Topic: Splatoon 2

@Grumblevolcano If it's any consolation, Ranked will be receiving changes that limit each mode to a certain number of stages per month (I think 6). This should increase the likelihood of coming across a specific stage if you play a specific mode. Although it does bring the chance of coming across most stages in that mode down to zero (for that month at least).

I think the logic behind the two stage system is that players will be able to pick a weapon that is workable on either map. If it were permanently increased to three, the variation between the stages could be so great as to make weapon selection difficult. Two stages certainly keeps things more focused (although I do
enjoy the 2+1 Shifty Station system in the Splatfests).

I'm just glad they cut the stage rotation period down to 2 hours. Especially now there are four modes.

Super ready for the April Update. Could we see it this week?

Interesting post on the official Tumblr: https://splatoonus.tumblr.com/post/173105382884/we-have-an-aq...

(They've also given out some tidbits about the Octo Expansion, although they seem to lag behind Japanese sources.)

I always thought Autobomb was a little sub-ish.

Unless it's delayed to May, next week has to be the 3.0 update. I think there's a chance we'll also see Camp Triggerfish then too.

@Grumblevolcano My guess would be next Friday or Saturday, given the general pattern of releasing content at the beginning on the weekend. But you're right - there's certainly not a lot of time left!

What are people most looking forward to? Aside from Rank X, the thing I'm most excited about if probably the music. Some of the teased stuff sounds really good. It should also be a bit less divisive than the sea-shanty metal and acid elevator music of the last update. Which I like, but it's definitely an acquired taste.

I'm looking forward to the outfits too. I'm occasionally guilty of treating Splatoob as a fashion simulator with a shooting mini game.

And it'll be good having Camp Triggerfish back too. It was one of the most interesting ideas in Splat one that really worked. I just hope Flounder Heights gets announced at some point soon. I'm missing it's warm afternoon glow and symphony of cicadas!

@Grumblevolcano I agree that we may see 3.0 that weekend. Though I doubt Camp Triggerfish will be released as well. Usually stages are released a week before the next Splatfest, which is likely to be on May 12th/13th. So I think we‘ll get Triggerfish on May 4th.

How do we know that the 3.0 update releases next week? I’m just super excited for more weapon buffs to a lot of underpowered weapons.

@-Green- The March Direct said it comes late April and 1st May is a week on Tuesday. So given all but 1 day (30th April) of the days remaining in April is part of next week, it's almost guaranteed that the update releases next week.

Ah, okay. Thank you. I forgot that was said.

I should’ve watched the direct again

I really hate playing with people

I'm trying getting over level A+ and I can't do it. All the time I'm plying with guys that don't deserve that level Ahahahahh
I'm depressed!!!!

Wow, it is getting saltier than the sea in here.

Well the problem for me are people who are disconnection from the game
It's happening more and more often. Anyway It's a anti-stress game

So I just threw my Switch off a building and then jumped off the building onto the Switch and then ran over it in a car and then drove the car into the ocean and drowned with the remaining fragments of my console.

Because a guy on my team once missed the basket in Clam Blitz and I have no sense of self control.

I get it.... Yesterday I was playing with an ok team. It was my last game to take over A+ (I was so excited) . We're winning when the last 30s seconds something changed and we lost and I get back to the safe point. I've never been so close ... Ahhhhhh

@NapalmPsalm I know right. My favourite bit is the fact that someone would buy an online multiplayer game (a Japanese game, no less), change their profile picture to one of the main characters, and then delete
it in a fit of rage because of "
non-English" players.

Like, welcome to the internet dude. If you freak out at the concept of the outside world, then you should probably just delete your internet connection completely. It's not even like the game relies on or even uses voice chat for the most part. It literally makes no difference what country someone is from, other than apparently triggering some irrational xenophobia.

And the "tryhard loser" comment was just poetic. Like, why did he delete the game? Presumably because he was losing. How does one go from simply losing to being a 'tryhard loser'? You react to your losses in a hysterical fashion and do something completely churlish and self-defeating on order to 'make a point'. For example, delete your save file, announce it in the internet, and then blame it all on other people.

I guess the good news it that's one less tryhard loser for the rest of us to have to contend with.

I hope they buff the Squeezer's painting. At least in painting mode.

Like I really like the weapon, but it seems pretty bad at painting despite having a delayed mode specifically for that.

Bought this today and wish I got it earlier. I really didn't like the test demo so passed on it originally but thought I would give it a shot and glad I did. MP is bloody fantastic! The campaign less so....Any tips for a noob? Put about 4-5 hours into it and been playing Turf Wars and Salmon Run about 50/50.

One problem though....The hub world. Isn't it supposed to be 30fps? Because mine feels like it's nowhere near that and more lower 20s and under. It's not smooth at all.

Friend code - SW-1411-8437-2716

My advice regarding ranked battle is if you take ranks seriously, avoid Splatoon 2 until the 3.0 update is out. Rank X should help balance all the lower ranks more.

@DonkeyDiddyKong The original game on the Wii U had the same problem. The HUB world runs like molasses, I don't know why though, as it seems less intensive to render than an actual match with eight players, lots of physics and all the ink...
