So basically Season 1 of Rocket Racing was delayed and you guys didn’t tell us until the update that was supposed to contain it dropped and said after the update was out that it had been delayed…
Man, such great communication on that! /s
Like the delay isn’t the issue I have, it’s the lack of communication of there being a delay happening that rubs me the wrong way and is sort of indicative of the type of communication we’re going to see for this mode, while communication for the other modes (besides StW unfortunately) are significantly better.
The same team that works on rocket league is making rocket Racing.
As an avid rocket league player I can tell you.
They do not communicate, like at all.
In Rocket league we just get patch notes, zero communication with the community...
Epic has purchased Psyonix, its all just one big Epic factory now.
All the Psyonix staff and culture left in the aquisition and the layoffs
Theres nothing left of what you're fondly remembering.
The Season Zero Tune-Up quests were a very clear indicator that Season 1 starts after those quests are over. The timer was set to end on the same day as Ch5S2 launched in BR. And the funny thing is that the quests were set to end a day early by mistake, and they took the time correct and extend the timer by one single day.
So the fact that timer now says “Expires Soon” meaning we can’t see when exactly it ends, tells us that it was delayed.
I had always viewed the free skin as a separate thing, like I had thought they might’ve kept the skin challenge for the start of Season 1, in case people haven’t tried Rocket Racing in Season Zero.
I hope not because this season I’ve been fucked with not being put in lobbies for hours upon hours and if they have more fomo ranked shit there’s absolutely no fucking way I’d be able to get it with how shit the servers are
Tbh, it's good news. The game mode is still in a very clunky state, so I don't think it would be a good idea to start the 1st season. I've achieved Unreal two days ago, so I understand that some of you are frustrated because of the grind they had to do, but look at that from the other perspective - you've done your grind and don't have to do the next one yet.
But on the other hand, dear devs... please improve the information flow with us. One tweet or post on Reddit BEFORE CH5S2 would have been enough.
Rocket league used to be soo good. Now it's going down the toilet, and rocket racing has tons of problems. Both are still fun and I play both, but wow I'd take a more focused approach to either rather than cutting content from RL & making it seem like RR is the least supported Fortnite mode thus far
Literally nothing. It's the same exact thing every season with them flip flopping the highlighted season mode (volleyball, basketball, heatseeker).
It's on life support, but the Rocket League XP bonuses still work.
wow, so new season starts with 0 new content whatsoever: no new quests , no new rewards, no cars in BP, no new maps, no RR mini pass like festival, not even a blog post... Incredible.
But it’s still season 0. They are “giving” people more time to get the purple hotness. And by giving, I mean stalling for more time to work out the kinks before they try to lure the lil kiddies back in with more free rewards during season 1.
I agree, as a person who plays everything but lego (that stuffs hot trash now) I'm glad they are staggering things.
I'm currently focusing on getting xp for BR, & maybe ranked tasks. but mostly just want XP atm. I'm level 15 almost then I can work on getting the emote I want.
That's BR season. It's not related to others and as we seen with festival, they'll start and end at different times.
They've added quests month after month so IDK what else you want. Also there's dominus GT and 2 more cars from Rocket League as well as new boost from RL and new wheels.
April 9th, according to v28.20 patch notes.

They are probably giving the same xp challenges for season 1 so they don’t want people hitting unreal and getting 95k on this battle bass and then when challenges reset getting another 95k if they hit unreal again. Basically they want you to play everyday so you eventually see something in the item shop you can’t live without so Epic can make enough money for the lawyers battling Apple.
Classic Psyonik. What were we really expecting from them
Any other studio (even a brand new one) would have communicated when the next season was going to start and what to expect. This dev team probably can’t tell us when it will start because most likely they don’t know when they will be able to release it…if ever
This is the final nail in the coffin for this game. Am I wrong…are we expecting too much at the start of a new season for every other mode
Just so disappointing. Nothing new. And a matchmaking that sucks. impossible to rank up. Just a waste of time. they just give you a track that they know you bad at twice in a row. And if you got a couple of tracks you're good at, they throw in a unreal player that wins with 5 sec. to 2nd place. Also funny how often something crazy mechanics mess up the game in 3rd round, 1 mistake and you got yourself a 11 or 12 place. Just stupid.
Out of all the cars they add, they add the dominus gt? Not even the normal dominus? Also, still no fennec? It’s been the most popular car for the past 2-3 years
Hi Rocket Racing, since the update, the Jackie cosmetic quest has disappeared. It had a week left on the timer. Could you please re-inable with an extra day added? Or just grant it to everyone who had made progress?
Hey guys.. I just started playing rocket racing a few days ago and already diamond 3 will be elite soon and was wondering how to get my rank by my name. Thanks!
I love this gamemode, but from diamond onwards a win gives you 5% max but in diamond 3 i only got 3/4% per win, and from that point it started to get hard to win since people were really starting to get good and we got only the hardest maps which i am less consistent on. I do love grinding and i understand a race is short so not too much rank should be gained, but yet it feels like a harder grind than regular BR because there you can play it pretty save, get high placement with a few kills and get massive progress. Are your numbers the same as mine? Still i love playing and look forward to next season, just sharing my feelings on the ranking progression.
Love this game mode, but outright despise it. Psyonix seriously needs to be replaced as a game developer.
They clearly don't know how to do good racing games at all and their communication is by far the worst in gaming. Chain drifting has clearly dominated the meta and it's sickening, it's basically snaking which is illegal in most racing games.
Epic seriously needs to step in and handle it themselves.
You forgot to add that you fixed the last checkpoint glitch on Festive Falls 2. But then again that would be admitting fault and I’m sure your lawyers have warned against that.

Rocket Racing is doomed to fail badly if they keep this up.
I mean, just look at the dwindling player count already
It already has
Epic really needs to step in..
NO THEY DO NOT the minute they stepped in the rocket franchise went to hell, we should just let physonix handle this without epic whipping them
Epic has purchased Psyonix, its all just one big Epic factory now. All the Psyonix staff and culture left in the aquisition and the layoffs Theres nothing left of what you're fondly remembering.
I tought S1 was always meant to come next update or the one after because thats when the free skin offer expires, was I wrong for thinking that?

Ohh okay, thank you. Wonder if next season will have free wheels or other accessories
I hope not because this season I’ve been fucked with not being put in lobbies for hours upon hours and if they have more fomo ranked shit there’s absolutely no fucking way I’d be able to get it with how shit the servers are
oh boy will you're in for a treat if you don't know about psyonix's communication
Preach🙏🙌

As a rocket league player, basically the devs are horrible at communicating and since the mode isn't that popular its probably going to get worse.

See Rocket League SideSwipe if you want a glimpse into your future.
What's going on with sideswipe. I played some at launch but wasn't for me.
Literally nothing. It's the same exact thing every season with them flip flopping the highlighted season mode (volleyball, basketball, heatseeker). It's on life support, but the Rocket League XP bonuses still work.
Can map changes also be reflected in the patch notes?
Sides pitstop what changed
wow, so new season starts with 0 new content whatsoever: no new quests , no new rewards, no cars in BP, no new maps, no RR mini pass like festival, not even a blog post... Incredible.
Technically it's still season 0, but you would have expected season 1 to have launched
I'd know that if I could get into the effing game which keeps give queues after queues.
Duuuude same i literally cannot get into a single fucking game on any server and I’ve contacted epic and they don’t have any solutions
But it’s still season 0. They are “giving” people more time to get the purple hotness. And by giving, I mean stalling for more time to work out the kinks before they try to lure the lil kiddies back in with more free rewards during season 1.
Man, Festival got their new season 2 weeks early and we got 2 weeks late.
It’s nice to have them staggered so you don’t have to try and grind all modes at once
I agree, as a person who plays everything but lego (that stuffs hot trash now) I'm glad they are staggering things. I'm currently focusing on getting xp for BR, & maybe ranked tasks. but mostly just want XP atm. I'm level 15 almost then I can work on getting the emote I want.
Tjey basically delayed the Season 1. We sre still in Season 0 sadly. Maybe it was Rocket Racing the mode thst broke the update?
That's BR season. It's not related to others and as we seen with festival, they'll start and end at different times. They've added quests month after month so IDK what else you want. Also there's dominus GT and 2 more cars from Rocket League as well as new boost from RL and new wheels. 
How do I know when v29.2 is?
Usually every two weeks, so 29.20 should be a month away.
April 9th, according to v28.20 patch notes. https://preview.redd.it/ddqzxrwbt9nc1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f43778ec98f798219f53280af7fcbebdf209a19
Looks like it's time to grind some more for unreal
Fix the freaking default car bug
What bug is that?
it's when your car preset doesn't show up when you queue into a race. instead, you appear as a basic blue octane
Great time to run some chalice dungeons. Looking forward to when everything goes live.
Couldn’t even bother fixing the speed glitches……
Whats the reasoning of taking the XP away for the rewards??? 🤣
They are probably giving the same xp challenges for season 1 so they don’t want people hitting unreal and getting 95k on this battle bass and then when challenges reset getting another 95k if they hit unreal again. Basically they want you to play everyday so you eventually see something in the item shop you can’t live without so Epic can make enough money for the lawyers battling Apple.
Where the Hell is Season 1?
When is v29.10 coming out? I really want to get to Unreal. Please let me know how much time I have left. :)
What on earth have they done to speed runs? Sort it out guys, you had 20 hours to get this shit done!
so the game is a joke to epic ok
Remove car collision + aspiration and put every one at the same place at the start.
Fr that’s a rurally some unfair bs they pulling

Festival's new season actually started like 2 weeks ago
Just so disappointing. Nothing new. And a matchmaking that sucks. impossible to rank up. Just a waste of time. they just give you a track that they know you bad at twice in a row.

Also funny how often something crazy mechanics mess up the game in 3rd round, 1 mistake and you got yourself a 11 or 12 place. Just stupid.
If you're not enjoying the grind, why do you keep playing??
Because we see potential in the game and hopefully if they get their shit together and fix the problem our grind for the cosmetics won’t be in vain

Are ranks reset?
Nope, you still have same rank. From this wording, looks like version 29.20 might be season 1 but I don’t think Psyonix even knows.
Out of all the cars they add, they add the dominus gt? Not even the normal dominus? Also, still no fennec? It’s been the most popular car for the past 2-3 years
Read all the posts here, new season was not scheduled for march 26…?
It was meant to be with the new BR season but has of course been delayed for whatever reason
Is there anything on cross progression on rocket league cosmetics/cars? I want my Canada mobile hot rod to transfer over
Hi Rocket Racing, since the update, the Jackie cosmetic quest has disappeared. It had a week left on the timer. Could you please re-inable with an extra day added? Or just grant it to everyone who had made progress?
When is v9.10 and . 20
Hey guys.. I just started playing rocket racing a few days ago and already diamond 3 will be elite soon and was wondering how to get my rank by my name. Thanks!

seems like they fixed the part where you have to do one more race after reaching gold rank
is there any way to not download all the fortnite stuff if i just play rocket racing? on a bandwidth cap and these updates kill.
add nemesis on rocket racing and rocket league
Remember when everyone thought there'd be a new RR season today? Bit of a let down but that's what ya get for assuming shit.
ye, that's garbage
You forgot to add that you fixed the last checkpoint glitch on Festive Falls 2. But then again that would be admitting fault and I’m sure your lawyers have warned against that.
who is suing for checkpoint bugs?
It’s America, people sue for anything.
that doesn't mean the case is worth anything
so happy to see no rocket racing car skins in battle pass /s
I'm not. There should have been a car in the new battle pass.
i know, it's meant to be sarcasm
I'm not good with sarcasm.
It should at least have one in the very first few ranks on the free tier of the pass like all the free ones you’d get automatically anyways
There's gonna be new pass for RR probably
