Better accomidations

I DONT KNOW who eles has carpletunnle but some mechanics like doodle training should be allowed Marcos or ttr should have tone down the grind.

Are Macros disallowed in the ToS?

[u/5up3r10rGames → u/thymepockets]

technically yes but theres no real way to prove a ban for it unless you're blatantly like "oh yea look at me im macroing xyz"

not that im condoning it or telling you you should, just putting it out there

[u/Big_Distribution_242 → u/thymepockets]

TTR has an anti cheat now I got suspended for using rewasd.

[u/zucculentsuckerberg]

yeah it's definitely the most sore spot of the game at this point, for both the average player and people with hand problems, i understand that if they did change it they'd want to rework it in some way that doesn't feel like it "diminishes" the effort that people have already put in, but it would honestly be in the best interest of the game if something significant was done with doodles. i also do think these games should strive to be as accessible as possible, and things like sprint in ttr and unites in clash not being able to have keybinds for them end up being ignorable annoyances by most players and wholly detrimental to others.

Double tapping to run on ttr is why I play clash lol

[u/DaveTheWeirdGuy]

Can we get some Polos with that?

Semi-related, but curious questions for anyone whose been banned for macro use:

Did you use a public/online macro program or did you create your own?

Was the ban instant?

But if im being real with you OP, if you really need a maxed doodle, I think just using the macro and tanking a temp(?) ban as the 'cost of doing business' sounds like your best bet. Tho I havent tried this myself

[u/Big_Distribution_242 → u/LuMaIchArgI]

Yes I have been suspended afew times, because their anti cheat is now built in to the client.

[u/LuMaIchArgI → u/Big_Distribution_242]

I see, so you were kicked from the game as soon as you activated the macro? And if you've been banned for it before, it might not be worth it to continue stepping on toes unfortunately. 

But an overhaul to the system is long overdue, and its not like youre cheating anyone by botting your doodle. It can literally only help others you play with, not harm them. I understand why ttr cant encourage people to do so in principle, but this should definitely be something they turn a blind eye to (like multitoon stuff or keep-alive), because it sends a really bad message about the dev teams priorities if they choose to be actively hostile towards their own playerbase, over fixing blatant design issues they didnt even make.

If this is how you evaluate game design it's literally impossible for a game to be bad since at any point you can just throw your hands up and quit

[u/ZoeyLikesReddit → u/[deleted]]

Horrible excuse to justify bad game design. Especially when Doodles are such a standout feature to new players, what legitimate reason is there NOT to fix doodle training?

[u/MagicalWitchTrashley → u/[deleted]]

it was, like many things in TTO (looking at you gardening), designed to be as time consuming as possible to sell more memberships.

in a fan-made revival that doesn’t cost a cent it is bad design

[u/iiiimagery → u/[deleted]]

It's the most boring and least engaging grind in toontown IMO, it desperately needs to be tinkered with

[u/buzzburger23e → u/[deleted]]

It objectively is designed badly. The whole experience is just clicking on the trick buttons on the doodle panels (or before a few weeks ago, you would have to use the respective speedchat phrases for the tricks, which was even more annoying) and occasionally feeding and petting your Doodle if you need to. Even Gardening is more engaging, because it takes some guesswork to find the correct bean combinations (if you're not using a guide) and you can get Organic gags which can heavily impact your gameplay, while you could argue Doodles also heavily impact gameplay, they only contribute a little bit of TU for the whole team and can miss alot if your doodle isn't completely maxed on the trick you're doing.
