Seems like all the upcoming Salmon Run sessions are 24h. Starts once every two days. I'm in the EST time zone:

The gap between August 2nd and 3rd is 18 hrs, while the gap between the 3rd and the 4th is a mere 6 hours. Perhaps they're transitioning to it being up more than down, or it could just be like that because of the upcoming splatfest.
 
Fuck this noise. Three times tonight I ranked up to C, three times I ranked right back down to C-. Combine that with my stupid ass friend taunting me to hurry up so we can play together... I don't want to play league. I just want to be able to play something other than turf war:(

I thought you didn't rank down in this game. Just your bar break and you have to start over.
 
Dear Gaf, I'm struggling to join my friends online, got an error code 2618-0583 saying I'm unable to connect to the other user's console, but I can't find the code online, does anyone know what I need to do to fix this?

This happens both at work(shhh) and at home, so I'm not sure if it's the wifi, but then we're all using the same connection and it's only me that's struggling to connect to others.

Usually that error indicates a closed NAT issue and occurs on some celluar networks. But if you're on the same connection and others can play on it fine then I'm not sure.
 
Can someone explain how unlocking weapon abilities works? What is freshness? What are the regular eggs in Salmon Run for? How can I access the gear I should have unlocked?

This game is kind of confusing.

Weapon abilities are locked. You can unlock new weapons with different sub/super weapons in the store from leveling up through multiplayer.

Regular eggs in Salmon run are just for points I guess, nothing really.

All of your gear should be in the equip menu after you bought it. If you ordered it from Splatnet or from another player then you have to buy it from Murch.

This is frustrating... I figured it could be NAT, I will try connecting to their wifi at work(we just use our mac as access point) next time and see if it helps, I guess.

Then I'll see about messing around my home's router when I get home... I hate fiddling with settings!

Thanks!
 
I will just keep asking, this thread is too fast lol

Can I check my currently equipped Inkopolis art, and does one see the "like"s (Y while inspecting) given by other players?

I don't think you can check what is equipped, and the only way to check likes is by checking the social media account you posted it to (Nintendo doesn't have their own method of keeping track of it, I think it just pulls from Facebook/Twitter)
 
Too close. Managed to get to B- on Tower Control just a few games before my bar completely broke and I level up!

Overall, a good night since I got two ranks to B-, which I honestly wasn't expecting.

So the ingame likes go to the social account directly? That's not too bad I guess.
 
I take it the splashdown is more effective when using it from a height? Because I was sure causing some damage last night on Moray Towers using it from that grind rail in the centre..
 
Omg rainmaker on the Reef though... Won so many games by sneaking off and inking that back alley to the goal. I wish I could set an alert on the app for when this mode/level is up in ranked I could play that for days.

do folks prefer pro controller or joycons for this? thinking about picking up the Splatoon themed pro controller
Click to expand...

I use Pro Controller for online and Joycons occasionally for Hero Mode. Most prefer the Pro Controller, but the joycons (especially while split) are viable as well.

I love this game but man is matchmaking shit.
Click to expand...

After playing a few hours I share the same opinion.

For five non-ranked matches in a row I've played with one or two team mates missing or idling in the spawn point; I've had fun nonetheless but it was clear we were fighting for a lost cause. Note that a couple of times I've had to wait two full minutes because an eighth player couldn't be found (just let me disconnect already).

In two Salmon Run matches I've waited another two full minutes, then played with only one team mate and in one instance such a team mate gave up leaving me all alone. Luckily I could then play 3-4 good matches, but still..

The only mode where I've enjoyed no matchmaking problems is ranked. I don't know if it's sheer luck or people there are just well behaved.

I don't see a problem with having an option to disconnect from a matchmaking before the match starts. I'm willing to bet most problems with people idling or missing would go away.
 
Started 2 days ago, play with motion control. I have to say I'm pretty happy how it runs at the moment.
And if we lost I was constantly the best in the team, sometimes with more than double the points as the second one.

Not bad.
 
Just had a ranked battle on Tower Control and the other players just flat out refused to move towards the tower and beyond and stayed put in our half of the map no matter what! :/

Knock on wood, but I never ran into this problem in any mode, except people not knowing how to play Rainmaker. From my experience, everyone is doing their best even in a stomp. What kills me is people somehow getting 500 is less on an Aero or anyone who scores less than 400 that isn't a sniper.

But I am also last or second from the bottom in rank, so what do I know.

Does your weapon freshness level drop when switching weapons?

Each weapon has its own freshness rank. Weapon freshness does not drop when switching weapons.

Yup. Blast radius for Splashdown increases when you do it from a higher place. Doing a Splashdown from a super jump will likely give you a really big blast radius.
 
Man, it's so nice when your fellow random teammates know what to do in Rainmaker. I got the gun and immediately had two guys beside me, both either shooting a path or enemies when I was using the Rainmaker to create a path. I think we won in 30 seconds, lol.

Also, one Splatzone game ended 100-99. The opposing team had one second to go, but we still won. That was fun.
 
I just jumped on the Tri Slosher train to try hitching a ride to B-. Are the burst bombs as useful on the tower as the suction bombs are?
 
Let's fire up the translation machine...

明日7月29日午前11時、新しいブキ「デュアルスイーパー」が追加される。
前作でシューターとして登場したが、なんと今回はマニューバーに生まれ変わった。
長射程や連射力はそのままに、スライド機能を手に入れたぞ。
サブは「ポイントセンサー」、スペシャルは「スーパーミサイル」だ。
Click to expand...

Tomorrow July 29th at 11am, a new weapon, the "Dual Sweeper" will be added. The previous iteration was a shooter-type weapon, but it's been reborn this time around as a Dualie. It retains its range and rapid-fire capabilities, but now you can dodge-roll too!

Sub is point sensor, special is tentamissiles.

It's the first online game in ages where i have the feeling the matchmaking is amazing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes, sometimes i have 4 level 1x guys as opponent while my team is full of level 1-9 people and we loose horribly, but this happens in 1 of 10 games and the rest works great and that's more then in almost every other online game out there.



By the way. The worst thing about Splatoon 2? Still no pants customization. I don't get why, there is no explanation for this.
