Respawn punisher is actually pretty good if you're decent at splatting. The US version incorrectly translated what it really does.

It's currently "increases respawn time and special gauge spawn penalty for you and anyone who splats you"

When it should be "increases respawn time and special gauge spawn penalty for you and anyone you splat"

It's incorrectlt translated in spanish too. Now, this makes this abbility VERY interesting, specially when I play charger as I tend to die only 1 or 2 times per match at most in TF. It'll help in keeping the enemy away from the center.

Edit: Top of the page 2 times straight lol

The first Splatfest in the original game was so cool because the teaser was vague as hell and no one knew anything about it until the actual day.

The day before, these big trucks showed up in the plaza and folks were wondering what the hell those were for. That first Splatfest was goddamn magical.

Sounds super fresh.
 
I just finished all the levels on the Hero Brella. If I'd realized I can't use it until they add the regular one to the game I might not have bothered yet, especially with how long it took me to take down the Octo Shower with that thing.

I don't understand why I won't get any matches, there weren't any issues with Rock vs Pop. This is terrible.

Maybe its still just the sound check stage of Splatfest prep?

You're not the first one to do this and likely won't be the last. I did the same and am still annoyed.
You can unlock every other weapon except that. Huge waste of time and zero payoff. And everyone else will get to just buy the same weapon on the day its released.
 
Just throwing it out there but if you participate in the splatfest please pick up your sea snails ASAP! In Splatoon 1 if you didn't get them in time they would be lost once the next splatfest was announced. Don't want to have folk in here lose them.

I hate being stuck in a team full of people who can't deal with Steelhead or flyfish enemies...
Click to expand...

I don't understand how people struggle with Steelhead. His attack is hugely telegraphed, easily avoidable, and he takes far less time to take out than Flyfish.

The only seriously difficult bosses are Flyfish and Griller - to an extent Stinger if you can't get to it.

Where do you pick them up? I have honestly no idea what is going on except that I'm fighting for the honour of ketchup.

It's a joke that they are still setting up, and you got in early.

It could be that for most of Asia, we are still in working hours, and it's late in America, so you're like missing 2/3 of the world(according to the common gaming divide), that's why it's hard to find a game.

I live in Asia, and when I played during lunch break, the wait wasn't that much longer than a typical turf war.

You get the chunk/s that were on the new item, and if there aren't any chunks on it they offer you 4k cash. if you check your chunk inventory they should be there.

Ohhhhhh thanks, I just got it lol. I didn't realize you get 1 of the specific ability that the other item had, I thought you just got a random roll like in the first game. That's why I wasn't seeing it.

I asked first.

But because they are preparing the plaza in game with new assets etc.?
It would certainly fit to have several stages of transformation.

I really do not understand what you're trying to say. There's no "transformation", the thing started 3 hours ago.

Usually it was an automatic grant once you started up the game after the results were announced.

That can't be it, this is unprecedented. I haven't played in over an hour now. There seem to be a few other people locked out of playing too, they keep getting matched with me. And then it times out.

I think what he meant was maybe the splatfests hasn't officially started and they are still in the process of teasing about it in game.

Which I think is wrong, and most probably the Devs fucking it up a little.

Same situation here (but for ketchup). Am playing JP version in UK, I'm getting matched with one or two Japanese players, but the room doesn't fill before the lobby timer ends.
 
blaarg, splatoon's online stuff really needs some work i think. i have B to A NAT type but i can't stay connected during a play session. i'll get disconnected 3-6 times in the span of like an hour, get the pop-up warning about how ~suspicious~ my activity is and how it'll result in a ban, so i don't bother playing anymore once i get like 3 of those because i don't want to risk getting penalized. it sucks even harder because i was trying to play salmon run today and lost rank even though i actually only got into a match and was able to play once, due to disconnections on my side and others. it's just a bad experience right now. x_x

Were you jp region for Splatoon too? I've had 16...17? Splatfests with no issues before, and now this. Rock vs Pop was just weeks ago, same platform, and it worked just fine. What could have happened to the netcode since then?

Yes, I was on JP region for splatfests in the first game while playing in the UK, no problem at all. Certainly didn't experience empty lobbies like this today.
 
My problem with Salmon run is, I absolutely LOVE IT but then when you end up being 2 players cause 2 others left the match and you still loose points cause obviously in the Final Wave its unwindable (though I've won 1 out of 5 3 v salmons games). They should make it so that if one player leaves besides them getting a penalty, your pay grade doesn't get lowered.
 
I finished Salmon Run at profreshional 140 last night before going to bed, will it stay there next time Salmon Run is up or will it reset back to the middle of the bar?

Oh sorry nvm.

Never played the first Splatoon so I thought Splatfests take some time to be prepared ingame ^^'

There are four ingame stages to Splatfests:

1. Accouncement. They announce the theme and the board goes up. You can pick a side, get your shirt to start leveling it, and start making Splatfest drawings.
2. Stage setup. The only thing that changes here is the stage appears in the plaza to signify that the Splatfest will start soon. Most of us are in this stage now.
3. Splatfest. The girls are onstage, the plaza is fully decked out and party mode is on. You can join games and fight for your side. Regular Turf War is unavailable (I'm not sure if ranked is disabled too.)
4. Wrap-up. When you log on a winner is announced. Your shirt is taken away and prizes are handed out.

From what I gather, Japan are in stage 3, Splatfest proper, and people are having trouble getting matched at all, so they can't play multiplayer at all right now during a 24-hour limited event.
 
Honestly, Salmon Run not being on all the time, has reduced the overall time I play the game. A lot of times I think, "I wanna warm up with Salmon Run before I start multiplayer" only to realize it's not on, and never turn it on. Other times I won't check, as I just find it too much of a hastle, and never get around to doing anything.

I wonder what will happen with Salmon Run in the future?? I hope they do something to fix this...
 
God my Salmon run win rate is awful. Played about 8 games this morning, won 2. 3 we lost in the last 5 seconds of wave 3, one we only had 2 people from the very start.

I kinda hate the random weeps. Means that if you get weapons you don't like you're stuffed.
 
God if you get high tide for wave three on anything above overachiever you can kiss your game goodbye. It's just too fucking small for the amount of area control a decent wave can bring

Yeah the one thing I don't really like about SR is that it can feel extremely random. If you get a nasty wave with grillers, at high tide, in fog, it can feel utterly brutal even on part timer.

Depends on how many of your team kept specials and how many flyfish spawn in my experience. It's definitely doable.

One of the most helpful things can be if someone has a a stingray as they can often retreat away to the other end of the map from where most enemies are and kill a ton of stuff from safety while they're all grouped up and revive anyone caught in the middle.
