of the buliding after the last COG is gone. Seems rather silly to me. Who cares if you watch the happy dance or not?

One thing to note...when I say "talked to tech support", I actually spoke to someone on the phone. When I had my video issue, I was playing e-mail tag back and forth with a bunch of different techs. I got so annoyed, I specifically asked that I get to speak to one tech on the phone, which they did. We talked for about 2 hours about all kinds of stuff in the game that are either glitches, known bugs, etc.

when you left the building did u check the toontask button it should say you have 2 done. When i had to do a building task like you said 20 four story buildings i would go into one building and when i danced it would still say 0 but when the building falls than it says 1 and it just keeps going like that
