New map is awesomeee

 

[SmithnCo]

Inkzooka is the shit in ranked

 

[DashReindeer]

Of course, 10 minutes before this goes live, my Internet decides to completely and utterly shit the bed. Comcast will rue the day they messed with my Splatoonery.

 

[The Adder]

Won a game that went to overtime. Looks like it triggers if the team in the lead has penalty time while the team behind is in control.

 

[Kid Ska]

Aerospray RG is perfect for Splat Zones.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Its a fun mode. Too bad theres not a non-ranked version.

Oh, wait, are the modes split like that? Turf war is unranked, Splat zones is ranked? That's kind of silly.

 

[Goldenmoney]

as good as turf war is, ranked is even better. holy fuck.

 

[Mookie1515]

Anyone getting the new map in the original mode? Hasn't come up at all for me yet.

 

[Hatchtag]

Getting 0 points for losing in ranked is kind of a bummer (though I guess it balancs out getting 1800 for winning lol). Gonna stick with unranked for now.

 

[Tuck]

OH MAN WHAT A COMEBACK. They were at 12, we were way higher, but came down from like 70.

 

[MrPanic]

Ok, Splat Zones is gawdlike. :0

 

[Baliis]

Man, people on urchin underpass keep trying to stand above the control point and they're so oblivious, just go straight up the wall next to um.

 

[The Adder]

Protip:

If you have an inkstrike, go ink areas outside of the splatzone to charge your special. No one is going to stop you and it's a safe place to attack from to boot.

 

[Feltrol]

THIS IS AMAZING!

 

[EndlessSky]

The blaster is great on both these maps. Once my team is in control I can safely defend the area from bellow and around corners. New favorite weapon a little in front of the kelp scope charger

 

[fernoca]

At what level or coin balance should I start to look at the shop? I'm level 6 with 16000 coins or so, and I haven't bothered to look yet. Is there a level where good things start to unlock?

Well, at Level 4 is when you can go shopping for the first time.
After that, you unlock more things as you level and stock changes daily.

 

[Rappy]

WON BY LESS THAN 1 SEC IN OVERTIME! Already Rank C, classic splatcharger is so good at everything.

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Blaster is insane on ranked becuase of the close quarters.

 

[RedFyn]

This new map is amazing. I can jump down on people from so many places

 

[Kid Ska]

RANK C!

 

[SmithnCo]

Ranked does pay out well too.

 

[Chezzymann]

Holy fuck, I went 22-2 spamming grenades in the entrance to the zone at saltspray rig.

 

[Nosgotham]

Ha. And I'm not even playing right now.

Holy shit! Rage?

 

[MixedBeverage]

Ranked mode is amazeballs, but the randos are making it hard ... yikes.

 

[Teknoman]

Now to balance the modes to play lol.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

The connection problem is annoying the new mode is crazy I wish I could finish one

 

[Crayolan]

So it's on-disc stuff that they're just keeping away from us.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

We knew Ranked was on disc, and quite a few people suspected the first few batches of maps/weapons were already on-disc as well. The only people this surprises is the people who honestly thought they had only made 5 maps in the course of 2 years and were going to make 9 more in 2 months.

 

[Josh5890]

1428 points in the new map. I love this game!

 

[jmizzal]

oh boy the zapper is amazing lol
I just dont like its special lol

 

[K.Sabot]

Once you reach lv. 20, you can spend 30,000G to add a third slot to each of your two-star clothing pieces. So just lv. 20 + 90,000G.

Know of any way to reroll slots on a piece?

 

[Tuck]

Oh, wait, are the modes split like that? Turf war is unranked, Splat zones is ranked? That's kind of silly.

Yup. And yeah it is silly.

Honestly though, the rank doesn't seem like it matters too much. Give it a try!

 

[EndlessSky]

I just went 18-2 with the blaster lol. Best weapon in ranked.

 

[Gsnap]

Got to rank C and leveled up. Think that's good enough for now. Amazing game mode. Very different from turf wars. Different enough that they're both worth playing. I can see why they kept it from us for a while. And why they don't let low ranks in. It's a slaughter house if you don't know what's going on

 

[Rappy]

Know of any way to reroll slots on a piece?

Same way, he gives you the choice to add or reroll, only subabilities tho.

 

[arimanius]

Just beat someone 0 to 100. Easy 1800p and so much fun.

 

[Kid Ska]

Yeah really. You will get annihilated.

 

[Berna]

So how does the +seconds work? Like how are they gained?

From what I gather, you get +seconds if the enemy captures all zones after you lost control. I guess the size of the penalty is proportional to the time you had the zones in your control.

 

[beril]

Its really weird they locked a bunch of on disc content for only 3 days.

would have been way weirder if they couldn't get this done for launch, with a day 0 patch, but somehow were able to make a new level during the weekend after.

it's been pretty obvious that the delayed content rollout is deliberate, rather than the game not being finished. I expect there won't be any actual dlc until the august update

 

[Mesoian]

The N-Zap is too good. SMG that kills in 3 shots from the same range as the aerospray?

That thing is supposed to be a close range weapon.

 

[Askherserenity]

Yeah, if they weren't going to let us join friends in ranked mode, might as well made the mode available in regular matches. Huge bummer.

 

[Crayolan]

"If you wanna have fun, just stick to regular battles"

Playing with friends is no fun confirmed.

 

[Incitemaybe]

Killing 3 dudes on the other team with a land mine in ranked feels good

 

[N° 2048]

Ranked is so siiickkkk and the new gun

 

[emb]

So far I like turf war a lot better than the new mode. Turf war kinda turns the genre on its head, splat zones feels kinda like a normal shooter with a stealth element. Feels like it takes forever to swim/jump back, given the pace of the game and emphasis on kills. (granted, would probably be way more fun if I get good, sure.)

I also don't get why the modes are split along with ranked/normal. I don't really care if I get ranked or not, I just want to pick my mode. I guess it works fine for me, just weird to distinguish between ranked/normal when you're really choosing the game rules.

 

[MajorMane]

Getting put on a team with 3 Zappers and you're the only normal weapon while the entire other team is using weapons that they've been using for a long time... Feels bad, man.

 

[mohuerta]

Holy shit! Rage?

In the digital flesh

 

[J@hranimo]

THE FINAL BOSS! OMG!

SO MANY

Spoiler

JET SET RADIOOOOOOOOOO

VIBES! Best boss battle ever.

 

[ivanthebearable]

Nice my internet wants to be a shithead right when this happens.

Meh.

 

[ChrisD]

Once you reach lv. 20, you can spend 30,000G to add a third slot to each of your two-star clothing pieces. So just lv. 20 + 90,000G.

...So I'm at a disadvantage if I want to play Splat Zone because everyone I'm facing is 3-Star and I'm 1.

 

[Blak_Status]

This is CRAZY!!!
