• 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.
  
  Furthermore, the increase of necessary merits for promotion will now be more gradual leading up to level 50 cogs. Once you reach level 50 for a cog type you will no longer need to collect merits to fight that cog type's boss, you will earn an executive washroom key which will let you come and go as you please!
  
  Please note that Merits/Cogbucks reward will be given only when Toons finish the whole Building/Factory/Mint.
  
  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 12:00AM PT to 11:59PM PT.
• Reduced Train noise volume by half in the Train Yard.
• Fixed a typo for building sign "Wet Suit Dry Cleaners".
• Fixed incorrect "Mary's Go Around Travel Agency" sign again, now it should read "Mary's Go Around Travel Company".
• Fixed incorrect shop name in Task dialogue for "Timbre, Equipment for the Singing Lumberjack".
• Fixed two crash causing bugs.

Awwwwwww.
Here we go, get set for the barrage of complaints.

[Lemongoose]

I think this update brings a lot of good things. Fixes a lot of Bugs, Lowers Merits need for Hollywoods, and Allows Level 50 Hollywoods unlimited VP runs

All Good things IMO

-_- I guess that means no more ditching a mint/fac after you have your merits/bucks.

No more having to worry whether a toon will leave you half way through a bullion run. Not fun when it happens

[The Darkmew]

Yeah! Noobs will not have to worry about the ditching in the mints anymore!

P.S. Not that im a noob...............

[Loosy Goosy]

Loosy Goosy can finally restock his SOS cards! Woohoo!

[Zilly Zillerzilla]

Yepper, much to my surprise my merits for Lvl 14 Holly were lowered significantly this morning. Instead of 4 more fac-runs I only needed one. Well we shall see how it goes

BTW Love the new sig Loosy!

Mine did that too. The Shticker book for my Holly 20 and Holly 12 still shows 0/5500. My Holly 21 had earned some merits before the release and the book now shows full merits. I sent in a bug report about the two toons that didn't update.

I'm going to see what happens when I actually earn merits for these two toons to see if it updates.

[Ducky Wucky]

OMG you guys i did a long run and i got 194 merits out of that run ugh and i am a holly 15 and they never lowerd my merits i still need 5500!!!!!

Hmm, just checked my Mr Hollywood 20 and he had 533/5500. I thought the same thing about earning more merits to see if that updates it. I took out 1 cog and now I have 535/5500.

Yep, that is the down side to the update.

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.

They demoted the Sell factory so the merits are now lower. Granted, there will be no more running/ditching but you will need more/about the same number of runs to get your merits (once they get the bugs worked out for some Holly levels that is).

If you have time; do you think you could do this: Go into a 5 storey Sellbot and tell us the number and level of cogs on each floor and tell us how many merits you got in the end?
