it has scope in the name though!Because it's a bazooka / rocket launcher?
Thanks! Sounds like very committed workWe find scrims (private battle practice lobbies) against other competitive teams, and then between matches we discuss what we did well last match and what we could've done better. We practice whatever we think works well, so for some maps/modes we use different things than others.
They showed all the weapons in the Chill Season trailer, and in the Fresh Season posterThose can't be the only new kits, right? Did they reveal all the new content in the previous season announcement video(s)?
You literally made a point about this very recently, Splatoon 3 truly doesn't want us to play its new modes :/My day is ruined. SBlast garbage kit + special events limited time... awful.
Huge disappointment, Challenges are timed events, 3 two-hour rotations each total
I think they're deathly afraid of fragmented the playerbase...which is, ironically, fragmenting the playerbase.You literally made a point about this very recently, Splatoon 3 truly doesn't want us to play its new modes :/
This is fairly obvious and why in Splatoon 2 Salmon Run was on a weird schedule. It’s why Splatfests are Turf War only rather than all modes (including Salmon Run) contributing to a team’s performance. It’s why Tableturf is friends only and not open to playing against randoms.I think they're deathly afraid of fragmented the playerbase...which is, ironically, fragmenting the playerbase.
This is the wayI'm going to have to stop caring about content drops, new modes, and limited time garbage. The game is the game, it'll remain the game, and I'll play it when I want to play it.

I think this is the main reason, but fragmentation is an issue. People in top 500 X battles are struggling really hard to find matches a lot of the time.You know why they do this, right? It's not about fragmenting the playerbase, if they were worried about that we wouldn't have four fucking rotations. It's so you keep paying for Nintendo Switch Online. You've gotta pay to play that weekend specifically, because otherwise you'll miss out! Don't forget to finish your catalog! Make sure you keep your payment info updated or you might miss this season's funny sticker!
potentially controversial opinion: this would be fixed by banning x rank players from series and openI think this is the main reason, but fragmentation is an issue. People in top 500 X battles are struggling really hard to find matches a lot of the time.
Tbh I could see a potential solution herepotentially controversial opinion: this would be fixed by banning x rank players from series and open
I suspect that the main being busted in testing is why it's been hamstrung like this.Yknow, if the scope main weapon is busted enough, I'll still play it.
This entire game is just one big "We made something really cool, BUT also [insert massive drawback/annoyance here]"
And four of those are limited time events, with the 5th being private battles onlyI dont think we are getting a new mode in a traditional sense given that we have gotten the following new modes:
Tricolor
Extrawork
Big Run
Tableturf
Challenges
Thats already alot of new things that the devs are still trying to perfect. And who knows what the heck is going on with League. Based on how everything is being rolled out, I am very skeptical we will get a new mode like Clam Blitz.
I really think towards the end of the game's life cycle, they should put a randomized event (however much that's possible) in rotation every day in a "Fun Mode "queue. One day you'll have a Big Run, the next Tricolor Turf War, then Challenges etc.I still don't understand why Splatoon 3 has not introduced any new mode, as Splatoon 2 did with Salmon Run at launch and Clam Blitz later. It's not happening this time. Splatoon 3 is fun and all but when you consider that there will not be brand new Splatoon for a long time on new hardware (aside from Splatoon 3 via backward compatible) they should probably kept this game longer in the owen and make it available for next system. Splatoon 3 is not DLC by any means as some people like to call it, I bought it on day 1 but it's not like a this is the huge sequel deal either. Hopefully Side Order will be great, which it no doubt will be. As for next Splatoon, they will somewhat reinvent the wheel I suppose.

Really dislike that
I also don’t understand why they didn’t let this bake in the oven longer so it’s a launch title for the new hardware (hopefully next year). After about a year on from release it really feels like this mostly existed to reset player progression rather than moving the series forward in a significant manner.I still don't understand why Splatoon 3 has not introduced any new mode, as Splatoon 2 did with Salmon Run at launch and Clam Blitz later.

Any info on what specials and subs the new weapons will have?
Haven’t played Splatoon much the last season, so going into this season with new weapons and stuff, I’ll have 2 seasons worth of new weapons. i think I played for like 2 weeks at the start of the current season then stopped

Regardless of when the next console comes out, I don't see Splat4 launching until 2025 at the earliest.They can absolutely churn out an Splatoon 4 for the new hardware launch exactly in the same way the last three games in the series went.
At this point, the weird undercooked jank is a staple of the franchise.

I can understand why Big Run and Contest are time limited, but after seeing that the Challenge mode is time limited I am really afraid about Pair and Underground. (Pair should come first btw)Does anyone still have any hope that Salmon Run's Pair and especially Underground modes will actually be permanent additions and not yet again limited time nonsense? Underground is SR's hard mode, I have no idea how they'll manage to ruin it but now I'm sure they will find a way
