Dr Cheeto posted:What's the trade-off of the Sploosh-o-matic relative to other Splatoon 2 weapons? A shorter range, higher damage Aerospray? As much as I used the Splash-o-matic in Splatoon 1 I never really touched the Sploosh I actually don't understand the point of the splash-o-matic in splatoon 2, or rather it's niche. Feels redundant with the Jr. and nzap85 and why do I need laser accuracy at that short a range

So how on the ball are Nintendo about game balancing? Because tri-slosher is loving absurd.

Also I've had the most miserable time recently, I've swung from 31-19 to 21-29 over the past two days. It seems like if I'm not totally on the ball and playing the game of my life every game then we lose because my teams are just consistently poo poo. I popped a 2x XP ticket and then went 4-16. gently caress.

lol if your fun hinges on your win percent LOL if you're thinking about replying that that's what a loser would say Actually, matchmaking and ranking is good because whether you are a C+ player or an S+ player (or an A- player like me) you get to have pretty good matches most of the time.

C- or C, however, is either a blowout for the other team or a long and arduous struggle for your team. Seriously. I've only had one or two matches were the teams actually seemed evenly matched. I know, I know, if you're stuck in C- you deserve to be there. Only having a few hours to play video games a day makes for some slow progress.

I hope you like lore! Anchovium or whatever is just an upgrade material. You might want it all if you are gonna go through and unlock all the hero replica weapons for battling, might as well make it easier and upgrade all the weapons so you can blaze through the levels a bit faster. If you're just interested in getting the story and maybe the Hero Shot Replica then you shouldn't spend too much time hunting them down.

They are technically sacrilegious because ainu religion disallowed making carvings of sacred animals but they were desperate for money and the tribe was known for its bear rituals. Now they are associated with Hokkaido tourism. I have one ironically in my house from the 1950s before splatoon 2 came out

We've probably had discussions about the lower tick rate in Splatoon 2 - I just don't remember them here. Anyhow, a week ago an amateur sleuth blog posting was published that provided some technical background on the issue.Oliver Brammer posted:Splatoon 2’s online experience is considerably worse than the original game in quite a number of categories. The game runs 30% slower than Splatoon 1, meaning the metagame is going to be heavily skewed to favour high damage, low time-to-kill weapons. Adding to that, players have been drawn into the title by bold claims that later have proven to be absolute nonsense. Good online multiplayer networking plays a much larger role in enticing people to play at a competitive level. If Nintendo are dead set on making Splatoon 2 a competitive title, then they should focus their efforts to make dedicated servers possible in 2018. Dedicated servers would also bolster security and anti-cheat measures. Cheating online became a very big issue for the original game, so they would be doing themselves a huge favor. My online experience has been smoother than in Splatoon 1, but I suppose peer to peer networking doesn't work for everybody.

I've had 99% less killed by lag simply by not playing against Japanese players all the time. I haven't put in the time to hit S rank though, least in A I'm still mostly playing against people in my region. Also I ...maybe once felt like someone who was plainly lagging got the advantage over me. It seems way more if they're dragging they get removed from my game when I splat then vs the last game where I'd beat some lagging jerk into the ground and then explode a second later anyway as their machine went nuh uh I got you first!

In Training posted:The tri slosher is fine. I agree. I've been using the trislosher a lot because I like its balance of range, spread and the ink armor special but it's not a super broken weapon that takes no skill to use and there are many counterplays to it. Having played that weapon a lot amount I have a good feel for its strengths and weaknesses. If I'm playing a different weapon I usually can handle other trisloshers just fine. If the weapon really were overpowered I doubt it would be such a simple matter to do so. If I were to make a balance change to the trislosher as it is, maybe slightly increasing the ink consumption would be reasonable, but I still don't think that's wholly necessary, and I'd hate to see a fun weapon get trashed because they decided to give it dynamo roller refill mechanics.

So at what point do you consider starting to customize gear? I was considering scrubbing a helmet for the Splatfest, but the game is still so early in that I'm not sure if I should still just be hording chunks or what.

It's not way out of wack like the dynamo roller was at first but it really seems like the side damage & range is a lot higher than it was in 1. I used to use it to and I know it's not too hard to 1 2 punch someone with it but I had to get a hell of a lot closer then than people have to with me now in 2.

You should care about your main abilities always as they're pretty impactful, don't worry about subs until A+/S.

If it turns out this is right and they want to nerf the side damage a bit I'm fine with that since the weapon will still be viable. My mechanics are good as-is so it will just mean me winning more fights against worse tri-sloshers and having some learning to do when I lose to better ones. I just hope they don't turn the weapon into a complete mess just to compensate for people's complaints (og dynamo needed nerfing, by the end of splatoon 1's life it was nerfed way too much).

If your Win/Loss is more important than just having fun playing (which is fine, you do you) and you are complaining that some particular weapon is overpowered, then for squid's sake use that weapon and GET GUD

I'd only expect something minor like 10% slower fire rate. Ok booted the game up to go into the test room The main thing they changed is the side blobs are more "full", they leave a bigger trail and this thing definitely seems to be firing faster than I could in S1 (went and checked on the Wii U) so my guess about a fire rate drop sure sounds right.
