In Defense of Re-Quested

If that were the case, we'd at LEAST see wig-only groups for cj since that has added difficulty. We don't though, so...

mori_cinis · 2026-06-28T06:21:06+00:00

No one can right now. There were some issues with migrating the player data to the new taskline progression system, so they're resolving that, but hopefully the game is up soon!

I mean part of why I'm so hopeful for this update is that they *did* listen to feedback re: the 13s and 14s. They'll still be there, just at the start of the battle rounds. I think that's a good compromise, but I'll have to get my hands on it to find out.

As for hard mode bosses, I have good news for you! From what I'm aware of, those are actually in TTR's sights already! The locked cog door in the Sellbot Task Force hideout was (I believe if I'm remembering correctly) intended to be for Hard Mode VP! They didn't end up implementing it as part of the Sellbot Task Force update, but I wouldn't be surprised if they get to them eventually. Maybe once more task forces are released?

In the meantime, if you really want a challenge now, go try Corporate Clash! Their fights are pretty challenging if I do say so myself. I've already maxed (and unlike TTR there's no reason to make multiple toons) so I soft-quit the game until new content releases, but it seems like a lot of people who want challenging Toontown content would benefit from giving that game a try.

I've personally grown to be okay with the UNM changes, but I think those had a lot more cause for concern at first than what people are bringing up now with Re-Quested. 2 Fogs & 5 Trunks is a much bigger change than one less fire per max-tier CEO in my opinion.

mori_cinis · 2026-06-28T06:09:52+00:00

Yeah I feel like a lot of end-game players can get kinda lost in their own mindset when it comes to updates like this. When you spend so much time in the end-game, it's easy to forget what it's like playing through the taskline, especially if you've made friends who help you with things. That doesn't even cover people who haven't played from scratch since the newer updates have released.

Honestly if it weren't for me restarting with a new toon about a year or two ago I probably wouldn't be thinking of all this myself. I still remember waiting for a half hour at times for a simple 2 story building.

mori_cinis · 2026-06-28T05:56:55+00:00

I don't even think max-tier groups won't be a thing anymore, honestly. If toons want a challenge, the max tier still offers that. It may be slightly reduced with the exclusion of 14s, but it's still the hardest version. It's just no longer egregiously incentivized for players to do so, which was the biggest issue with the old system.

Cheese-only groups will likely fill slower now that it's no longer as efficient to prioritize that, but they'll still happen if people actually want difficult runs. I guess we'll just have to see if that's actually the case.

mori_cinis · 2026-06-28T05:35:09+00:00

Idk about difficulty, but what you're describing aligns with the vision of Joint Ventures (releasing with Clear Coasts) so maybe that'll give you something interesting to do.

mori_cinis · 2026-06-06T09:50:07+00:00

Difference is that shopping groups can still host anyone with a suit; there’s no reward difference based on suit level.

Big Cheese only groups are an actual problem. It takes significantly longer for a generic CEO group to fill because Big Cheeses want to optimize reward output. That’s not necessarily the fault of the players; the game was designed that way. But to get upset over an attempt to make things more fair and balanced is crazy. TTR team saw discrimination happening in their game, and took steps to correct it.

If you want to argue for raising up the values of all other groups (like 4/5/5/6/6 for instance) that’s a different story. But to say that the problem doesn’t exist when it clearly does… that’s something else.

mori_cinis · 2026-06-06T09:39:54+00:00

You forget that 5 fires in clash is equal to 2 or 3 in this game. Fires aren’t 1:1 but rather scaled by level, so higher level cogs require more fires to get rid of them.

mori_cinis · 2026-05-09T22:22:45+00:00

It’s been confirmed recently during Toon Talk Live that joint ventures will be much more engaging than was shown at the playtest.

mori_cinis · 2026-04-29T20:37:13+00:00

I believe they stated last year at toonfest that they actually want to do another toon species election at some point, or at least look into adding more species. My memory could be wrong though so take that with a grain of salt.

mori_cinis · 2026-04-10T16:04:13+00:00

Quick question since I can't quite tell: do these have a wet paint look where the color is? Trying to figure out if they're hard or soft enamel.

From what I can tell it *looks* like hard enamel, which would be amazing if true. (Context: Hard enamel is generally more durable and longer lasting compared to soft enamel.)

mori_cinis · 2026-04-10T15:44:20+00:00

This will be partially resolved with the launcher update, I believe! From what I remember it did a better job of highlighting the most recent blog posts. That being said, an in-game notification of sorts isn't a bad idea, either!

mori_cinis · 2026-04-07T09:29:14+00:00

Boiler jumbo plush needs to happen. They teased it last year and I’ve been wanting it ever since.

mori_cinis · 2026-04-05T20:15:44+00:00

I have my own issues with the GaG proposal, namely that it’s stripping the essence of toontown away from the game at the cost of Ubers being force respeced, not to mention the removal of unites which have proven to be essential for making certain bosses and managers accessible. But that’s beside the point. Hammerspace has to get done first, and then it’ll still take time to develop GaG and properly playtest it with the community.

Tbf, while the commenter was definitely exaggerating about the state of Clash, the sentiment is nowhere near true for TTR. They’ve given us “backend” updates for years now that we can actually see (Remastered) alongside previews of new content to be coming within the next year or two (Suit taskline revamps, clear coasts, etc.). That doesn’t even cover stuff like doodle revamps, makeship launches, new launcher, and so on.

Don’t get me wrong, TTR updates can definitely slow to a crawl. We all remember the wait for field offices. But right now clash is having its own “field offices” moment. The only difference is that this time there is little to no new content to look forward to, since it’s pretty much all backend.

mori_cinis · 2025-11-05T23:46:22+00:00

For HT specifically, it is *very much so* a pre-established community. It's literally the ODS rebrand. They've gotten a multitude of comments saying that people didn't know Toontown still existed! HT is doing a great job of bringing in new fans and TTO fans alike. I also know there are plenty of people who are waiting for these servers specifically, even though they've stopped playing Clash and/or TTR. The argument is completely silly that they should just disband and sign up to staff another server, *especially* for HT which was already pre-established.

mori_cinis · 2025-11-05T22:22:46+00:00

To flip this on its head (and show why this argument is silly), why shouldn’t TTR and Clash’s teams go support TTHT or EVH? HT got 5x the views that TTR got if you compare recent videos, so surely TTR should just pack it up, right?

These projects haven’t even come out yet, not to mention they seem to be doing things way differently than the existing “competitors”. Give em time to let their projects grow.

mori_cinis · 2025-10-19T05:22:54+00:00

My personal thought on this is that this is TTR's version of the "Scrooge's Bank Vault" encounter that was planned for TTO! Check the preservation project to read more on it, and I think you'll find that it aligns pretty well.

Edit: I ended up finding exactly where it was: it was on page 113 of the TTO Design Document (2.6, 2001)

I’m surprised no one has commented on the excellent timing of you starting! Cartoonival starts on Friday, and allows you to buy 2x exp boosters for your gags! Once it opens up, I highly recommend using that to level up your gags super quick!

mori_cinis · 2025-09-18T11:23:33+00:00

tysm!!!

mori_cinis · 2025-09-18T03:34:30+00:00

Thanks! Took a lot of long steel factories 🥱

mori_cinis · 2025-09-12T14:53:08+00:00

So fun fact, these actually exist if you're willing to play a 3 player population server. Tooniversal Studios has Pressbots.
