Got an email about a class action lawsuit. Sounds like nearly everyone will get 1k credits and if you can evidence that you believe you were deceived by crates you can get some cash. I promise you, this is the real link. https://www.epiclootboxsettlement.com/

Yeah it's not a scam. Here is a link to the RL website about this issue, if you paid for keys for crates your account will be (or has already been) given 1,000 credits in return, which is apparently not part of the actual settlement. If you live in the US and feel that you have grounds to make a claim related to the settlement, then you may be able to get something more from it. It really does sound like Psyonix/Epic are trying to get away from this as much as they can, considering they also changed the Rocket Pass system so you can't buy new levels anymore. I don't know what I'm going to do with these credits but you know, I'll take it. Maybe I will spend them if that one car I use ever turns up as a painted version again.

Check this out, I was messing around with the graphics settings and I turned off bloom to see what that would look like. All of a sudden, the game just felt really fast and the controls felt way more responsive and snappy. It's as if the bloom post rendering was adding a few miliseconds delay to everything I was looking at. I quickly went from low plat to high mid-high plat in 1s and 3v3s. It's weird, cause I have a decent PC (radeon 5600 xt and a ryzen 3700 proc) so I thought it running everything on high wouldn't have much of an effect. Turning other graphics settings down doesn't affect responsiveness at all, just the bloom setting.

This is the last week to get registered for the Indy Gaming League's Spring Circuit. They run 1s, 2s & 3s leagues in USE, USW & EU and for this circuit a hoops league in USE. Teams are sorted into tiers based on the highest ranked player on the team then the tiers are broken into divisions of 12-30ish teams. You only play against teams in your division, the top 16 teams in a division go to the playoffs. The regular season runs for 6 weeks, you play 1 match per week. You schedule with the other team's captain when you want to play that match so it's pretty flexible. The matches themselves are best of 5, except for the last 2 playoff rounds which are best of 7. If you have any questions let me know. https://www.indygamingleague.com/leagues

There's a season 3 now. I don't really know what that entails. Came here to ask: does anyone know if there's a way to force matchmaking to the local region only? I'd rather wait 5 minutes for a match than be put on a server half way around the world; the game just doesn't work well with 200ms+ lag. I know there's a region preference but it seems to give up and just look anywhere after about 30s.

You can earn a new set of rewards for getting whatever rank in competitive, and get new items from the rocket pass. It sounds like you're using this* correctly and you're still getting placed in other regions? What region are you in, what regions are you selecting, and what regions are you getting put into? Also based on your previous posts, are you queueing snow day? It's got a very low population so the game at some point is gonna give up if you're not in one of the major regions (NA/EU/SAM/OCE) and even the last 2 might give up too. *

Ah, no I hadn't discovered that option in the screenshot. Don't I feel silly now! I had only configured the one in the settings menu, which I now realise is the tournament selection. Thanks for pointing that out. Yes, mainly trying to find Snow Day competitive matches in the Europe region. Probably not helping matters by searching for matches after midnight.

Splits are a seasonal set of tournaments that culminate in a major. It’s a weird term.

RVT posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hojE3t1nmg0 The RLCS X season is divided into three separate "Splits", or mini-seasons within the season - Fall, Winter, Spring. Each Split has 3 regional events leading to a Major tournament for that split. Major gives double points. All points from regionals and majors across all three splits go towards qualification to a championship tournament at the end of the whole RLCSX season. This was planned to be a LAN event with all regions coming together for a world championship tournament but, poo poo's not okay enough for that so it's regional championships only this time still.

Previously there's been a couple big season events per year for the RLCS but for the last year they decided that they wanted to have three seasons of regional events all tied together into one grand competition, and called them splits. They've shifted the format around a bit for each of these splits, I guess to keep things interesting. They wanted the results from each of these "split" seasons to count towards a big final Major LAN event to cap it off, but that's not happening now for obvious reasons. I think if it's anything like last year, they're going to push a bunch of smaller event tournaments for the summer and then we'll see if they reuse this Split format for the next year. RLCSXI maybe?

So is the fennec functionally equivalent to the octane? I managed to trade a bunch of blueprints for a fennec body, and even though it's supposed to be the same hitbox and everything, the car feels much better than the octane. I'm scoring goals left and right and I feel like I'm a lot more precise on my ball touches. It's probably just that the car model more closely matches the hitbox, but it somehow feels like the car is less wobbly and more precise.

I think the fact that the fennec is a square boxy coat means it fits the hit box better and so feels “nicer” when you hit the ball. Also, do the different car within a hit box class still have different weight/turning/responsiveness? I swear some cars just feel snappier than others.

I'm pretty sure that when they originally standardised the hitboxes there were still small differences in handling, but they've since standardised that now too so each hitbox has its own dimensions and handling but cars of the same hitbox are identical. So whether you're driving a Fennec or an Octane or a Scarab, it shouln't make a physical difference, you should get the exact same hits and turn the exact same amounts. There are like fifty other identical Octane hitbox cars including the Backfire, the Vulcan, the Road Hog, and the Ford F-150%-the-size-of-other-cars. As far as the game's concerned they're all interchangeable. The difference is how you see the game; you see the model and not the hitbox, so you make slightly different assumptions about the car and how it's going to hit the ball, and these small differences make a bigger difference when you're trying to do something precise. Some cars are so different you can see the edge of the hitbox pushing the ball, or the ball blatantly clipping through the car. So cars with the same hitbox do feel different but they aren't actually different. If it feels better to you, and you think it looks cool (it has to look cool) then go for it.

Gridiron was activated as the Limited Time Mode. It's my first experience with it because I stopped playing for a while. Chaos with more Chaos, huh? - Anyway if anyone knows the process to get my Steam DLC stuff (batman etc) to show when I run it through EGS that'd be swell to see the explanation. Also, the EGS version doesn't seem to have voice chat at all--is that normal? There's a 24 hour waiting period to switch between "preferred platform" or whatever, I switched back to Steam and playing on Steam so at least I have access to what I've paid for and voice chat (even though no one else seems to use it)

All it does is bring in the progression from whichever one you choose, so if you've played more on Steam set it to Steam even if you do play on Epic in the future.

Congrats new plats. Feels good on that first rank-up. I spent a long time at mid-high plat, occasionally popping up into diamond. Last few season I've cemented myself into diamond and don't worry about dropping back into plat. Next up, doing the champ-diamond back and forth dance (hopefully). Lumpy posted:I’ve made it to diamond in all modes and I can’t dribble or do anything vaguely mechanical. I wouldn't say I can't do anything vaguely mechanical, but I'm much closer to that end of the spectrum than the other. I think the 3 most important things in the game, in order, are: 1) Speed 2) Being able to hit the ball hard 3) Positioning 1 and 2 go to generating pressure, which is what the game is basically about. 3 goes to generating pressure and not giving up easy goals. These are basically the only things I'm close to good at, and they have served me well. Leads to a lot of wins, but not a lot of flashy highlights unfortunately. Also, I don't go for aerials in the forward half of the field. I wish I could convince my friends to do the same, but they are still in the touch-lust phase. A lot of the goals against us are on our open net because people have taken themselves out of the play.

finally decided to make a real attempt to learn aerials recently and can reliably do basic ones now, been a huge help on defense and around midfield. nothing too crazy yet but they helped get me out of gold. otherwise my game is mainly positioning and angles, I like to think I rotate pretty well and don't overcommit too much AndrewP fucked around with this message at 03:52 on May 18, 2021 |

I'm also poo poo at mechanics. Only just learning to fast aerial and half flip. Made it to diamond just with decent positioning and being able to hit a hard accurate shot from anywhere on the pitch. I do feel high diamond is where the lack of mechanics is starting to hold me back a wee bit though.

Quaint Quail Quilt posted:Congrats! Yeah me too recently. good work! I'd say the most important tip to get from plat to diamond would be to only go for the ball when it's safe, so basically when your teammates will be ready to cover net if you miss or get beaten. Around that rank I would try to play more defensive, your teammates will likely ball chase usually so just hang back and let them do their thing, be ready to cover their mistakes. Do this and you should get to diamond in no time! And like someone else said, getting really powerful hits is key to getting out of that rank. Practice power hits in training

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5E4MMWr4xw Road to SSL without mechanics This series by Flakes (that I saw posted on the goon RL discord) has helped me a ton recently and echos all your advice. I do pretty good with the basics, positioning, boost management, speed, PowerShot, saves, rotations. Learning air roll some and dribbling/flicks would just level me up. Everytime I take a few hours to work on a mechanic I see dividends, and it makes the game more fun. I was coached by a friend that's a ball chaser, but he makes it work and have been trying to break myself of those habits for months. More often than not I let the other team boom it for no reason and it turns into a pass to me and a goal on them.

Why? Because he - without thinking about it or even noticing it enough to talk about it - makes "perfect" touches. He matches speeds with the ball flawlessly, gets it to touch the part of his car he wants, time his arrival to the ball just right, etc. So if you work on what he is doing in the videos (and you should if you are bad at 1s like me!) be aware that it won't be as easy as when he does it, so don't get frustrated.

I’ve been playing RL on and off since launch basically and always hung around bronze/silver. This is the first time I’ve made a real attempt to ‘get gud’ and it’s a wild how much the margin for error has shrunk even just in Platinum. Any mistake gets punished. And I know it only gets harder from here.
