Info.

Thanks. I'm mostly just looking to convert some unused crates into keys.

There seems to be a massive difference in valuation between the sites? CrateTrader says crate 2 is the most valuable and worth 3 keys per crate whereas RLTracker says it takes two of them to equal 1 key.

I think the CT values shown are just the average of the current offers which is basically meaningless.

the banner on CT is meaningless - I've seen it have the CC2 crates at 5 keys a piece xD

Once again the EU servers are a fucking mess.

First, takes ages to get a game because of "server did not respond" or the game couldn't find 4 players. Then when a game is underway it lags constantly. Write to chat "terrible lag" and others comply.

I really need to find a new game to play, fuck this shit.

The game looks like poop on my Surface Pro:

It is playable at ~60fps.

 

[BigAT]

Wow, had no idea they were doing an SNES port. The Mode7 graphics are pretty baller.

This wouldn't look half bad on a cell phone screen.

I wish that I could play it like this:

 

[bjaelke]

Maybe if we get a Switch port.

 

[Hasney]

Hurrrrrr

I'm getting pangs to play tonight. Had so many new games, I haven't been on in a couple of months. Might try the ULMB mode of my monitor.

 

[CountAntonius]

I wish that I could play it like this:

Quake style competitive gaming. Strip those textures!

 

[Grinchy]

This is the only non-VR game I've been able to play lately but I can't help but wish they'd do a PSVR upgrade to it. Not in that driver seat cockpit style, that would obviously never work. Just as is, 3rd person, can look around with your head the way you already can with the right stick. It would look so amazing.

Yup. I pretty much only play casual now unless a friend is on. They say bad teammates even out of if you play enough but the math doesn't support this -- there are WAY more shitty players than good ones. At least 10 for every competent one. 10% chance. That's a sucker's bet every time.

I have only really been playing recently in the morning after coming home from nightshift, I actually thought it was my Internet that was the problem.

Is this quite widespread? It has been driving me nuts, the amount of times I have hit the ball, next thing I know I am teleported across the park.

On what platform are you?

 

[Carm]

Do we know the exact time Halloween items stop dropping?

 

[Unicorn]

I wish that I could play it like this:

There was a site that listed what to do to set your game up like that. I thought about it for my Surface Pro 2, but since moving I don't have to worry about it anymore since I have my shit set up now. I played at least 150 hours on my SP2 at 40ish fps. Wasteland launch was a sad day for my fps.

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

Finally making some progress on Standard. I've been able to play with 3 other guys (rotating two of them, depending on who's on at the given time) to go on absolute tears. Feels good man. The synergy is beautiful. Now to push that up...

As a result, I was able to play some grand champions and a PAX winner. We beat the GCs (2x), but the Pax guy had a good team and edged us out 3-2. Oh well. We're learning to mesh with one another's playstyle, so it's given me a new nuance to engage me as I play.

Nice. I would only play doubles but I started playing the other modes just to try and get them to challenger elite.

I switched over to pc for now and I'm still amazed at how much better I do on there than on ps4.

 

[CountAntonius]

I think my love for heatwave has subsided. Going back to my beloved flat paint with black secondary. Bought some crimson photons for my Octane. Now to decide on standard(light blue), Cobalt or purple for the blue side...

 

[TheKeyPit]

I played 5 placement matches for Standard on steam and I've already experienced the typical bs in this game: bad teammates everywhere.

Welcome to PC!

 

[dsk1210]

Welcome to PC!

I would not say that is exclusive to PC.

Edit.

I should expand, a lot of the time that I have experienced bad teammates is when I have had the psy logo, that's not to say I haven't had total assholes on PC either, They can be more verbal.

I've also experienced the negatives of playing on pc during one of those matches: being able to chat easily with the keyboard. One guy wrote how stupid me and the other guy were, calling us "idiots", followed by me making 3 or 4 goals and shutting him up for good.

you can mute the chat out, it's what I do on days where every other person is toxic.

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

There should be an option to mute everything except I got it and take the shot. You need those for kickoffs.

Rocket league disappeared from my game list and i had to download again. It also seems like the icon has changed, what is this?

Connection problems like this with the server happened three times so far in the last days: http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/TheKeyPit/video/23187692

When I started playing on PC yesterday, the game showed "No servers online" with 10k people in the playlists. Two minutes later it was over 100k and everything worked again.

That's the fun of it. I never care about people writing nasty comments ( I report them ), but sometimes it gives me great pleasure to make a few goals afterwards and get the MVP to shut them up.

Went for a new look. Sold my heatwave and hoarding keys again. Hope the Export Octane comes soon. Love this look.

How many keys for heatwave?

I'm actually tempted to buy keys because I have 15 crates stocked up now haha. Haven't done trading in weeks so I have no idea about value now.

Sold it for 31. On PC it goes from 29-32. High and low is if you get lucky. It has stayed really stable compared to everything else. Probably won't drop much until another one get's released that people like more.

 

[TheKeyPit]

DAMN PSYONIX! FIX YOUR GAME! http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/TheKeyPit/video/23193714

Server goes nuts for every teammate, kicks us out of the game and gives us a matchmaking ban and probably lowered our Rating too. WHAT THE HELL!!?!!

 

[Optimus Prime]

Photons! Love 'em. Underrated and mostly unloved. I got cobalt, forest green, pink, and purple. Trying to get crimson now. The darker colors look particularly good with photons, especially on nighttime maps.

I had bought some purple ones. They looked great. But didn't match any of the paint jobs.

Does everyone know the real pain of competitive play? You rise up to Div 4 or 5 and think "Damn, one or two more matches and I could rank up". Instead you lose the next match and think "This was an exception, I'll win the next one and be back on track". This leads to more lost games and dropping more than one division in the process. That's the real pain; getting baited to play more and be left to suffer through this every time.

It's a paired with a system that's actively trying to make you lose after you win in order to keep that 50% win/loss. So many times I'll play well and get mvp only to be thrown into a match where I swear the players are trying to sabotage every play.

I once did this for two hours straight in Splatoon. Fell, regained, fell again, almost fell AGAIN, then regained where I finally stopped.

I'm never allowing myself to go to a Casino. :lol.

They often are. Well, not intentionally, but part of the problem is to pit you against a team with a higher mmr the system will often pair you with lesser teammates to bring your total team mmr DOWN instead of pairing you with equal skilled teammates vs a team with a higher mmr. Both options make games harder but dealing with lesser skilled teammates is (for me at least) way harder than having same skilled teammates vs slightly better competition. It's infuriating because you expect better teammates after each ranking up but a lot of times it's the opposite as the system handicaps you instead of finding you higher skilled opponents.

That's why I'll start asking here now: Who wants to build a decent team on PC that will aim for Champion ranks in Standard? I'd find it okay if we were able to get a couple of matches going from time to time.
