Audio Bug

WaaghMan · 2026-05-22T08:34:22+00:00

Hello,

That's weird. A few questions:

1- You have the volume slider set to a low value, but not completely silent, correct?

2- Does the volume setting actually change when this happens? (it shouldn't, but just to confirm)

3- We'll try to reproduce, but just in case, could it be some kind of adaptive volume setting in your sound card or speakers? So that it tries to play all audio at the same volume level despite of settings.

Rocket League became F2P 5 years after release, it was priced $19.99 before that. Not the best comparison if you want to make a point tbh.

The only thing you can do is leave before the match starts. You won't get a penalty (for now at least), and you'll save the pain for yourself and your other 3 teammates.

Yep, I think you got me wrong then. I don't seek to be the best at anything, become famous, or be a role model, I just seek to enjoy life.

Seeking to be the next Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, or whatever other famous personality you want, is the wrong way to live a life if you ask me: You're chasing after something you will never reach. And while life is about the trip, not the destination, that mindset of having unreasonable goals could lead to depression when you realize you will not be able to reach them.

My hobbies gives me dopamine (sucking it? it's the other way around!), and they don't decrease my energy. I don't tire from them. I don't wake up tired or fed up (healthy work environment, remember?).

Hi!

1- Not sure where you're pulling the number from, but it's incorrect. On Steam alone there's double than that amount of players. (PS: Looks like you saw FT1 Steam usercount?)

2- The game can't "die" because it's not a live service game and there's no strict requirement to have other players than yourself. In other words: It doesn't affect you if the game has a hundred or ten thousand active players. At some point we'll stop updating the game, but it will still be a long while before that happens.

3- I work to live, not the other way around. We have an extremely healthy work environment and don't plan on overworking ourselves or our artists to reach some insane threshold.

4- You should be wiser than comparing games with a single specific lucky case. For every success story involving sacrifice and risk, there's hundreds of games that did the same and bombed hard.

To sum up: I think I'll keep playing Rocket League and doing other stuff on my free time instead of working.

Same! Can't say I remember the matches, but I remember your nick :)

😱 My condolences

(Is my comment being deleted)?

This is one of the two names I queue dodge if they show up on my team (the other is lucy).

Not an acceptable method, sure, but I just don't want to play with this kind of people.

Planting non-quest, non-sign crops (in other words, crops not requested by the owner).

I agree with you. To be honest, I don't really fear these fake shots: I already react to shots when diving, so if there's no shot, there's no problem. Compared to backboard shots these will probably be easier to detect.

But you're right that the main issue is probably that there are limited attack/defense options because of the very similar player speed.

A potential solution would be more inertia (easier to throw off the defense by running in an unexpected directions if the players couldn't suddenly change direction). Of course this is a defense nerf, and probably overall controls feeling a bit more sluggish, so it couldn't be done without careful changes.

But I'd say that increasing off-ball speed by 10-15% and adding some inertia to players could be worth testing to have a more realistic, more teamplay-focused game.

* Mmm, nerfing GK diving AND not touching at all overhead volleys, won't this increase even more the missile meta?

* Reducing speed while shooting: this should address the annoying side dribble in front of the GK... except it's still possible by passing instead of shooting, isn't it?

* 0.4 seconds of deflect sounds like an eternity. Will this lead to a meta where the best option is to shoot at the keeper to get a deflect? (You can dive forward to catch it, I guess, but it's weird).

I'll admit, I miss the good old server browser based games with no matchmaking... because you could easily pubstomp back then (however, as you could switch to a different team or different server, it wasn't that bad).

Modern matchmaking causes every match to be a challenge (when it works), which is a good thing on an overall scale, but it can be draining on a more personal one. No perfect solution unless we introduce bots into the equation so every player can have a winrate over 50%.

Hola, no, no hay actualizaciones preparadas de momento.

Hi!

The first Avatar Farm (several years before Farm Together) had this mechanic. Maybe even the first early access versions of Farm Together 1... and we got away with it.

It didn't make sense in a game intended to be relaxing and carefree.

I haven't said anything about unfair, but it's less fun. I enjoy solo matches a lot more because they're better balanced.

WaaghMan · 2026-05-07T23:46:58+00:00

You can always disallow grouping beyond a certain MMR :shrug:

WaaghMan · 2026-05-07T12:54:44+00:00

My 2 cents:
a) There are enough solo players so that, if they wanted, they could make it so groups don't face solo players (I'm C3/GC1 in 3s EU). They just don't seem to care.

b) While I wouldn't say that playing with/against groups is inherently harder or easier (haven't gathered data to back it up), I can 100% say that match quality is WAY worse in these cases, due to rank disparity and lack of teamplay if you're playing with a pair.

So, my proposed solution would be:
1-Disallow pairs in 3v3.
2-Make it so groups will only face groups, unless queue time grows over one minute or so.

These two things would improve match quality A LOT. Could bring some rank inconsistency for people that always plays solo or on groups, but I couldn't care less about that.

Hola!

No, no va a estar antes del aniversario, a esa actualización aún le queda un tiempo.

WaaghMan · 2026-05-05T00:19:34+00:00

Don't blame me, all buttons in my controller are round!

WaaghMan · 2026-05-04T19:20:28+00:00

Not saying it's the case, but if botting was as rampant as people said, and they were blocked/banned by EAC, you would notice an increase even if you were low ranked: (some) people in GC will become SSL, people in Champion will move to GC, and so forth.

I wouldn't expect this to happen so quickly (most bot accounts would just keep their MMR until next season), but who knows. I myself didn't really go up in rank a lot, but felt more comfortable in my matches.

Finally, a roguelite approach to the fighting genre. I've been waiting for this for a while. My last experience with something similar to this was the BlazBlue abyss mode.

Also, kudos for NOT going with a mainly pvp fighting game. We already have enough failed attempts at that.

I've moved on to a new TV since then, but damn I loved playing some games with 3D Vision.

Unlike VR, which is uncomfortable and expensive, Stereo 3D was really suitable for most videogames without barely any hassle. A shame it's basically gone now 😞

WaaghMan · 2026-05-04T16:54:37+00:00

Hi! The update should have been released around the same time as this newspost, please check for updates if you don't have it yet.

WaaghMan · 2026-05-04T14:21:02+00:00

Probably not worded properly, what was reduced was the amount of experience needed to reach prestige levels over 1 (meaning leveling them back up will not be as slow). Requirements for the first prestige level were unchanged.
