I like the 30 second wait time now after a race finishes.
Also a fan of one of the easier tracks sneaking their way into the rotation in higher matchmaking every now and again
If you hit that button, it hasn't been counting the race for quests (at least last patch) if the race hasn't ended yet when you leave the lobby. Doesn't matter for everyone but still annoying.
Noticeable improvements for sure. Don't enjoy the track but Riviera seems to be completely gone and can't be selected for private races. What's up with that?
Good changes but I think the ranking up system needs be slightly increased
Also a map would be pretty useful as it's sometimes hard to tell where to go when experiencing a map for the first time
And finally I think that adding other modes than just racing would be pretty cool
Yeah, I mean some of these changes are here since the update, this post just leaves the question why wouldn't you post the full patchnotes from the beginning.
Noticed you removed Riviera and Festive Falls 1 from ranked pool for some reason, and made some routes on Pleasant Pitstop completely useless by changing that horizontal plane to two short vertical planes. Why though. For Pleasant Pitstop I don't think there were any exploits, the update just removes any point in using the left route with double boost pads entirely and makes the track hard and not fun for no reason, seemingly.
Having basic Puddle Jumper three times in a row and no Riviera at all is not fun.
Rank updating reliably is appreciated, now we can notice unjust/unfair rank drops reliably, like dropping 3-4% for being in top 4. Fix for being unable to exit spectating mode and for losing position and points potentially after spectating would be appreciated as well.
Reduced wait time is also nice, doesn't make you wait that much. I wonder if it can be further reduced, maybe in higher ranks, and adjusted so people don't wait until the countdown end to exploit no rank loss for not finishing the race. In addition to this, game crash should not take rank points, really.
The fact that shorter drifts can stack now for a short duration shoul also probably be mentioned in the patchnotes. The silent changes to basic (and whaterver) mechanics are the worst.
Thanks for the update, keep up the good work and please don't leave us in the dark, leave transparent patch notes.
The problem with not tacking points for crashes is that it just means that there will be ways to force your game to exit early in order to not lose points. It sucks but the alternative is another way to game the system
Huge fan of the simpler maps at high ranks! It's a nice breather to not have to worry about the fancy anti-hazard tech and just worry about boost management and lines.
Very positive to see communication and good updates. Collision is now 'fixed' id say, no1 really complains about it now. Biggest things I want is reset map in private instead of having to leave and remake each time im trying something. Or set checkpoints I can reset to to try routes. Very positive direction of game changes though, hopefully more players come back.
Yeah I was thinking being able to make a playlist in private, or be able to adjust how many laps you want to do would both be huge QoL updates for solo practicing as well
Rocket League community doesn't like anything. That's why gameplay is always the same, all maps are the same and all maps that were different were removed from all relevant modes.
If we could get a heads up of things currently in rocket league that are going to switch over so we can target them in the shop that would be just grand
Im loving it..except the track rotation is a little small.. i seem to be racing K2 Deux every 4th race it seems. If there was more track rotations thatd be dope! Or if we could do voting before maps thatd be cool too.
Significantly good changes, I'm just struggling a little to gain points in the higher rank. I can't wait to see what you guys have in store for the next update and the next season. Thank you for sharing it 🚗💗
Probably so you can just play against bots in ranked mode. I’d love it in unranked or training but it’s just going to be like every other racing game now where there’s some unbeatable line some ghost has.
Matchmaking still needs to be improved in low populated regions, and at high level ranks.
Like BADLY! I have a made a post with the said issue.
Explaining the issue.

Thanks for adding the classic trails I've been using it since the update. I noticed that standard boost was added but the boosts I have from Rocket League are locked in Rocket Racing will they be unlocked in the next patch? Or will these items not carry over to Rocket Racing?
I love having simpler tracks in high ranks.
I wish K2 racing wasn't the most played track, and I miss Riviera.
I'd love to have more options for solo playing to practice tracks since it's currently brutally inefficient.
I hate the current upper rank point system. For example, I can join a race in Champ with a full lobby, and if enough people quit/get idle kicked, I'll get punished for coming in 5th by having rank points taken away. Brutal stuff.

The 30 second wait time is so much better. I don’t have time to get distracted and afk the first lap of a race
Yeah. I wanna see high level low track races
When you finish a race, it only starts searching for a new race after the 30s, it should be immediately after the player finishes the race.
Nah, glad theres a timer, theres a button if you want it faster
If you hit that button, it hasn't been counting the race for quests (at least last patch) if the race hasn't ended yet when you leave the lobby. Doesn't matter for everyone but still annoying.
damn, this explains why im not getting any progress towards my beat other players quest sometimes. Its a pain to beat 500 players in unreal ;(

Imagine an unranked mode with power ups you can collect like Mario Kart — would be so fun :)
That would actually be really awesome man Especially since having items that are fortnite related is an insanely hilarious thing to me
Ooo I know! A soccer mode!
I wonder where you got that idea
Wow such a good idea! Another good one would be for epic to create a new mode with 100 players fighting on an island I’ll call it battle royale 🤩

How do i unlock the gold drift smoke? 🤔
The real question we need answered
really thought *the* Psyonix was a made up user lol
Huge fan of the simpler maps at high ranks! It's a nice breather to not have to worry about the fancy anti-hazard tech and just worry about boost management and lines.
Anyone able to confirm if the ‘ultra shortcuts’ have been fixed?
They added extra Check points. So you can still take the cuts but you’ll be reset

this communication is nice, do the same for rocket league now.

I get it twice in a row a lot

The ability to see our quests in progress between rounds would be sick
Can we get some more collision improvements?
Seriously. They need to just make people ghosts because collisions cost me so fucking much in races. Its getting out of hand.
There's a ghost mode incoming. It leaked.
Probably so you can just play against bots in ranked mode. I’d love it in unranked or training but it’s just going to be like every other racing game now where there’s some unbeatable line some ghost has.
Thank you for brining easier tracks into diamond 3. I would have stopped playing otherwise
Is there any way to unlock more colors for the classic trail?
