GGs meppi!

And man, I am now in church of the .96 gal. So damn good! <3

 

[Munkyspace]

Poor Drake. Started at the bottom and he disconnected.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Level 20 at last! Now i need some money to 30000 and i can do judds trick

 

[Teasing_Pink]

Ugh, so many teammates snatching defeat from the jaws of victory in the same manner as Battlefield games...get control of map, and instead of holding the middle at a choke point, the team gets ocd and overextends to try and spawn camp, which inevitably leads to our team getting flanked and screwed in the final seconds.

Been watching this same phenomenon lose matches in various games for 20 years, and it's still as infuriating as the first time.

 

[Cuburt]

Ranked battles are sooooo good!

Can't wait to the other modes if this is a taste of what is to come.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

No
Octovalley on gamepad

Thanks

Also no way to use the Pro controller instead of the gamepad?

 

[Chezzymann]

Man, fuck the kraken. Its so cheap, especially in ranked. Just spam it and everyone on the other team in the area is dead no matter what.

Uh swim away?

Nope, only local co-op battle dojo.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Have been having lot of fun for the first time on tank mode. The skatepark map with two zones is MUCH more fun and tactic than the one with one zone only.

 

[phanphare]

so for the spyke/judd thing I go to spyke, buy an extra slot, then I go cash out my hot streak with judd?

 

[Kouichi]

Uh swim away?

Man trying to swim away from a Kraken is so much fun. It gets so tense.

 

[brianmcdoogle]

I think I'm going to give up on ranked. I've had people quit and do nothing halfway through a game. It's getting frustrating to keep losing by large margins as a result.

 

[Barryman]

Are these unbearable connection issues a problem with my wireless network, or the game in general?

 

[woopWOOP]

Testing an aerospray with and without damage perks... Three damage perks made it 24.9 per shot and none made it 24.5

Not worth it at all, lol

Yeah, I heard the Attack/Defense (sub)boosts are a waste. I wonder if the others are any good either then? 0.3% better defense or 0.3% faster squidjumping wouldn't be a big deal to me

Either way, guess I better reroll my triple defense boots...

I'm off now by the way. GGs everyone

 

[Timeaisis]

Oh fuck I didn't realize Judd gives you money. I only ever talk to him at the beginning of my play session.

 

[Violet_0]

communication error

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Nope, only local co-op battle dojo.

Damnit

Thanks for the help.

EDIT: was wrong. Spyke then Judd.

 

[phanphare]

Judd > Spyke > Judd

wait, what?

 

[Sendou]

Man trying to swim away from a Kraken is so much fun. It gets so tense.

That's what I do and afterwards just easily take them out. Worst special.

 

[Zero²]

Try playing another game, like Mario Kart 8. If it keeps the same, it's you.
At least it works for me

 

[WALKMAN04]

I'm experiencing some terrible lag right now

 

[Violet_0]

Judd > Spyke > Judd

Spyke -> Judd

don't talk to Judd first

 

[PreyingShark]

Damage Up doesn't let you splat in fewer hits but it does counter Defense Up. Without Damage Up, a single Defense Up (Main I think) turns a .52 Gal from a 2HKO into a 3HKO. Stuff like that.

So Defense Up is legit but Damage Up is best kept to sub abilities.

 

[Broritos]

Does Judd refund all of my money or only up to 30k?

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

BTW invisible swimming is one of the best perks ever, really useful against good chargers if used properly.

 

[Munkyspace]

wait, what?

Talk to Spyke, do whatever it is you had to do, go talk to Judd.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

Tried out ranked and Splat Zone is really really not fun.

 

[Chezzymann]

Uh swim away?

Its kind of hard to do that when the other team has more ground than you and you're trying to take it back

 

[Totakeke]

Testing an aerospray with and without damage perks... Three damage perks made it 24.9 per shot and none made it 24.5

Not worth it at all, lol

If you had one more you'd splat in four shots rather than five. Sounds super worth it to me.

 

[Speedwagon]

I buy everything.

Same. I'm not really concerned with stat enhancements right now. I just want to collect everything.

 

[donkey show]

Spyke -> Judd

don't talk to Judd first

Ah cool deal. I read that wrong then.

 

[GustyGardens]

Listening to the Giant Bombcast and they're really positive about the game. Their biggest complaint is that you can't switch loadouts between spawns or matches. They mention voice chat, but they're really not into it.

And some people was saying in anaother thread : "it's not like in the other shooters games! It's for kids and it's not an FPS but TPS"

Yeah, right... said the same guys who just play like in Battle field or COD, lol

 

[phanphare]

Talk to Spyke, do whatever it is you had to do, go talk to Judd.

ok cool thanks

 

[Pappasman]

Seems like a lot of people are having connection problems at the same time.

Sub abilities have less effect.

 

[ViviOggi]

Man, fuck the kraken. Its so cheap, especially in ranked. Just spam it and everyone on the other team in the area is dead no matter what.

If there's kraken kids in the game always make sure to ink escape paths around you and watch the glow. Unless you're using a high damage weapon or ambushing from behind just don't engage glowing roller scrubs, they'll just press R3 ez when you go in head-on with shitty rapid-fire weapons, especially with high latency. If push comes to shove it's still doable to juke the kraken outside of narrow pathways, dodge two jumps and they'll either hastily look for another target or try hunting you down and end up wasting their special. Then just splat them once they turn back to normal.

That being said Jr. and Krak-On Roller are absolutely babby's first weapons.

Ah, alright, thanks for the clarification!

Now I just need a list of brands and what subabilities have a higher rate to appear with those so I can plan my ULTIMATE BATTLE GEAR!

 

[Sendou]

Its kind of hard to do that when the other team has more ground than you and you're trying to take it back

Then you are not playing very smartly. I mean something somewhere has gone wrong if you can quickly retreat where you came from using squid.

 

[Violet_0]

I'm experiencing some terrible lag right now

after I joined the game?

 

[daydream]

time for my daily splatoon after dark (wish i could play during the day)

will try ranked first and then join you guys later on

 

[Totakeke]

People keep wanting loadouts but that's like another 15-30 seconds every game not playing!

 

[Rainy]

My team just won 73% to 6% in turf war. Biggest margin of victory I've seen lol.

 

[phanphare]

fuck yeah, that worked! thanks yall! time to add slots to my gear that actually looks good.

 

[SmithnCo]

If you had one more you'd splat in four shots rather than five. Sounds super worth it to me.

I might go with a defense up on main and hopefully live long enough to get one more shot in... In theory.

 

[Shauni]

Played a little more of ranked. Got in a match that the timer went over and still only got 185p, just nonsense. Guess I won't be going into that mode again until I max out my level and the gear I'm wearing. Totally baffled at that.

Here you go:

9+ games!? Damn, I think my max is 4. I usually do pretty decent myself, but due to the randomized nature of the game, I don't even see how that's possible since you're bound to get a bum team here and again. Or have people found a way to bypass the random aspect?

 

[PotionBleue]

Does Judd refund all of my money or only up to 30k?

He refunds all what you've spent at Spyke.
