Been in the A's for a while and there's at least one Dynamo every few games for me. Curse the games where there happens to be more than one on a team. I don't usually stick around after the games been had, though. I like to back out and look for a new lobby. If you happen to do that too... Well, then! I think the only thing left to do is trade locations because I'd rather not play with them anymore. Aha.

I agree with that there's a Dynamo at least in every few games, but that's far rarer than something like the .96 gal (which clearly needs a nerf /s).

I edited to add this part: The best weapon concept doesn't and will never exist, but the best composition of 4 weapons will probably surface.

The weapon I choose will depend on the team I'm facing. If a meta develops and you start seeing teams using the same formula, then you know so you can tailor a strategy against that particular setup beforehand because the likelihood of facing it is very high. However in random matchmaking, you can potentially face any combination of weapons. It's a huge difference.

What you're saying sounds more like a MOBA thing where every character plays quite differently. I personally think that there will be role compositions in teams but never defined weapons because a couple of them could adequately fill the same role. Best weapon concept is certainly possible given how many complaints there has been against the Dynamo Rollers. I'd figure I'd see more people use them since it sounds like the secret is out.

If you can get help from Azure it's all good.
I'll keep an eye out if you still have the want for it and weren't able to get it otherwise.

Congrats on the kid!

No problem.
If there's anything else you're interested in let me know. I might have it. Feel like I got most of the thinggggs at this point.


It's most likely to get Damage Up.
And, must be pretty good to have so many people wearing it!

Thanks! I will still send you a friend request can never have too many gaffers

 

[mrklaw]

Bought the pink polo, red hi tops and jungle hat. Not bad selection in stock. Will probably grab the white anchor too

 

[Sun Bear]

Finally reached A+ 99!

I can take a break from Splat Zones now and lose all my points once Tower Control comes out.

I actually don't see the .96 all that often funnily enough.
And, I honestly don't even know how you'd nerf some of these weapons without making them useless. The .96 and Dynamo are just annoying weapons to run into. But, tweak them at all and they lose the one thing they have going for them. On paper they're balanced. It's the latency that makes them seem unfair. When you actually use these weapons for a few rounds you're like, "If that was me I'd be dead!" And, shit like that. Aha.

You can never seem to get close enough to the Dynamo to kill it without at the very least trading. And, in the case of the .96 it always feels like it kills you in one hit.

Okie doke!

I'm enjoying people in ranked moving away from .96 and .52 gal, makes charger life easier lol

There's a clear increase in people using high rate of fire weapons at higher ranks -- I think they're typically better than low rate of fire weapons, so it makes sense to me

 

[Jeff Vader]

Tower control looks even more fun than splat zones.

Congrats on the kid? You realise he now has a shit ton less time to play Splatoon? Sorry to hear of the demise of your free time dude.

Yeah, I played .96 in ranked for a little while, but then moved on to Dual Squelcher. It just seemed to take way to long to capture the zone with .96.
I still try to make charger life hard even though I don't have as much killing power though.

Pretty much. I've also noticed a trend with range superceeding everything else nowadays. There's a ton of Squelchers and Splattershots/Pros hanging around B/B+ rank now. Brush life going to have to take a pause for a bit while I figure this out.

 

[Forkball]

FINALLY got to level 20. I don't know how people hit it in a weekend. Even with nearly 100k in cash, I still can't buy all the backlogged weapons. And damn Spike, I was hoping you'd give me a free seashell for my accomplishment. YOU'RE SO USELESS.

Grats

I just recommend anyone who hits level 10 to go into ranked, get so many points and money from it compared to turf war

It just makes playing Splatoon feel that much more better, though.. I'm sure! If you feel like you can play it any time then it's not as special!

And, that sucks for the one game we had, Klaw.
Looks like you had two disconnects.

 

[DaBoss]

Tower control seems like it will be hell with a blaster there lol. You would HAVE to get off and deal with it or else you're screwed.

Is tower control ranked only?

Yes.

My dude out here counting the change in people's pockets tryin' to get a value menu chicken sandwich in these Booyah Base streets. :lol

Are you going to gamble it all away on Spyke?

Yeah like an MMO 5-man dungeon. You always have one tank, a healer and 3 damage dealers. The roles will be preset, but the class (weapon) you use to fullfil that role will depend on your preference.

Regarding .96 whether it's OP, I think the insanely slow fire rate balances things out. I have to connect two shots and that is very hard to do against a moving, lagging opponent. You don't want a head to head duel against me, movement and being sneaky is the best counter, but that's why I have the echolocator xD

Do we have a countdown for the treehouse?

 

[Azure J]

Is it true that during Splatfests, you can only wear the Splatfest tees?

 

[DaBoss]

PadWarrior, I can give you a Red Vector Tee. When can you go online?

Is it true that during Splatfests, you can only wear the Splatfest tees?

Yes.

It is in 3 hours and 45 min.

 

[je_ssi e]

Is it true that during Splatfests, you can only wear the Splatfest tees?

Yep.

Choose a Splatfest team to get a Splatfest T-shirt that shows all the other Inklings which side you're on. You'll have to give it back once the Splatfest concludes, but it comes with three empty slots, so do what you can to earn Gear Abilities for your new shirt before the event goes live! You’ll wear that T-shirt whenever you participate in a Splatfest battle, too.

Shit, I should probably level this thing then.

Thx. Let´s hope the tower music is not as annoying as it seems to be in the video.

 

[PadWarrior]

Probably not till 9pm pst I'm aiming for that. If I can get on sooner I'll post in this thread

Thanks Jessie - nabbed the tee - hope spike doesn't charge a stupid amount for it tomorrow.

Haha spike is shady like that reminds me of some guys from my high school years

 

[Azure J]

Why does this game allow laggy ass players into ranked? Nothing like getting screwed by shots through walls on Bluefin.

Ranked should at least be regional tbh, or match somewhat based on ping

 

[je_ssi e]

Should be decently cheap being a 1-Star item, but you never know with Spyke. Aha.

 

[Jeff Vader]

lol jumped off the map twice on Bluefin.

 

[Geg]

lol jumped off the map twice on Bluefin.

Last night I was playing an amazing game of Bluefin going into enemy territory multiple times without being splatted, and in the last 10 seconds I accidentally jump into the water in front of like two members of the enemy team. So embarrassing

 

[Isotope]

This is a slightly random question, and it's regarding weapons: The last update that rolled out with weapons (The Roller and other weapon (Name escapes me right now), I only have the Roller, despite two weapons being available. How do I get the 2nd weapon; is it all about level (I'm 17 FWIW)?

Oh dont tell me, I played against GAF room filled with custom dual squelchers, my inkbrush was in pain
But I'll never give up! I'll fight in the way of the Samurai!

lol just couldn't give them the splat eh?

 

[Grakl]

Yall brush players are silly af

 

[Sendou]

Playing now. Feel free to join me for some fun time <3.

 

[Azure J]

Yall brush players are silly af

What happened?

 

[Grakl]

What happened?

I'm not playing, just in general lol

 

[Jeff Vader]

lol at the rate i'm going in the hour i've played i'll be worse off than i started.

 

[Violet_0]

Yall brush players are silly af

the reason you use the brush is to embarrass other players when you kill them

 

[Grakl]

Want those S ranks asap

True

The other weapon they unlocked in the latest update was custom dual squelcher I believe. I can't find anything regarding level requirements for CDS but regular DS unlocks at 16, so I would assume CDS unlocks at level 16 or higher.

 

[Azure J]

No one on GAF playing now huh.

Also brush is life. We paint happy little squids.

Yeah the new weapons are still locked behind levels. Like the standard dual squelcher isn't unlocked until level 16, so the new custom one wouldn't be unlocked until some point after that.
