Levels are to unlock stuff more than proving you're uber or something, since you get a fairly amount of points even when you lose, and it's directly linked to how much surface you've painted. Skill or lack there-of are kinda unrelated.
Turf War is basically the "For Fun" mode
 
I've been spending the whole weekend with Splatoon. Reached Level 20 and have an all 3 star gear. Problem is: I don't know what I am anymore! A squid? A kid? I am so confused.
 
Just finished world 2. Collected all the scrolls so far. Really enjoying single player.

Going to hop online. "espanajeff" if anyone has any rooms going on now.

I know it's a different mode, that's why I'm wondering why they don't just have it named after the mode instead of "ranked". What point is there for a ranking when we've got levels?

Well rank and level are clearly different, since level can only increase and pretty much only represent how much you played. While the rank will increase with wins and decrease with looses ( well I guess it will work like that, it usually does ), so it's a better representation of your skill.
And if there is a point, why shouldn't we be able to play ranked Turf War, or unraked Splat Zones?

That's the part I really don't get, it's so strange ( and imho disapointing ) not to allow ranked turf war. My guess is it's to avoid splitting the player base too much, but it's still a pretty strange choice.
 
So any guesses on how long until we go to a 3 map rotation? The space is clearly there on the screen so I can see it coming.

I honestly think we see the first map that weekend before e3
 
You're a squid, you're a kid!

Stay freeeesh!

This game >>> Call of Duty

Anyone else think Splatoon is the best??

I hate when I lose like if you agree

Alright, I get it now. That makes sense, but is Turf War in Ranked? Because I'd love a rotation on modes, like every round changes the mode.

And is it just me or wouldn't something like Killzones dynamic gamemode that changes the goal be pretty cool? Like, we start off with Splat zone, then there's more zones, then it's Turf War, then marked man and so on, all within a ten minute match or so.

I' really hoping ranked opens up a bunch of different playlists, but I know they're saving that until people become more accustomed to the game even though it's made now :(

I think it's dumb that each amiibo unlocks different things. I grabbed the inkling girl and boy... So if I want the stuff from the squid, I have to also buy the 3-pack?

It wouldn't split the playerbase though, if anything it'd bring everyone together in Ranked mode if there's a rotation.

I admit I haven't been following the community much for this game, but I must have missed the "squid/kid" thing. Where did it come from?

Also you forgot spongbob memes.
 
Anyone else getting a ton of communication errors right now? Its incredibly frustrating to get to the last 30 seconds of a super close match only to get kicked out before it ends.

I'm convinced, the Blaster is being slept on.

I'm calling it - the Blaster is going to dominate Ranked Battles.

Blaster is my main. I've gotten 10+ kills on maps multiple times with this weapon and it's basically built for narrow choke points and ambushing around corners. It's a one shot with a direct hit (110-125 damage), 2 shot with the explosion damage (55-63). Obviously horrible for painting the map so I focus on pushing the enemy team back as hard as possible so that the rest of the party can paint.

I think people have such a difficult time with this weapon because despite it's explosion radius, the explosion only happens mid-air. If the shot hits the environment before, the explosion isn't triggered, so it actually takes some twitch skills to quickly line up your shots when someone is in your face.

Turf War won't be, at least for now. As to rotation I guess we'll se once a second ranked mode is open : /

I don't know why they don't allow ranked turf war, my guess is to avoid a depopulation of the regular mode for now.
Or maybe it's not a good mode to rank people, as you can get more points than anyone and still lose as a team. I imagine some people would call it unfair. I don't know.
I'd welcome ranked turf war though!
 
I'm on world 3 and I've found like one scroll lol. I am kind of rushing through to get aerosol but single player is surprisingly fun.

It's be cool if we got the ink string thing in multiplayer.

Surely it'd only rank based on player performance and not win/loss, so it shouldn't make a difference. It's not like Splat Zones is a free for all deathmatch, it's pretty similar. I don't get it, and I don't want to have to go back and forth between ranked and unraked just to change mode, seems clunky and unfriendly. I'd want as much variation as possible within a session.
 
Losing streak last night with aerosol on Warehouse and Saltspray, will have to re-evaluate loadout priorities... was just getting rekt at every turn
 
Time to go huntin', mate.
