Splatoon |OT2| Prepare to Dye

Random thought, I want GWX to explain how he gets 1500+ points on Kelp Dome with the 52Gal so often. That gun doesn't look like something that should be dominating turf wars at that level. :lol

The only time I ever got 1500+ was actually with the 52 Gal at Kelp Dome with a 6:1 ratio (1513p, to be exact). If I can do it, he certainly can-- he is much better than I am!

Paint everything and don't die. There's no crazy secret to it. Same thing with getting 1900+ with an Aerospray or Splatomatic.
 
Ive painted everything without dieing with the aerospray and the most ive gotten is 1300 (without bonus)

Kelp Dome is the only map you can get stupidly high numbers on. There's just so much area to paint and sometimes its easy to avoid fighting.

Everyone is still depressed from E3.

E3 has distracted me. I don't get this whole "Nintendo didn't show games I wanted so now the game I liked is less appealing" thing going around. Splatoon is the same fun it was last week.

Well it's sad knowing it's the last original game on Wii U and that Nintendo is dying. :(

That should not have been your takeaway from all this. Nintendo has made some key mistakes over the past half decade (this press conference being one of them), but that doesn't mean it's dying.

I was being sarcastic to make fun of everyone else. :P

Like I said before, there's Yoshi, Devil's TURD, Mario Maker, Xenoblade, Star Fox and Project Zero which I am interested in at least a bit from the EU releases here:

And for my Xbox One? Only Forza 6.


I got enough to last until the NX. :D
 
For those of you who started to play the game from day 1, do you feel that the number of communication errors during gameplay have increased considerably since launch?

I had a pretty flawless first week with the game regarding the online, but the last days there has been lots of communication issues during gameplay. I'm on a wired connection.

I have had very very very few (less than 5) since launch, then today I had 3 in a row, and I know it wasn't my internet. Luckily I was playing turf war instead of ranked at the time.
 
Played a few games with Nozzlenose - rather enjoyed it so far but can't see myself sticking to it.

Offensively, I've had a bit of trouble adjusting to the firing speed and it's been a bit of a mixed bag. Quite like the range and noticed that when aiming down, it paints quite a decent square, which has been handy mopping up enemy patches. Best performance was in one match where we won and with 1,000 I was the lead player.
 
More or less the same experience,firetest was awesome, first week was great too, then the communications appeared, got a lot via wifi so I bought an ethernet adapter but nothing's really changed, I avoid ranked mode just for that, when I can no longer paint the floor, the end is near, and that can be really frustating in the long run, even though some days are flawless.

Here's for Violet_0, loved your sniper squid's crash at 0:15 ! :p

Dat Kraken on Kraken action! Totally NSFW!!
 
Feels good to have a 7-win streak playing at 2 a.m. with all Japanese players (apologies for the generalization, but they usually slay me when I play around this time).

Splatoon is the cure for Post-E3 Nintendo Depression.
 
God damn, I stopped playing this game for 1 week and now everyone is lvl 20 with 4 slot gear. This sucks!

Does any have tips for getting better gear other than waiting for the shops to rotate? I tried ordering, but Spyke wanted 50k!

Just gotta order them or wait for the shops to rotate. The higher slot gear only shows up in the shops when you're a higher level.

How low level are you? Are you getting matched with people around your level or with people way higher level than you? I'm curious how the level distribution is going now that I assume sales are slowing down

Just hit 10. Been matched consistently against lvl 17-20 guys. I know turf war isn't ranked, but I would love more appropriately leveled opponents.

Those are the only two ways. If you're worrying about gear you're most likely not a high enough level to even be worrying about it. Seriously, don't worry about gear (aside from the main ability) until at least level 20. Even then it's not a big deal. I've been level 20 forever and still use 2* gear in rank (currently in A).

hopefully people still play the game...
It should start picking up again now that basketball is over and e3 is ending. We had a good time last night.

No, I get the same maybe less. I don't get them very often though.
 
I just had a revelation.

When someone drags down a team
They're always a Male inkling
My brother and in-law aren't very good at the game at all and they're also Male inkling

When there's someone topping the boards in every way, they're Female inkling

I'm on to something big here

You made me do a double-take. I was thinking, "FOUR slot gear? Did I overlook something?" Then I realized that you mean three-star gear.

As for getting better gear, there were probably plenty of three-star stuff during the week you quit. Within five days I had pretty much everything I needed, and I don't order from Spyke.

Aren't your teammates 17-20 then? It really doesn't mean much. I have played against plenty of level 20 players that are terrible.
 
That feeling when you die defending the top of Saltspray and then look at the map and see your three teammates battling against one guy in the bottom.
 
That feeling when you successfully defend the bottom of Saltspray rig from two enemies by yourself and then look down at the map and see all three of your teammates at the top getting wrecked by the remaining two enemies
 
That feeling when you paint just about the whole Blackbelly Park and kill most enemies, and look at the map and notice 3 team members struggling at the spawn point.
 
That feeling when you splatted three enemies yourself thinking your team is going to take back the zone but it turns out one guy on their team has done the same to your team.
