1: i was accidentally nice to the gas station attendant so they remembered me the next time i came in. now i can never go back there. it's been weeks. you suggesting i play more than 1 game with a person is like asking me to wipe my face on a toilet seat. i play one game and move on. i call people by their colors so i don't accidentally remember a name. i've long since turned off my friend thing thankfully.

2: you can get pubbies to do fun things. convince them to race across the map, trying to engage them in a story (i've been trying to convince people that none of it is real, that we're all stuck in a video game). one day i WILL burn down lavish lair. i got three out of four to grab gas cans and cars and blew up about 80% of it.

Yeah, it’s weird and I can admit it’s definitely my problem and not the people doing it, but it is that way :iiam:

I play with pubbies pretty regularly but accept that it's a hot mess and embrace it. It's basically a middle school playground with guns and the chaos and dysfunction is a big part of the appeal to me. Occasionally something magical happens though, like a few times I've been on a team that just can't agree on a landing spot and we split into pairs on opposite side of the map, but each pair does really good teamwork and we meet up 15 minutes later and clean up the rest of the map.

i was having fun earlier doing a "pacifist" run with the aang skin with my loadout being only the 4 bending mythics and cabbages as my 5th. too bad there was no cool avatar state or something if you collect all 4 at the time same. the air wheel is fun and feels faster than cars.

Earth bending is wild to play in zero build.

Air bending helped when I needed to traverse very fast.

Fire bending needs more burning the area/spread damage

But the water bending is balanced enough to work.

Just completed the water quests so I can get that big buffalo

Fire bending is the only one I felt “meh” about. I like the big area splash but the individual blasts just didn’t feel great. Maybe more damage?

All the others I like. The insta wall with earth bending is great in no build as said above.

Air bending is just the hamster ball all over again, but I like it. It goes up surprisingly steep hills

I've been enjoying water bending. It's been replacing my pistol/smg slot. Comes in clutch sometimes deep into the round when you need some quick heals, even works driving through water too.

Honestly I’m starting to like air bending more than the other. Just hitting it to NOPE out of a bad encounter has saved my rear end multiple times this morning while playing.

Also take some flowberry before you use it. Zooooooommmm

Waterbending works at surprisingly long distances too.

Airbending is what I take though, its unlimited use and high speed sprint options are awesome. You can use it like a car without the insane amount of noise a car makes.

My move with it right now is to rapidly sneak up on people with it, jump, switch to the shotgun in the air and plug them on my way down. It catches a lot of people off guard

every bending type is 100 times better on the motorcycle.

except air which is for escaping if you lose your motorcycle

edit: if you use earthbending to throw a car at a person it does 51 damage. just full on face full of car: 51 damage.

It kind of feels like something got hosed up with rocket racing monetization. Idk how we haven't seen a an actual car skin or some icon movie car.

But I've heard there might be some sort of pass coming to the mode

The Racing Pass launched last week and it's rubbish.

Supposedly the BttF time machine and the Batmobile are coming to it soon but I expect them to be priced too highly.

For me, the problem with Rocket Racing, is it just feels like a precursor to what Fortnite will eventually do and fold all of Rocket League into it, so it's underbaked as a new experience whilst also feeling I'm late to the game.

I like Rocket Race, it just feels a little bare bones. They should really do a Mario Kart GP like setup for parties/unranked racing. If they did, they could have team/squad scoring for GPs.

My problem with rocket racing is it’s too shallow. It’s fun for what it is, but it seems like there isn’t more there

To be fair I don’t play it, but when you start playing Fortnite for instance it’s immediately obvious there is so much more depth to it than what you initially see

It feels like they wanted to release all the new modes at once but racing was the least developed and they just said "gently caress it, ship it"

It’s this. Do more with it. It’s a worse Mario kart than Mario kart, it’s a worse wreckfest than wreckfest, it’s a worse assetto corsa than assetto corsa. It feels a little like rocket league without soccer

What’s it doing to be interesting?

it always requires exact aim but if you get a hit it's super easy to spam waterbending "miss miss miss hithithithit"
firebending is super useful if you remember to twist around.
they're all super useful at the right distance.
i'm going to perfect these just in time for them to leave forever

Shockwave grenade boosts

Whatever loot there is in BR this chapter / patch should have something corresponding in Rocket Racing
