dog nougat posted:Just picked this up yesterday. Am pretty bad still, but having so much fun playing this. Still have yet to get outta turf wars. It'd be nice if there was an option to change your load out between rounds without completely exiting the lobby. I mean it's a p casual shooter experience, so it's not really the end of the world having to back out. The Aerospray is good at painting turf and nothing else. It has lovely range and eats through ink like whoa. It's my go-to "just wanna get a good score in Turf War with minimal effort" weapon. If you're having legit trouble against Aerosprays then use a weapon that out-ranges it, which is... pretty much all of the guns. For instance the N-Zap has almost identical rate of fire, a narrower spread, and a lot more range than the Aerospray. Try that.

Cicadas! posted:I love the bucket! I love it!  I just got the Tri-Slosher and it is very much my jam! I wanna try it out in ranked. In the last game they specifically buffed the damage sloshers do to the Rainmaker shield. If that buff still applies, seems like the Tri-Slosher would be decent there? I've been using the Splat Roller so far and doing... OK. I have yet to try Splat Zones at all. I used to clown people an awful lot with a roller in Splat Zones.

Bill Barber posted:Do it like upgrade scrolls in Maple Story. Use a drink for the sub you want and hope the first two rolls go your way, and then use your chunks for the last slot. If not, just scrub and try again. This is what I was planning to do when I got around to farming for abilities. That's how the drinks work, right? Related how do you get more of them? I don't think I've seen one for Ink Resistance, which is the one I'm hurting for the most right now. In Training posted:Even if they're natural rolls the third one still takes 30 ability chunks. It's easier to do 1:1:1 of the abilities you want What? That's super loving dumb. I'll probably try to find a few clothing items I like and spread abilities between them, in that case. Regarding abilities, though, from this link which was posted earlier, each slot only has two abilities it can be, depending on brand? Common and Uncommon? So Ink Resist only shows up on Enperry and Squid Force? Or am I reading it completely wrong?

I thought I understood how Splatnet works, but I don't think I do. There's a helmet up there right now with Ink Resistance, which I would normally be all over, except I just bought that same helmet in the shops and it has Tenacity (which is only found on helmets and the only piece of gear with that ability I've found so far.) When I tap on the helmet, the app says the common ability is special saver. What's it talking about? It can't be the regular ability the helmet has in the shops because that's definitely Tenacity.

(Since if I decide the shop ability is better, I'm screwed unless I can buy it off a squid kid.) Blank Construct posted:This weapon set is good, actually Yeah this weapon set is fine.

Dr. Fetus posted:Do you really have to complete every single level in the single player campaign with a weapon just to unlock a reskin? I like it. Seems like it'll be useful for getting the drop in snipers with the shield, and when the umbrella launches ahead of you, you can surf behind it like I used to do with Seekers back in the day. I tend to favor shot-gun weapons in shooters, so it seems like my jam.

Overbite posted:I'm ready to throw in the towel and just give up entirely on splat zones. I just cannot win a match of this. Got almost out of c- but then I ended up on a losing streak and lost a lot of meter and I'm stuck here forever and I hate it. I'm fine with everything else but in splat zones if a team gets it at the start (never mine) they can just keep it forever. And all the zones are on tops of hills. Try changing weapons? Some weapons work better in some modes than others. I got to A- with the Tri-Slosher. My bane is Tower Control. I hate it and I suck at it. I suck at Rainmaker too, but I like it, so I persist.

Speaking for myself, I have only dabbled in the single player because I've spent most of my game time playing online with friends/goons, so I haven't seen it for myself yet.

Onean posted:Just in case someone wants a serious answer, because cultural foods are interesting and mashups in two different cultural foods can be even more so, omurice is usually an omelette stuffed with chicken fried rice and topped with a bit of ketchup. Just like both the Western omelette and Asian fried rice, the stuffing and topping can vary wildly by personal preference, including noodles instead of rice, and makes for a rather popular dish. That's really cool! I love reading about stuff like that. It's fascinating what other cultures do with each other's food. I'd actually like to try an omurice... Lakbay posted:A backwards cap with tenacity just popped up on splatnet. I haven't used tenacity but it's head gear only and the only other pieces that I've seen have it are the soccer headband and mtb helmet so it's rare enough you might want to pick up Thanks for the heads up on this!

JackDarko posted:Is tenacity worth it? If so what does the loadout on a tenacity build usually look like? Tenacity is a good general purpose ability. It makes your special charge faster when your team has fewer people active than the enemy. This is an especially common occurance in Ranked, but it comes in especially handy when someone on your team drops. Pair it with stuff like Special Recharge up and Special Saver, I'd say. Special Power Up too probably. You don't necessarily have to build your kit around it. It's just a handy thing to have around. Escobarbarian posted:I don't even really understand which bit is the spoiler? Like, you really think just "what the boss looks like" is a spoiler? That's so weird. Who the final boss is and what he looks like would constitute a spoiler, yes. The final boss of the first game was just so rad with everything from the music to the general aesthetic. If the final boss of this game is anywhere close to that, I'd hate for anyone to get spoiled on that before they could experience it in all its glory.

I just tried Tower Control for the first time basically since it was introduced back in the first game, after having a miserable time with it and hating it. I went 6-2 and got bumped from C- straight up to B. Uh... why did I hate this mode again? Oh right, probably because I didn't have my baby the Slosher.

rogue wave posted:I don't normally like shooters at all, but goddamn if this game isn't fun as hell. I rented it to give it a try and I will be purchasing it immediately when I return the game. I'm only a level 13 player right now, but I'm really enjoying the the multiplayer game and collecting weapons and gear. I'm excited to re-roll my powerups or abilities or whatever on those soon too. I've only barely played Salmon Run or the solo Canyon poo poo, but those seem really cool as well. League Gear and Ranked Play will neat to check out too. Do most of you stay out of those last two, or are they pretty legit? I haven't tried yet, but hopefully I can get to a B- with ease. Is Turf War the best mode or should I be trying something else? I mostly stick to Turf War, and Salmon Run when it's available. Ranked is fun but it's too intense for me to play for long periods of time. I can only take it in small doses. Turf War is nice and chill.

Turf War is a nice way to chill, try out different weapons and strategies, and make some extra EXP and gold. Atoramos posted:nope, that was a bug that they patched (and reverted all clothes) You can still get gear with different main abilities than what you find in the stores. What got patched was slot-locked abilities showing up on the wrong equipment. For instance, no more Ninja Squid on hats, or whatever. There have been a couple hats with Tenacity that don't normally have Tenacity, and a desert camo hoodie with Ninja Squid.

Dr. Fetus posted:The Salmonids are a bunch of slow moving and predictable targets. It's easy to snipe them with the Charger once you learn how to use one. And at higher ranks, if you don't know how to use most of the weapon types, you probably shouldn't be up there anyway. And if you don't think the player holding the Charger is capable of carrying the game, then do it yourself with one of the other weapon types you got. When I'm charger in Salmon Run, my biggest problem is not hitting the boss Salmonids. Those things are huge and barely move and are easy to hit if you have even an Inkling of what you're doing. My problem is getting swarmed by the little anklebiters when I'm trying to line up a shot. The quick pew pew inking you get when you tap the fire button mitigates it somewhat, but there's just so drat many of them and I can't kill them fast enough. And if I'm spending all my time dealing with the little zit salmonids, I can't do my job as a charger. I can't count the number of times I've gone to line up a shot on a Steelhead or something and got bumped by a chum or small fry at just the wrong time and whiffed the shot.

Frankston posted:What the heck is going on when I'm being "splatted by the rainmakers barrier"? The barrier explodes when it's popped. If any of the opposing team members are caught in the blast radius, they get Splatted. Also if the expanding bubble pushes you against an obstacle, it'll smoosh you. It can also push you off the edge of the stage.

I unlocked the gold Aerospray today, decided to try out out after not using an Aerospray for a long time. Hah. Lol at anybody saying Aerosprays are overpowered or need to be nerfed. They suck. Sure, you can paint turf for days and rack up a huge score, but the minute you come up against any weapon that outranges you (which is pretty much ALL OF THEM) you're dead. And then the enemy who just splatted you inks over all the terrain you just inked, undoing all your progress. I had a bunch of games where I was the highest scoring member of my (losing) team, and I can safely say I didn't contribute positively at all. All I did was paint turf, die, and then go repaint the turf I painted before. Switched back to the Octobrush and golly gee gosh suddenly I can contribute again!

I had a long day yesterday, so I kinda... snapped at yet another useless charger hanging back waaay in our territory and refusing to actually go out and, ya know, BE USEFUL? So... I spent the last minute of the match trying to annoy him. First I swam around him squidding repeatedly. Then I got right in front of him and mashed the brush button in his face (I was an Octobrush) until I ran out of ink. Then I recharged my ink and did it again. Then the last 10 seconds I just followed him spamming "BOOYAH" constantly. He was still in the next, several, of my matches, doing the exact same thing.

What the gently caress, people? There's nothing wrong with Turf War and there's nothing wrong with Ranked, either. If you like Turf War better then by all means play it! At least try Ranked, though. You might find you like it! Who knows? I personally like Ranked just fine but it's too intense for me to play often or for long periods of time. Turf War is very chill. Salmon Run is my favorite, though.

I'd get some complainers here and there but it was pretty easy to ignore. I tried to play a few games last month and the instant I picked Torb I would have the entire team mic yelling at me or just picking all snipers because "if you're throwing, I will too." I used to play Torb on offense and now I literally can't because people will straight-up just quit the game. I also play an extensive amount of DotA2 and the Overwatch community is way way way way way worse, I played for three days before uninstalling. What the gently caress?! OK, thanks to you two, I no longer wish people could change their weapon after seeing what their teammates are using. Sure it leads to poo poo like all Aerosprays against weapons with actual range but at least it doesn't allow for poo poo like that! You are well rid of that game and its lovely community. Goddamn I have a bad taste in my mouth now.
