Any talks of improving servers or adding a US central option? My ping can range anywhere from 50 to 100 when I queue in the same region.

I think there have been a number of issues over the last few weeks that have impacted server connection quality.

• First and foremost, the servers themselves are operating fine, it's the routing path between a player and a server that may be problematic.
• In talking with our server providers, there have been at least two different instances of fiber lines being damaged in the last couple of weeks. When lines are cut, the routing between you and a server can change dramatically.
• We (and other games) are still feeling the effects of COVID quarantine -- lots of users online in general, and higher counts during peak usage. Our server providers are upgrading backbone networking hardware to address this, but given supply/shipping constraints brought on by the quarantine, it's taking longer ...

Maybe? To set expectations, the number of users who have that many items is in the tens.

Not exempt. There's no need to repeat the word, and multiple reports isn't going to change the outcome if they used a racial slur, etc. One report (yours) is sufficient.

PLEASE DO NOT POST ABOUT NOT SEEING THE UPDATE ON YOUR PLATFORM (See below)

Our latest update (v1.78) is now live. This thread is...

The SARPBC boost shapes make sense now.

:D

is there anything in the works regarding further inventory management and filters?

Yes. We'll talk about that more once we start discussing the larger update coming later this summer.

Bro listen to me. People are getting banned for using quick chats.

This is 100% false. We are not banning anyone for using Quick Chats. We never have. Please stop spreading misinformation.

Aight cool thanks hoping there's some sort of summer event coming up

You got it! From our blog yesterday:

However, we are excited to announce that we'll be celebrating Rocket League's Fifth Anniversary with a two-week event starting at the end of this month with Limited Time Modes, and Rocket League- and Psyonix-themed items in the event store. These items and modes will be revealed in the next few weeks.

CHANGES AND UPDATES

Demolitions and Bumping

Based on player feedback, we are making some improvements to Bump and Demolition detection. It is important to note that even with these fixes, Bumps and Demos will never be perfect in online play due to latency. However, after testing these changes with a variety...

Thanks for the post and kind words!

I mentioned this on the sub yesterday, but want to clarify a few things here related to yesterday's bans.

1. The bans yesterday did not display the words the player used that led to their ban. That is a bug that should be fixed as of today.
2. As evidenced by the bans issued yesterday, some racial slurs, sexual slurs, and language of similar weight are going to net you a game ban, bypassing chat bans altogether.

Thanks for posting about the URLs, investigating now.

My only issue here is that 72 hour GAME bans for a potential first offense is a little much, don't you think?

We disagree. We are going to be treating some language (like racial slurs, sexual slurs like f*****) this harshly moving forward, meaning punishment will go directly into Game Bans, bypassing chat penalties.

Meanwhile, some language (st, fk, similar) used across multiple matches will still lead to Chat Bans before a player escalates into Game Bans.

Hello! I can assure everyone here that we are not banning anyone from chat or from the game for the use of Quick Chats. One bug we are investigating right now, though, is why you aren't seeing what words or phrases caused the ban.

Happy to take a look if you can DM me your friend's Steam ID URL or platform name.

We've heard from several players who have Spectrum as an ISP, and we're investigating.

Replied!

Do you know your brother's ISP?

u/WorldCat Thanks for reporting this. I've raised this to our infrastructure team, but it woudl be helpful if we can get some more data. Would you be able to run an MTR to this game server so we can see what your packet routing looks like? I'll send you the information in a DM if you're willing to do so.

Thanks!

Looks like Devin was already on it!

The fiber cut was definitely fixed, and this seems to be a different issue, investigating. Also, DMing you.

If Nick Jr. had a Batman show, this would be in it.
