• Fixed a bug that awarded an excessive amount merits and/or item recoveries in any multi-stage battle (i.e. buildings, factories, mints). Now the number of merits received will be increased by the same multiplier used for the gag skill credit.
  For example, merits recovered on the third floor of a building will be multiplied by a factor of two. The result is that in most cases the number of merits gained after the bug fix is comparable to before the fix. Item recovery rates have not been adjusted.
  
  For more information about how the skill credit multiplier works please refer to the Player's Guide.
• Fish Bingo Wednesdays will now last all day, from Wednesday 12AM PT to Thursday 12AM PT.
• Reduced Train noise volume by half in the Train Yard.
• Fixed two crash causing bugs.
• Various typo fixes.

WOW! That sounds cool! I wish there was a new thing added on toontown, then I'd get my sleeping test monkey out of bed and try it out!

A bug is a bug, It needs fixing to rule out that its causing other bugs in the program. By the sounds of thing there will not be much of a change.

Bingo fishing is a nice change for us UK toons, My girlfriend will be happy

Never really had a problem with the sound level, and any other bug fixes are a good thing.

On a side not luckyduck, if you use the list code, you can change the layout so its nice. Saves a Moderator from having to do it later

I think you didn't understand... You would have earlier gotten around 1300 cogbucks in bullion mints. You SHOULD have gotten around 300. Now they are returning it to around 300 cogbucks but multiplying it by 3. So that is around 900 cogbucks.

[Lemongoose]

So if there is an invasion going on, you will get more than the old system would of given, 1800 cog buck in the bullion for example

Every cloud has a silver lining

Ummm, maybe 5 is how many facs you would have to do to get 5500 merits now (?). He was thinking that you multiply 500~ x2....and....that would mean....6 facs. Ok, never mind. I have no idea.

I'm still really confused on the merit/buck system.

[Lemongoose]

What annoys me, is they are not going to change it so non promotion ready toons can fight the VP. To me its simple, remove the if statement which stops you from entering the lift if you are not ready for promotion and change it so when you beat the vp, it checks then, and changes what the rescused toon says. So if you are ready for promotion, the toon says i will take your promotion papers in, and if you are not it will say sorry, you need more merits before i can promote you. Does not seem that hard to me Certainly make it easier to help your friends out if you dont need to worry about getting 5500 merits.

Sorry about how noobish I sounded up there, I was in a rush.

Do any of you realize how low the total of merits you will get from the Sellbot Factory will be now?

The Sell Factory gives 97 base credit, and due to the "bug" which has been with us for over a year, it was increased to 530 Merits, which was, if you ask me, the perfect amount of Merits to give toons. Without the "bug" the merit total is still at 97, so they're doubling 97 instead of 530, so we get 194 Merits for beating the factory rather that what it would appear to be, 1060.

DO YOU WANT TO GET 194 MERITS A FACTORY RUN?!? That means around 30 factory runs for Hollywoods!

Cashbot HQ, will be off fine. The changes there will probably be for the better, as 6 Mints runs just isn't enough for the Robber Barrons, as it actually takes less time to get merits and fight the boss in Cashbot HQ then in Sellbot HQ... That's ridiculous!

Toontown is doing a good thing for Cashbot HQ, but don't expect to see any Hollywoods in Sellbot HQ anymore, they have to do 30 factories to fight VP, and you thought getting your measly 200 merits was hard...

Toontown could fix this in several ways. Raise the gag credit for factory to 3x? No, no that'll only give you 300 merits and you'll still have to do 18-25 factories. Raise it any higher than 3x? No, that would make the gag credit FAR to high for the easy factory. What they should do is something like the Newsletter suggested for the mints in Cashbot HQ. They should have some sort of special safes you find in the silo control rooms and a few other rooms that would have merits in it. Or, they could just make an exception to the Factory and just let it be at 530. They just simply HAVE to do SOMETHING about the Factory...
