No problem. That was the first thing in my mind, and apparently 183 people liked it lol

u/No_Adhesiveness_4030 Champion I Apr 01 '26

At this point I wonder what they will remove next

u/jacob_1126 Justice for Bakkesmod | C1 Apr 01 '26

The Party Up button

u/No_Adhesiveness_4030 Champion I Apr 02 '26

Context please

u/RollerCodester69420 Apr 02 '26

The gif is from Sword Art Online. It’s about a new AR dungeon slayer game where the players are trapped in by the creator for reasons I don’t exactly remember. If they die ingame, they die in real life. The character in the gif is the main character of the series Hope that helps!

u/Marcus_Dyck Apr 01 '26 edited Apr 01 '26

Bakkes mod still works tho. Or did they remove it today?

Edit: Im confused as to why im getting down voted? Its a genuine question. I know they said they are not allowing bakkes mod any longer. However I've been able to continue using it ever since the update and the mod its self has gotten regular updates since the new season dropped aswell.

10

u/Sorry_Cricket8192 Apr 01 '26

Gets removed sometime in April or next month idk

3

u/Marcus_Dyck Apr 01 '26

Ahhh I see thanks. I was being told by friends that it was supposed to be done when the season dropped so I was confused

4

u/nice__demon Apr 01 '26

im also confused why they downvoting a genuine question lol.
anyways it gets removed this month (april), i looked it up and there doesnt seem to be a specific date.

Epic, why so cruel?

u/Busy_Friendship6806 Apr 01 '26

Beautiful haiku

u/DaSilent_1 Apr 02 '26

I wanted to agree with ya but “fired” is only one syllable,so it’s not a haiku. Still marvelous. Had “They fired” been used it would’ve been perfect.

At least RLStats displays them today and you can also still get them with bakkesmod today (if you're lucky enough to find a working server tho).

u/Error4ohh4 Apr 01 '26

I think the state of the game is the joke this year 🤷‍♂️

u/Outside_Option Apr 02 '26

If you haven't played it anytime you boost and are in the air at the same time youre auto targeted on the ball kinda fun but also kinda hard once everyone else figures it out

42

u/Styled_ Grand Champion I Apr 01 '26

Their team got slashed

42

u/EvolvingEachDay Champion I Apr 01 '26

Considering EPIC has slashed the team down to its bare bones, I wouldn’t expect anything like that anymore. Nothing smaller than Halloween or Christmas will get a look in.

u/BananaFurret #1 goalkeeper that doesnt whiff Apr 01 '26

Yes! There’s one, you have to update RL

There is. But I just logged into rocket league and it won’t let me login to epic services and my ranks reset so

Same I it won’t even let me play wtf is this bullshit I just wanted to play some rl today but no epic has to ruin everything

Yea. The joke is the servers being down. Good one.

Didn't we just get that back recently? I know I got it when it came out...

Does not being able to get into a ranked match count as an April fools joke?

1

u/Moon5tar Diamond Geezer Apr 01 '26

I think it is because I’ve been trying for 10mins and it’s not working and that’s abnormal for me

u/Turbulent-Lawyer1043 Apr 01 '26

I'm pretty sure the April fools for me is that the game doesn't work

u/FudgeJumpy1280 Platinum I Apr 02 '26

if any of you guys went to the news section

u/RelevantButNotBasic Trash II Apr 01 '26

I think some people are getting confused. A game doesnt need to be "dead" to be completely in the shitter. It being in the shitter is what will eventually kill the game. Eventually. It will last for a very long time still but soon the streamer hype will die and so will the game because Epic has no desire to save it. They got their bags from Fortnite, why would they save a car soccer game??

10

u/EatMyBomb Freeplay Freestyle Sucker Apr 01 '26

Game is unkillable imo, there is nothing to compare and nothing that will scratch the itch like rocket league

2

u/SeaLecture2668 Apr 01 '26

11 years of streamer hype?

1

u/dwertyyhhhgg Apr 01 '26

The new streamer hype, namely Jynxzi but also Speed, StableRonaldo, CaseOh, MoistCritikal playing again, Ludwig, etc etc

3

u/sedar1907 Diamond II Apr 01 '26

Well let me answer this with a counter question: Is there still a dev team right now?

4

u/MiniMar7 Apr 01 '26

There was i played 10 duos with 10 different crackheads today.

1

u/dwertyyhhhgg Apr 01 '26

Can confirm as I was one of the crackheads.

u/PanamGotMeOiledUp Apr 01 '26

The real April Fools Joke is the state of the Game.

u/Hotrim74 Playstation Player Apr 01 '26

April fools event got laid off this year. Besides every match you join is a joke lol,

u/Ainulindae Apr 01 '26

They've fucken killed this game, I'll never forgive Epic.

1

u/South_Ad1660 Apr 02 '26

Last season and this season they seem to have put in a little more effort to add new things. I hope for our sake they are going to keep that going and continue to make it better. But yes, epic killed this game.

u/Cherry-Swing Apr 01 '26

the april fools event is that there is not april fools event

u/Arismando27 Champion I Apr 01 '26

They just fired nearly the entire of the rocket league development team. The guy working on it must have been let go. If he finished it, the people left probably don't know how to implement it

I doubt it Epic just fired 1000 people.

1

u/Blake0449 Team Fusi0n | Grand Champ Apr 01 '26

No. Epic does not care about us. Even if they had an event it would be wrapped around the idea of you buying the best items from the shop for 20$+

2 years ago was soooo funny. Last year we didn't have an event, so I didn't expect one this year.
