Not really. I wish it was $20. Right now it's just kind of a rip off with terrible samey maps, and it's dull arena shooting.

I'm actually surprised how well they're treading this game.
There's been consistent support since launch and the important gameplay updates have been free.
I just wish there was a choice to select which maps you could play.

Splat zones are great on some stages and not on others

Okay, I can compromise there. In some stages though it just becomes a game of "can you make it out of the spawn area?" after one team takes control.

Pls no. I've played enough online fps to know it will always default to the same 2-3 every time. While the choice is nice, it would also lead to stagnation. At least here, the developers gets feedback and willing to change maps to make it more fun and promotes usage of different weapons.

Splat Zones on Towers is one of the most fun ranked modes in the game. And I had a lot of fun playing Splat Zones on Camp and Rig.

Originally the promise was "through August", now it's "through January". It's just going to keep getting extended because Splatoon is literally saving the WiiU.

Why do people keep saying this?

When the game first came out nintendo said they planned to support it till at least the summer update that dropped in july or august. It was worded more or less the same way the "still getting updates through January" thing was in yesterday's direct too.

I asked but never got an answer.

Can someone who doesn't typically like third person/first person online shooters potentially like this game?

I'm hoping this game is different enough from the genre that it barely qualifies, such as how I enjoy metroid prime because it isn't really a first person shooter or how I like smash bros because it isn't really a fighting game.

Also, I don't have much memory left on my wii u, how big are those updates they keep spewing out instead of just putting them on the disc?

It helps with any of the more mobile shooters. It's great on the Tentatek.

Not really. If you stack enough of it, you can make it to where you barely lose any special at all upon death.

Oh, you mean the brands?
Most of the brands have a bias towards and against different perks. For example, Rockenberg is 5x more likely to get run speed, but half as likely to get swim speed.

It's to make rolling for triple subs easier.

>>316502568
It's just is listing how many of items of what abilities wear added.
"Sub Bias" refers to how certain brands tend to grant certain abilities over others when rolling new one.

I thought there was no movement boost while shooting if you had Run speed, and only for splatlings your charging movement increased if you had it?

>Not really. If you stack enough of it, you can make it to where you barely lose any special at all upon death.

No, because it doesn't give that much of a boost, while also requiring a lot of slots taken up for something as small as a 1-second longer Kraken.

Every clothing item comes with a series of small perks. One is the main ability an item is guaranteed to have and the star represents how many sub abilities that item starts with (you can pay to increase anything to be 3 stars). Sub abilities are just like the main abilities but with a halve'd effect.
>>
>>316503287
As a different guy I actually agree with you.
Its all just taste but I think saver is shit, and duration is good for the reasons you said.
Also I'm pretty sure run speed only affect running without shooting, so it is kind of shit compared to other abilities but it isn't useless.

Splatlings weren't from June when people tested to see run speed helped that weapon, don't give me that sass. Where do you have evidence that it affects other weapon movements, I've never seen that before.

>>316503529
I'm glad you have good taste then too.
Right, I know Run speed helps running without shooting no matter what. I was only arguing that Run speed shooting/charging only had benefit if you were using a splatling.

The amount of Special Duration Up you need for Bubbler or Kraken is too high. You are better off making good use of those specials and keeping whatever charge you gain upon dying than wasting that many slots on Duration Up.

In fact for Kraken Swim Speed Up is pretty much Duration Up unless you are camping the tower on Tower Control.

The point is not to die but sometimes you do die. When I die with my gear I get my special back almost instantly. This isn't my main set because this much Special Saver is overkill but you get the idea. I run a mix of charge up and saver. I am probably going to cut a little bit more saver for quick respawn or ink recovery up. There are matches I don't die but having it is insurance. You already don't need abilities to do well in the game. Might as well put on ability that does help when you get splatted.
>>
>>316503980
I backtracked on what I said, according to a wiki run speed only doesn't boost running while using a roller. But yeah saver is shit, you'd have to have a lot stacked for it to actually have a noticeable effect.

>you'd have to have a lot stacked for it to actually have a noticeable effect

False. One main with 0 subs saves you 15.3% more of your gauge. One main of saver does a lot more than one main of most abilities in the game even if it comes at the cost of getting splatted. But even the "top" players get splatted at times. Saying don't die is silly.
>>
>>316504103
You seem knowledgeable about saver. How much would you recommend? I wanted to build a set for those times I have a bad day and die a lot.

I was considering stacking some quick respawn with Comeback initially, but I figured I might as well throw some Special Saver in there too. Is there any gear that has a Saver/Respawn as a main, with the other as a brand-influenced sub?

>>316504103

>You already don't need abilities to do well in the game. Might as well put on ability that does help when you get splatted.

I think swim speed up is a staple no matter what and it does change how well you can play. I'd rather have quick respawn than special saver to get back in and help my teammates faster. My third ability slot would be one of the stealth ones or ink resistance.

>while also requiring a lot of slots taken up for something as small as a 1-second longer Kraken
One main duration ability will up it by about 1 second.

Thank you, I hadn't checked that channel in a while. Is that a new thing with a patch that run speed helps everything while shooting?

>>316504103
I didn't know swim speed affected the Kraken too, that's good to know. Ink recovery is worth a slot at all? I use splatoon-calculator.herokuapp.com and ink recovery seems much worse than main/sub saver.
>>
>>316504764
I would imagine so, but I find it a hard sell to have saver take up a main ability when I could have one of the unique stealth ones or ink resistance instead as a third slot and keep my swim speed and quick respawn as the other two.

How much I recommend is hard to say because it really depends on the rest of your gear. I've been trying to work out the best ratio for Charge Up and Saver for awhile.

>>316504668
I agree with using Quick Respawn. The only thing I have to say in regards to that is I have multiple sets. Saver and QR synergize well. But my thing with QR is how often do I plan on dying. If I'm using my saver/special set I better not be dying/trading that often since I'm most likely using something that has Bubbler or Kraken.

>>316505080
That calculator has been wrong since it was made and the creator is either m.i.a. or doesn't give a shit.
>>
>>316505080
As a Splattershot Pro main, I find ink recovery to be pretty key.
>>
>>316505080
>Is that a new thing with a patch that run speed helps everything while shooting?
Nope, it has always been that way.

As far as Recovery goes, just run 2 subs. It is approximately the same as a main, but has the benefit of freeing up both a sub and main slot. There's enough Tentatek gear out there, too.
>>
>>316505228
>>316505329
I've been planning my builds taking that calculator as fact and it has been wrong this whole time? Is there any other replacement calculator or something or do I have to dig through the wiki each time?
>>
>>316505228
My goal is to have a Comeback/Quick Respawn set at the very least. I figured I should just try and pile some special saver in there to.
Would 2 mains of saver be enough?
>>
>>316505224
Ink Resistance at this point is near useless outside of the damage mitigation. It used to be god tier but most people have learned to play without it. And a lot of guns in the game spread ink rapidly. Shit is dropping wrong around you.

>>316505080
Here is a webm showing Kraken with and without Swim Speed
https://my.mixtape.moe/qqfgjl.webm

>>316505452
There's no calculator as far as I know.

>>316505617
2 main of saver saves you 77.8% of your gauge. I mean really mate for saver you need to know how fast you can build your special and how much you are getting splatted.

One thing about comeback quick respawn... You might do better just doing Swim/Run Speed and Quick Respawn. Comeback is okay but it only last 20 seconds while run/swim last well... until the match is over.
>>
>>316505901
>Shit is dropping wrong around you.
Yeah ignore that. I was trying to say ink is dropping all around you
>>
I like it but splatfest is antifun.
>>
>>316505901
What do you use to calculate or plan ahead your ability builds if there isn't a calcuator?
>>
>>316506114

splatfest, splat zones, and tower control yeah.

I mean splatfest is fine for a short burst since it's basically just turf war with another map in rotation but that shit gets old real fast. There's a reason I only really play for like half an hour most days at most.
>>
>>316506114
I like the idea but getting locked into 3 maps and one mode for 24 hours kinda sucks. I also wish the night cycle happened at normal times.
>>
>>316505901
>Ink Resistance at this point is near useless outside of the damage mitigation. It used to be god tier but most people have learned to play without it.
Right, I remember it used to be better but for modes like Rainmaker sometimes that little bit of extra movement can make a difference which is why I still run it. If ink resistance is really worthless in your eyes, what do you think about cold-blooded?

As a side note, are the japs that have all damage up abilities retarded or am I? I thought that only helps if you're shooting someone that has defense it?
>>

And I go in game and test my gear myself.
>>
>>316506114
Would be nicer if they did modes other than Turf War.
>>
>>316506228
>>316506282
They should really have separate ranked and turf wars splatfests, with ranked rotating between modes. Then combine the results. I prefer turf wars because it's no stress doesn't matter if I lose but in Splatfest I have to rely on everyone to not be shit and it stresses me out. And of course I perceive it to be that the enemy team has all the max rank guys who mastered everything while I've got literaly 6yos on my side and people D/Cing on my team left and right.

It's only anti-fun if you force yourself to play more than necessary. You don't absolutely need to reach the highest rank. There will always be another splatfest if you need more snails. Just play until it gets tiresome and then quit. Like any other mode.

Cold Blooded is one of the best abilities in the game. The problem is that a lot of people are not using weapons that have Echolocator or Point Sensors on them anymore. Squads that know what they are doing will most likely have an Echolocator.

I don't really run it anymore since if I'm echo'd unless they are an eliter they are making it known that they know where I am if that makes any sense. Echo can be a two edge sword. I've used myself getting echolocated to my advantage many times. Only Eliters are the real threat when it is popped.
>>
>>316507016
I'm not going to say that I never have lag with japs, I do. But it's always weird to me that I have more issues with lag and matches where teams don't even start full in splatfest when I'm playing with people from my own region.

That's too bad people aren't running it so I'd have more of a reason to use it. I like to run stealth swim so echo is the biggest thing that could make that useless which is why I was thinking of using that if ink resistance is really not worth it to you.

Not him but I'm not fond of it either.

Granted, that's mostly because I play the game pretty casually and I just have the bad luck to only ever seem to get to play it or Bluefin Depot anymore. I miss the other maps.

I tried out an e-liter on Moray Towers (in Turf Wars) and it is laughably over-powered on that stage. I had always known this, but I did not realize to what extent it was until I tried it out for my self. It's like shooting fish in a goddamn barrel. Fucking hilarious! I really hope the devs eventually redesign the Turf Wars version of the stage because damn.

I never ever played a shooter game before, and yet I had so much fun playing the testfire, which is why I bought Splatoon, so yes.

Even so, I would recommend to watch gameplay videos before buying the game, so to just make you sure.
