how many maps does salmon run actually have? i only know the spawning grounds and the ship

i wish it followed the two map rotation but that depends on how many actual maps there are

There are only two maps right now and I am pretty sure it alternates between them for each time block that it's live.
 
So do I have to save somewhere on the sheet or just type in everything and close it again? I never used one of those lol.

Also
Man we have added each other since a week and never were online at the same time.

is there a way to get tickets without playing the single player?

I mean I dunno if Nintendo already fixed the exploit but if not just farm them in single player? Got 50 of each after roughly one hour and a half lol.
 
Ink Brush is fun, is the Slosher considered to be a good weapon? I kinda like the idea behind it but have not bought it yet.

The tri slosher is probably the best weapon in the game at the moment. Kills in 2 hits, hardly requires aim and it's ink coverage basically gives you ink armour every 20 seconds if you don't die.

It and the octobrush are highly likely to be nerfed hard next patch.

50/50 chance of the Aerospray and Enperrys being looked at too.

They need to buff the Jet Squelcher so that it's easier to splat the bucket and brush users from a distance because you need to land 4 shots from it to kill anything which is extremely shit given its low rate of fire and only 10% of current players are actually good with chargers so there's no real good counters to the buckets and brushes that are dominating ranked at the moment because they can just run ninja squid and kamikaze endlessly into you without any punishment and mostly net rewards. And even if you try to say fine I'll just out range them they can just pop Ink armour and fuck you up anyway because running ink armour counters range advantages so you're basically screwed up.

The Heavy Splatling has the same issue as any wind up time is just gonna mean someone's gonna swim up to you and throw a bucket at you. There's no reason to run anything that isn't close to medium range at the moment and it needs to be fixed.
 
Good at the right range. It does a ton of damage if you catch them just right, but too close or too far and you're dead. I haven't found it to be great at painting either.

i like the tri slosher, the og slosher's range is too limited for my tastes

Cool, will wait for the tri slosher then to unlock :)
Could not play the past days and still warming up to MC so I am crappy... sorry randoms :(

edit: or wait for the nerf :D
 
aerospray didn't have that range in the first game and yeah octobrush is op, trislosher. Splattershot still good

Wasn't there a Gatling gun that had much faster charge time near the end of splatoon 1 Loved that weapon
 
Uhhh pearl and marina just informed me the game got optimized and I should look at the website but i don't see anything there... Wut? There has been no update for me... should i go in the e-shop or something?
 
All of you people hyping up the Octobrush and saying it needs to get nerfed really make me want to try it out. I only tried the regular Inkbrush and didn't like it, and figured the Octobrush would basically be the same.

Is it better at painting? I stick to Turf War and one of the reasons the Inkbrush didn't resonate was that it sucked at covering ground.

It has high range and kills you in half a second
 
I tried but it said it's already on the newest update... I'm confused now.

I only got Pearl and Marina talking about the update after it updated, so you probably already got it.

Can you get online in the game? If so, you got it.

High range sounds great. The range on the inkbrush was crap. I'll test it out at Sheldon's to see how much better it is.
 
I could see the range maybe being reduced a bit (maybe to Splatoon 1 levels), but I don't think there's anything else about it that could be judged overpowered. Maybe I'm biased since I've been using it for 2 years, of course.

Still, I'm surprised to see so many of them out there. Brush wasn't nearly this popular in Splatoon 1.
I've also mained Octobrush in S1 and the S2 version is much more powerful, I think it has a bit more range forward and A LOT more range horizontally, but I also think it uses a lot more ink now. I feel it's much more powerful now, but the abundance of new players may be helping in it feeling so powerful.
 
Not picking a fight, but I'm not gonna do that as I'm only comfortable abusing game exploits that don't get removed. That said, with the status unknown of the ticket before today I have used it a couple of times, but only ever one at a time so I wouldn't have any extras if it were removed.

No problem, but it should be mentioned that extra XP tickets does nothing like a "cheat" in the end.
All it does is accelerating your access to weapons that are locked behind a certain level requirement. As someone who played Splatoon 1, I already know most of those weapons too, and it's bothering not being able to buy them.

I saw someone in the square with a mini splatling gun
 
Anyone else having issues connecting online? Server is up according to the game and my Switch passes a connection test with no issue. I can access the e-shop too. Just not able to connect on the splatoon servers after the update.
 
This patch pisses me off, not because of what it did, but because of the implication. That means they are paying enough attention to the community to know that there is a ticket exploit. Which also means they should know about all the gripes about unskippable Pearl and Marina scenes, not being able to switch weapons between matches, not being able to back out of matchmaking, and the issues with playing with friends on the same team. But they ignore all of that shit so they can take away leveling up at a slightly faster rate.

Or adjusting numbers and fixing bugs is significantly easier than making actual changes and additions
 
I got a "unstable connection" message at the start of a match and apparently everyone save for another guy were booted.

It ended up being a splatzone duel. It was more fun tbh :lol:

I won
 
Turn the Switch off and on again? I had to do that to get a BOTW update once if I recall.

Did that. The error code that it's giving me is 2124-5200. On their website it says "You are unable to sign in to your Nintendo Account on Nintendo Switch and receive the error code 2124-5002." I can log into the e shop perfectly-fine.

wtf...

Same here. Can even talk with Sparky so it's not an internet issue, only Salon Run and the Lobby are not working.

Wait could it be I'm banned because I used the exploit?

Poor kid just wants his tickets :(
 
I actually get why Nintendo limits how you play with friends.Teaming up with friends and presumably coordinating though discord or something would give you a huge advantage against randoms. They give you a way to play the regular match making with friends that's quite fun imo, its kind of like playing pick up basketball sometimes you're playing with people sometimes against them. But if you want to team up with the squad you should be going up against other groups.

I'm not going to defend map rotations and the random times for salmon run though.
Hmmmmm true, but other games handle this by pairing teams against teams as best as possible.

Man we have added each other since a week and never were online at the same time.

What timezone are you in?

Just had the same issue. It's fine now, although I am not sure if it fixed itself or it's something I did.

I feel it's much more powerful now, but the abundance of new players may be helping in it feeling so powerful.

Yeah it does use more ink, I tried wearing an Ink Saver Main and that made it feel more like the old one.

Honestly though, the overall balance of the Octobrush hasn't changed that much, I don't think. It's still hard countered by the Carbon Roller, or anything with range (Splatlings, Splattershot Pro, Jet Squelcher).

Regardless, I'll be sad if the range gets reduced since it really helps with getting up walls, but I will definitely understand it.
 
Does the aerospray really need a look at balancing? The only thing I see wrong with it is the power of the special in splat zones.

Is the Carbon Roller stronger in this game? I didn't think it could 1-shot in the first game.
 
man this round of salmon run is great. too bad it won't be up when I get back from work..

I'm still pretty mad about this. My daughter just asked me yesterday at the dinner table if we can play some Salmon Run, and I had to remind her again about the dumb decision Nintendo made by not making it available at all times.

Follow that up with two hours after her bedtime, they open Salmon Run. Oh, and she has school in the morning, so no chance for her to play before 11am either.

I'm one of Nintendo's biggest fans, and the handling of Salmon Run is just so ass backwards. Almost as bad as their voice chat system.
 
This round of salmon run is good. Mostly since it's not like the other rounds where I was hoping that I didn't get certain weapons. Hopefully they extend it to 24 hours at some point.

Looks like weekend salmon runs will be 24 hours. (this Friday's is) Hopefully that trend continues.

As someone that has no idea what they're talking about and probably shouldn't be talking about balance at all, the Aerospray seems perfectly fine except for how fast the Curling Bomb launcher charges. I'd up that by 20 points and I don't think anyone would be too upset one way or the other.

The aerospray's kit makes it better than it was in the first game but its range still makes it a kind of poor weapon overall. It can cover a lot of ground but it can't really do anything else.

Carbon Roller is a lot weaker this game. They lowered its kill range from the first game (it could definitely 1-shot) and the lack of burst bombs really hurt it.

Adding a skip button to Pearl and Marina is trivial.

I constantly get the most kills in matches with the Aerospray.
 
Me either, mostly just want Salmon Run people to join. =)

Wait, when are you starting a match? how does the matchmaking with people on the friendlist work anyway? Can't join you, already in a match or not yet started one? I don't get how this works lol. Like, if you're starting a match obviously I can't join and I didn't see a lobby yet.

The things you're complaining about were conscious design decisions - regardless of whether you like them or not. Farming tickets through an exploit is subverting that - therefore, patch!

Nah, plenty here used the exploit and are still good. I used it and nothing happened. Just can't get anymore than what you have left from it.

Did you hold the power button for 15 seconds for hard reset? If not try that. Otherwise check internet connection to see if might be that after.
 
What is up with people AFKing in this game? Nintendo needs to fix this. This was not a problem with the first game.
Dunno about AFKing but disconnects are a problem and I recall them being a problem in the first game too (probably to a lesser extent).

I don't see it happening anywhere near as much in ranked though but I haven't played a whole lot of ranked.

It's good now, thanks. Was really strange though. I got 50 tickets for each so I'm good for now. Except that I'm constantly broke lol.

Seriously I don't get it. Most annoying thing in the game right now.

I've only been playing Regular and have gotten some occasional people just sitting at spawn. They don't do anything for like 50% of the match. It's getting annoying.

Guess it's time to put down the aerospray and pick up a charger. What's the best charger atm?

Yeah, people DC all the time. Probably inadvertently too because I don't see it happening that often when my team is losing or anything.

People need to suck it up and buy an Ethernet -> USB adapter and stop relying on WiFi unless their connection is godtier. I bought one of those for my Wii U for Splatoon 1 and I've never DC'd as far as I can remember.

No shit, I played Splatoon 1. Doesn't make them less idiotic. That's exactly what I said. That's why it makes me mad. If Nintendo was just being oblivious to the community then I could half way excuse it because that means they are just off doing their own thing ignorant to the complaints.

But the fact that they have their ears to the ground and heard about the ticket exploit from the community means that they hear everyone bitching about the problems but they are too stuck of their own asshole saying to all their customers "You're holding it wrong".


Find better people to play with. I promise you that Aerospray isn't OP.

Matchmaking finds players for me. So I guess that's Nintendo's fault? I don't build a custom list of opponents every time I start the game.

Yeah I think a lot of people are repeating the early phase of Splatoon 1 where everyone thought the Aerospray was overpowered for the first few weeks then more and more people stopped using it, pretty much the only place you saw it after a while was Turf War. Bumping up the charge time on its special is all I'd do tbh.

Didn't realise that about the Carbon Roller, think I've just been a little unlucky against wielders of it lately.
