On PC, I have mostly Rocket Pass cars. Harbinger GXT (orange, sky blue, and tw) and Ronin GXT (all colors). Those plus an Octane ZSR. They're not super rare, but you're welcome to some, if you want. I'm BrewingTea. (with the period) on Epic Edit: Oh, you'll need to buy 500c from the store, if you haven't already, in order to trade, unless you played before it went ftp

It's some form of protection against infinite free trading accounts being made and all sort of scummy poo poo going down. It won't entirely fix it but it'll probably help.

It's like how in order to have a fully functional Steam account, you need to have made at least one purchase over a certain amount (I think $10). After that, you should be totally fine. Otherwise, Russian hackers just go nuts. And I mean, they still can, but at least Epic/Steam will be able to profit off of all of it.

I totally get why they moved away from loot crates+keys but I kind of miss it. Maybe I'm just a gambling addict. They must have seen their revenues go down since they switched because I used to buy a pack of 5 keys every few weeks just to test my luck. Now you get blueprints and in terms of getting the items you want I'm sure it's cheaper to just get the blueprint and pay the credits instead of buying keys for 50 crates to get a chance, but it's not as fun. I'd roll the dice and if I got something neat then I'd put together a preset look based on it. Spending 6 bucks for some keys is a lot easier to swallow than spending 20 bucks for some virtual wheels or whatever (even if you're spending the 6 bucks often enough to surpass 20bux). I don't really know where I'm going with this. It got better since this new season with the no-key loot boxes you get as rewards. I think they have a ways to go though? It just doesn't feel worth it to buy most of the poo poo on the shop even if it does look really cool. Maybe they just need to lower their prices?

I thought "paying to trade" was specific to trading credits and item-item trades were allowed from free accounts? But I also can't find the blog post and don't feel like digging any more. In conclusion, rocket league trading is a land of contrasts.

Yes, you can't trade anything (on a ftp account) unless you've spent that $5 at some point.

Do you not understand how this works? You're spending WAY more than $6 to get that sweet set of wheels. Maybe you get lucky and hit it on the first try, but for each person who does that, there's 100 who have spent $50 to get the same thing. But that's exactly what they want you to think. You're not spending $20 to get the wheels, you're spending $6 for a very small CHANCE to get those wheels, when in reality you're probably going to get some bullshit that you don't care about. And when you FINALLY get those wheels after so many tries, hey it only cost $1! The house always wins.

Does Stay Puft come with the ghostbusters car?I do have the 2 Fast 2 Furious Skyline and Party Time though  Can’t say I care for the blueprints just cause it’s like the feeling of “hey you got something!” then realize “no, you got the ability to pay for something." Probably wouldn’t mind as much if 90% of them weren’t just paint jobs or whatever.

I know man I literally admitted it like 4 times in my post. If you want X item it's way cheaper to just get the blueprint and make it with credits than to try and gamble for it. I said the 20 bucks to make or buy the thing is less than the 6 dollars spent a bunch of times. I'm not saying bring back the loot boxes.

Trying to learn how to do a speed flip, just messed around in the musty pack for a few hours and didn't hit the ball once, but I feel like I'm really close and missing some really small factor and I'm not sure what it is. My best attempts "look" right, they feel fast, but I'm still not making contact. Watched like 10 different youtube videos on the subject trying to figure it out. I noticed sometimes (but not always) when I reset the shot, the clock starts ticking down even if I don't press any buttons and that has me wondering if I'm getting scammed out of a tiny fraction of a second on some of my tries, like during that initial period when your car spawns but hasn't hit the ground yet which one video suggested as a problem. Anyone got any other ideas? I'm so drat close and this is driving me nuts.

I wanted a Komodo car body, which is 700 credits to craft from blueprint. I got it via trading for about 350. (which I got for trading some unwanted very rare stuff, so I didn't "pay" squat for the Komodo) Lesson to learn is making poo poo from blueprints is not the cheapest way. I know you weren't saying it was, but something to keep in mind.

I have an orange Komodo car I got as a drop but I'm curious if there's blueprints that have items that are only available via blueprints.

I don't think there are any bp-exclusive items. If it's on a bp, it could appear in the shop on any given day, but it will cost the same, and if you buy it from the shop, you can't ever trade it. (If you build it yourself, you can trade it later, although you'll probably lose money on the deal.)

I have a couple black market blueprints for the most garbage black market items (like toon goal explosion), and then I trade in five import blueprints and get...the one black market piece of junk decal blueprint I already had and don't use. C'est la vie, at least I have Labyrinth.

Lumpy posted:you can trade in blueprints? Yeah. You couldn't at first when they first made the blueprint change but people complained and now you can. I have like 200 blueprints and if I could I'd trade em all up to the highest rarity but they're awfully exclusive about what they let you trade up with. Almost every time I try out of the hundreds of BPs, it'll show me like the 3 other items I'm allowed to trade up with.

Blueprints are still kinda like crates where they’re part of different series and you can only trade up within the same series.

Blueprints have "series" like the old crates did, and you can only trade up with items of the same rarity from the same series.

Glad I only deleted like 800 of my 1600 blueprints then! Because now I can trade them in for other blueprints that I will likely never build. Unless the "splash" goal explosion is in there. Then I'm all over it. Because I missed getting that one  In other RL news, thanks to all the new players inflating ranks, I am Plat 1 in 1s after never getting to (or much less finishing at) Gold 2 ever.

Poquitos packs in the browse section of custom training are good for general ball striking which is always nice, but if your core issues are positional/strategic then posting a replay would be more useful.

I think my positioning is solid, I'm just inconsistent on my shots, I miss wall clears in the corner pretty frequently, and I can't do any of the fancy moves (double touch, flip reset, ceiling shot, etc.) oh and I just learned how to half flip like two weeks ago.

I managed to keep myself barely above the line of GC in Season 14 (with accompanying yellow title, yay me), but after a few weeks' break following F2P, I can't break out of even C2. It's weird, because while I've been noticing massive improvements to my own playstyle, particularly 1v1, the trend tends to be that the better I feel myself playing, the worse the string of losses I get in ranked. From how the opponents play it feels like there's been a shift so that low champ now is comparable to S14 low GC, but that might just be my own skewed observations. Either way it sucks and why am bad at game.

No it's not just you, they squished everyone's ranks so C2 is the new Low GC for now. Also you should join the discord, there's a few of us around your rank.

How the hell do you play this split screen on Switch? I used to be able to do it, but now, I can't find the option. All profiles involved have NSO, btw (though didn't RL get rid of that requirement?). I read guides that said "just push +" and to that, I say "just recheck your guide, because it's wrong."

got a couple of friends together and played one of the built-in tournaments for the first time last night - it was a lot of fun! totally different feeling that just playing ranked. it felt like most of the other teams were actually trying to play the game as a team rather than just stunting/leaning on one player's mechanical skill, which seems to be more common in ranked playlists at my current level (high plat/low diamond).

Can you enter tournaments as a solo person (i.e. will you be matchmade with other randos) or do you have to have a full team / party when it starts?
