Support NeoGAF

[Wamb0wneD]

So I have a few questions.
First: is there a way to show GAF my friendcode without people without an account being able to see it?
Second: I got the first reward in Salmon run and have no clue what it does or where i can find it.
Am I doing something wrong or why do i only have one upgrade in single player while allready in zone 3 and 4 full salmon runs? The game tells me to upgrade before i get to zone 2 and i had like 700 eggs at that point.
What are the golden eggs for? Once we managed 51 and I don't see them anywhere.

 

[ILoveMcChickens]

Is anyone running into a bug where the game will absolutely not let you play with the Joycons attached to the Switch? It keeps prompting me with the press L + R button screen. If I detach the Joycons or go to the Pro Controller, it's fine.

 

[JJShadow]

Tokens let you buy food. You need Sea Snails from Splatfests to get extra slots but some clothing comes with extra slots.

Thanks! I think I'll stick to the Salmom Run shirt till the next Splatfest then lol

You can wrap your friendcode in an email link so only people that quote your post can see it (like in the OP).
Get your rewards from the counter to the left of the Salmon Run entrance.
You upgrade your weapons at the orange box thing at the beginning of World 1. (is this what you mean?)
You need a certain amount of golden eggs to continue to the next wave of enemies. Any extra give you more exp.

Bonus?

I'll need to setup a Splatoon 2 LAN party in the future.

The matchmaking has been so garbo.

 

[SuperBowser]

Does anyone know how to use squid beakons? I place them but can't work out how to jump there. It's making me very sad.

Haha, that puts our Mario Kart DS setup to shame at work all those years ago.

 

[DNAbro]

ohh I'm getting my ass kicked in Splat Zones.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

Aaack having horrid team mates really makes the game maddening, getting 1200 points but getting absolutely gang banged by 3 dudes every time is a shit feeling, then you see all 3 other team mates with sub 400 scores and no kills

 

[Mr. Hyde]

Splatoon pro controller is up on Amazon. I thought about getting it but I play primarily on handheld. Enjoy if you get it!

 

[Zafir]

The matchmaking has been so garbo.

The way teams are decided too.

Yesterday I was in a match with 3 level 1s, the game decided it was a good idea to put me on a team with all 3 of them.

I did pretty decent that match but I'm not THAT good to carry the whole game. So yeah, we lost.

 

[Semajer]

Is Paygrade in Salmon Run essentially difficulty? Does it stop at 200%?

 

[Charlie0108]

Just done the first story level with the Gattling Gun. I hate it.

 

[KtSlime]

So I caved today and went to my local Geo to pick up the Aori and Hotaru double pack amiibo, my first amiibos. Hope I get some cool gear.

 

[RulkezX]

Do more clothing options unlock at some point ?

 

[octopiggy]

Shops replenish at midnight. You can also order from the app.

Also I thought this game is supposed to balance on weapons. But I';ve been like on too many teams that don't have any range vs teams that have range.

 

[Blunoise]

Please use your supers in salmon run folks.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

And I can't wait for all the good players to rise out of freaking C tier.

I had multiple 3 roller teams.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Got the Splatoon black case with pink/green zippers today 💅

Also gave my physical copy to my friend and bought a digital copy so I have someone to play with LOL

 

[MassiveNights]

Pretty addicted to this game, finishing top on a winning side a lot today with the roller and it feels good!

 

[Adam Prime]

Sorry man, I've played three times and have forgot about them almost every time.

 

[snoopeasystreet]

I just realised something:

The squid's mouth is the kid's butt

🤔

 

[unrealist]

Is there an equivalent of a shotgun in this game?

 

[Adam Prime]

I'm really impressed with the motion controls, a lot. You can crank up the sensitivity to max, and play with split Joycons and essentially never have to use the R-stick. You can flick your and press Y to spin the camera so fast, and moving the your hand hand feels like pointer controls.

That said, I still prefer Joycons in a grip because it's more comfortable. But all three controls methods (handheld, joycons split, joycon grip) all work really really well.

Is there an equivalent of a shotgun in this game?

Yup, the paint bucket. You unlock it at Lv ~5-6, don't remember.

 

[Conkerkid11]

Feel like I just lost Salmon Run solely because of the weapon they gave me. Have no idea what to do with sniper rifles or what I think might have been a rocket launcher or something. Terrible weapons.

 

[CrazedProfessional]

I dunno why they gave the Aerospray MG those fucking spam bombs as a special because the gun itself already crushes turf war but that special really fucks up your team if the enemy has multiple Aerosprays which is really fucking common.

 

[-shadow-]

Sweet lord, I forgot how cutthroat Ranked battles were.

Edit: is there a GAF group that I could potentially join?

Edit 2: joining the Discord!

Have no idea what to do <----> Terrible Weapons.

That is not how this work. Maybe learn what to do with them and how to play smart, then you might see their potential.

splatoon doesnt have rocket launcher, and maybe you shuld play single player first

Press + before the match to change you weapon in salmon run

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Been averaging close to 1100pts a game and I've gone 1-6 this morning -_-

 

[13ruce]

Does playing online use much mobile data if you use your mobile? If so i might try and get unlimited internet on my phone from my provider. As i am going to school again soon it would be nice for while travelling.

 

[xXCrazyCostaXX]

Same boat. Just had a match where I was the highest person in the game (1538) and we still lost by a landslide. I'm getting matched with the worst people.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Is there no way to change weapons without leaving a game?

so many newbies

 

[taoofjord]

Salmon Run is so fucking good!

 

[Ashtar]

So I decide I want to play and of course my wife is like "what about me?" so I made her an account on my switch, as far as I know you can only have one inkling per account without an amiibo right? I didn't see an option for more than one character. Has anyone set up a gaf discord for playing splatoon? I'd like to play with some people I at least kind of know

GAF discord in the OP. Yeah I was you could have multiple inklings on an account, but you cant. I just let my wife/kids use my account that way we don't have to unlock things separately and take longer.

 

[Kinokou]

I have so many questions on this game that no one seems to have answered yet. Is there a definitive place online to become updated on the new things in Splatoon 2? Like weapon rank freshness bonuses, which color Grizzco balls are what and so on.

 

[xXCrazyCostaXX]

so many newbies

Yeah. Ain't hard to get that many pts with all these people not painting the spawn

 

[Glass Joe]

I've got a question about Splatnet... Under stats it shows a couple of numbers I'm not sure of. Pic here:

The victory / defeat part I understand, it's the numbers underneath I'm unsure of.

Avg 5.4 (0.8) and the 2.7.

I'm pretty sure the 5.4 is the average amount of splats I do per match, and the 2.7 is the average amount of specials I've used. What's the 0.8? I'm tempted to assume that's my amount of deaths but honestly it's likely higher than that. But what else could it be?

 

[zenspider]

The umbrella shotgun. Not sure when you unlock. It also has a shield and a dash.

 

[Nitpicker_Red]

so.... i don't have the game yet...

but my friends who have it says you can't create party to let friends join you and then joining a game...

you can only join them, and you won't necessarly be in the same team...

Why? This is really stupid coming from nintendo, especially since you can easily do it in arms!

You are not automatically put in the same team in the Turf War mode, because that's kind of a huge strategic advantage to your team.
You can team up (2 or 4) in the League mode, where you will be put against other actual teams.
If your friend doesn't know that, it's probably because Ranked battles are unlocked at level 10, and League battles are unlocked when you reach rank B in Ranked.

The 0.8 is assists. Deaths for you and the whole team (for 50 matches!) are available on SplatNet.

 

[Blunoise]

i have so many people in rank mode still trying to paint the home base area, instead of rushing to the splat zone smh, im dieing over here

Ah, thanks for the quick answer!
