Topic: Splatoon 3

@BingleyBongley your not even wrong turf wars have i be on a team don't what they doing and get kill insanity
while i am trying to help them and its not too yesterday i went up with two roller on one team and also teh way its works is stupid i shouldn't be in a team bunch of player that get destory mind i'm good at the game and i use and heavy/mini splattering so i cat do that much so when team does that stupid stuff i am at a disadvantage

@CaleBoi25 I am! I love all the brellas pretty much equally (except you Vbrella) and use them all a ton. Nice to know that someone else here shares my suffering!

Just re-unlocked x battles for the season. Despite some annoying matches and a couple disconnects, things went really smoothly this season (I'd like to think it's me improving, but I probably just got lucky).

Anyways, this season, with the new undercover kit, I've adjusted what weapons I'll play on what modes.
I'm thinking Vunder/Both Tents for zones, both Tents for clams, and Sunder/Sbrella for tower and rainmaker. Are there any obvious problems here? (besides me playing Vunder)

Also, what are the abbreviations for the Tenta brella's because I somehow don't know. Vtent and Stent?

I know I probably could've said this earlier, but I really like how you can practice with your weapons in the lobby, whether it's before you start looking for a match or while you're being matched up. That is a huge quality of life improvement over Splatoon 1 and 2, honestly, and I've gotten a lot of good use out of this lobby to make sure I get the hang of my weapon setup. That is a feature I'd like to have in the next Mario Kart game, where in online, you'd practice the kart controls while the game picks the next course, instead of just being in a waiting room.

Splatoon 3 server maintenance under way in NA. Big Run rewards fix?

Ran the update, I don't see a big run reward fix. Still have bronze reward, which should be gold for the 141 egg total. Splatnet App still shows bronze for last Big Run.

Really off topic, but got bored of playing rainmaker, so to switch things up, I decided to play n-zap (the only shooter I've ever touched outside of turf) for my x rank rainmaker placement — and got in the top 2000 players. For me, who barely maintains an x power of 2000, this was a huge improvement. Why are shooters so strong? Have they always been this way?

I also didn't get the news or trophy after downloading the update. Somebody's definitely getting fired.

OMG. So the update didn't fix the Big Run bug? I got a high score of a 167 eggs. I want my gold trophy!

Did anyone's Big Run reward get fixed?

@WoomyNNYes
Nintendo_cs posted a tweet on Twitter/X that the update unfortunately didn't work and they are trying there best to fix it.

@Budda I'm starting to think Nintendo made Splatoon progress so unhackable, maybe Nintendo cannot fix the Big Run results/rewards? 😆 (lowering my expectations for a possible fix)

I have a Gone Fission Hydroplant EVP 200 badge, yet the game started me at Pro 3. Shouldn't I have at least started at EVP 40? Is Salmon Run's new EVP badge thing broken too? 🤔

@BingleyBongley
First of all congratulations!

I think the reason why shooters are strong is because they are relatively easy to use, there is a wide variety of them so everyone can find one that fits their play style and also n-zap has a really solid kit!

And yes they have always been this strong

How long has everyone been playing Splatoon (out of curiosity)? I played 2 at a friend house during the Pulp V No Pulp fest, then didn’t touch it until I bought 3 a few days after it released (well I ordered it but it didn’t arrive on time so… :/ you know how that goes.)

@CaleBoi25
I’ve started playing 2 when the pandemic started and I’ve been playing 3 since day 1!
Getting into the series was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made

@WoomyNNYes
The checkpoints start with the bronze badge.
Bronze -> EVP200
Silver -> EVP300
Gold -> EVP400
Anything below has no new checkpoint.

@CaleBoi25 I've been playing since the beginning. I was gifted the 1st Splatoon for my birthday on July 1st 2015. I immediately fell in love with it and played the hell out of it until November 2017 when I got my Switch and Splatoon 2.

@CaleBoi25 I got Splatoon 2 in it's first year, possibly in the first six months. I've played Splatoon pretty steady since.

Does anybody have any idea if the Brellas are actually funtional now? I enjoy using them in Salmon Run but just haven't tried it outside of that.

@CaleBoi25 I've played Splatoon since the Wii U original though my most played Splatoon game is Splatoon 2 (I doubt Splatoon 3 will overtake that given the Switch lineup is a lot more packed in 2022 onwards than it was during Splatoon 2's lifespan).
