Topic: Splatoon 3

I made it up to VP700. I was thinking about getting up to VP999 to get the gold badge, but chose not to. It is way to stressful and grindy at max hazzard. I'm fine with the silver badge.

@Budda Is there an event thing going on right now? I was playing salmon run with the new map, thinking it's still regular salmon run. Every time I got near evp200 I kept getting weak teams, so I kept demoting myself to evp140.

BIG BATTLE BUDDY BUMP
This fist bump is immaculate

Edit: but the quality sucks

@WoomyNNYes
No, there was no event. I'm not sure what you exactly mean. The badges? I'm sure you know that you can earn badges for every map when reaching certain milestone points at VP. And the new map is no different.
Earning the silver badge is already very time-consuming. And the uncertainty if I can make it to VP999 without taking too much time.

Ohhh, those badges. I see. Gotya.

Using the dualies are hilarious. I get to dodge roll circles around my enemy just constantly shooting until we both die. And flounder heights is even funnier. Did a rainmaker series there and I found it hilarious how I could just get to the highest point on the map, and dodge roll drop on the enemy like an ink spraying demon from your worst nightmare decending from the sky

I think I’m having one of those nights where either everyone I’m playing against is an absolute god at this game or I’m just playing like some seriously hot garbagio. Hopefully tomorrow’s games will be a different story.

Apologies for my slight vent of frustration. 😅

@KAIRU I’m pretty sure we all get those days. There’s times where your team absolutely rules and does everything you want them to, and then there are times when it’s the opposite team doing everything right. There’s times where you are the greatest player in the game and on your team, and then there are times where you are the polar opposite of team MVP.

And don’t worry about the venting, it’s a completely relatable thing 👍

There doesn't seem to by that many new clothes to buy with this update/season. I think I've only bought 2/3 things so far.

@TheBigBlue Yeah, it's kinda funny how things can flip-flop like that in the space of one or two games. I guess that's just part and parcel of the experience though! Hopefully I'll have a bit more of a successful day of Splatoon shenanigans today — provided I can pry myself away from Diablo IV, that is.

@KAIRU

Losing & winning will always happen with rubber banding in the matching algorithm. If you have one of those days where you're getting crushed match after match, if you turn off the game, and come back later, or the next day, you should get some wins. Unfortunately, I think Nintendo wrongly matches solo queuing players/casuals against OP teamed up players (that may have coms). I see that problem more often in Splatoon than I do in Rocket League. I think Rocket League seems more effective at minimizing totally lopsided matches.

@WoomyNNYes Rocket League, now there's a game I haven't played in years. I really can't keep up with all the crazy air tricks that players can do now and it just isn't the same game for me, despite the game not itself not really changing.

Back on topic though, I do feel like my games do tend to balance themselves out. I'll lose three on the bounce but then I'll win the next four, where some of which our team will win by a lot, then we'll get shredded the following match, so I maybe I shouldn't complain too much. I'm still having a blast with the game, which is ultimately the main thing.

@Fizza Did you ever figure out the seed thing? Because I figured it out if you want to know.

@Snatcher Tried putting it in yesterday myself, came back with 0 results unfortunately

@Fizza What I did was first put it in, clicked it, nothing happened, so instead, I went to the seed listing, from here it can figure it out by you putting in your rolls, so make like five rolls, and tell it each of your rolls so it can find a seed, im not sure how many it need though so it could be over or lower, so make sure you do give it your exact rolls, color of capsule and item inside, you should see it all in the seed listing page at the top of the site.

Anyone else not even realise Big Run was on this weekend?

Not sure if I'm just rusty after not playing in ages but Undertow feels a bit tricky. Not a lot of space to move around in, particularly in the middle of the map, which makes it pretty easy to get cornered.

@BenAV Yeah, last night, I booted up the game, and I was like, oh Sh__, big run's this weekend!? I vaguely remembered the date announced two weeks ago.

Last time I played SR, I demoted myself to pro 2 so I could farm kohozuna. But this time, I coudln't get out of pro 2 limbo. I tried playing solo, I tried HAZCO pool, and even played with a friend that's in EVP. I never got more than 92 eggs. It was so disappointing. It was such a terrible run of about 15 jobs with too many casual newbs, I rarely completed 3 waves. I'm glad I already have a silver Big Run fish medal! I like the silver better than gold.

The canada wild fire smoke pollution finally cleared out, and I'm going to ride my bike & carve some bowls and get a little air today. If I wasn't dying for some exercise, Id play - maybe tonight.

@WoomyNNYes Last time I played Salmon Run was the previous Big Run so it's been a while. Been clearing Wave 3 most runs so far (up to VP 170) but no big scores. Highest is 111.

@Dev9417 Main reason I didn't know was just because I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere since the announcement. Only found out by checking the NSO app.

@Wolfleaf The Charger is actually probably my favourite of the Grizzco weapons to use. You do need to be a bit careful with how you manage your ink but it's pretty satisfying how you can melt just about anything.
