I hate this game and the fucking toxic idiots playing this. After one goal a forfeit and they start scoring own goals.

Dropped from allstar again to I dont even know what the fuck my rank is just because of fucking idiots.

Man, so close! Lost to a very good Denial team, and then two match wins away from league play before the tough loss in the lower bracket. Congrats on a great run and hope to see you all continue together in the next season. Definitely have established yourselves as a team knocking on the door of the NA top ten. That's incredibly impressive.

You should post here when you do other tournaments as well. Would get people interested in what's out there.

Edit: Just saw that Iris got knocked out in the same round as you guys. Wow!
I usually play 3-4 tournaments a week that get streamed, but we laid an egg today. Can't be too upset, just need to get some consistent.

Played 2's with a friend, other team's player clearly sucked, 2nd guy complained about it so he own goaled with the most ridiculous freestyle goals set up by us, so after the game we invited him and played some 3's. Compliments us, good rotation and he's mechanically super skilled, looked at his stats for solo 3's and he's also stuck in challenger elite lol

solo standard is for lols yes

most don't play it or like it

it's usually the pro either carrying or slightly messing up and 2 teammates flub his loss
idk
it's lame :V
 
Iris taking their loss bad.

Torment:
See you never become I'm irrelevant now
Team didn't want to scrim the whole week before the most important day in any rocket league players career. Don't know what else to say
We didn't even scrim today before our first games. Explains a lot.

Lachinio:
You haven't heard every side of the scrimming issue. I'll probably post a tldr soon. I don't know yet.
Sorry.
Unfortunately, telling us to keep our hesds up won't help. Everything we were working for in the future is now lost because of a bad day.
It'd be best if you guys just let us take a break rather than laying into us. You guys aren't the ones going through this. We are.

Squishy:
Just feels like all the time put in was for nothing, sorry for anyone who I may have let down.
The one day we play the worst we ever have is the day that mattered the most. I don't know what to say.

Was a shock to see them out so soon.

got extra info on the iris loss and

...if they won this scene wouldve been a LOT more professional

jfc
they threw away a ton right there I'm actually annoyed.

context: A huge huge sponsorship. Like, top brand in esports.
What a contract to throw away.

i'm about 73 hours in and starting to tire of it. i play standard 3v3 and it's just so bad. i wouldn't say i'm a great player but would like to think i'm not terrible. so many players can't defend properly, spend time AFK, or straight up quit which also means i'm mostly always getting put into games where the other team is winning by more than few goals. so frustrating.

i tried ranked in the hope that players there were more serious about it but i'm having trouble finding games. it takes so long and the few i've got into it just feels the same. a couple times i've been left alone so it's 3v1.

hey maybe it's just me that takes it way too serious.

generally your teammates mess up yeah, but you can almost always look at a situation and see a way you individually couldve saved that situation with a better touch/decision

Try ranked solo, it's all on you - for better or for worse.

Doubles is also a shout - it's the most popular ranked mode for a reason.

doubles is extremely easy to carry if you outclass your level

just remember the fundamental
NEVER PASS*

*unless it goes to the goal line, to the point where either a challenger 3 OR a gc could lazily shoot it in


Saying this because passing leads to overcommital play from players who aren't accurate enough to get consistent results from them. This is especially true with going for passes that are 100% savable. I remember when I was getting to GC I just kinda sat under the ball to catch it and someone tried flying in, stuffed them, their guys still on the wall from the pass, free walk into their net every time.

So Paschy's new team is called Pocket Aces?
This can't be a coincidence. I hate this guy, either throws his teammates under the bus or throws shade like this.

Note to myself: Never play after I ate a good amount of food. The body is then in full-digestion-mode and there isn't enough energy left for accurate Rocket League play.

Dropshot update, nice.

Full-crossplay is dead. I had high hopes for it to become a thing with Season 4. Thanks Sony.

The end of Competitive Season 3 on March 22nd, yay, forever blues.

gc better be .0X percent or .1% at most, because @ .3% too many people have major flaws and still have GC.

I think top rank should be reserved for really good players idk.

Really put off with the new car being available in crates only. The previous cars in crates were just about acceptable because they had regular or DLC counterparts.

The community should take a stand (they won't) otherwise this will become the standard for future DLC cars.

Being in crates only isn't even a big deal to me, but I don't like the sound of the crate being a limited time only crate. That is just going to make that car so expensive.

Community screwed up when they accepted crate only, pay only RNG bullshit.


Aside, are servers down on PS4?

Edit, not just me, twitter complaints too. Just got a game but now says offline again.

I'm pretty sure the % in GC will go down. Why else add ranks and have 4 champ ranks?

I don't necessarily disagree with you but if you want the car just trade your first few crates for keys and use those to get the car in a week or two.
 
Going to forums or just the internet in general just to access content is a Dev shitting the bed.
Sounds like you're just opposed to the crate system then? I mean, I'm a cheap-ass so I don't love it but I'm glad it exists to fund the game and I'm glad there are ways for me to get some of the content without spending money (trading).

I find it really hard to complain about this sort of thing when the content in question is 100% optional and cosmetic. It doesn't take anything away from the base game you paid money for months or years ago, and in fact it adds value to that purchase by allowing Psyonix to continue supporting the game with free updates.
 
Nah. All the content and updates we are getting is thanks to crates. I'm okay with it.

It was fine with pay DLC.

Look at Overwatch for a better way to do it, can grind out crates or buy them. No "Pray to RNG for a crate, then go to a internet forum and trade for keys, then pray to RNG again for items, oh and do it all quickly after a new crate or they lose all worth".

What RL does is just shit.

I do wish there was some way for me to grind out keys. That would be nice, even if if was something absurd like 1 key per 10 hours.

In your opinion. I enjoy trading and because of it I have made a lot more than the keys I've bought. I never open boxes I sell every crate and use those keys to buy what I want outright. Sure it takes work and some patience but I enjoy it. If you want something as cheap as decals, non painted wheels, and car bodies those can be had easily.

It's not shit you just don't like it. I vastly prefer this to overwatch where you are stuck with what you pull and dupes are worth nothing.
 
I also disagree that it doesn't take away from the game, I enjoy customising my car, now I see other players using stuff I cannot but want to, before items were free or direct pay DLC, now I gotta pay just for a chance to get what I want. I don't gamble real money and trading, well I tried once, about 5 hours wasted and achieved nothing with the BS offers, attempts to bait and switch and just no shows.

I actually play the game less now because I enjoy it less, and it completely down to the game turning into haves and have nots.

play to play the game you love, not to be annoyed about not having items. It was have and have nots before crates were introduced-- the second painted items were out


Variations awesome.

I'm pretty sure the % in GC will go down. Why else add ranks and have 4 champ ranks?
Yeah
Hoping it's something reasonable like a few hundred, pre adjust some playlists had 0 grand champions lol.
Now theres too many and good players basically hard dunk low gc, which means that rank should be the highest.

Crates :D
 
Very interested in knowing the hitbox of this new car. By the way does anyone know the approximate value of painted tunica at this point? I've got a few laying around (crimson/lime/pink/sky blue) and I'm unlikely to use them anymore, kinda wanna sell them if they're going to be worth anything.

I'll admit I'm one of the people less fond of the strategy they've taken. But that said, I've managed to work the market to my advantage pretty well. The easy route is just sell the new hotness crate 1 by 1 as they come in, then start shifting them in bundles as it dies off. I'm generally lazy about it but I just made an extra 4 keys in 5 minutes by making a post and checking it after the match.

Honestly that's the way to do it if you don't want to take part in the trading too much. Just sell those crates and do a direct key purchase for the items you want. IMO once you start doing item/item trades shit gets complex and everyone always wants overpay, and these days overpay is like a free slipstream or some shit. It's pretty out of control if you dive in, so it's easier to just dip the toes with keys and crates. I've been saving for hexed since I'm stingy about selling what I own and within 2 more bundles I should have enough. It's just a bit of a patience game.

This no longer being the case is the problem here. A new car with its own hitbox and characteristics is the exact opposite of purely cosmetic.

It's a shame because Psyonix were initially lauded for the DLC policies.

Reminder hitboxes don't make a big difference in reality and jhzer maimes with a merc :V
Yes they do make a considerable difference as does the weight. I'm 75+ Rocketeer/GC here by the way.

What does someone's main vehicle have to do with anything? Merc Van is pretty good, definitely up there as one of the better ones in the game.

I could get GC in every Playlist with any car. The car isn't such a big deal, and the dlc cars are usually similar to one of the original cars anyway, with an exception for the Batmobile.

weight is the same on every car

hitbox length+height
turning radius
center of mass

that's the only real differences
Haha... no.

You admit they all have mass, which is measured as weight, the centre of which you admit varies... as does the mass itself. Which is why you will find each will have unique yet similar effects when hitting the ball as we get all funky maths with momentum equals mass x velocity and all that.

Psyonix are hardly experts at the finer points of their own game (they didn't create the engine after all), see various examples including statements for ages regarding all cars having the same turning radius when it's commonly accepted that this isn't the case.

I completely agree that a player of suitable skill could reach the highest rank using any car. It's not the biggest barrier by any stretch of the imagination. My point is that these 'items' are not merely cosmetic.

However as you mentioned the Batmobile is quite a different beast to any base car. My concern particularly lies with a similar situation happening down the line, except that instead of being able to just purchase said thing outright, people are forced to gamble, get lucky or trade if they want it.

This especially sucks because Psyonix have had a fairly good way of handling post-launch DLC up to this point.

I don't think you'd ever have to worry about that. All of the import cars have identical hit boxes to the ones that are already available in game or available to purchase via dlc. Psyonix would get a lot of shit from the community if they locked a car with a new hit box within a crate.

.

Center of mass exists. Cars weigh the same. A merc hitting a breakout at the same speed will do the same thing to each other. We did tests on this at launch.

When will Psyonix push for key-trading on Xbox One?
Will there ever be full-crossplay? Psyonix, the ones who tried to unite us, but failed at it.
