    Great game, even though crate system is not that great, I just have so much fun playing competitive This event looks like a step in a right direction

      Yeah, RL is one of my favorite games and has been for a while now (2500 hours played), but I absolutely despise crate gambling and the completely random "crafting" and loot drop systems.

      If I could simply buy all the contents of each crate (not painted or anything, just the base items) for $20 I absolutely would. But spending $1.50 per key and rolling the dice, only to wind up getting some crappy decal I already have 3 copies of, is not my idea of worthwhile so I rarely ever do it anymore. All I usually want from them is the import bodies anyways so I just trade keys directly for them since they are relatively cheap (2-3 keys for non-painted). And sadly their proposed new "Season Pass" system doesn't look much better than the crate system either. :(

      Ah well... at least these new recent events are reasonable enough and not designed specifically to milk me for all I'm worth.

      What i find incredibly annoying about Rocket League's unlock system is how inconsistent it is: nevermind the crates and keys, but the drop of any item in general feels completely arbitrary - i wouldn't mind having a bar popping up at the end of the match quantifying 'hey you have to earn x amount of points/score y goals/make z assists to get the next item or crate'.

      Having said this the event seems interesting enough, let's hope for the best!

        Yeah, I remember good old days of Dota 2 in like 2012 where you would get a drop or a set after each level I think their planned leveling system rework involves more consistent and clear drops?...

        I think their planned leveling system rework involves more consistent and clear drops? Either way I was never really interested in those, since I just trade what I want for keys

    SARPBC was one of my most played games on the PS3; it's going to be so much fun to play on that arena again. It'll be interesting to see how people will use the non-standard goal position now that people are so much better than during SARPBC.
