Freestyle improved

[sully800]

might as well get rid of casual freestyle all together

2 player casual freestyle perhaps, but that is a very specific game type. All the other set ups of casual freestyle will work quite well now.

not even, Id guess the majority didnt even use the double turn, so its only those that needed it and relied on it that will miss it.

Further, it still makes for a fun game... it just doesnt have the same loophole as before

[alex951]

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

i like playing doodle assassin speed, i find them fun thats why i made Killing WIth A Crayon, for all players that also like doodle assassin, and the turn block messes with the play, everyone that plays doodle assassin speed expect the doodle turn and uses it

i wouldnt call it an improvement

Okay I came across a weird situation so I figured I would just report it to see if it was intended to be like that.
This is what happened:
speed freestyle 6 man game.
player A, B, C, and D ended before player E, so E was the last to end.
however, player F missed his turn.
next round, the player who was blocked was player E, and player F wasn't.

apparently missing a turn is not considered as ending a turn, like running out of time is now.

hmmm, that's interesting. Missing a turn doesn't get you blocked because by definition you cannot take a double turn (you didn't take the first one). And yet intuitively I was thinking the person who missed should have been blocked, even though there is no reason for it. I think lack got it right with the way it is currently coded because this prevented Player E from getting the double turn, even though that person may have intended to play second to last instead of last.

Player E wouldn't have gotten a true double turn, because he had to wait for player F to miss his turn. I think i n that case, there should not have been a block.

I think that it was a double turn. Player E, even though there was time between when he ended his turn and when the round ended, would have had a double turn because he was the last to actually play. Player F wouldn't have another double turn since he didn't take the initial first turn. (I don't play freestyle much, so I may be wrong. It's just my opinion)

question playing a 4 player game freestyle
i take my turn 3rd in the round so there is one guy left to play
yet he misses his turn...
but im blocked from taking my turn now..
this doesnt seem right, that im blocked but the guy who missed his turn isnt

That's what we're talking about above. Taking your turn 3rd then having the 4th player miss isn't a double turn, just like if you are the last person then someone waits 12 hours and you go again that's not a double turn. Double turn meant that you ran out of time so that you could go again right away. If you are not the last person to go and the last person misses his turn, you should not be punished for that, as it's not a double turn (you can't take your next turn right away).

lol i should read the thread...
i have to agree with it then
i am a massive fan of getting rid of the strategic double turn...i dont think we should be punished for players missing turns though...esp when i forted in a way to hold my bonus and go as soon as the clock went over...

Auto-typers are now much more valuable.

[kennys777]

personally I don't like it. I just joined a speed game, didn't see the update, and got screwed on the win! hell with freestyle.

[alex951]

"freestyle" speed games are basically casual game now. so i dont see the point in buying premium again?

Are you referring to 2 player freestyle speed exclusively? I only ask because I fail to see how this would have impacted multiplayer games in such a drastic fashion, because in multiplayer games people will still be playing simultaneously and the turn order will constantly be changing.

lol, the last 3 posts show a range of responses to the same comment...
1) politely helping you to understand
2) confused but actually tounge-in-cheek
3) laughing

Lucky for you, no evil posts... yet

[alex951]

i'm just pissed that i had to find out about the double turn during a doodle assassin speed game. and i occasionally play 1v1 speed games, and no i dont like posting evil comments, i just want a option or something you know?

[the.killing.44]

I've played a dozen 6-8man freestyle and 3 1v1s (all speed), and none of them resembled seq in any way.

It's really not that hard to end at :02; chances are nothing's going to happen past and even if it did, you wouldn't be able to counter-act it…

What's so bad about not having the double turn in a speed game? Don't people start their turn as soon as the round begins, anyway? Even if they don't, the max you would have to wait is 2 1/2 minutes. Big deal.

Indeed! Conquerclub should start selling metal blocks to put on your 'b' button
maybe with the CC logo on it... would be awesome!

[Rakio]

What happens if several players are in mid-turn and dont end it?

easy for you to say, you dont have premium, yes i might just lose 1sec, but thats all it takes to win. i have won games because someones computer lagged by a lilttle.

i was wondering if it would be hard to add a option when making a game?

[Rakio]

I was hoping that a web browser game wouldnt require a powerful PC to be able to fully play and take advantage of features.
Winning due other people having slower PCs doesnt seem too suit with the casualness, even in a speed game.

But yeah, an option wouldnt be bad for those who can be fast.

Edit:

Heck, I even wish CC had more advanced options. An entire advanced option section.
