Level cap of 50 is kind of insane. Are weapon unlocks still going to only go up until 20?

I have a hunch that the Slosher and Splatling weapons will be unlocked after level 20.

New Update: HERE

Update is August 6th???

niiiiiiice!

edit: cool, so for the fully private lobbies you can play with anywhere from 2 to 8 players. so we can have 2v2 and 3v3 matches on certain maps. even 1v1 lol.

 

[tonyh24613]

Question is, will those exp before the update count?

Probably not.

and even 1v2 1v3 and 1v4 and so on

 

[Punished_Snake]

Nobody knew until today

So level 50 is the new cap. So next update around Christmas I guess?

What I was trying to say is I know about the August update (watched the Japanese trailer too) and I knew that it will introduce new weapons, gear and raise the level cap (I expected the new level cap to be 30), but Nintendo is killing it with the upcoming update, it is much bigger than I have expected.

 

[phanphare]

and even 1v2 1v3 and 1v4 and so on

yeah really cool

I was hoping they'd allow for stuff like this

on a map like walleye or something it might be fun to make it 3v3 or 2v2

 

[eRonin]

I wonder if the addition of S and S+ will have an effect of pushing everybody up a little bit. Maybe I can finally make it to A-! Really keen to check out the new gear though. I hope there are new tops and shoes (I think they definitely showed at least one new hat in the trailer). I change my clothing up way more than I change my weapon.

 

[Geg]

I don't see the point of having uneven matches aside from novelty's sake I guess. A disconnect on your team in a gaf room is almost always a death sentence

 

[BlueSilver]

and even 1v2 1v3 and 1v4 and so on

We might have to set up some 2v2s or 3v3s as a second room because SplatGAF might not have enough members playing, though that could change if more people stay here with the update.

Woah, surprised by a lot of things there.

Level 50 cap,I was expecting 40 at most. You can get 3 player squads or pair up with another 2 player squad if you only have 2 players. The Squad Battle stuff is actually thought out nicely. And 1v4 and other numbers possible teams are not something I expected from private matches. Really happy that's the case. Can do stuff like hide and seek lol.

Really has me hyped for this.

1v1, Sniper only, Camp Triggerfish let's go. Lol

Or bumper brushes, Sniper training rooms, Charger rooms where each team has 1 Charger and they have to compete with each other for the most kills. Requires willing headless chickens that won't shoot the Chargers. Lol

S and S+ was the only thing that wasn't a surprise, but I'm happy they are doing it.

[ryechu]

Probably not.

I would be lvl 50. I've made at least 3 million which is well over the extrapolated lvl 50 xp curve.

 

[phanphare]

the best part is that now we can circumvent the map rotations and just play whatever the hell we want with anywhere from 2 to 8 people

I'd love to see some GAF 1v1 matches on Kelp Dome lol

 

[Dagobert Duck]

Im level 19 with like 10000exp left for 20 perfect timing

 

[Geg]

Ooh I'd totally be down for some gaf bumper brushes

 

[R.D.Blax]

Level 50 cap ? Rank S and S+ ? I guess I will keep playing for a while longer

 

[J@hranimo]

This game is totally getting a sales bump in August. This will attract so many more people to get it. Plus SplatGAF will grow even more too.

I wanna make the Bucket only room lol.

Squadwars will be really interesting.

The squidboards can finally get their tournaments going.

 

[Violet_0]

Quad Squads and S ranks might give me a reason to play again. The new changes sound good

 

[NotLiquid]

This is too much new stuff

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Level cap of 50 is kind of insane. Are weapon unlocks still going to only go up until 20?

That is what I wonder about too as level only does a few things:
-Unlocks ranked
-Unlocks gear
-Unlocks weapons

Spoiler

I missed one, didn't I?

 

[ryechu]

Now they just need to fix save scumming, fix the the mathematically asssymetrical steady state in the ranking system, add LAN, add replays, adjust the map rotation system, fix online hacking, and quickly follow through with their music, octoling, and stage teases.

 

[NotLiquid]

Going to have to make some huge OP updates with the next thread.

There were Octoling teases? Or are we talking about the fact that they have unmasked renders?

 

[Pokemaniac]

Interesting how Urchin Underpass will be "under maintenance" for a few days leading up to the update. Maybe they intend to change it.

Why would they bother to show artwork for her unaccessible unmasked renders? Yes, I believe they are teasing "something." What that something is i'm not sure.

First i heard of this.

 

[PadWarrior]

So we can get GAF teams against randoms? Noice! And 40 pieces of gear incoming is nuts.

 

[ryechu]

First i heard of this.

Its a relatively recent development. https://www.reddit.com/r/splatoon/comments/3en7bw/nwplayer123_managed_to_get_their_hacks_working/

 

[Geg]

Haha I'd be fine doing that as long as we can still ink the ground and swim around. Playing with gaf has significantly improved my ability to dodge charger fire and this would probably help even more

 

[phanphare]

man, I'm really hyped for this update now

I didn't expect it out so soon in august

 

[Violet_0]

First i heard of this.

save scamming is probably why a lot of the Japanese players have perfect items, like main ability + 3 subs of the same type on every piece of gear

 

[backlot]

I hope getting to level 50 makes it more likely for Spyke to get your orders right.

 

[Omega Kirby]

Welp Level 50 is a long way.

And god damn S rank now? I knew it was going to happen but still, let the raging begin.


Kinda wish they chosen a better day for this update, right in the middle of my exams >.<

 

[ryechu]

I hope getting to level 50 makes it more likely for Spyke to get your orders right.

fuck yes baby. I wanna get the 4 dmg up hat wihtout ordering for a hundred days straight.

 

[StAidan]

Wow, and to think that update will be here next week. That's some hype stuff.

 

[J@hranimo]

Squadwars will be really interesting.

The squidboards can finally get their tournaments going.

And then we can finally challenge them to a big community turf war: SplatGAF vs Squidboards.

 

[Triforce141]

I hope getting to level 50 makes it more likely for Spyke to get your orders right.

I hope there's an option for more accurate rerolls, or Spyke giving us a price reduction upon hitting lvl 50.

or vs Reddit

Yeah, I'd pay 60k to reroll a single slot or something.

 

[J@hranimo]

Oh yeah them too.

SplatGAF vs the world.

 

[PadWarrior]

I can't believe this is the one game that keeps me from going back to smash bros lol

 

[Blak_Status]

I'm going to buy an Elgato and start streaming (along with Azure J and Splatacus) in spirit of this update.

lol, I'll probably join yall in the fall or winter

I've never even considered the idea before this game came out but Splatoon has given me the urge to stream

 

[Neoxon]

So who wants to form a GAF team for the August Update?

 

[Geg]

I can't believe this is the one game that keeps me from going back to smash bros lol

I don't know how I'm going to find time to play MGSV in September

I probably won't be able to get used to non-gyro aiming again either

Oh those two stream ?

Nintendo really hit the ball out of the park with this game.

 

[SUPERJEM94]

I saw that post of Facebook, and makes me wonder what can they change on that map. Maybe in the future, other maps will get a change as well

 

[KingSnake]

Level 50 will make me go back to playing Turf War with randoms.

 

[atr0cious]

This is where I'm at. I've got the limited edition with the arm preordered, and I am planning on buying a ps4 with it, but now I'm also buying another Wii u and Splatoon around the same time for my girlfriend. Might just hold off on the ps4, and grab it on pc to save some money.

Anybody see the picture for the slosher in that update article? It looks fucking ridiculous. And the mini gun is a charger, so get ready for that.

 

[Blak_Status]

Yeah

I'll be ordering my Elgato this week.
