Update 3.0: Followers, Clips, Discussions, Feed & More

We are excited to unveil the last final big update we've worked on for more than 1.5 years for the RL Garage app and website, packed with an array of new features and enhancements that will greatly improve your Rocket League community and trading experience.

While trading will be removed from Rocket League in a few days, we didn't want to keep all the trading improvements this update provides for ourselves, but still release them to be used in the last couple of days of trading.

UPDATE: We have just released a 3.0.3 update on both iOS and Android. This update fixes all of the crashes many users are experiencing and reverts the new trade filter changes. We apologize for releasing the filter in this state. Unfortunately the new filter affected a lot of other areas of the mobile app like trade creation/editing, design features, item alerts and the inventory/wishlist functionality. If you experienced any isssues with the new 3.0 update please make sure to update to 3.0.3.

 

Apart from many new trading features, we added lots of new non-trading features, like following, clips, community discussions and design contests. Let's explore the changelog and discover all the new additions:

 

One of the most significant features of this update is Following. Now, you can stay connected with other users on RL Garage by following their activity on designs, rank updates, highlights, trades and more. Never miss out on the latest happenings and stay up to date with all of your Rocket League friends. Why not give me a follow?

 

We also added a new Clips feature, allowing you to upload your best Rocket League highlights to RL Garage. Share your epic moments with fellow players, receive recognition for your skills, and engage in discussions surrounding the shared clips. You can even use the Postparty integration to easily share your Rocket League clips directly to RL Garage.

 

We understand the importance of community interaction after the removal of Trading, which is why we have introduced Discussions - a forum-like feature enabling you to discuss all topics related to Rocket League. Share your thoughts, upload images, create polls, and even post memes. Connect with like-minded players, gather valuable insights, and foster a vibrant community spirit.

 

Similar to the item shop and the playlist population features on RL Garage, we've added ingame challenges to the explore page to allow you to check all current weekly, seasonal and event challenges without launching Rocket League on the go.

 

You can now participate in Design Contests and showcase your creative prowess. Take part in exciting competitions and stand a chance to win Rocket League item prizes. Unleash your artistic talents and make a name for yourself in the RL Garage design community.

 

The new Wishlist functionality gives you the opportunity to save some items you're looking for.

 

Engaging in direct conversations with other users is now more expressive thanks to Custom emoji & GIFs in DMs. You can now send custom emoji and GIFs to other users, adding a touch of personalization and fun to your conversations.

 

Staying connected with ongoing discussions on posts becomes easier with the introduction of Comment alerts. Receive notifications whenever someone comments on your trades, designs, clips, discussions, or articles. Manage your notifications effectively and engage with the community effortlessly. You can also individually disable notifications for your own posts.

 

Our new Twitch integration allows you to keep your followers up to date when going live. By linking your Twitch account to RL Garage, you can notify your RL Garage followers whenever you go live. Expand your audience, share your gaming experiences, and build a dedicated community around your gameplay.

 

We've started working on a new Desktop app to offer the well known RL Garage experience on Windows. The new desktop app allows you to trade, learn more about the item you just got from a drop and check out your updated ranks on the post match screen in Rocket League.

 

People often asked us what we're currently working on for RL Garage. Now you can always see what's up next by visiting our new Roadmap, showing what we plan to do next, currently work on and what we finished recently. You can create your own Feature Requests in discussions.

 

We value community feedback and contributions, which is why we have included a link to the app translations manager. Now, anyone can contribute to the app translations, making RL Garage more accessible to a global user base.

 

For our Premium users, we have introduced Recurring tournament reminders. Set reminders for your in-game tournaments based on your own schedule. Never miss out on the action and prepare yourself for thrilling Rocket League tournaments.

 

Recognizing and appreciating community contributions is essential, which is why we have introduced Awards. You can now award other users' comments, designs, clips, and discussions when you feel they have created exceptional content. Awards require RL Garage Coins and serve as tokens of recognition within the community.

 

Speaking of RL Garage Coins, they play a crucial role in our update. RL Garage Coins can be used to gift awards to other users, unlocking premium features, and enhancing your RL Garage experience. You can acquire coins through various means, including purchasing them directly or earning them through free challenges.

 

Our commitment to improving user experience extends to the addition of an informative FAQ page. Find answers to commonly asked questions, and get the information you seek.

 

Managing your trades becomes easier with the addition of several new features. Now, you can search your own trades using the Search your own trades filter, making it simpler to find and edit specific trades in your trade list. The Drag & Drop trade editor allows you to effortlessly move items within your trade, providing a easier way or sorting your items.

 

For collectors, the new Trades from users you follow feature is a game-changer. By limiting your trade search to the users you follow, you can easily find the trades that interest you the most. This functionality streamlines the trading process and ensures you're always engaging with the trades that align with your preferences.

 

To enhance trade management further, we built the Multi-trade editor. With this feature, you can select multiple trades at once, enabling actions such as disabling trades, moving them to your vault, or performing bulk actions. This saves you time and effort, allowing for greater trade efficiency.

 

Ensuring clarity in communication, the Trade & item reference in messages feature makes it easy to reference specific trades in your conversations. You and your trading partner can quickly identify the trade being discussed, eliminating confusion and enhancing trade discussions.

 

The introduction of the "Only online" trade filter enables you to filter trades, displaying only those from users who are currently online on RL Garage. Connect with active traders instantly and your profit.

 

When it comes to sharing trades outside of RL Garage, we have you covered as well. The new Copy trades as Discord formatted text feature allows you to copy your trade details as Discord formatted text, making it effortless to share your trades in Discord communities and engage with a broader audience.

 

To safeguard our community, we also added the Scam Checker already known from our website to our mobile app. This feature allows you to check if a user on RL Garage has been convicted of scamming, enabling you to make informed decisions while trading and enhancing overall safety.

 

In terms of database enhancements, decals are now group by body, allowing for easier navigation and item management. Furthermore, the addition of folders in the item database ensures you can stay find items with convenience.

Lastly, we have integrated RL Garage and Steam further to enhance the user experience. Now, you can open Steam profile URLs directly in the Steam App, creating a seamless integration between RL Garage and the Steam platform.

This update aims to elevate your Rocket League experience while fostering a thriving community of Rocket League enthusiasts. Download the latest version of the RL Garage app (Apple App Store, Google Play Store) to unlock a world of new possibilities. Happy trading, designing, discussing, and gaming!

Note: Some premium features may require a subscription.

Great metaphor 😁😭. Yeah an unwelcomed shift is about to unfold on the 5th that will affect many content creators and platforms like RLG. But when I think about it, I believe that RLG is and will be the only RL specific address, discord and Reddit and other social media are not RL specific. This is Hub number 1 for everything RL, it’s well designed, user friendly and building up a diverse community. There is a great hope for RLG.

This is, by far, the best update RLG has seen. It is saddening to see it come at the end of the Trading era, but I am glad it has finally come out for everyone to enjoy. It was a blast seeing the new features roll out, and testing them with the Beta Tester team. Vicegold and the whole team deserve a standing ovation at the very least; what an update, guys. I want to encourage all RLG users to keep using the platform; the effort the devs have put into it is astounding, and it has for sure become the best platform for anything Rocket League related.

As much as I want to enjoy this update I can’t. It’s completely broken for me. I can’t open most tabs without crashing the app. I can’t edit trades, I can’t msg people. My trading has come to a complete halt for the past 24h as the app is completely unusable.

@vicegold I just saw the devs have to approve the clip or the discussion first, that's why I thought it would be an error. Maybe add a small note like "please wait until the devs have approved your discussion"?
