Splatoon: Still can't decide between squid or kid.

SaraLuna

There's a postbox or something on the left side of the online lobby entrance

Miiverse posts from the system software might work too?

This happens to me sometimes too. No other device in my house is perceptibly affected, though, so I'm not sure what causes it.

ink causes it

New stage dropping tomorrow, Bluefin Depot

EvilCake

I've tried to play Kelp Dome but it hasnt been on rotation whenever I log on

is there a schedule or something to look up what levels are playable and when?

My sister saw that the Splatoon bundle was 25 off (as well as Mario Kart being 10 off) and decided to get it.

But she's sworn her service to Team Cat, while I serve the Hound.

Last I checked, no discernible pattern was showing up. Obviously they can affect things (when new stages drop), but I know that once I had a message pop up saying I couldn't log into the lobby without downloading the news data first, so whatever is setting it is on a server somewhere.

I watched my cat try to climb a ladder the wrong way for a half hour last night

Cats > dogs

Mx. Quill

Nah, ferts are carpet sharks.

Casually Hardcore

Dogs eat cat shit, and thus they know their place.

Unfortunately, a matchmaking issue was discovered in the first Japanese Splatfest that resulted in long wait times and players unable to join matches. We have been working on a solution but will need a little more time to resolve the issue. In order to ensure that fans have the best possible experience and can enjoy the fun they’ve come to expect from Splatoon, we have decided to postpone the first North American Splatfest. We’ll have details on a new date soon!

The cat/dog dichotomy won't be solved tomorrow

I ended up ordering a USB Ethernet adapter for like $10 on Amazon and haven't had nearly as many connection issues since.

Taya

Kelp Dome and Saltspray Rig are my favourite stages I think.

!!!!!!!

Casually Hardcore

Yeah, one of the best weapons too.

jothki

One of them is a Splattershot Jr with Disruptors and Echolocator (pitiful accuracy doesn't matter if the enemies are crippled and visible), and another is an early Aerospray with Seekers and Inkzooka (Short range? What short range?).

Yukira

Yo, with the newest patch adding friend battles, who wants to try some 4v4 fun times this weekend?

Random battle has been fun to get back into the game, but I wanted to see if people wanted to splat.

King Riptor

My NNID is Kingriptor I don't get on a lot but if you see me hit me up

crwth

i need to get back into the splat of things

Yukira

The Splatling is probably my favorite gun right now.

King Riptor

I'm learning it's quirks

Kinda want to wait for the Kraken one it would allow you to make pushes that you can't right now

Yukira

The last couple of Skatepark matches have had people fighting over the center pillar. I've found that the Splatling has been pretty good about putting pressure on them until I can Inkstrike them.

Yeah.

Yeah ok.

I wanna do it, the splatoon

PaperLuigi44

I'd be down to clown (NNID is PaperDetective), but time zones mean I'm not always going to be on at reasonable times.

Anyway, I've been trying out the Octobrush and I like the idea behind zooming around to be annoying/set-up flanks, but I'd be doing so much more with my trusty .96 Gal. Also, I'm finding the Slosher hard to deal with, that thing is basically the ink version of a grenade launcher.

Depressperado

so I drove behind a like, Splatoon party van on my way home from the doctor last night and I have no idea what to make of it

it was like, a food truck being pulled by a truck and they were both painted purple with those squidkids on it and it said

SPLATOON GAME TRUCK on the back

That Pillar is a huge trap now. Spaltling can get to it from a good distance and be charger proof

I think one match I had about 5 kills from people getting up on the pillar.

I rarely see splatling users having much success on Blackbelly. I don't know how much tunnel vision your average charger has, but unless I'm out of ink I don't think of them as being very threatening (I use the 3K Scope). I also don't live on the tower and cover the half-pipe to make sure I have a heads up if I go up there. If they toss a wall early you have warning, if you spot them coming into view before throwing a wall you can shoot them before the wall finishes deploying.

That has been my experience, anyway. My preferred perches are the thin walls before the tower with the one by the half-pipe a fallback if I'm being pressured too much from enemies on the tower itself (a blaster jumping off it towards you is scary if you miss the airshot).

At least everyone isn't using it like when the weapon first came out, because Port Mackerel was hell with almost every player having a splash wall.

Once I have internet again I will probably splat with people
