Rocket League Catch All

Do any of you all play with your kids online? I play with my son but he's getting bored of me. Might be fun to team up with another parent/child combo in Chaos or 2v2. (Note that we are not great). We're on the West coast, and my schedule is erratic so timing can be tricky, but I'd def make the effort if anyone's interested. Post-dinner during the week is best, but weekends we're more flexible.

He's also looking for people trade items with on PS4. He wants black market stuff, but I understand those items are pricey and not easily traded for, so expectations will be managed there.

ok, ok, ok...... I guess I can turn on full monkey mode and play some chaos

you guys suck, guilt tripping jerks

I am on PC, and have a few things to trade. Probably not my two precious Black Market items though.. lol..

I am loving the Season stuff. Gives me things to try for, forces me to try solos and duos.
And I admit, I love all the rewards, I wish I had been playing more the last 5 seasons, since there are so many cooling looking things I figure I missed out on (Stay Puff Marshmallow man, omg, goal animation).

I will just admit now, that I will end up buying some pretty stuff, I gotta support Psy right?

How old is your son? I play some with my sons (14 & 11), but just against bots. We can coordinate something in a private server.

Cool! He's 8. No worries if they'd rather play with someone closer to their age, but if they're interested I can ask him.

Unfortunately you can't trade across platforms

Played with Pink Stripes, Dork, and Caro last night. We tried to do random teams in a 3v3 pub match originally but too often we ended up with blowouts and people leaving over and over which sucks when one of us is against the other 3. Or we’d end up with randos taking it way too seriously and being toxic to those of us on their team. Switched to Chaos and it was way better. Even when we ended up beating other teams by 8 goals they weren’t being toxic or leaving mid match (most times) because no one cares in chaos. It’s like a private match where you still get XP.

I really wish they mixed in more variety tho such as the non-standard maps.

I love when we manage to get a play where all 4 players on a team touch the ball once sequentially leading to a goal proving that even in chaos we can do something resembling rotation and passing.

RL patch today updated how demos work and is intended to fix some of the inconsistencies

My god if there is any game type that forces you to know how to aerial, it is this one.
Fun. Stressful!

Question:
Why do they allow people to quit out of Competitive matches, making teams unbalanced.
Wonder why they dont fill the spot.

In Ranked they have to leave it empty. It's a ranked mode, letting other join would through that math out of whack.

Not sure why they don't allow it in Heatseeker though.

Yes, definitely needs you to get in the air! Remember the ball is going to curve towards the center of the net. left right, up down. Work on anticipating that.

What if demolitions were removed from Rocket League?

Definitely the GWJ highlight videos could use editing (I’m just stitching clips together in random order without editing) but what it’s really missing (as others have pointed out before) is the comms that happened during the clips.

Is anyone recording clips locally with discord audio included that we can add to future videos?

I had thought about the clips today...I think I'm just going to start recording all desktop audio and game capture whenever we get a group together. Yea it'd be cool to edit the clips and throw some tunes behind it but the comms that go into a lot of plays would really set things off.

That’s what I was thinking. Nice edited clips are cool and all but the real reason GWJ plays together is the community and shared experience and voice comms is a big part of that. The heart of the GWJ RL community is missing from the clips without voice comms.

I used to use the gforce now app to capture it, but that is just making a video. If we did that you would be pulling youtube videos to make a youtube video or we would need to deposit the source somewhere.

You can import those clips directly into GYG and post them like you do any other gif. There is a button in the bottom right of GYG that uploads a local clip and it becomes a nice shareable gif like any other but when I download the video from GYG it still has all your audio. That’s how I turn my Xbox clips into gifs.

It’s more work than just telling GYG to clip but it’s not bad. From Xbox I have to upload my clips from the Xbox then download on a pc then load into GYG. With Nvidia recordings you can just drop your clip right into GYG.

If you do this and you want to cut your clip before adding it to GYG I recommend using something like XSplit Express Video Editor that can recut videos without re-encoding. So much more convenient.

Yea I pay a yearly subscription to a decent video editing software so I'd be more than happy to get some use out of it for sure. It's pretty in depth and I've had some practice on it, to me its actually enjoyable. Little side hobby I guess. An older example so y'all can see how detaching audio works. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxQ1... You'll notice some comms are "cut and pasted" into areas where it's simply for humor or just fits. So our humorous audio moments will also be good content for areas of gameplay that lack comms.

As long as you don’t take people’s comms out of context in a way that person would not want....

Can Nvidia capture the Discord comms?

Yes IIRC. I’m going to try it again some time soon. Likely use both that and GYG and just trigger Nvidia when there were interesting comms.

yes nvidia will record the comms, you can adjust the volumes in the audio settings

bandicam also works and I believe AMD has one for their cards

For those of you who didn't catch the first episode.

Second episode hot and fresh.

my mission is complete

Had a good time Friday. Played fours a bunch with Norfair, Nuean, and BagoPucks, then retired to the private server to practice/talk in a more relaxed environment. Norfair and I spectated Nuean and Pucks 1v1ing for awhile, then we played some 2v2s. Unlimited time, switched to unlimited boost for a bit.

Was a nice change of pace.
