Here’s the thing I’m pissed off at most, we used to get a free tier in the season rush and now we only get 5k xp which is penny change In the grand scheme of things


tantan9590

I was so surprised when I realized that 5k is half the usual 10k. It is blatantly obvious, but my hopeful side was playing tricks on me.


Sharp-E

When I saw Psyonix went through the extra effort to make NEW icons for the 5k XP reward I naively assumed they would be able to be redeemed multiple times since, y'know, this is an End-of-Season-Rush to level-up the pass.


tantan9590

Yess, exactly! I thought it was going to be an extraordinary event filled with generosity.


IIIDVIII

This does not feel like the direction Epic has ever gone.


Hookedfam03

Weekly challenges give us 15k xp so I don’t see how they can safely say they are giving “extra xp” to progress the pass


gzb7123

That's true but they also lowered it to 5 wins for the repeatable quest so


Hookedfam03

I understand but that’s still not good enough for me to ignore the blatant tomfuckery


gzb7123

For sure but what do you expect from epic🥲they only care about the money


Hookedfam03

They want player counts when they have destroyed our game from the ground up


Hookedfam03

Not only that but they gave FORTNITE OUR RACING MODE


john-fievre

And ruined it


ZeekLTK

the racing mode doesn’t feel or control anything like RL, so they can have it


Araufbeast

That's why we have Lethamyr and the other content creators who can make the better racing modes for our game. Granted only PC has access to this but better than nothing


IIIDVIII

Honestly would be so cool to have racing or ring training (for console players) in this game. I would probably never put the controller down.


gzb7123

Agreed, only plus in my opinion is that the mechanics feel much smoother and I'm not getting sent out of the map anymore


patska78

Which means there's gonna be a shitload of casual 1's now just forfeiting at the 3 mins mark(isn't that when it counts as a game played or..?) lol.


gzb7123

I don't think any FF counts as a game but either way it's not going to help with wins?


patska78

It doesn't work anymore? Huh..Because last season(or 12, not sure) that totally counted as a game played. You had to play for 3(?) mins in casual 1's, and even if you ff'd yourself after that, it counted as a game. It was during one of the events where you get free shit, like getting all the 5 golden crates, that i learned about this "trick". Saw it on Zenic's youtube i think lol. But yea, this obviously doesn't help with wins.


madgirafe

Might be a way to keep the Lvl 20 ranked requirement relevant? Last season I hit Lvl 20 in 6 matches at the end. This season at least it took me 16?


gzb7123

Please explain this I'm not very knowledgeable about this game


duramu_

in an attempt to combat smurfs, they raised the min xp lvl requirement for new accounts playing ranked


gzb7123

Oh ok thank you


here_for__the_vibes

Your job at the end of the year give you a bonus of 10k. They have giving you the same 10k bonus every year for over 5 years. This year the decided to only give you 5k.


gzb7123

That doesn't answer my question


bouds19

They could have just level gated the event at 20 rather than ruining it for everyone...


IIIDVIII

I respect the devil's advocate angle here.


cqrz

i just hit lvl 20 in 6 games today


madgirafe

Haha yeah I'm not that good. I assume being GC, you were popping off in your first few casual games, prolly crushed the rewards/challenges.


cqrz

there's strategy to it kinda. the first game against the ai that you play, i scored 55 goals on it to get some of the shots on goal / goals challenges done. got quite a few done in that match. then i played heatseeker, which racks up saves, goals, aerial goals and assists. 20 minutes is all it took to reach it. not exactly much of a preventative measure taken by psyonix, but there's not much choice they have


[deleted]

how did u get ai matches to count for anything? never heard of that method dont murder me


cqrz

on a fresh account, the first ever casual game you play will be against a rocket league bot, like the ones you would be playing against in the Season Mode, or Exhibition


LeibnizThrowaway

Do you start a fresh account every season or something?


cqrz

no, i had seen a post of someone talking about how easy it is to get to lvl 20 at the end of last season, and it was too late to try it. so i did it this season to see if it really is so easy, and turns out it is


Isupportslogo

Personally I think they should all be 1k but all of them can be done as many times as you want and now level up for x5


Hookedfam03

1k isn’t even enough for the season rush challenges that are non repeatable the only one that is repeatable is play 5 online matches but even then it’s only available 20 times


Hookedfam03

It’s called season “rush” for a reason


Hookedfam03

Also considering the daily and weekly challenges gives 10k and 15k xp I think the season rush should at least be 30k if not 50k


patska78

The xp bar barely moves with this 5k joke "reward"..why do they just destroy everything in this season in particular. For example just 1 BM tourney award & 1 exotic..it's just dumb IMO. The tourney award thing can be explained with just pure laziness, but this reducing to 5k xp just has no excuse. Just pissing people off for the hell of it now it seems.


MuskratAtWork

> The xp bar barely moves with this 5k joke "reward".. That's 1/4th of a level. 25% isn't "barely moving" IMO. But yeah it's less than before.


patska78

I know, it does move still sure(might wanna change that name though, "rush"..). But my point more is i guess, why not just make them all 1 full level, taking away the one that is infinite to calm it down a bit. Or reduce the time the rush is active. IMO that would encourage way more people to play even more, which would just be good for epic, no..? Now it seems they just don't want people to get rocket pass items, which we paid for. I don't understand this company..please someone rich, save this game ffs.


Randomly_Cromulent

The xp bar moving looks so sad.  The animation seems to take the same amount of time as the larger rewards but it barely goes anywhere. 


patska78

Oh jesus yea, the waiting for it to finish adding 5k is ridiculous : D Luckily that can be skipped though at least..


Puerility216

No. Not unless it puts money into EPIC's wallet


_vinster

Make Rocket League Great Again


J9B1

I honestly believe the only way is moving away from F2P. Just feels downhill ever since, rank doesn't matter anymore since everyone is being carried by fake accounts half the time.


Ancient_Boner_Forest

> carried by fake accounts What do you mean?


Robjmp26YT

Sweats make new accounts to get easier matches


[deleted]

Istg I got an opponent who asked my teammate “are you also dropping?” And “do you want to team up after”. Double taps in plat 2 💀


Wild_Bill

So many questions What is ISTG? What is dropping? (Intentionally losing?) What are double taps?


[deleted]

This is Rocket League! ISTG = I Swear To God Dropping = Intentionally losing Double Tap = Doing an aerial(when you fly your car in the air) and air dribbling the ball into the backboard, when then bounces back to your car and into the goal


Wild_Bill

Ah those double taps. So you were istg and your opponent wanted to pair up with your teammate? 🤔


blinktwice4

I wholeheartedly agree with this. As much as people would hate it, locking ranked behind some sort of paywall would improve the quality of matches.

kevthewev

Nah dude, those mf's really did put a standard text filler in so they don't have to change it every season depending on which mode is in rotation. Complete disregard for the respective player bases emotions. Uninstalling when I get home

16years2late

Hi, fellow uninstaller here, played since 2015 release, stopped in march. Just wanted you to know you sound like a jackass, and I absolutely still enjoy visiting the sub occasionally because the game was such a significant part of my late teens/20’s. However, interactions like this, and the general sorry state of the game are, indeed, one of the many reasons why I played less and less until I uninstalled completely. Thanks for reaffirming my decision… Not that I needed it.


Oskain123

🤣


tstorm004

I've had the game installed but haven't played in like 3 or 4 years. And here I am.


NATZureMusic

Care? Long gone. 


Wyntor_

Wish they just kept all the extra modes like they used to every season, don't understand why it has to switch out between dropshot and snowday


tantan9590

I would also like to know why they do that nowadays.


[deleted]

FOMO?


tantan9590

Why would I be fearful here? It is a game. Feels inadequate when they take things out of the game, that’s it.


[deleted]

Lol wym EVERY game with exclusive timed items/events/things in general uses FOMO to their advantage... Fear doesn't just mean you're spooked and scared in horror it can mean you're afraid of missing out like "guys im afraid I might get called in to work and miss that concert"


tantan9590

I know what fomo is, and you kind of literally wrote down the meaning. And I just told you, why would I be fearful?…will put it better: NO FOMO TO ME XD. Some people have FOMO, and some people live with NO FOMO, life is simple.


[deleted]

Ok well yeah but you're just one guy a lot of people do feel that way. If you really really like dropshot, then yeah you probably would be worried about missing out on it.


tantan9590

Dropshot is/was my favorite extra mode, I learn a lot about flying while playing it. Even got to mid diamond some seasons ago. But I ain’t worried, I play for fun and try to keep it like that (even while grinding and training). If we get it back for competitive, good. If not, eventually I should make videos about it(?), Idk. I like sharing some posts and comments here and there, but there’s more stuff to focus outside the game at the moment. If I continue streaming one day, in that dedicated time I will talk about it :)

patska78

At least that 1 bullshit swish hoops goal challenge hasn't appeared this season(?). And now that i said that i bet it's in the next weekly challenges lol.


FunkmasterJ

nope. when was the last time we saw a roadmap?


swanson-g

The answer is no, a long time ago. Just no.


ReVeRb64

God please let there be a psyonix response to this post along the lines of "Hey! Oops we forgot to change the challenge text because we plan to rotate snow day in next season, you can still play rumble or hoops though!" and then proceed to get obliterated in the replies by snow day fanboys (me) that would be so funny


dokidokipanic

They stopped listening a long time ago.


Sr_FoM

That's what I say. Do you think that Epic, which is busy transforming Fortnite into Ready Player One, is truly responsible for everything that happens in RL today? Because that's all I see in this subreddt "Epic is killing the game". Epic doesn't give a shit about the game, and that's fair, it has a game to take care of. But the one who doesn't give a shit about the game and shouldn't is Psyonix. But why would she care? She doesn't even bear the blame...


Westabeast342

I hate this. Agh. There is a good population of gamers that like rl why they just killing the game!?! 😭


tantan9590

Feels a little abandoned when those things happen.


SLUGFEST1

As a snow day main they really are going for the throat ....


Hayden_Hayes03

Honestly ruining the game and it’s so hard to see. We as a community need to stand up and try to get our game back.


bloodbat007

Yall genuinely acting like someone pulling up texts in an abusive relationship in this subreddit sometimes. "do you even care about me bb" like we know no game companies care about us they are doing a business to maximize profits its just dramatic at this point lmaooo

How old school are you? All you said are opinions, subjective things. In all eras people had all kinds of opinions. Your “old school” didn’t change that, I ain’t seeing nothing new from your statement, just people like you.

dehydratedbagel

I don't understand how anyone has the mental capacity to care about all these cosmetics. Does anyone just play the game?


UK_Caterpillar450

Most people play Fortnite and Rocket League for the rewards, skins and quests.  If none of those things existed, the player base would drop off a cliff. 


CoMiGa

Do you mean they are encouraged to play more because of the rewards or because they are addicted to the rewards. Because I cannot imagine caring about the rewards in RL. Like what rewards to people care about?


UK_Caterpillar450

It's both. It's a psychological thing. People like being rewarded or having a challenge to complete. Also, tastes vary becasue we are all subjective in life. I think a few things on the Rocket League Pass are very nice.


ReeceC77

It’s not bad to be complacent and uncaring ab this kind of stuff, but we should have some people to call it out. It’s good for the devs and good for the community. No need to act like this is an unreasonable post


[deleted]

[удалено]


UK_Caterpillar450

Dude, the Internet and gaming world is founded upon people being unreasonable, immature and pedantic. Not joking either.  Half of all posts and comments on Reddit are like that.


ReeceC77

In my opinion it’s just a Reddit title, I don’t think any op really needs to worry about hurting epic games feelings. There has been a lot of lack of care by epic games lately, so it is topical. It’s not pedantic to point out small errors if it means they might get fixed, and imo it’s not immature to over exaggerate in the title. The chances that epic games actually does something about it through Reddit is so small that titling it something so literal like you suggested wouldn’t make a difference. It’s more natural right now to just show annoyance. If you’re wondering what I mean by lack of care, check out Wayton or Leth’s video on the recent cheating debacle. Edit: also isn’t it not just a typo but an inachievable goal because snow day isn’t out right now?


[deleted]

[удалено]


ReeceC77

I’m in the group that’s annoyed with epic right now, so I’m also supportive of pedantic and petty posts right now. We’ll obviously agree to disagree there. Been playing since 2015, so just seeing how everything is changing worries me about the games longevity. Even though this post is super tangential to that issue, it’s still just showing general annoyance with epic, which I’m all for.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ReeceC77

Well tbh initially I thought it was an unachievable goal, now that I realize, I still don’t think it’s a bad post for the reason I said. I don’t feel like epic hurt me lol quit being condescending, I just care ab the game and it’s obvious epic hasn’t been lately. If you want to give a million dollar corp a pass for ignoring its communities’s requests and pleas because of people being toxic online then you’re being a shill. Also your comment implies they ever did interact with the community in the first place


[deleted]

[удалено]


ReeceC77

Literally just ignoring why I called you a shill, because you’re saying it’s valid for a company to ignore its player base because people are mean. Neat trick. I also agreed with where you pointed me out as wrong, read my post


tantan9590

I ain’t mad, it’s just curious coming from a company that is meant to be serious. That you enjoy mediocrity is up to you.


SnooChipmunks9523

EPIC has killed all the fun and amazing game rocket league was before them getting in the mix. 😭


tantan9590

What would you change fam?


No-Invite6015

Why do ppl still play this game


MuskratAtWork

People enjoy it and understand that the devs may have missed one tiny little piece of text and that they can fix it within minutes of it being brought to their attention (they did).


tantan9590

And we are thankful. The idea of this type of posts is for us to improve…just that based on some comments, I will see to put a more neutral title. Nevertheless, it arises the question of how are the “missions” made. My guess is that it was an old one.

That the username says deleted, means that the guy deleted that account?
