Rocket League

Manach

I am a novice player, being a later adopter. So far enjoying the causal gaming element of it, 10m at the end of the day against Bots is relaxing. Though when I do on occasion play online, I can see the issues raised by other posters.

At least you can play. Still wont launch for me. I've sent tickets on their official support forum. Emailed them. Nothing. I'd have more success trying to teach a brick how to play chess.

I don't normally recommend this but it seems to be how things are accomplished nowadays. Make a fuss on either reddit or their social media page e.g facebook.

Scored this goal yesterday, or well, almost did.

That's what i tell myself everytime I steal someone else's goal.

You guys are the worst.

Anyone want a few games now?

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

Aaaaaand I'm done with this game.

The community is absolute poison. I't puts me in terrible form even after a few minutes of playing.

Community is rotten to the core.

i tend to agree, I am coming up to 200 hours and i think once i hit that number I am removing the game. I dont play anything else because of it at this stage

CraigM84

wow am close to hitting 800hrs and still loving this, fair enough you can get the odd Di**head here and there, or in that unlucky situation where you get put with the same Di**head for several matches in a row, but wouldnt let them influence my addiction to RL :P

After 800 hours I think you've got a decent rank. I'm about 80 hours in and only prospect elite.... I get put with idiots...all the time.

CraigM84

speaking of which, gotta feed the addiction...

if anyones up for am on steam : mad-ma84

RE*AC*TOR

Over 1100 hours (some of which is idling).

The community is a mixed bag, but generally worse in lower ranks.

Daz1989

Lower levels are just full of people being pricks, just mute them. Should be fun if they do an MMR reset again with new season.

Theres a new game mode out today called dropshot:

NoviGlitzko

Looking forward to playing it when I get home after 4. If anyone wants to team up add me (on PS4).

NoviGlitzko

Anyone else taking forever to get into games?

Seen a tweet from them about 30 mins ago saying they are looking into server issues

CraigM84

yeah managed to get 2 matches in the last half hour due to taking forever to connect, found it quite frustrating so quit RL for another day

Turtwig

Dropshot is so much fun, it'd have beeen so much better though if they didn't reset the skill levels. Ball chasers! Ball chasers everywhere! So let me clarify:
Private games of dropshot loads of fun!
Public games, many of them like sucking a lemon, after brushing your teeth and eating an orange, and pretending you're enjoying it.

I have been tempted by this game for a while, but I wonder has the online community died down... is there a boards league?

It's always in the top 10 most played games on steam and has cross play so you can play with and against PS4 and Xbox One players so it's very active. You can pick it up for around €10 which is a steal for the amount of hours you'll get out of it.

NoviGlitzko

I seen over 200k players were online the night dropshot was released. That's incredibly high numbers. I'd say it's definitely in the top 3 most played online multiplayers.

This game really hasnt' clicked with me yet. What do people reckon are the best tips/tricks videos for beginners that might dull the pain / improve up on losing (all the time).

Spending time in training definitely helps. I always tell friends to practice Goalie all-star at the start, it'll help you learn to fly while also learning to protect your goal. Aerial pro also to practice flying. There's plenty of videos online if you need more advanced training tips but the training ingame is very good for improving yourself. You'll always get paired with randoms that just want to ball chase tho

You picked a really difficult time to take it up. Matchmaking levels were reset to some extent and player quality is all over the place. My point being it's going to seem even way more alien to you at the moment compared to if you'd started say 4 weeks ago. Back then you would have be placed with people just starting the game like yourself and on a similar level. Now you could be placed anywhere between someone who can hit the ball from just about anywhere and someone just starting the game for the first time.

Regardless of who you're with just try to have fun. Slow down, don't rush full speed at the ball. Try to guess where the ball is gonna be next and drive there. In time you will learn to hit it. Don't worry about flying until you got the ground prediction down. Stick to jumping and basic dodges. Also, don't feel bad about chasing (ahead) of the ball's trajectory. Positioning, passing, blocking etc. can come later. The fastest way you'll learn is by missing hits and learning what you needed to adjust to hit it.

Just enjoy the game and have fun.

TireeTerror

The game is really taking off, its absolutely massive now and its spectacular to watch in ESL. What a hit!

This is annoying me. I play 3vs3. Will the standard only improve if I keep winning? It's hard because I'm either getting destroyed or destroying someone and anything rarely in between since the reset.

Being paired with genuine rookies and people who 100% can't hit the ball many times leaves me playing 3vs1 most of the match, where if either I set up a set a goal for my team to score they nearly always miss or they can't set up anything for me. Usually when I notice how bad a team is I try and play GK and see if my teammates can fluke a goal.

CraigM84

its usually like this after season change though, myself and a mate were playing the other night and had some nice win streak on, think 8-9 matches in a row before we lost our first

Anima

It's very volatile at the minute. Lot of people still unranked. I've had games where it's against people who've just installed the game, the next is against season x grand master and the ball doesn't even hit the ground...

CraigM84

ive had games were ive played terrible too though at the same time, was just a good night. But i have found quite a few players that have been absolute $hit$ with attitude, be it either other teammate dishing abuse due to losing or the other team dishing it out cause they are 1-0 up and it goes to their heads. Just gotta bear with it for now, should go back to being not so bad once ranks get settled i think... or more so hope :P

Anima

Anyone having trouble with servers lately? Very laggy and ping isn't great for me. You can find the log on pc at <My Documents>\My Games\Rocket League\TAGame\Logs\

The last IP entry would be the last server you were on.

Ping statistics for 45.32.235.204:
Packets: Sent = 19, Received = 18, Lost = 1 (5% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 49ms, Maximum = 106ms, Average = 67ms

Anyone else similar?

what gpu do you have? I'm at 1440 maxed and fps 115-125 in game

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

Anyone interested in some 2v2? I'm not great but I understand when to defend and when to attack. Good and reading the game. Nothing too serious but be good to get some game time with someone who doesn't run after a game or two.
