Item Shop Preview (Design Not Final)
We announced the arrival of the Item Shop when we first revealed Blueprints, and there's plenty to unveil prior to December's update. The Item Shop coming to Rocket League is an all-new way to browse in-game items to buy the exact item you've been looking for. Here's a rundown of important information you'll need to know....

The player had no way of knowing who he was talking to or what preference I have but it was the go to insult that he had. And it repeated. A lot.
RL itself does not auto-filter all-chat at the moment, but consoles do. (We auto-filter party chat due to requirements tied to cross-platform parties.)
Sorry to see this :(
If you reported them, auto-ban is guaranteed. You can DM me your Platform ID and I can check if you'd like.
I’m pretty sure that people commonly associate the names I listed with things like murder and rape, amongst other things, and I listed them in this case specifically because of their friendly relationship with Epstein. But that second part is irrelevant. The point is that people are supposedly using the name inappropriately, which can be said of these other names as well. Are you censoring the name because of what the guy did? No. And you know that it would be overstepping to censor common names because of what one person did. You’re censoring it because of how people are using his name. So, your argument doesn’t actually make sense. And suddenly you’re asking to put all of the world’s sins on a scale that you can be judge and juror for. Either way, you’re censoring a last name because of what people are potentially saying with it rather than punishing contextually? Well, then... you should really get your argument straight.
You're making a lot of conjecture without seeing data, and really that's the best you can do so I don't blame you for that. The context is taken care of in many cases but I won't go and say that our usage of natural language processing is perfect; it will never be perfect. When keeping the context in mind, we look at many different levels of risk with topics like radicalization, child grooming, vulgarity, sexual content, etc. So yeah context is definitely part of the mix, and none of this is black and white which also means that current events are taken into consideration.
Playing in OCE yesterday hadn't waited longer than 30 seconds (roughly) for the match (ranked 2s) to be found. Got a high latency warning and found I'd been put on USE. Didn't report server as it was stable and ping was as expected for that distance. Checked after the game and had region set to recommended. I have changed it to OCE now. I have not encountered this before.
PS still won the game.
Sending you a DM.
I’m aware of that, and of all of the strange behavior it’s experienced since then (I’m sure you guys use some sort of open source filtering system), but I don’t remember any cases where you intentionally filtered a last name, regardless of the current drama. I mean, if you’re going to censor “Epstein” then you might as well censor other last names that could offend people and be used inappropriately for whatever reason, like “Trump” or “Clinton” or whoever else is a source of drama in the world.
Sources of drama like those do not match nearly the same level as child prostitution, and from what we have analyzed, filtering "Epstein" is a calculated decision to prevent further obscenities.
We take these instances on a case-by-case basis and each decision is taken very seriously.
I'm either using Recommended or USE servers.
I'm either using Recommended or USE servers.
Thanks! Going to look into this further, may be an issue of Recommended putting you outside of the US for some reason. For now, I would not use Recommended, and would just keep it to USE.
You guys are censoring names now? Okay.
We have been filtering usernames, among other text, for over a year.
Are you playing in a Middle East server while in the Southeast United States? Because that may be the source of the problem.
Hiya, can you DM me your platform ID/Steam ID URL, and your location (state, or country if outside the US) so I can take a gander? Thanks.
EDIT: Nvm got it.
It doesn't look like this IP is associated with any game server, nor does it look like it's a commercial IP. Not sure where OP sourced it from.
Hey there, I don't find this IP associated with any game servers.
Could you let me know where you found this IP?
It’s a low tornado flick
More like a dash-nado flick. Or a Tsunami flick? 🤷♂️
We have seen that Epstein has been used in various inappropriate cases, and that usage heavily leans toward content that should be filtered. Because of this and recent events, we decided to use preventative measures to keep players from abusing "Epstein."
So is "Karen" I tried saying "respect the drip Karen" in game the other day and it was censored for some reason.
Depending on where you messaged this, we won't have any influence over the filtering. If this was in Party Chat, it looks like it shouldn't be filtered at all as neither "Karen" nor "respect the drip Karen" bring up any flags.
1) This is fixed in our next update (the December/Blueprints one).
2) This bug looks really cool if you view it from the top and not the side. :D
First off, thank you for your service!
I had a really similar experience having served in the US Army. I played a ton of Halo online with my younger brother to keep in touch, and got a lot of my battle buddies into the game when we went overseas as a way to pass the time, many of whom I still talk to 10+ years later. Games can be a great way to bring people together, and this is what ultimately led me to seeking a career in game development after my time in the service. It warms my heart to hear that our team's work has had such a positive impact on the life of another veteran. Thanks for sharing your story! <3
I just can't see myself picking up the game from scratch after this long.
I would 1) Start a support ticket with Steam to regain access to your account, and 2) start a ticket with us at support.rocketleague.com about your compromised account and stolen items.
I can go back and see the server name if that would help you guys figure out what happened or what is happening
Can you DM me your Steam ID URL, and the server name? I can take it form there! Thanks. :D
I was in the server for 5 hours
