Definitely something we've shared with the Dev team. Thanks for your comment.

Bring back FPP mode. May be as an option, may be mandatory change, but with this type of gameplay it’s so much better to have first person camera instead of watching character’s back.

Appreciate the feedback.

We have a great blog from Kevin, CEO of Final Strike Games, on why the shift to 3P happened. Make sure to check it out:

Even worse is, you get a bunch of exclusive skins and a free 1000 points if you get Origin premium access, which is only $15. My bro spent 30 and is pissed i got all this shit for only 15 dollars. EA sticking their greedy paws everywhere.

The difference is that if you don't keep your subscription to Origin Access Premier, you don't keep the game.

If you have the Mythic Edition, you get enough Rocket Fuel to get the first Blast Pass free. PLUS you get more Rocket Fuel with the Blast Pass. Then, when Season 1 starts, you can earn more Rocket Fuel by completing Seasonal Challenges to get the next Blast Pass plus top-tier cosmetics.

unless we can earn 950 rocket fuel in the first season, then it's pretty pointless. nobody wants to miss BP rewards in the game they already payed for + game will be dry by season 2 with its current business model. knowing EA I can only earn 300 each season or something like that.

If you buy the Blast Pass, you actually get enough Rocket Fuel with it for the next pass. Complete Season Challenges and you earn more for cosmetics.

It would be cool to have more items in the game. Something like a "stim" which gives your weapon a faster firing rate and reload speed. Or maybe bandages, which will decrease the delay to recover the blast meter?

Edit: Also for the Magnet, there should be a better visual representation for it because there are times when I'll shoot and visually it shouldn't grab the rocket but it does.

That's what Artifacts are for.

  • A "Keep playing" checkbox after every match (I believe it would also help matchmaking, you will know which players want to stay)
  • A "Stay in party" option after every match

Also you should communicate your plans for Rocket Pass to the public and wich ways you'll implement to earn Rocket Fuel by playing.

I'm worried about the amount of content right now and if the cosmetics you'll add by Rocket Pass are going to be attractive enough to keep us playing (grinding even)

I like Rocket Arena, but right now feels like a great concept (that plays great when I can find a match) but a little empty on cosmetics.

We have:

And we have more blogs coming focusing on Season 1, Blast Pass, etc.

In my opinion, they should:

  • add a 1st person view as well
  • Reduce Dodge cool down from 6 seconds to 3.
  • faster movement
  • add an offline mode
  • let us host games
  • free weekend some time soon
  • lower the price of the game if you are going to charge for battle pass.

Other than that feels and plays great ! Its a lot of fun ^

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

On that last note - did you know that you can actually EARN Rocket Fuel just by completing Seasonal Challenges? Additionally, wait til you see what comes in the Blast Pass. (It's a lot.)

Try repairing your game in Origin. Then restart Origin, login, and launch the game. If it STILL persists, hit up EA Help at http://help.ea.com.

Pre-ordered Mythic Ed while using Origin Premier on PC. Have not got my pre-order bonuses yet. Restarting Origin has not helped. At the top right of the main menu UI, there's a constant spinning circle, as if it's trying to load/update my acct info, maybe?

Any help or input is appreciated. Thanks!

Edit: Oh, already contacted EA Help via twitter (the website only had Live Chat option, which was unavailable). No reply yet.

Under the game tile in Origin, go to Additional Content and verify you have it installed/unlocked.

Um.
Hi.

The source would be the post above in the OP - written by me. :)

Yep. That is correct.

Depends on your platform.
Steam launches GLOBALLY at 9PM PDT today / 0400 UTC Tuesday. Other platforms are rolling release, starting with ANZ.

I'll post the schedule in the above OP.

Added a new question to the above.

Is Rocket Arena available on EA Access/Origin Access? Is there a trial?

Rocket Arena drops on July 14, 2020 on Steam, Origin, PS4, and Xbox One. There is no trial for Rocket Arena via EA Access or Origin Access, but as a subscriber, you can get 10% off your purchase and you’ll get the Epic Mysteen Show Time Outfit. For Origin Access Premier subscribers, Rocket Arena Mythic Edition will be available for you at launch as part of the subscription service.
