Splatoon General- Welcome to Crusty Sean's, how tough are ya?
493 replies, posted
i mean, the outfits are cool and all except for whatever the hell is going on with the octopus one but these aren't really the things i was hoping paying 40$ each would get me
I forgot they were retailing for $35 but I did remember it will take almost a month between the release in the rest of the world (November 5th), and North America (December 7th, the same day as Smash and the first wave of Smash restocks). I wonder if I should look into those NFC tags.
And they are release on Dec.7th.
Pretty wild coincidence... Could just be a general release date for many things from a business standpoint. tho. So no point wasting time speculating.
Disappointed they don't unlock the Octo Expansion outfits. The witch one looks nice at least

The Emperor Gear from CoroCoro is getting a reprint.
I realize this is my third post in a row for this thread, but I think this is important enough to get word out before the Splatfest starts tomorrow.

I wonder if that applies to Aussies, since we get lumped together with Americans now. If so, I'm gonna miss the Japanese.
God, why have the last two Shifty Stations been complete garbage? they're just "get to the tower an you win"
There's nothing even accomplishing about getting there it just feels cheap when you do.
Quite the step up from last year

Disconnects every so often aside (post match at the scoreboard so you'd scrape your balls across glass and still get fucked) I still got to max splatfest rank.
Shifty stations can blow me though. Just a chokepoint in the middle with two entrances per team. Real easy to get reamed on that stage.
I think the part that makes it especially bad this fest is that you have to use grind rails to get there, and from there to the other side. Whoever controls the centre has absolute control over the map. A pair of extra paths to either side would definately help a lot with it.
Also, I really like that film grain and ghosts that are on before the match starts. A nice adddition.
God I hate this Shifty Station so god damn much. It's the single worst one yet.
I don't think it's quite as bad as the last one with the bounce pads, but it's close. Shame too since it's the first one to have grind rails which are fun to use
No, I liked the one with the bounce pads. There were multiple venues of attack and it didn't rely on capturing the central tower. Slip by and you can easily reach the opponent spawn for added chaos. This one forces you onto grindrails and makes you into a sitting duck for whoever's waiting at the end of the rail, with no alternatives. Stray rain or booyah bombs can capture your grind rails too, meaning there is fuckall you can do but shoot the rails and waste time, knowing there is a trap at the end that you have to spring. It's an endless cycle of death. I hate it.
huh.. why did they already remove the Halloween theme, Halloween is in more than 1 week
New special was finally shown off.

Comes with Version 4.2 dropping on the 7th of November. More details will proabbly come over the week.
Shame we have to wait almost a whole week for it, wonder if they're shipping another secondary.

I guess no more new maps doesnt rule out no map updates. It'll be removed from rotations next tommorow, and will return with Ver 4.2

To start off, the game ticks at 60Hz. (Fun fact - when the game enters the plaza and halves the frame rate, it accomplishes this by lowering the entire tick rate of the game to 30Hz.) Each tick, the game tells pia to send packets, receive packets, and process any events. This means that the netcode also processes at 60Hz. However, Nintendo set a configuration flag that says clone data should only be sent every 4 ticks. This means that the tick rate for sending data is artificially constrained to 15Hz.
Why
Also spoiler alert here's November's Salmon Run gear.

Ugh, fine
A bit late since I'm not used to them doing stuff on the weekends, but we got ourselves a new SR stage, as well as the weapon kits detailed.

Probably for the reason that's listed in the article. Adapting the game to have less issues on potato quality connections. There are ways to mitigate the lower simulated tick rate as well (as unbelievable as that might be to some of you).
Still, I guess Nintendo could essentially just change some values somewhere and have packets send every 2 ticks instead of 4, effectively putting us at a 30hz tick rate (which is enough for a game like Splatoon). Maybe that's why they're taking connection quality samples as of recently, so they can determine if making such a change would pose an issue to a decent amount of the playerbase or not.

Mostly complete patch notes translations via Reddit. Beakons can be used twice before breaking and the World Championship Tee and the four Halloween hats can now be ordered from Murch and found on Splatnet Store being the big changes.

New Salmon Run map is live, and boy is it huge. And tall, very tall.
