Gaf, I'm getting fan mail

none of you ever mentioned that they liked my play

thanks. But does 'play with friends' filter the list so those people that show up are actually playing splatoon now? Or is it just all your friends and its a crap shoot if they're playing?

everyone showing up in the list as active is currently playing Turf Wars and you can join their game

It lists all your friends, but the ones that are playing are in purple and the ones that aren't are in black. The purple ones will appear at the top, but it should be noted that if someone starts playing after you are in the play with friends menu then their name will turn purple but it won't show up at the top it will still be wherever it was before so you can just leave the menu and go back in if you don't want to go through all your friends to find that person.

I've gotten like two of those I think one of them was like "you are good please be my friend", I laughed pretty hard when I read it, but I assume it was a kid. And once they realize how terrible your connection is they won't wanna be your friend anymore.

Had the same issue 2 days in a row. Community dying?

2 - screw the end boss in single player. Finally did it, but it wasn't fun at the end, just annoying. Way too long

Agreed. Even more annoying in the Amiibo challenges with the charger and roller. Not sure I'll finish those as I don't care about the weapon unlocks.

Finished the single player last night. Pretty great end boss.

The final boss is fantastic though.

This Splatoon 64 Game would let you play as Octolings...better than real game!

This is amazing.

I doubt it, it might just be server issues.

Camp Triggerfish and the Skyscraper map seem to be the last on-disc maps. They are completed.

Matchmaking is like Mario Kart 8 public lobbies. It is shit. Once a lobby starts, it will be hard for players to join that existing lobbies through random matchmaking. Try doing this when you can and you'll see there is something up with matchmaking:
1) Go to Regular Battles and play the match.
2) Leave after you finish the match.
3) Go to Regular Battles again.

You'll see that you can join a full lobby pretty fast most of the time.

 

[TDLink]

Is the community dying? Last 2 days it takes so long to fill up a lobby.

They delayed splatfest because of problems with matchmaking. There's Wii U-wide server maintenance later today that in some regions lasts until the end of tomorrow (Monday). So something is up.

If people leave, it just makes it worse. The game probably prioritizes rooms with more people in it already.

Seriously your connection is dogshit, you just warp everywhere. Are you on 56k? I'm amazed you die at all.

HOLY FUCK INKBRUSH VARIANTS

ONE OF THEM COMES WITH BUBBLER?!

BRUH

 

[DaBoss]

You can read Japanese, so here's a better link for you.

http://pastie.org/10251471

These weapons are untranslated ones that are not in the Pastebin, I think.

 

[MouldyK]

L-3 Nozzlenose D - Burst Bombs & Kraken
H-3 Nozzlenose - Suction Bombs & Echolocator
H-3 Nozzlenose D - Point Sensor & Inkzooka

Echolocator with my Burst-Fire? I'll be happy.

 

[Timeaisis]

BRUH

Lord have mercy.

 

[DaBoss]

Inkbrush + Bubbler would be hilarious. It would be the easiest weapon to push back due to the shit range lol.

This is what people need to pay attention to.

Carbon Roller Deco - Seekers & Bomb Rush

Splatgods, please have mercy.

 

[Azure J]

Lord have mercy.

There's also one with Squid Beakons and Kraken if Octobrush is an actual Inkbrush variant.

BRUH, THIS SHIT IS REAL. WHAT THE FUCK?

WHAT.

Wait Seeker Bomb Rush?

My inner pyrotechnician/8 year old setting Bob-ombs to very high and the only item in play in Smash 64 with 200% is jumping all over the fucking room right now.

*Continues to pray for a Inkbrush with Suction Bombs and Suction Bomb Rush*

Edit: The appeal from an Inkbrush with Bubbler is the ability to play out the Ninja/Assassin role even more effectively. It'd definitely be more about PvP than generating win conditions with Mines as a sub though. (Wish they were throwable mines)

 

[Violet_0]

err no
my position is sometimes wrongly displayed for other players, so when I try to run away or hide from a sniper they get free shots at the past Me. I guess it also depends on where the other player is from (Europe or overseas) and how good their connection is. When I shoot someone and the splat symbol appears right after there was probably no lag involved, when it takes longer for the splat symbol to appear (and at a different place) and this happens frequently I leave the game
anyway I'm getting a better connection in a couple weeks

 

[MouldyK]

Normally i'm against Datamining, but it's nice to know that many weapons (at least ideas if they choose to implement) are thought of:

- Sploosh-O-Matic
- Luna Blaster
- Range Blaster
- Rapid Blaster Pro
- Carbon Roller
- Octobrush
- Bloblobber
- Bigball
- Bamboozler
- Gatling.


Anyone got ideas on what any of these can be?

 

[Azure J]

Also, N-ZAP '89 forever proving that orange zapper is best zapper. It's literally a vanilla inkbrush gun with that load out.

 

[MrBadger]

Err...I just got to the final boss of the campaign and while it was just as fun and tricky as the hype led me to believe, all he said was generic dialogue like "time to end this!" and "I'll take back what's mine"

...what happened to all the dubstep and hipster jokes when I spoiled the final boss when the game was new? Is that just in the US version?

EU got a lame dub apparently. It's US (or probably NA) only.

These weapons are untranslated ones that are not in the Pastebin, I think.

Still no new gals.

I think this "SuperBuckests" thing is the "Bigball/Bloblobber" in the Pastebin, six kinds of them. "Evil Priest" and "Devil priest" are Bamboozler? And the rest two are gatlings. So no new main weapon here.

 

[Mat-triX]

Since we now know of all the extra weapons, I must ask: Would you rather have these weapons release one-by-one to use right away (like they currently are doing)? or, would you rather them add extra EXP levels and have the weapons unlock with the levels?

Spoiler

Dispite it being extra work I actually would prefer it to be behind levels.

 

[tonyh24613]

Don't know why Neogaf is lag as hell for me.

SuperBuckets-Splash Wall-Inkstrike
SuperBuckets Nero-Ink Mine-Inkzooka
TripleBuckets-Point Sensor-Bubbler
TripleBuckets-Suction Bomb-Killer Wail
BomberBuckets-Disruptor-Seeker
BomberBuckets-Sprinkler-Kraken
Bamboozler-Point Sensor-Killer Wail
Bamboozler-Seeker-Bomb Rush
Gatling-Splash Wall-Kraken
Gatling-Burst Bomb-Inkstrike

 

[MouldyK]

You think we'll get new weapons, like...

- Sploosh-O-Matic
- Luna Blaster
- Range Blaster
- Rapid Blaster Pro
- Carbon Roller
- Octobrush
- Bloblobber
- Bigball
- Bamboozler
- Gatling

...until the August Update, which brings Custom Mode and other things...and variations of the items?

 

[DaBoss]

From the other thread, details on Rainmaker: http://pastebin.com/HNkuudWz

Sounds like reverse one-flag CTF.

My Ranked Teammates when we re on the verge of winning:

 

[noshten]

Really lovely when you lose a match like this

 

[Grakl]

Went 20-3 with the custom blaster, lmao I love this weapon

Also leak hype

That's what you get for cheating and playing in a ranked lobby 3 ranks below yours.

UPDATE: Rainmaker Mode revealed:

In {0E0000000300020000}Rainmaker{0E000000030002ffff}, both teams compete
to snag the Rainmaker.{0E000000040000}Once you've got it, the goal is to
carry it into the other team's base!

So as soon as the battle begins,
grab that {0E0000000300020000}Rainmaker{0E000000030002ffff}!

It's guarded by a shield, though,
so you'll need to bust it out first.

Once you snag it, head for the other
team's base. And be quick about it!

If you run out of time or get splatted,
the {0E0000000300020000}Rainmaker{0E000000030002ffff} will be dropped.{0E000000040000}Its shield will also reactivate.

The {0E0000000300020000}Rainmaker{0E000000030002ffff} is crazy heavy, so you
can't {0E0000000300020000}Super Jump {0E000000030002ffff}while carrying it.{0E000000040000}Your teammates will have to
watch your back!

The {0E0000000300020000}Rainmaker {0E000000030002ffff}can also shoot ink like
an {0E0000000300020000}Inkzooka{0E000000030002ffff}, so you can clear a path!

The closer you get to the enemy
base while holding the {0E0000000300020000}Rainmaker{0E000000030002ffff},{0E000000040000}the lower your {0E0000000300020000}goal distance{0E000000030002ffff} will drop.

If the battle ends without anyone
carrying the Rainmaker to the goal,{0E000000040000}the team with the {0E0000000300020000}lowest
goal distance{0E000000030002ffff} will win!

Sounds like Bomb The Base, which is neat.

 

[Totakeke]

Man, I only hope you guys won't be disappointed when the specific locked content you want won't be out for another few months. On the other hand, every new announcement is now full of hope and disappointment.

 

[Geg]

Ooh, Custom Dual Squelcher with squid beakons. Thank God, splatbombs are so useless.

 

[Grakl]

Finally got C+

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaw

 

[Seth Enosh]

I fear if there's going to be any extra single player stuff, they'll go down the amiibo route again

Callie and Marie amiibo? Or Judd? I feel like they already tapped out the amiibo stuff with the existing amiibo challenges and would need to add new missions if they wanted to do any single player stuff.

Pikmin got challenge mission DLC but I don't see that happening for splatoon.

 

[Geg]

Does the datamine say when splatfest will be back

 

[Totakeke]

Rainmaker sounds a bit too similar to tower control in terms how the overall matches will play out, no?

 

[Windom Earle]

I keep experimenting with new builds/weapon kits. So much fun. Just can't settle for a main weapon yet. It all depends on the maps.

 

[Chezzymann]

Does anyone else feel that invincible powerups like the kraken or bubble are a bad idea competitively? Anything that forces you to run away keeps things from being competitive in my opinion. Expecially if you're trying to control a section of a map and you literally cant stop the other team from pushing for a short amount of time because the whole enemy team has bubbles. Sometimes this game feels like the Mario Kart of shooters.

 

[freethoughtbubble]

Rainmaker sounds hilarious! Also, what the hell are some of these new weapon types even? What's a bamboozler? Big ball, wut? Hype hype hype

You could argue inkstrikes, bomb rushes, inkzooka, and maybe even killer wail does the same thing too. Sometimes you're close to winning then multiple inkstrikes come down and you lose the zone and get penalty.
