I know a Salmon Run is gonna be shit when the tide is high for the first wave.
Doubly fucked if its night or fog on top of that.

The difficulty increase recently feels like Overachiever is now Profreshional and Profreshional is now something higher. Lets call it "Grizzelite"

It's amazing, just try it at least once before thinking it's disgusting.

At first I was concerned they had completely region-locked the Japanese splatfest, but of the games I have played so far, they have been stable. Finding games, however... well, you know how that is right now!

I wonder if they'll let us play with eur region players in 3½ hours, since we're probably trapped on the eur server for some insane reason. Same theme and all...
 
Couldn't find a match in the last hour. It's my first Splatoon game and my first Splatfest. Just let me play Nintendo...

Time and level are irrelevant in this, I mentioned ranked modes specifically for a reason. Turf War is always going to have those issues.

And that's still not matchmaking's doing nor its responsibility.

Matchmaking assigns people to teams. The teams are my issue.

1.) No option for people on a team with a member who d/cs.
2.) Teams aren't based on skill. One team can lose 30 - 60 and next match the members haven't been shuffled. Results will rinse & repeat.

If not matchmaking, then what?

My last game was around 16:40... Over 2½ hours ago. How could they drop the ball THIS hard?

Are you actually in Japan (that is the only region it's started in so far, right)? This game has been observed to implement ping-based matchmaking, unlike it's predecessor; perhaps there's a cutoff somewhere?

Edit: didn't mean to DP, sorry, and I see now that someone gave you this answer two pages ago too. However, since you said that wasn't an issue in the first game... This isn't the first game lol. Ping-based matchmaking wasn't a thing then, and is now.
 
Just guessing here, but I think the Splatfest actually *is* geo-blocking JP region players from joining the JP server with other randoms if they're not in Japan. If you see other people online, there's a good chance they're not in Japan either. Send invites to everyone you see and try to get a team going.

It's not geo-blocking at a technical level, it's ping-blocking, which would have a similar effect. Just curious, why do you have the Japanese version outside of Japan anyway?

Then why is my team almost instantly filled, but there are no enemies in sight?
Nintendo messed something up

That's... A little more curious. Are they Japanese players?

Do the European and American Splatfests ever overlap after the Japanese one ends? I wonder if you'd still have problems finding a match then when we're all locked into our Splatfests.

I haven't really played non-Japanese Nintendo games in the past 15 years or so. Eternal Darkness and the Metroid Prime trilogy maybe?

Hey guys. Long time gaf lurker and this is my first post. It's taken online Splatoon 2 to get me to make my first post.

Online in this game is currently so broken that I have not enough words to describe my irritation. This being a 4v4 game, losing one team member spells doom. Losing two - well. Let me just get out the vaseline and bend over.

This morning, I've had four consecutive matches (and I've quit after each one to the lobby for a new set of peopel) with dropouts. Two with one dropout and two with two.

NINTENDO - FIX THIS.

They need to come up with some solutions and fast. Drop the match with no penalties for anyone. If two drop - flip one to the other side mid game to even the numbers. Half the level of ablities for the non nerfed team.

I'm all for being crap and losing. That makes my skill level improve. But when I'm dealing with this bullcrap so often - this just makes me want to back away from the game.

I came up with a solution several pages back. But alas, i dont know anyone at Ninty or even doubt they would listen to some nobody like me.

I suggested that the 3 (or in rarer cases 2) man teams would get a tenacity and or ink armour buff for the remainder of the match making them just a little harder to kill giving them a fighting chance to ink more turf.

It can be frustrating for sure when you lose a teammate or sometimes 2. Hopefully Nintendo gets around to fixing it. But i wouldnt hold my breath.

In EU I barely know anyone who uses Ketchup on their food, it's just disgustingly sweet and bah.

Mayo is the best thing ever on fries, salads, sandwiches etc.
Click to expand...

Mayo is godlike ketchup is ewwww curry ketchup is doable tho and tastes nice mixed with mayo.
 
Only us Americans know that Ketchup will reign supreme ;)

Also reminder that Japan + Europe votes tally into one

And NA + AUNZ votes tally into another.
 
Plain mayo on fries is sacrilege. Malt vinegar, flaked sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper is the ultimate, simple fry dressing. That said... mayo-based dressings can be great for fries. I've done a good dill and garlic pickle dip and ancho chili based dip that were both mayo based. Dipping fries into plain mayo is just odd as may is so lacking in any real flavor and is basically just straight fats (with a little vinegar/lemon).
 
What the hell is going on today. An entire lunch hour of Turf War and won all 7 matches. =/
No D/Cs, no stacked teams, nothing. I'm kinda scared.
 
Mayo is brilliant if it's home made / French / Italian.

It's got to have plenty of egg in it., It should be a pale yellow colour.

That white shit is gross. Like runny knob cheese. Love Mayo, but it needs to be good quality.
 
Anyone else already having tons of clothes on Splatoon 2? Already have 4 pages of shoes, body and head gear.

All have good usefull main perks atleast. All thanks to splatnet and the players with cool gear and some items from the shops.

My Squid needs to look fresh lol but irl i also have tons of clothes so it makes sense.
