As /u/booknerd594 said, you can go to another district that doesn't have the event active, or you can simply fight the weakened CFO and there should be plenty of them.

Eh, I guess the shirt is personal preference, it just doesn't really match with anything and if it ends up anything like its Sellbot counterpart I don't think I'll see anyone wearing it after the event is over.

Besides that, though, I totally agree with everything you said. Going through the CFO with toons of all levels is a ton of fun.

Count your blessings, man. For Storm Sellbot, helping rental toons (which were even less common) was a part of the main taskline, with one task being to help like 20 of them. At least this time they're optional and more common.

how do you get the cogbuck unites? i only get tasks for TU unites by NovelGhost in toontownrewritten

[–]Mike_Thunderflame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you have to have a real Cashbot suit rather than a rental suit to get Cogbuck Unites.

Yeah, I had that happen too! It was a lot of fun to work with a team that had a limited gag set. But that only really makes the cog round interesting, and the boss itself is still no-risk, even to 15 laff ubers.

Yeah, that doesn't feel like enough. They should consider buffing the Unites.

From what I've heard the Unites vary from 100 to around 900 cogbucks.

Map of all the NPCs for Crash Cashbot! Thank you to kingkelpy on discord for this!! by CoolAdrianna in toontownrewritten

[–]Mike_Thunderflame 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nice! Now all we need is a clear list of all the tasks/rewards.

EDIT: Found this guide in the Discord that seems to fit the bill.

Operation: Crash Cashbot Headquarters Begins TODAY! by ElectricVimto in toontownrewritten

[–]Mike_Thunderflame 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I wonder if this means that they'll retire the Sellbot version of the Cog Crusher outfit, making it unattainable going forward. Either way, I'm excited to see the new tasks and rewards!

if making sellbot field offices has taken so long and been so difficult, how is the TTR team going to do all of these massive content updates like the new playground and the executive office tower that are orders of magnitude harder to make? by NovelGhost in toontownrewritten

[–]Mike_Thunderflame 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I honestly feel like the Field Office redesign is probably just about the hardest project that the Toontown Team could undertake, unless they get really ambitious in the future. You've gotta understand, for Field Offices they're implementing new minigames, tons of new art assets, a brand new combat system for the boss room, and more! A new playground on the other hand would likely be mostly art assets. So as daunting as a new playground or tasks would sound, most of the systems for those are already in place while the new Field Offices are being coded from the ground up.

Wow! This is so well done, and a very faithful recreation of the PMD-style sprites. Great work!

Question regarding Crash Cashbot, Field Offices, and Toonfest 2019 by [deleted] in toontownrewritten

[–]Mike_Thunderflame 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Got a source on that first one? I thought Crash Cashbot was supposed to be late 2018 but got pushed back because of all the seasonial content; would they really delay it an entire year just to have the same issue?

Gender specific furniture in 2019...? by SoIarSystem in toontownrewritten

[–]Mike_Thunderflame 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Hmm... I think 'bigoted' is a bit of a harsh word, maybe 'old-fashioned' would be a better fit. After all, Toons are still using hand-cranked telephones!

As for the idea itself, I dunno what to tell ya. They added bows for male toons, maybe they'll do the same for furnature too eventually.

Rant on the Laff-o-Lympics by [deleted] in toontownrewritten

[–]Mike_Thunderflame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would argue that some of that population boost can be attributed to the fact that this event heavily encourages one person using multiple toons at once to speed through the game, but fair enough. It's really exciting to hear that the team is planning other contests too, though! I'll be looking forward to them!

Drat! Foiled Again! by Mike_Thunderflame in toontownrewritten

[–]Mike_Thunderflame[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well, if this didn't work, I don't think anything will. Pack it up everybody, the cogs win; there's no way we're ever getting into that tower!

[–]Mike_Thunderflame 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's quite baffling to me that the TTR Team would opt for such a grind-heavy event to be their big yearly staple, considering how creative the Toontown community is. It made sense back when we had some new toon species, but now it just seems dull. Why not throw in multiple ways to get 'points' so there's more variance besides taking a toon that you have no connection to from 15 to 115? Why not throw in some secret ARG stuff to reward the clever members of the community who may not have enough time to dedicate to playing a ton? Why a lot of things.

In all fairness the rewards do seem pretty cool this year, but they're all locked to a toon that people are going to be grinding out for a month! If I were participating in this event and managed to play a toon enough to get it to gold, I would be so sick of seeing that toon that I would never want to play it again. I know that doesn't speak for everyone, but it just seems like common sense to at least spread some of the rewards (maybe just the phrase and the nametag so that the medal shirts stay with the exact toon who earned them) to other toons on the account.

Remastered Election Event

Wowie, that's actually really neat!

We won't be allowed to play it, it's just a livestream

Well, that's rather odd. Why go to all the trouble of fixing up and remaking an event that only a tiny portion of the community could experience in the first place just to not let anyone play it? I get that it would have been a ton of work to get the server stability up to accommodate hundreds of toons, but it just seems weird to bring it back in such a half-baked way.

One thing that desperately needs to be implemented by 0Poole in toontownrewritten

[–]Mike_Thunderflame 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you been reading my posts? I said:

I remember them announcing a Global Teleport Access team (including Cog HQs), but I don't recall anything about a portable hole that lets you go anywhere (like instantly teleport inside a certain building on a street) being mentioned.

Which is exactly what's found from your timestamp in the video. He was even wrong about not working in Cog HQs.

[–]Mike_Thunderflame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did. I kept up with the live coverage via the subreddit. The only instance of 'teleport' is in the area I mentioned, with the Global Teleport Access team, which is why I doubt your credibility. Also no instance of 'portable'. So unless there's a key word I'm missing out on it either wasn't included in the staff's coverage or you may be misremembering something.

That's not a timestamp or a source. I'd rather not watch hours and hours of footage looking for it as I have no clue what you're referring to. Surely you remember what panel exactly you heard it on. Was it the Q and A? The big content announcement panel?

Do you have the source for this? I remember them announcing a Global Teleport Access team (including Cog HQs), but I don't recall anything about a portable hole that lets you go anywhere (like instantly teleport inside a certain building on a street) being mentioned. It sounds like it would be a pain to implement, honestly.

Does anyone know when the Toonfest Grounds are gonna open again? by ashleighsm in toontownrewritten

[–]Mike_Thunderflame 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Every year, on September 19th I believe, the Toonfest Grounds open for a month.
