Splatoon |OT| Squidstyler

Guys, I just got to B- and I'm really proud of myself.

Winning games in ranked has been one of the toughest gaming experiences I've had so far. But man does it feel great to win a match.

Same man, I been teetering on 70-98 points for the past 10 games since it's a seesaw.

Still some Pub Stomps, but also some close ones.
 
I know its not in voting poll on there but I really liked the joke from the single player campaign from Captain Cuttlefish

"Sea creatures can't swim (heh heh)"

Wait until you're paired with shitty teammates and lose 10 points to rank down, and then lose another 30 points because you ranked down.

Fucking bullshit.
 
I love the style of this game so much, so I did the only thing I could since I can't neither afford console/game, a lame voxel fanart xD

it was terrible topping losing teams in turf wars but being the best of losing teams in ranked hurts my soul

I'm always like 3rd or 4th in kills on my team, but I am helping by being a mobile spawn and sprinkler destroyer.


Back to B-! Back in the game!

I just made it to Rank -B and I'm afraid to play more rounds because I might get stupid randoms and drop back to c again :(

Lol, same with me.


Gone from Dual Squelcher to N-Zapper to see if that helps me do more for the team.
 
Standing alone on the middle tower in skatepark... Shouting "cmon"... Teammates are back at spawn painting every little crack.
 
The lag in this game is truly baffling at times:
  • Shoot and take out someone on the enemy team and run on my merry way, only to be splatted apparently five seconds later by the guy I had just taken out.
  • My favorite instance so far, take out a roller and watch as the ink continues to spread across my base. And take me out, of course.

If you kill someone then that person is dead on their end too, regardless of lag.

Imagine if the opposite were true. You shoot directly at someone and they clearly should've taken enough shots to die, but aren't dead? You roller right over someone but they somehow live, because they were actually somewhere else and lag lied to you? Would be so frustrating. So, often with lag players will end up killing each other. I think that's a fine way to handle it IMO.

lol no. both players can pull the sickest moves and reads, only realizing they were essentially trying to one-up a ghost once they both explode. a gigantic waste of time

a fine way to handle it is to not throw people 300+ latency away from one another into the same match

What was the Spyke glitch? And when did the update happen? (I haven't played since Monday night.)
Click to expand...

At rank 20 you can pay Spyke for more slots on equipment or to reroll existing secondary abilities for 30,000.

The glitch was that you could go buy those services and then go talk to Judd to cash in a win streak, and he would refund all your money from those expensive purchases from Spyke.

This has never happened to me. It's not the game, it's probably your internet connection.
 
thought ink wars was bad enough, but holy hell ranked mode can go die in a fire

so many losses thanks to awful teams. they really need to soften the penalty for losing
at least my love Gal can truly shine, finally

That is how lag works tho. Nothing baffling there.

If latency is going to exist then they chose the right way to handle it, as opposed to the alternative. Both people dying is fair and less frustrating than both people failing to hurt each other at all, dancing around for extended periods of time.

Yea man, ranked mode is 100% luck of the draw on your team. Don't matter how good you are because you aren't winning the 1v4 when your team bashing their heads into the spawn point. Turf war is pretty much the same, you just don't get graded on your luck there.

It's more like 40-50, it's smoother than before.

Cool, that was the only graphical blemish in the game (lack of aliasing too but hey 60 fps!)

So at level 20, you can toy with the abilities by talking with Spyke? I thought it was only with sea snails you could do it. Excellent.

Excited to play more later.

a) that happens as well, double splats are the best case scenario
b) absurd latency like that doesn't have to exist when you have reasonable matchmaking and/or give players the option to limit it regionally like many other nintendo games do

It's just such a weird weapon that people don't know how to handle it at first. We were all that way for at least a bit in the testfires.
Click to expand...

yeah that was good times. then for the final two testfires everyone realized that the splattershot jr was where it's at.

You pay Spyke for extra slot/re-roll and then cash in your win streak to Judd after. Judd gives you all your money back that you paid Spyke.

There was an exploit involving Spyke and Judd that allowed you to endlessly reap the trend bonuses and undo any money you spent on rerolling abilities from Spyke.
Click to expand...

Thanks guys. So they basically mixed up the variables that handle Spyke's cost and Judd's payment, it sounds like. It's impressive that it was fixed so quickly.

Just 4,400 posts to go.
 
A lot of talk on latency, weird that the only times i've had the lag-tastic experiences of beyond-the-gravekills and disappearing players, was when my own internet was hitting the shitter.

If I see someone else disconnect or obviously lag, they've basically just stood still or run straight without moving, until they disappear.
