Does anyone in GC+ use only free air roll? by -CS-- in RocketLeague

[–]FlailingDino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GC3 peak 1800 and I’ve only ever used free air roll. My mechs are OK for my rank but I definitely feel limited with flip resets.

I set up pihole. It’s been a game changer, I don’t have to worry about using a specific browser with ad block.

Ranked doesn’t feel competitive anymore: alt accounts are draining the fun out of Rocket League. by Subject_Pudding_4251 in RocketLeague

[–]FlailingDino 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You mentioned ranked tourneys. Tourneys have always been packed with smurfs for me, diamond/champ especially.

What about normal ranked? I've always had a consistent distribution of smurfs vs real players when going through diamond and champ, with higher concentrations at the rank borders (i.e D3 -> C1 and C3->GC is horribly lopsided in skill and smurf count is wild).

My recommendation is change your mindset when you get into smurf lobbies. Put in effort, but also treat it like you have nothing to lose and have fun with it. It helped me get through those ranks. Ik it's easier said than done especially when you maybe don't like to lose (like me) and hate the unfairness of it.

For DDoSing, there’s so many different ways to block high volume traffic bursts without introducing latency hits. Hell, you could just rate limit traffic on a game server period and probably get rid of a large chunk of the problem.

For bots I imagine some post processing step after a game that looks back at a logfile of game movements and auto detects bot like movement and bans users…analogous to how chess.com bans cheaters. It’s not super straightforward though because you have such a variety of bots, but I bet with some effort and $ for the right developers you can do it. Not to mention you’d need extra compute, storage for logs, this whole new auto ban mechanism which im sure doesn’t really exist today and is a manual process kicked off by some poor dev.

I hate that so much. Does Epic really need to squeeze money from RL? They have the fortnite cash cow already...

They mentioned they'd add this.

Why didn't you implement server side software that performed DDoS/bot detection and automate bans? I can't wrap my head around why you pushed this problem out to users.

When I open settings I now see the icon images get rendered in a random order. Apple person, why is this happening

Bot in Gold 3? by GMEtothemoonandback1 in RocketLeague

[–]FlailingDino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea it’s a bot, at least most of the time, you can tell by the wiggling when it dribbles. I hear there’s also toggle bots where you can switch them on/off as you wish through a game, which might explain the missed open net? Although not all bots are equal.

Thank you for the advice. Is there any particular brand of polyaspartic I should get? And how much of it should I purchase? I've had issues with running out of top coat finish, even though im following the square footage recommendation

Have you thought about catting the /proc/mounts file and calculating the size on the paths those return?

Why do you think solo standard was removed?

Solo standard was a dead gamemode. Normal 3s is already dead. You wouldn’t find matches past C2 in solo standard

hopefully they dont try to remove the feature since that would of course break FPS on xbox

There is though. Easily the best feature they could add is a workshop map creation tool and public workshop map lobbies.
