I thought I was going crazy. I noticed the xmas lights not up and was wondering where they were.

Well this update really messed things up. Enter in the HQ factory and pass thru the first door sends everyone into the vast grey unknown,the only way out of it is to TP back to the playground. Happen on both servers and both side and main entrances.

Verified with 3 others toons that the same thing is happening to them so its not just me. Bug reports filed. Hopefully, the disney team is working overtime this weekend.

So those of thinking HQ is coming to Open tomorrow ....LOL not a chance.

don't you think they should just open it to the public and update it from there?

In the factory if you appear in the grey simply turn around and go back out the same door you went through, then turn around while the doors are still open and the world graphics usually fill in. This has happened to me every run through and the above has taken care of the problem.

Sure. Everyone wants to play a game that crashes their system every 20 minutes, and requires them to download updates each day to fix bugs. No, that's a frustration that's reserved for the test server, thank you very much. Just settle down and accept the fact that Cog HQ will come to the open server when it's ready, okay?

Amen to that brother. I swear, each day your saying something smart and Im liking ya more and more. Keep it up with the smart talk.


Your right though. People need to be more patient with this. Its not something that can happen overnight. It needs to be perfected. You should be glad your playing while they build. Most companies will hold on to the game till its done then release with bugs and you have to wait for patches for it.

Yep they dragged out the same lights as last year, lol. I wonder
how many bulbs had to be replaced

Another bug from this update which I reported was:

When you engaged your Jelly Bean Jar you couldn't get off of it, whenever you clicked Cancel or Ok it kept re-engaging. After about the 10th time, Alt F4 was my friend
