Taking to social media platform, X, the game’s official account relayed word it is changing the rarities of items. Going forward, common items will be change to base items, uncommon items will change to sport items, rare items will change to special items, very rare items will change to deluxe items, and limited items will change to luxury items. Again, why any of these changes are being made, we don’t know, but it is proving to be an unpopular decision by Psyonix.ย
All of this comes alongside a change to nameplates as well, though unlike the changes to the item names, the nameplate changes have received a much more positive reception. More specifically, nameplates will now have a boost indication so you can see how much boost they have at any given point. This is also means when you make a mistake, you can no longer blame it on boost.ย
With the reaction the item name changes are getting, it is possible Psyonix will backtrack on this change, but it’s unlikely. So far, Psyonix has not said a peep about the criticism it has received over the decision. If this changes, we will be sure to update the story accordingly.ย
