Rocket League Catch All

I too am a TF2 refugee. TF2 had been dwindling for awhile *sniff* then Rocket League and I think Overwatch really took over. I had RL on my wishlist and my brother bought it for my birthday 8/1/15. 635 hours since then, though I really feel like the last 6 months it has become more than a game for me. I feel like I look at it differently and approach it differently. It's the highpoint of community gaming for me now and has filled that TF2 hole.

I really appreciate and enjoy playing and competing with you all. Thanks for the good times!

Looks like I purchased it July 24 2015 and just past 1900 hours in the last few weeks.

PS+ on PS4 for a while. Can't see purchase history there because I let PS+ lapse once and it shows the reup date as the purchase date for everything. In game play time reports 76 hours.

In April 2016, got it on PC on sale. Looks like a 4-pack with mrtomaytohead, Tanglebones and ActualDragon.

Steam reports 1014 hours, but in game says 18 days, 15 hours, which is only like 450 hours. So was that tracking later?

Maybe my PS4 tracking is off too then.

Picked it up holiday 2017 on Switch too, but barely play there anymore. Switch menu reports over 105 hours. So yeah I'm thinking the in-game thing is messed up because no way I've played more on Switch than I did on PS4.

The in game play time stat is time in games and wasn't there when the game came out so is missing a lot of your historical game time

My sometimes teammate Willi getting destroyed by Squishy and Lethamyr in ranked hoops:

Willi and I used to play a lot of ranked together before he went and got good and became a GC.

Same game from Squishy's perspective:

Hoping to get 6 wins in Platinum 1 tonight if anyone wants to join me.

I can try and help

Spoiler:

The term “help” does not leagally guaranty winning six games. Norfair, Cathode Ray Tube and all its subsidiaries can not be held responsible for any loosing streaks associated with such help

I’ll be around so if you need another teammate let me know. Worst case we can probably get the wins in one of the alternative sports modes.

Looks to me like you are on your silver rewards so you actually need 26 wins to get your platinum rewards.

Ahh, then f*ck it. Lets just play.

Double check. I’m going by what Rocket League Tracker says but it might be wrong.

Happy cross platform parties day!

Curveball 4s Saturday night, let's do it!

I miss half my shots with a ball that goes straight, now you want me to have to deal with a curving ball?

Maybe you will hit them just right then!

I'll take it.

Now how do I add Spikeout from PS4?

Hell how do I link and login as my same account on PS4?

EDIT: I guess there's no account link like that. I knew that progress wasn't shared but I thought that friends list would be. Why would I want to go to my Switch and type in and re-add all of my Steam friends? Ugh.

Send him your RocketID and he'll enter it on his end.

Yeah they never said RocketID would allow accounts to play across systems. A lot of people thought that was what RocketID was and it comes up all the time on Reddit and social media and every time they say no, that is not what they are giving. No cross system items or trading either. Maybe one day but not today. Personally I'd be happy if only Rocket Pass was cross account so I could contribute XP to it when I play on all platforms. I don't care if I get the items on all accounts (although why not), I just want it to count all my play time for XP.

I'd say don't add your friends on a system until you need to play with them on that system. You likely won't be playing on Switch with most people on your Steam friends list.

The new wheels are very bright. Think I kinda like the silver ones because they are subtle. Gotta build a car around them.

I'm pizzaddict#2733 for those non PC players that want to add me.

Not my best design but the best I came up with today to go with the wheels. The glow is a little hard to match well as it doesn't work with most subtle designs.

For those Alphaconsole users, it looks like it was updated this morning to work with the new update. It had been updated yesterday but was causing crashes so they pulled the update.

Last night we had our first console player join our pub games on Discord. It was Crumbo on his PS4.

What we learned unfortunately is that you can’t join into a pub server your friends are in using the new friends list. There is no join option for ongoing games.

So it is a little harder to take over a pub lobby when different platforms are involved but the solution is you either make sure the console players are in the initial party that is taking over the server or in the wait between matches a PC player can back out, party up with the console player, and then join them both back into the server using the Steam friends list join like we normally do.

So every platform can join in for pub server take overs but there is a little juggling necessary sometimes.

As for voice comms there still isn’t a Discord app for consoles but there are phone/tablet apps and of course the desktop app and webpage work well from a laptop. I’m not sure if the webpage works from a phone but the app works quite well. I don’t think we can easily bridge between Xbox/PS voice chat and Discord and there is no cross system voice chat I know of. When I play with my Xbox friends I join Xbox voice chat using the Xbox app on Windows.

I’m tempted to see if I can wire up a laptop as a bridge between Discord and an Xbox/PS voice party.

Long story short: Everyone regardless of platform can now join casual matches with the group and we have a workaround to get everyone in but you might have to use a phone or something for voice comms.

I was going to ask. I see 5-6 people in the rocket league chat on discord most nights. Are you guys playing unofficial bottle rockets or are most of you playing ranked matches? I realize now that I can use my discord app on my Ipad to chat if I join.

unofficial bottle rockets

New season starting. Hopefully more ranked, but that should not stop people from popping in!

Yeah I'd like to get ranked done sooner rather than later, while Rocket Pass is still going. I have a ways to go for earning enough keys for the next one.

So what is rocket pass?

It's the way they get you to drop $10 and 100 hours of your life so that you can get a stupid pizza banner and then once you've finally done it you realize if they had just offered the pizza banner for $5 as DLC you would have never bought it anyway.

If people are in that voice chat they are usually taking over a public unranked lobby. Join in! Sometimes ranked happens in there but often ranked groups go to a private voice lobby.

If you do play the 100 hours you get your $10 back though. I’ve got all my keys back on both passes so far.

Yeah I thought about it afterward and I've probably only put in 50 hours or so to get to 65 or whatever I'm at. I thought I remembered reading somewhere when the first rocketpass came out that they anticipated 100 hours to finish it but maybe I misremembered that.
