Anyone else getting disconnected to hell and back?

No issues here

 

[Jims]

Lmao twice i had the enemy team fighting with us in the midle of the map while one of our guys gest the rainmaker and sneaks into the enemy base for a ko win

Its like they dont even check the score or the map

Been finding Rainmaker to be both the easiest and hardest mode to try to carry your team. Some games, the other team gets stuck in the corner and can't get it out of there. Some games, it feels like your team is throwing on purpose.

I don't mind the 2 hour map rotation but I would like it if they gave me the maps more evenly. Why do I keep getting going Moray Towers.

 

[jokkir]

WHY DON'T YOU GET THE RAINMAKER OUT OF OUR BASE WHEN IT'S SO CLOSE TO THE FINISH.

Some of these teams are ridiculous. Like don't they try and protect the Rainmaker holder clearly asking for assistance and instead they're doing their own thing. Why are you even at the final pedestal protecting it when it doesn't need protecting?!

 

[clearestblue]

Rainmaker is easily the most rewarding mode to get to B- in. At least it runs the self-destruct countdown faster when you're going the wrong way.

Rainmaker is my favorite mode but I am struggling to get through C. Doesn't help whenever I'm online it seems to be Splat Zones or Tower Control

 

[salamander150]

My guess is that it's Nintendo's lame way to push population to the other playlists so they don't ever lack population.

Sigh, you are most probs right. Just that I played the first game so much that I was really hoping to keep playing salmon run to keep things fresh..

Finally found my weapon......constantly getting 20+kills with paintbrush now

Which mission?

I'm on the final zone and haven't touched motion controls for the single player.

Nope, just one of the stupid design decisions this game is plagued with.

What valid reason is there for not being able to adjust sensitivity etc in single player lol

The core gameplay is amazing but the game is full of little bullshit things that are nothing but annoying.

Out of curiosity is it the level with moving platforms in the second world? If it is I know the one you mean, that part at the end is designed to break controllers....

Yep, it's this mission. First time I told a Nintendo game to fuck off in a long time I think. lol
It would be easy enough in a normal FPS/TPS, but the default deadzone sensitivity is terrible and there is a part where you need to snipe three things quickly, which is basically impossible without motion controls or high sensitivity.

I had to switch (herpherp) to TV mode and play with the joycon motion controls to beat that level... I'm also convinced I'll never use the sniper rifle in this game. lol

 

[Hueytothe]

Why do people keep going the long way in rainmaker

 

[Neiteio]

Y'ALL

KNOW

WHAT TIME

IT IS

 

[Yukinari]

Wanna play salmon run real bad but 8AM is bullshit.

Gonna basically miss a chunk of it cause i have an appointment too.

 

[Incitemaybe]

Has anyone figured out a useful way to use the Sting Ray special? Is it best to poke at people through walls or attempt to ink space far away from you? Do you squirt, stop, squirt, stop, squirt or just shoot one long jet? 😉

Any experiences?

 

[champloo]

Why won't they show more stats on the result screen? I want to know how many times I died.

 

[supermetfreud]

Got a couple of complaints.

- Not being able to use the right stick for Y-axis control with motion on. I feel like the sticks should be your way of getting your aim in the general direction and the motion control should be your way of finetuning it.

- Salmon Run being a scheduled thing is just unfathomably stupid.

- Please make this soundtrack available for purchase, Nintendo.

Jesus Christ the ink jet is insanely OP on port mackerel

 

[Sorbete]

I usually don't game on Mondays, time for some Splatoon

 

[Pastry]

The amount of cash you get for losing is pitiful, like you mind as well not give me anything

 

[JohnTinker]

Out of all the new maps, the only one I don't really care for is the Art Academy. Just feels completely bland to me.

I hope some of the older stages come back too after getting reworked (Kelp Dome, for one)

 

[woodland]

I haven't played Rainmaker once in my first 20 ranked matches

what's it like gaf

is it magical

 

[Anteo]

That feeling when you out carry the enemy team carry.

 

[RecRoulette]

Second Hero Weapon complete, first actual weapon (the Brella isn't out yet). It's the exact same as the Splat Roller, same abilities and everything. Not sure why I expected something different, considering that's how the Hero Weapons worked in the first one lol.

 

[ThisIsMyDogKyle]

One of my favorite things to do in rainmaker is when you have it and all of your teammates are just... gone somehow and you know you're about to die because you've got 2-3 people firing at you is just firing a shot right where you're standing, 9 times outta 10 you get 1-2 kills, in the C ranks at least.

 

[nahlakhai]

After a weekend with the game I'm starting to get addicted. I missed out on the first and I've been engrossed in team shooters like OW and R6:S the past 18 months or so and Splatoon has definitely scratched that itch. I'm still ass at motion control aiming though. Its like when I engage another player I forget that I can tilt up and down and I just fight the controls. It doesn't feel natural for me yet.

 

[Pastry]

So is spawn camping in ranked just something you kind of have to deal with? Had a couple of enemy teams just rush our spawn with dualiss recently and then we're trapped and fucked

 

[Macka]

I never seem to get online when Salmon Run is open. Ugh.

 

[drotahorror]

Sorry for asking something so stupid, but when you unlock a weapon to buy in the shop it always has a sub weapon and power or w/e it's called. Are these set in stone? Is it possible to have, say the dualies with a different subweapon and power?

 

[Anteo]

Trapping the enemy in their base = instant victory. That being said, you have the high ground advantage near your base so it should be posible to break out.

 

[RecRoulette]

Oh shit, I didn't know that you could unlock music for Squid Beatz 2 from Amiibo. That's awesome.

The funs are all set, but there is at least one other dualy with different sub and power.

 

[JershJopstin]

If you have amiibo...

It's kinda shitty I can't access those songs without buying figures I don't really want tbh

 

[Dyle]

It seems like the amount of turf you need to control to neutralize the splat zone is more than it used to be. Maybe I'm crazy, but it seems like it's 55% control rather than 50%. It might just be the way the new UI thing looks, but I swear I've failed to take the point at the end of a game where it looks exactly like 50%. It could be why more games seem to be going to KO than usual

Yes, but it's a separate weapon pack you buy in the shop, tied to ingame fashion brands

 

[molnizzle]

Just started playing online.

What is being ranked at the end of each match? The "p" thing? Last few games I've been at the top with the basic gun. lol

Turf inked.

P stands for points I think. It's the turf you've inked. There's a counter in the top right in-match.

You can see this and more on the SplatNet 2 app

 

[ZugZug123]

Just like Splatoon, I'm only decent w/ Rollers. Super fresh on it, while I'm completely dry on anything that requires any degree of aim ^.^' I do wish the special on the N-Zap 85 was the Splash down instead of the shield as this is the only gun I'm OK'ish with.

 

[-Horizon-]

Still going through the single player. Only in the second area. Trying to get all the secrets before moving on to the next. I like it so far.

Surprisingly first switch game where the fan went off in handheld mode.

Also does anyone know how the splatnet2 thing works on the app? I downloaded the app and I see splatoon 2 icon but it just opens up to what looks like a commercial.

 

[clearestblue]

Once I get to B-, does League open up for every mode or just the mode I'm B- in?

 

[CampbellzSoup]

If anyone sees me o line I'm Cazcone feel free to add me

Use the Octobrush and dualie scrubs will never be a problem again.

You know the area immediately surrounding your spawn is shielded, right? Sometimes this can be enough protection to kill a couple of the other team and allow at least one of you to escape and then allow others to super-jump and flank those spawn camping fucks.

You have to play online for it to work.

lol welp

Guess the app will lay dormant for while then

 

[noquarter]

At the end of a match in ranked, how does it do the rankings, or is there no real order to It? There have been multiple times I've had the highest splat count and protected the area, but it puts me at the bottom, don't really understand what it uses to order players at the end.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

well the final boss of single player was a disappointment, especially compared to the first game

 

[Catman]

I gotta say that I really think the Aerospray MG is overpowered. It's like the power of a weapon doesn't matter, speed is king for whatever reason. I'm not even very good at the game, but I've consistently done better with it, and often been top of my team. Even if my team doesn't win, I have excelled on my team the most when I started using it, and I'm almost always seeing anyone else who was the top of the other team was also using the Aerospray MG.
