Freestyle improved

[djt5483]

might as well get rid of casual freestyle all together

[LFAW]

I believe it means I will win a game that i was probably going to lose now...lol

Heheheh you were lucky fitz

Though boo! Bad update

[ahunda]

So what´s next on the list ?

1v1 team games, I hope ?

[Brann2006]

I will personally be joining as many freestyles as i can and using delay tactics to win games just to prove that this is a bad fix...

What delay tactics remain?

Great fix Lack...

I Can Take My Turn Faster Than Most... So Now When The Game Gets Crucial I Can Just Move Quickly, End My Turn And Then Wait 8 Hours Until The Other Guy Is Gone To Take My Turn...

Same With Speed Freestyle... Now You Absolutely Have To Be The First Person To End Your Turn... Before I Knew When Rounds Would Be Over And It Didnt Matter Who Ended Their Turn First... Now You Literally Have To Sit And Mash The "B" Button For 2 And A Half Minutes...

Or In The Case Of A Casual Game... You Have To Mash The Button For 12 Hours :0)

I Can Almost See An Argument In Changing This For Casual Games... But There Are Plenty Of Us That Play Speed Freestyle And Enjoy It And Double Turning Does Not Ruin Lives... But Congrats On Ruining A Great Way To Play The Game... You Could Have At Least Added A F**kin Option In The Game Setup Menu "allow double turns/don't allow"... People Can Then Create Or Join Whatever Game They Wanted...

The Funny Thing Is That Those Of You Who Thought This Somehow Needed To Be Fixed Think That All Of A Sudden You're Going To Be Great Freestyle Players... You Think This Will Help You Beat Herpes At Mogul? All He's Gonna Do Is Start And End His First Turn And That's That You're Waiting On Him For The Rest Of The Game...

As Was Said In The Classic Sheen Movie Major League... "New Haircut, Same Dead Arm..."

That is a long ass title!

The reason freestyle needed to be fixed was objective maps. In the last freestyle update it was deemed a necessary evil that you could still get a double turn by running out of time (Quick note here - we used to have REAL double turn allowed games. You didn't need to run out of time, you could just take a second turn. These were eliminated to make the game more casual and more fair so I don't see them coming back. The hybrid was even worse because not everyone knew about the loop hole). When objective games were added freestyle got really messed up, because double turning could guarantee the win. Previously, a double turn would hurt your opponent but it wasn't very likely that you could eliminate them (especially since you were forgoing a card). With the loophole, all you had to do was capture the objective, run out of time, start turn and win. There was no opportunity for an opponent to break you, despite knowing exactly what time the round would end. Hence, there was outrage across the site because this practice made freestyle very little fun on objective maps and ruined the casual nature of the game.

Actually, I figured this update would hit soon, which is why i joined those games

I wanted to see your face when you lost your double turn option...

[jotheconqueror]

i dont think this update was needed. is it my fault someone is going to mis a turn or that im going to be the first one on AFTER THE NEW ROUND BEGINS?

[the.killing.44]

the reason we wait for the time to run out is so we could attack at the last seconds then start the new turn and finish off our target. and that a BIG part of these types of games!

Suck it up cupcake and get used to it.

but in doodle assassin ppl expect the double turn, i agree with the other dude there should be a option to use double turns or not

YDI for playing assdoodles

You're misunderstanding…

[Ausonius]

This is a good improvement but how about eliminating deferred armies for players who miss rounds? In many cases it turns out to be an advantage for the player who is not responsible or courteous enough to take his turn on time. He makes other players wait and then gets to mass armies because of the deferred ones he receives.

In many cases it turns out to be an advantage for the player who is not responsible or courteous enough to take his turn on time.

But he can't attack with those deferred armies since he receives them at the end of the round. Missing turns is definitely a disadvantage since you miss a card opportunity and you get to attack with fewer men and you cannot defend your bonus regions. Penalizing someone even more for missing a turn would mean that you have to take every turn to win the game - CC operates on the understanding that you might not be able to have computer access every 24 hours for the rest of your lives, and therefore you can miss a turn once in a while without facing too may consequences. I think the current system is quite well balanced, but if you want to discuss it further please read through the appropriate threads in suggestions and bug reports (don't start a new one, plenty already exist on this topic).

This rule only affects those, who wait till the round is up, and dont finish their turn. In this case, even if they are in their turn, the round ending ends their turn, and they cannot go again.

It really only affects those who wait till the last hour of a 24 hour game, and purposely dont finish their turn, in hopes of a back to back turn.

In speed games, its effects are virtually nill, because the round is only 5 min, and all you have to do is stay there to get all deserved bonuses.. it eliminates no real advantage, and it creates no advantage on speed games

[Robinette]

omigod...

do you realize what you've done?
without this there is no extra advantage...
was that even considered?

what's next?
they gonna end up blocking dice hacks, too?

Are you saying that no one will play because of the removal of doubleturns?
