    Bro and I played some 2s for the first time in forever. Made some really crap mistakes but managed to place gold 1 which between that and 2 is where I kept going up and down all last season when I lost interest, so haven't lost that much skill I guess.

    I like the simplicity of the Farmville simulator 2017 map compared to the overly busy backgrounds of neo Tokyo, not BioShock, and not halo. Wasteland is a bit weird getting used to being standard size since it was at that other size for so long.

    Fake edit: and my discord keeps being a pain in the ass so need to fix that so I can join the channel.

    Looks like Halloween is going to be the first event using the new system, sounds cool: https://www.rocketleague.com/news/haunted-hallows-event-october-16/

    Uggghhhh. I'm glad we get a free currency to open crates, but locking away tradeability stinks.

    Yeah it sucks but I kinda get why they had to do it. Events would most likely mess up the market too much and they probably want to start doing these pretty regularly now.
    I also don't want to end up with a bunch of items in my inventory that I can't trade away (or trade up if I don't have exactly 5) so I hope they are also adding an option to just discard items.

    Started playing Rocket League. Realized the update hadn't dropped so wasn't earning candy corn. Stopped playing Rocket League.

    This is why I have to have crates hidden. I'd drop way too much on that shit in a second.

    I've spent way more on crates and DLC for this game than I'm willing to admit.

    However, I've also played this game an order of magnitude more hours than any other game in my Steam library. So generally I don't feel TOO bad about it.

    So far been getting 4 candy corn per game. Decryptors are 50 candy corn a pop. You can buy a max of 3. 150 candy corn at 4 a game, 37.5 games to get $3 bucks worth of keys basically. Not accusing Psyonix of some of the predatory behaviours of other companies but this has a very the first taste is free and you *can* grind if you want but there's an easier way wink wink feel to it.

  • SumanaiSumanai muh PTRegistered User regular
    I've been getting 4-6 per game so far. 3 if you join an ongoing unranked match.

    They did adjust it today to correlate the amount of corn to the length of the match. Get an immediate forfeit, get a little corn. Have an epicily long OT, get a bunch of corn. Two evenings of playing 2-3 hours each have netted me 100 corn.

    Capping it at 3 decryptors is kinda a bummer. A cap makes sense, would just like it a bit more.

  • BladeXBladeX Registered User regular
    What is everyone planning on doing with their 3? All Halloween crates? Open a few old ones?

  • SumanaiSumanai muh PTRegistered User regular
    I still haven't decided on what to do with mine since the items become untradable. I'm probably just buying all 3 and saving them for now.

    @TimFiji not sure if you are still interested in getting a goal explosion since you never got back to me but if you like Vampire Bats it's currently your cheapest option at 3-4 keys. Fireworks is around 6-7 keys now.

    I bought two decryptors and used them immediately. Got a couple of garbage paint skins in return.

    Am I doing it right, Psyonix?

    Are you now hooked and wanna spend all your money on keys? If not you're doing it wrong and should try the last free sample.

    Should I be using my candy on the non-crate stuff, or is that stuff in the crates too?

  • BladeXBladeX Registered User regular
    The non-crate stuff is different. It's the equivalent of the drops we used to get during these events by playing. I will say that's the positive of the corn, convinces people to play until the end of the match and encourages me at least to play more since I'd get all the drops in like a day and just be done.

  • Big DookieBig Dookie Smells great! DownriverRegistered User regular
    I wanted to play last night, but my lack of sleep over the last few days finally caught up with me and I passed out at like 9:00. Hopefully I’ll be able to jump on tonight.

    Took a break for several days, and as often seems to happen in games like this, when I came back I was playing a lot better. Climbed up to Plat 2, still climbing.

    Unfortunately, server lag made me stop playing tonight.

    Yeah servers have been down or lagging all day for me. Today wasn't a good day, not sure if it's better now.

    Good games indeed!
    I need to stop playing when I lose more than a couple in a row. I've been going on tilt recently and have dropped to gold 3 div 2 despite being up at div 4 a bunch.

  • BladeXBladeX Registered User regular
    Omg my never ending move is almost done and I'll have more time to play with you guys until the Christmas hours pickup!

  • Big DookieBig Dookie Smells great! DownriverRegistered User regular
    I’ll be able to play more too... as soon as I’m done with Wolfenstein.

    Sorry guys. Priorities. Killing Nazis always comes first.

    Not only did I make platinum for the first time this season, but I got my 12 wins for my first platinum reward!

  • BladeXBladeX Registered User regular
    Congrats on the platinum! That's amazing.

    Finished moving and now dealing with the ISP as they've capped the speed wrong at half a MB/s for some reason.

    I just checked and seems like the Reaper is currently going for around 2-3 keys... and your soul! :mrgreen: (that dab makes me cringe every time)

    Haha I love that stupid dab, seems to tilt players.

    A bunch of players hate that the reaper dabs and rage whenever they see it.

    How, how, HOW do people get into freaking Platinum and are still playing 8 year old ball chasing everything, crossing it in front of their own goal and following teammates into corners?

  • Super NamicchiSuper Namicchi Orange County, CARegistered User regular
    they bumped everyone up roughly a rank with the reset recently, so your current low diamonds are formerly plats and your current plats are formerly golds

    So I recently moved, I'll be getting internet at my new house in a couple days but I'm worried the internet here is so bad I won't be able to play online. We'll see I suppose. If I am, I'd love to go back to playing with you folks.

    Edit: Also, I've been watching a lot of the World Championships stream, and the level of play has been nuts.

    Wow it's nice to see the venues growing every RLCS, if I recall correctly the first one was like.. in one of those conference halls at a hotel.

    Edit: holy shit that gale force method game 6 OT.
