OFFICIAL Rocket League (Discussion)

[blu3flannel]

Is there a way to see other's inventory like you would a Steam inventory for instance? I have a lot of shit I don't use or want and duplicates that I either randomly trade up or just giveaway.


Just opened a player's choice crate and got a set of Vitronic or some shit cool wheels.

Unfortunately the inventory system is run in-game so you can't really see others' inventories. But if you wanna do some trading you can check out /r/RocketLeagueExchange or https://www.rocket-league.com/trading. Fair warning: you meet some weird characters trading.

Season 3 ends in 1 hour. Then a half hour of downtime, then season 4 starts!

*Oops, two more hours.

Finally, maybe I can start enjoying the game instead of being matched with garbage in solo standard lol. Rising Star to Challenger Div 2 because of bad game after bad game...

COMPETITIVE

  • Season 3 Grand Champion Title
• Season 4 brings a new set of Skill Rankings to provide more clear divisions between skill levels

  • The new Grand Champion rank will be harder to attain than in Season 3
    
  • There are now only four divisions per skill tier (e.g. Gold II, Division IV) due to each tier covering a smaller range of skills

  • This ranking will be lower than where you finished Season 3 and you will have to climb back to the highest rank you can reach
    
  • We are not doing a full reset like Season 3 due to the lengthy period of matchmaking disturbance it created. This “soft reset” means players start separated by skill to keep things balanced but can still climb back to top ranks

New game mode is fun.

 

[Easy Rhino]

Not sure I like dropshot. I feel like I am on a trampoline just bouncing the ball around. Good air practice though.

 

[erocker]

Getting quite a bit of lag currently.

 

[Guitar]

I feel like it is a game mode that heavily relies on good mechanical skills for it to be a 'good game'...so average players/bad players like the two friends I played with tonight who have less than 20 hours had fun fucking around but were useless mostly. You kind of have to aerial and hit it hard into the ground, relies on good aerials and positioning.

Yeah I dont like it at all. You ought to play with erocker and I more often. Fun last time you did.

Drop shot is okay. Snow Day is still my favourite mutator. I have 700+ hours of Snow Day experience on one of my accounts

off topic

a Rocket League inspired game that is FREE to PS Plus members this month

it's also on Steam

http://store.steampowered.com/app/415880/

 

[Guitar]

The season reset absolutely ruins this game. I like the idea, but do some seeding based on old ranks or something. Holy fuck is it painful to play competitive right now. So much so that I might just stick to dropshot.

 

[Guitar]

@BumbleBee Thanks for the recommendation. DL'ed that game on PSN and it is pretty fun but nobody plays. Only got one match waiting for 20 mins or so and apparently on Steam it is the same...sucks.

[WhiteNoise]

This game is hugely popular and I only say that because I always hear about it and see friends playing all the time and for a long time. I have never watched a video of this or even looked at a screen shot until today and I just don't get it. Cars driving and flying around and a ball or something? Oh kinda like soccer. Must be good.

 

[Guitar]

This rank reset is killing the game for me. I got placed at silver in doubles/solo standard, and holy fuck is it bad. I am gold 3/4 in competitive, got placed in gold, and the average skill level of the teammates is just so wildly different. I just don't understand. I'll have one bad teammate every couple of games, but it is nearly 90% of the time in any other mode.

I want that new Dodge tho.

it's soccer with RC cars but the ball handles like you are on the moon. it's more like pinball than anything.

Okay, the RL april fools update is pretty good and low key.

Who's up for a TPU tournament with a prize pool or something? Everyone puts in £1/$1 and the winner takes all?
Could be pretty exciting Don't know how the jackpot would work online though...
