Echo VR Glossary

PE Joust

A method of boosting from the tunnels by starting further back than the ring, then starting to regrab before the tunnel doors open, allowing you to generate more speed than using the launch ring.

Stacks/Stacking

Whirly Twirly

The act of using pitch and/or roll in conjunction with a shot in order to obfuscate the angle of release, making it more difficult for a goalie or defenseman to track.

Trennis

A game played where the trench geometry/location would be used as a court, players would take turns back-and-fourth slapping the disc. The goal of the game is to slap the disc and have the disc fly out on the opponents side/go past the opponents.

Old/Patched-out

Parachuting

A technique used where grabbing onto your back accessory, reduces your player speed to 0.0 m/s. This was able to be preformed in the days prior to the first Echo Pass release. This was patched out after it became prevalent in public matches.

PTS/Public Testing Server

On January 22nd, 2021, Ready At Dawn posted an application for players to test the first versions of the Echo Pass. This was going to be hosted on different servers of Echo VR for testers, seperate from normal Echo VR. Hence the name, Public Testing Servers, or PTS for short. The Public Testing Servers went live on January 25th, and Ready At Dawn would continue to run the servers and continue to add applicants from time to time. The servers would close on February 18th, 2021, for the official release of season 1 of the Echo Pass. Prior to the launch of the Echo Pass, the Echo VR community soon saw the new tints were unaffective and the new Echo Chassis colors can be easily mistaken for another team color. Another PTS application would be opened on April 2nd, 2021, and the PTS servers would be re-opened for another test on April 8th, 2021. The PTS servers would continue to run until April 12th, 2021, and to this day, there has not been another Public Testing Server.
