Just had my first online experience (turf war) about 5 matches. This is the most chaotic multiplayer I have played (I don’t play much online except Mario kart occasionally). Crazy fun, half the time I have no idea what the hell is going on lol
 
I goofed around with a hydra today and realized how bad most stages are. In splat zone at least, unless the other team has a very, very competent charger, it was borderline impossible for them to win. I'm not even good with the hydra. Short range weapons have it rough in Splatoon 3, and I don't think there's an easy fix.
I also touched again the 96gal. When rng cooperates, it's really one of the funnest weapon in the game.

hagglefish and mako are the only stages that make me think "oh boy, a good map!"

Same for every mode on these maps but also some others only on specific modes. I love CB Museum and SZ Sturgeon, then CB Eeltail and CB Inkblot are very good too. On some other modes though they can quickly become horrible (SZ Eeltail :cringe: )
 
at long last...

I ranked up for the very first time

all it took was two weird matches with disconnects getting me there

kind of limped over the finish line but oh well

Dam the online is so addicting, matches are just long enough with enough mayhem. I have been playing turf war and leveling up slowly… what is this salmon run mode everyone speaks of? How do I even get there lol

Press X and select Grizzco. It's cooperative 4PvE, you fight hordes of salmonids with many bosses providing unique challenges to be splatted. When you splat a boss they drop 3 golden eggs and you must carry those to the egg basket, the goal is to fill the egg quota and have at least one player staying alive until the end of each wave (there are three 100 seconds wave in total, although sometimes there's a 4th wave with a super boss you have to defeat).

It's extremely fun

If you want to walk there, it's the red gated building immediately to the right at the top of the stairs leading to the lobby building.
 
I really hope when the first big run is announced they go all in on the "emergency broadcast" concept people are coming up with. I've seen some really creepy ones, and while I'm not expecting anything on that level, it'd be so awesome if the Anarchy Splatcast was interrupted by an emergency alert or something.
 
InkTV, one of the biggest Splatoon tournament orgs ever that retired 2.5 years ago, is coming back

 
I feel like I am starving on a deserted island waiting for any new S3 annoucement/tease. I blame everyone who didn't vote for Team Grub.

Question, I'm up to Level 15 and only get to play a couple Turf matches each day.

What's the fastest way to level up?
Click to expand...
If you can win somewhat often, anarchy battles are the fastest. You can also use food tickets in the lobby to increase your exp for the next 20 matches.
 
Has anyone reached level 100 yet? I'm kinda curious if you get any rewards. I'm guessing Super Sea Snails will be added once the Splatfests are over.

someone above mentioned food tickets, and I'd add that you get extra XP for 20 matches no matter how long they take (i.e. don't worry about them running out like I did when I started 2)

Haven't reached it myself (I'm at 54) but from datamines I don't think there's any extra rewards. Levels go past 100 now up to 999, and starting at level 500 the EXP cost gets higher every 100

I should not have imported my Splatoon 2 data from when I played a lot a back in 2018-2019. I'm so rusty and now my matches in Turf War are horribly outside of my actual skill level most of the time with people decked out in fully upgraded gear and everything... Oops.

That's a damn good patch. Lots of needed bug fixes, netcode improvements, some good nerfs to bring special spam down while fixing the specials that needed it. You love to see it.

Perfect timing too - I made it to S Rank tonight! Had some really tense Tower Control matches but three knockouts on the rank up match got me in. Now to get to S+...and then probably end my ranked journey, hah.
 
Fixing flyfish's coolers or whatever they are is more than enough for me, so tired of bombs deciding to have an adventure on their own elsewhere.
 
All those bug fixes and adjustments are great! I'm a little sad at some of the Salmon Run glitches going though, they were pretty funny. I was one of those people launched by the Slammin' Lid and it's one of the funniest things I've seen in a game

"The next update will focus on new features for the season beginning in December, weapon balance changes, and changes to the Splatfest Tricolor Attack mode. It is scheduled to be released at the end of the current season."

Am I reading this wrong or is the Pokemon Splatfest also going to have the wonky Tricolor battle? :/

Makes it even weirder how there was no event at all in October

man I always hated stamp in 2 and now it's going to be cracked
Click to expand...
Without someone using ink armor on the Stamp's team I really don't see how it could be anywhere near cracked, its weak spot is worse than a truck's blind spot
Edit: Ah, I guess you misinterpreted the line about chargers
Raccoon said:
oh fuck I can't snipe stamp anymore

welp fuck that special
Click to expand...
You can still snipe the Stamp user even from the front as long as you time it right between the swings (or shoot from the side / behind), it's just that there was a bug where the shots landed on the Stamp itself would pass through instead of being blocked like they should be when hitting a solid object.

No October event is interesting. I feel with seasons being 3 months long, having one event per month to look forward would be ideal to keep up engagement. Hopefully this is the case in the future.

On the Patch Notes...finally some morsels. As a Slosing Machine player I am okay with those nerfs. Reflux should have had a steeper special hit imo. But weapon balances in future may make the special adjustment fine. If I read about ppl having better netcode post-patch Im jumping back in full throttle.

ahhh okay cool thanks

I thought they made it invincible
 
So no weapon balancing? I'm on a phone and it's not really practical to read all those patch notes. I was hoping for at least a nerf to the sloshing machine hitbox and some boosts to the brellas.
That tick rate improvement, if confirmed, is huge. It'll be even better than Splatoon 1.

When the Goo on your SR team doesn't use tap shots to paint ground even though they have the best ground painter in rotation :(
