This update adds a brand-new way to play Online Adventure, where players compete individually. Available in both Ranked and Unranked modes, this new game mode can be found in the Online Adventure tab, replacing “Anything Goes”.
Yeah all that sounds nice until I read, REPLACING anything goes. What a shame. I liked that room

Freeroam Rush is not bad at all.
I think the biggest problem people really have is the win at all cost mentality. You can always drive the road, you don’t need to go offroad at all. I prefer to go offroad, not to win, don’t really care about that. I do it for fun.
Win, lose or draw, I enjoy the challenge of avoiding trees as much as possible while gaining as much air as possible.
Wallriding is the future of the game, adopt and adapt.
Eventually, the game will devolve into street races surrounded by walls with no other options.
That’s because someone don’t like __________.

Guess this will give me a reason to start the game back up after weeks of playing other stuff…to likely be utterly disappointed and go back to playing other games…

This couldn’t be a better statement, I can’t for the life of me understand how they have managed ruined this amazing franchise.
I’m still eager for a checklist of things showing how they actually calculate ranks, points gained and deducted during the online adventure. Its all random and its unfair. Is it just winning at all costs? Dont worry about skills, clean driving or placing high? Just have YOUR team win 3 of the 5 rounds? Come on now, give us something

The other reason I think people dont like freeroam is because they dont care to learn the map. I know the map very VERY well, so I love that round plus I can get away from all the bad drivers, on my team or the other side. I dont use a drive or brake line, thats probably another reason others dont like it. It can all be about not wanting to drive RWD offroad

Why some peoples dont like freeroam:
-
It’s not fit theme, for example S2 road racing is at least 40% of the time S2 cross country because freeroam rush, some peoples dont like even cross country at all and now current system force cross country stuff all the time. I have nothing against driving in offroad when have car that is build for going offroad but i dont want to take my senna in offroad.
-
map knowledge is biggest part of doing well in freeroam and driving skill is less irrelevant than it is when driving in track.
-
freeroam restrict car choise and tuning choise. I have like 200 S1 road cars on garage but when it’s come online adventure, road racing series i would pick rally cayman, in dirt racing same cayman, street racing in winter and once again same ***** cayman sometimes i could suprise myself and pick rally morgan in road racing series, if i would playing online adventure i would propobly asking myself why i have cars on my garage that dont have dirt tires.
-
It’s dont feel racing. It feel even less racing than ghosted racing in fm7.
-
In fh2 and fh3 system where we drive in next event was great change to keep small break when needed (making more coffee, going wc, going smoking etc) current system only change to drop down controller is loading screans.
-
Shortness of actual racing in track. This could be also be part of point number one. But now each series of racing have either 2 or 3 race on track. So feel really damn short have road racing series were you drive 3 minutes in racing on road when even loading screens taker longer times.
@PurpleAlien420 are you suprised that many people actually get more enjoyment for winning than somethink like avoiding trees?
Not at all,I enjoy winning as well. But it’s not my number one purpose in life. I’ll be happy to accept second place instead of pushing you through a check point to get first.
I’m not so shallow that I can’t accept a loss.
If winning is all that matters, why do you hate wallriders if on some tracks that’s the easiest route to a win?
If you need to win every race,shouldn’tyou be wall riding yourself?
You completely missed my point. And now you understand why this game is going down the toilet.
Wall riding is the key to win at all cost, the perfectly acceptable way to play.

Even tho i love winning and hate losing i hate wallriding as mutch because it’s not something that should be part of any racing game and thats also biggest reason why i have zero intrest to online adventure.
And even tho i hate losing i can still accept that somebody is better than me because i know im not fastest driver.

You also forgot to mention that freeroam rush now counts as an event. That’s also a pain in the buttock 
Freeroamrush points in fh3 also counted
Who says you can’t drive on the road in freeroam?
You may or may not win, but is there any garauntee you will win either way? Sometimes, the road is faster due to trees, but if I got open ground I’m going to take the shortcut.
X-Bow and Mono both do well in open grass.
My Bugatti Chiron handles freeroam with little problems.
And as stated above, it’s an escape from the psychos unless you got one bound and determined to chase you all over the map, then that becomes pure entertainment.
Is the one tab being replaced because replacing it is a technical necessity? Or is that mode just getting retired? I hope that adding anything new in the future doesn’t require removing something and freeing up a tile.

First of all not 15 january of 2018 but 2019!
Free roam rush shoudn’t be in a ranked advantures as it has not anything in common with skill it’s luck and sometimes fun but not a skill. People who want a challenge should have an opportunity to compete and now we don’t have such opportunity - we have 3 races for skill and 2 for luck. We should have a choice like with race or playround or race WITH playground. I mean there should be an option to choose only races only freeroam races (anybody wants that at all???) and races AND freeroam rush (the one we have for now).
And other main reason I don’t play multiplayer for now it’s a lack of possibility to choose a class. If I want to race in C class I have no option. I hate S2. But majority of races now is S2 and I have no option to choose. And after race in A class I have to disconnect and search again for new advanture and it takes a lot of time and I can’t be shure that new advanture won’t be an S2. Why there is no D class or C or B in advantures? What’s the point in having all those cars in game at all if I prefer to drive stock cars?
I had four complaints about MP of FH4 teams, classes, freeroam rush and ramming/wallriding thing. Ok teams - done. 1 of 4 completed. Waiting for other 3 to be done.
It’s definitely a skill. I took two of the playlists I’d played online and created blueprints for the freeroam rushes, then drove them over and over again till I’d worked out the best route. In one case, the eventual best route would have won the rush in the team adventure by over 20 seconds. Having worked out the best route, it was no problem to drive it within a few seconds of the same time each time. This was the reason for my thread asking how many playlists there are, to assess how viable it is to do this for every single freeroam rush route that comes up in team adventure. If someone has the time to prepare so thoroughly then I don’t see that there is any luck about it, it’s no different to taking the time to work out the absolute best car and tune to choose for each possible playlist taking into account the specific courses and weather conditions.

After all the feedbacks about free roam,class, etc, if the only improvement of FFAA is team removed, woaw, I would say to support guys better get prepared for rage against the machine. … By the way D, C, B class are not in team adventure, my way ti see it, just because of free roam that is unplayable with low classes. Adding legacy FH3 where DCB were used only by fans.
Concerning they removed some feature. I guess it costs more in support than it attracts players. Possibly same than B/C/D classes thing
I read in the thread someone enjoying free roam because of learning the map etc, ok. Myself I played a while online and you get to know the good and bad shortcuts but this is not the annoying point. The annoying point is that free roam is cross country which means cross country cars. I have no pb with free roam on a cross country cs but I am not interested cross country in sport cars. Tens of solutions to handle this and please everyone were shared on the forum, they’d better have picked one …
Not true. On almost all of the free roam routes, you can stay on the road for nearly all of it. From what I’ve seen, all of the people who are actually fast run race tires and suspension when it’s appropriate - and have no problem winning free roams. Most others simply can’t keep their Sennas on the road…
I absolutely run cars with race tires and suspension for road and street sets. Otherwise you’re giving up at least a second a lap.
Not true, if you stay on the road 100% of the way you are most likely going to loose this kind of event. For instance, reaching the rendezvous point behind the hill without going through the train tunnel , any cross country will always arrive first compared to staying strictly on the asphalt. So sure you can make part of the way on road and being faster but eventually one way or another you will leave the roads.
