Rocket League Catch All

Thanks, I see a lot of cool trick shots posted there, which makes me think that you probably wouldn't want me on your team! I'll say hi there anyway

I think the discord would benefit a ton from new players joining. Everyone can choose to slow down and make the game fun for everyone in the lobby. We used to have a much wider skill range in there a couple years ago.

I'm curious how many newer or lower ranked players there are in GWJ who would show up for some non-serious mutator games or tournaments if they knew it wasn't just gonna be them and a bunch of higher ranked players. It's a little rough if just one newer player shows up but if we had a planned event time it might be easier to get a more mixed range of players to attend. It's a bit hard to make an event work for NA West and EU but likely a time could work for NA East and EU.

Sounds good, I bet there are quite a few new players since RL became free to play. I have a couple of friends that I'm occasionally joining up with (they have been playing for a while), so I'm getting some practice with team play

I've started playing it again. I still suck (nothing has changed).

We all still suck. We are all just different colors on the potato rainbow.

I reinstalled. Maybe after both kids are asleep I could try. But mostly I just want to login and make sure all my shared account rewards are there.

Team GWJ lost match 2 in IGL. Series was 3-1. Games were competitive, but we were on our hells a lot of the time. I was undisciplined too much, hunting demos, not prioritizing rotatation.

Got tons of item notifications. And there was a little into tutorial cutscene style. That was weird.

I see they've fortnite'd up the game with even more weekly tasks, season tasks, etc. Don't see how I can keep up with all that right now. But I did play a handful of casual matches last night and today.

But over 1 million active players at 2 in the afternoon was neat to see.

Tournaments are fun too now.

If we get critical mass in Discord tonight shall we do a tournament? Vanilla or mutators/extramodes? I Hope to see some new/returning faces!

I hope to be on, kids-pending.

First time Psyonix has done something like this I believe. The wheels are kinda cool.

Edit: I ended up buying the wheels. First thing I’ve bought on the store since TW dominus was first available.

The wheels cost 200c and the decal 300c - though you can get a player banner for free

Did you end up running one? How'd it go? Try another tonight at Bottle Rockets?

We did not, I'm down for tonight tho

This made me laugh. TBH for most people he's probably right but I'd personally rather go for crazy freestyles than focus on rank so I'll use my dumb cars thank you very much

The Rocket League 101 Psyonix doesn't want you to see

Wrong, don't use Octane because everyone does and it's boring. Use the Breakout because it's cooler.

I do love breakout...right until I try to catch or bounce dribble and barely miss because the nose is so damn low and I decide to quit using breakout for a while....

I've wondered if I should just switch to Octane now since that seems to be the meta of the game. It's not like I'm good enough where it really matters, but still if using the Breakout is hurting me in anyway then maybe I should just switch it up now and get used to the Octane.

The way I figure it is....I'm not ever going to be good enough for the shape of my car to affect me too much. Could I be? Probably, but I just don't want to practice or spend time getting better. I'm more of a "jump in a car that feels right and play while I'm buzzed" type of player. Your mileage may vary, but car selection is just for fun for me. That being said, I run Fennec, So I'm pretty much using an Octane shaped like a box, anyway. Har.

Our next IGL match is TONIGHT, 9pm EST. Pizza, Crumbo and Norfair. It'll be streamed:

Best of luck!

You are going up against the Presidential debate so try, if you can, to have voice coms be slightly less toxic than that broadcast.

The Middle Aged Noobs discord is doing a 2v2 Heatseeker tournament next Sunday (November 1) at 4pm Eastern (1pm Western). Some matches may be streamed on their Twitch.

You can sign up as a team or as a free agent for random team assignment. Sign up here:
https://battlefy.com/middle-age-noob...

Dorkmanship and I are signed up already.

I’m not sure if you have to be a member of their discord to join but if you do you can join easily here:
https://discord.com/channels/2145388...

Edit: fixed date. Thanks for the correction Norfair.

You mean november 1st?

I'll have to track Flaming down.

Lets do it.

Is there a way to purchase the Rocket Pass on Epic without having to put in my credit card info or using Paypal? I guess I could go buy a prepaid visa card and that should work. My son wants to get the Rocket Pass on his account.

You could trade him the credits. It would take a few days after buying the credits.

Oh, didn't realize that was a thing you could do. I'll have to give that a try.

Edit: My son pointed out that he can't trade until he spends at least 500 credits.

So we did a private tourney and it was pretty fun. Did twos because we didn't have a ton of people. Are there any lurkers out there who would join us for more private tourneys?

Up for it but barely Gold III, aaand I find myself stressed by discord somehow, I enjoy the banter but don't feel like talking much while playing. If that's ok for folks I think I can join a tourney.

Silent is fine. It’s pretty common for one or two people to be muted in that channel a lot of the time.
