Can we post before it hits 20K? I was gonna make a thread for the update once it's released. Probably should anyway cause OT2 is relegated to community.
:O

With season 2 ending later today; my stats on Xbox One:
May the Boost be with you in Season 3!

Mine on PC. I haven't had much time to play lately, wish I was good enough to get to Champ for the purple boost.
nope.
the wasteland hate is really getting irritating. if you're actually good at RL you shouldn't have any problems with wasteland.
No, as long as a primary account member has Plus, you can play online with any account on it.

I don't have any problem with playing it, I just don't like it. I loved Neo Tokyo in Rocket Labs but I don't think it should be in ranked either.
Ah well, probably time to move on from the game entirely. It's getting to not be for me.

Wasteland is my favourite map lol
No rule about posting before hitting the 20k mark. Biggest content update so far and a new competitive season is something to celebrate.

Oh I see, even on your own, without the PS Plus user? That's crazy.
Just got the game a month ago and minus an overwatch break, I've been playing it pretty often. Any resources for getting better that you guys can point me to would be appreciated. I get the occasional air hit and have a high percentage of getting back on defense and covering goal, but that's about the extent of my skills. I do try to play back and fill the role the team needs, though.
Also, I've never played ranked...is it much different? I feel like I should be more advanced before trying that or have a set group to play with...

Feel free to add me if my skill level doesn't seem too low.

not a great player myself,but from what i've seen it's important to
-use the training to get the physics right,both of the ball and of your car..the latter will help for obvious reason,while the former will help you understand where the ball is going to land/rebound,which is a big advantage bacause...
-position is crucial,either for defending,attacking or whatever inbetween,knowing where to be at any given moment is crucial since at least at low levels,70% of the goals are made because of some mistake in positioning,especially learn when to attack the ball and when it's better to retreat because the opponent has too much of an advantage on the ball.
You probably already know ,but if you are playing on a team,avoid staying right behind the teammate who has the ball..it's tempting because you can pick up from where he left if he has problem advancing,but it also means that a single touch can take out both you and your teammate and lead to a very easy counterattack from the opponents.
-also,as a personal favor,please don't leave the goal during a kickoff to get the booster on the corner,it's not worth at all,especially since you have a booster directly in front of you as you start,and if your opponent scores,the booster is useless
the rest it's really just lot of practice and training,but as long as you try to play with your teammates and play by the book,you are going to get far enough in this game,as long as your teammates do the same..sadly there isn't really much you can do with bad teammates that just want to touch the ball without rhyme or reason

2 hours.

Oh. In like two hours I think. I have 60 dupes!
I mean, the game supports one additional platform (Xbox One) + the OT never got an update since like 1000BC.
Edit:
The map isn't only reskinned. They said in a stream that they adjusted the sides for some reason(can't remember).

We should see a slight improvement w/opposing team parties as they can only smurf within 3 divisions. And there might be a small carryover effect from this in terms of crap players not getting boosted to ranks they shouldn't be in (and ending up being our teammates).
But it's still ELO and only based on wins/losses with no idea of actual skill of a player. People will still smurf once they hit their skill ceiling. People will still use boost sites / have better friends play on their accounts to boost to artificial ranks. Ranks will still stagnate as I don't think they are making any changes to top tiers to encourage those players to keep playing ranked. So I'm not holding my breath.
But on the bright side the Rocket Labs map I hate has been skinned and added to ranked play =D
How dare you. The work we put into Neo Tokyo is pretty massive!

I'm sure you worked butts off and the map will look sick. Just not a fan of the map. And this is from a pro-Wasteland guy.
Around midnight here in germany :/ I'll play it tomorrow.
We are gonna x4 amount of chances wasteland gets played now.
Actually only wasteland and neo tokyo in ranked.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Managed to get up a division before the season ends.
I like it. Once you get used to it, it becomes just like any other map - just with slightly different geometry, but that adds a nice change to the usual games. I was against it being added to ranked before but now I don't mind it.
Neo Tokyo should be ranked too, it looks too cool be to wasted in unranked/labs/whatever.
EDIT: Oh it is? Cool, cool cool cool.
i just played unranked 3s with a semi pro and a veteran against another vet and 2 untitlerd players. utter garbage haha.

Pretty big update size wise for RL. I've convinced myself I'm going to love these new colored parts but I know in reality toppers and stuff just distract me. Looking forward to seeing what variations I can get in the wheels though for sure.

Just wanna say i fought real hard to put that junk food skin in. So you better equip it. Flex..was surprisingly universal for everyone liking it.
You have my thanks, I don't even use Breakout but it did come in handy to trade bunch of them in and get a lightning boost trail!! Seriously though I had no idea you guys were putting in extra decals and trails. I thought it was just recolored versions of the items already in.
Amazing update! I'm loving trading in all my old dupes right now and just seeing this new rares rolling in.

As expected ranked is a total shit show =D
I have a weird issue with the game interacting either with Steam Controller or Steam Big Picture (as it activates when launching a game with the controller plugged in). When playing, if I want to write something in the chat, when pressing any of the keys to activate it (T or Y) it opens the controller writing method instead letting me using the keyboard as always.
This wasn't happening before the patch. Anyone else playing with a Steam Controller and this problem?
EDIT: This also happens when I want to give a name to a savegame.

dave is ok
aztek is ok
Same here. I hate it
Lol flex is amazing and so is the junk food one. I'm enjoying these new skins!Just wanna say i fought real hard to put that junk food skin in. So you better equip it. Flex..was surprisingly universal for everyone liking it.
The skins? They only work for certain cars so you have to switch around.

Took breaks every 2 games and somehow managed to go 8-2 in placement games in Solo 3's. Ranked is HORRIFYING. You have even less idea then you usually do what you are going to get, but overall it's kind of fun as both teams are under the same handicap. Really good players seem scarce so far. Maybe they already climbed higher or maybe they are holding off until things settle a little? Or maybe they just don't play solo 3's as they know playing with randoms is a bad idea
First game was of course on fucking NEO TOKYO and it was as big a train wreck as it was in Rocket Labs. But we won I like it a little bit more than in RL. It looks amazing. I love the visual effect (circle) when the ball hits the walls. Would like to see it on all maps. It feels smaller, which I don't like. I think the ramps are wider (like this) and middle narrower? Ramp transitions are smoother but visually they are harder to see with the skin they used. Or this could all be in my head. All that said it doesn't belong in ranked. It's just too damn different from everything else. The transition is jarring.
Surprisingly love the item trading system although I got a lot of duplicates and at one point 6 of the same Octane decals in a row. Some awesome boost trails which is great as the reward boosts were kind of disappointing.
Overall another nice update which likely has a lot of things not even mentioned in release notes (turtle goals are tracked and some maps look different for starters). Time will tell if changes to ranked play make any difference.

I burned through so many dupes, got those lightning and ice trails. Right now I'm not in love with Neo Tokyo but I also bitched a lot about Wasteland and now it's just another map, so I guess I will end up tolerating it the way one tolerates a friend with an annoying habit, like poking your anus.
