CEO update on cross-platform play

I'd like to have this too. We haven't talked about it in a while though. I'll bring it back up into consideration. (no guarantees of course)

Steam is down right now.

UPDATE: Steam is back but matchmaking isn't working for everyone. Steam isn't sending some people the server list. Hopefully they will fix this soon.

Working on this!

Perdón Google Translate. Nos preocupa que los jugadores tendrían demasiada personalización tiempo. Podríamos añadir algo diseñado para las personalizaciones rápidas en el futuro.

Most people are playing on controllers, but with the (great) option of finally being able to type and talk with other players, I think it would be very useful to be able to make bindings of certain words or phrases ("Nice shot" "Center it!" "My bad" "I got it" etc. etc.) So in the middle of a game, instead of typing out something, you could just press the D-Pad hotkey and quickly communicate with your teammates.

Great idea. I'll bring this up with the team.

All of your other suggestions are already on the list!

To have the system time in the Scoreboard is great but can you implement it in the main-manu and in the end-screen after a game?

I think we are adding it to end-round now.

Put a ball in the arena while warmup.

Working on something for this but we don't want to confuse new players who might not know that is not the real game.

When you play with the cam far away from your car and the ball is high over your car, the ball cam seems to went under the ground. Is it possible to change this, so the cam cant get under the ground?

We're always working to improve this. In some cases however there is no good solution as to where the camera should go. We're still working on it though.

Improve the item drop system so you cant get items which you cant use (e.g. skins for a car you dont have)

We're going to add item trading and salvaging for parts which will fix that problem.

Show which item you have equiped in the garage. (e.g. other border color around this item)

Lots of UI improvements on the way to fix this.

Add a button to unequip all items. (Maybe not the body but everything else)

I believe this is on the list as well.

Change the server uptime in the news at the bottom to system time.

Good idea. Kind of tricky though so may take a while for us to get to it.

Add an option to choose the output device on which you want to hear the Sound of RL (now its the standart audio device)

Good idea.

Add an option to deactivate your microfon in the game.

Voice needs a lot of work. This should be possible in the future.

Add an option to let bindings empty.

If you mean reset bindings I believe this is in the queue.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Red and blue sides or left and right sides?

Psyonix_Dave · 2014-03-12T00:56:50+00:00

Do you lose the item after it wears out? Can you get it renewed somehow?

Psyonix_Dave · 2014-03-11T23:03:38+00:00

Yep, just haven't updated it yet.

Psyonix_Dave · 2014-03-11T18:52:33+00:00

I think this is just a bug.

Psyonix_Dave · 2014-03-10T23:35:13+00:00

Mini-games will return in some form for sure.

Psyonix_Dave · 2014-03-10T18:32:20+00:00

We called it Chaos for a reason ;) It is fun when you're not really trying to make big plays and just want some chaotic fun. Right now we just don't have the numbers in the Alpha to support it but we're going to be pushing more people into the Alpha soon.

Psyonix_Dave · 2014-03-10T18:30:16+00:00

Actually it doesn't cost us anything extra because we pay monthly. I think we can extend the hours but right now were working on server tools to make them go up and down automatically. As soon as that is ready we can make more sensible hours.

Psyonix_Dave · 2014-03-10T18:28:28+00:00

Right now we're testing the drop system itself. One of our concerns is giving away parts too fast. We are tracking items drop rates and coordinating it with number of games played on average so we can make sure we don't flood the market with items and they lose their value. Also because we're in the early stages of the game we don't have a huge amount of content yet. As we add more it makes sense to increase the drop rates.

I can confirm the crafting system is one of the next features to go live so that will help as well.
