This change sounds perfect and was well needed and all the bs reasons being given against it are just that bs, don't change a thing. I can't believe my campaign worked honestly and I gave up and went to play sequential, I am so happy that I can play freestyle again without the fear of cheaters.
And I love reading the messages from the cheaters complaining they got screwed because they couldn't cheat their opponent out of the game, laugh every time.

Perhaps you could post a reasoned explanation of how I was cheating. If I was, then I apologize for making such a fuss and I will refrain from playing Freestyle games.

This Is Exactly What The Idiots Don't Understand qwertylpc... Much Greater Advantage By Not Allowing The Double Turns...

But Don't Try To Argue It Because They Truly Do Not Understand What You're Talking About...

They Just Can't Make The Brain Waves Function In A Manner That They Understand Why Changing It Was A Stupid Idea...

Don't Argue With Fools I Once Read...

If the point of freestyle is to not have to wait sequentially for a turn...
then Can someone explain to me the point of 1v1 freestyle?

I mean... 1v1 means you're guaranteed not to wait more than 24 hrs, right?

I guess my question is... how does 1v1 freestyle differ from 1v1 seq?

More likely in speed. Only 2;30 and fast start, still. In a non speed it can cost you 12 hours and can make it a sequintical because you cant double turn it. It is still the same. But no double turn. Double turn is a cheap tactic wich people need to use to win. If you need it you suck at this and should start playing something else.

correction koganosi, double turn actually makes the game more strategical, speed comes more into the game, and you have to plan moves in case of someone double turning you. I feel this was a stupid update, that was probably primarily made up from the sequential players??

you notice that 90% of the people that like the new freestyle system are people that did not pay 25 bucks...

And the running comment was "watch how the high ranks go down"... i dont see any of the good freestyle players losing too much rank because of your new system...

They're only pissed off now because it takes much more awareness to avoid delay tactics...

If You Sucked At The Old Freestyle, You Suck At This System Too...

also along with krapht to prove it is a useless feature, my Map Rank for freestyle has stayed around the same mark, however im starting to peak a litle more now due to actually remembering how to play the basics of risk. lmao

Freestyle made even worse

Post by Teflon Kris »

Deliberately missing a turn to get a turn + deferred troops + going first is rediculous.

A ploy that is probably worse than the double-turn scenario this change was supposed to fix.

Now we have a 36-hour really slow and infinitely annoying double-turn scenario!

A massive advantage for missing a turn.

Let's have sully's suggestion (nobody is blocked after a miss).

C'mon, must be an easy change?

As far as I'm aware if you miss your deployment turn then you do not receive deffered troops. Merely three's on all your territories.

alright... im in a quads game, team 1 are going to miss their turn, we have already taken ours as a team.they then get 12 hours more to take their next go, get to go first instead of us as we were quick. and then get the men to deploy at the end too...

freestyle improved.... Bollocks!!!!

Agreed with above comments, missing a turn resulting in getting to start the next round is ridiculous.

Yep same thing just happened to me. That doesn't make any sense at all...it's a reward for missing your turn.

Re: Freestyle - Old Problem Swapped for New One

Post by Teflon Kris »

The double-turn loophole has been swapped for the missed-turn-but-still-get-a-turn-and extra-deploy loophole?

How mVny years before this new loophole is fixed we can finally stop the cheats?
