Splatoon - Get Inked!

[Taigiry]

Who's ready for some Heavy Weapons Squid? Or throwing buckets of ink on the enemy? First look at new weapons and maps.

[Joseph Staleknight]

Man, so much hype for August! Those weapons are going to be fun to play with, and the maps look very neat.

[Taigiry]

We now have a date for the update (August 6th) and more details what it'll bring. Also Urchin Underpass won't be available in online modes from the 3rd to the 5th August.

[Joseph Staleknight]

Oh man, I've been looking forward to this.

Also, LAN matches! This is going to be so neat for competitive Splatoon, especially if we can get less lag per game.

As for Urchin Underpass, while it's too bad we won't be able to play it for a few short days it should still be awesome when it's fully remodeled and ready for re-release.

why are my recent teams i'm getting playing always like ass...

I know the feeling, I had a 13 kill streak and still lost because one person was afk, and the other two were painting the walls

Yeah... or when the team is too dumb and ignores the Charger. *sigh*

I dunno, I kinda lost interest in this pretty quick. I'm not a fan of voice chat at all but it still sucks to not be able to interact with anyone

I think the reason why there is no voice chat is, because of the 3DS Swapnote Incidence.
And when i'm seeing some Voice Chat records on Youtube with some raging kids.... yeah it would be better for nintendo not to put that in because of their "Family-friendly" policy.

[Argumentable]

I'm 100% fine with it, and if they did have it I'd turn it off (I've long since forgotten TF2 has voice)

I just want something easier like "add as friend" and I'm aware you can but it feels out of the way. I'd still play with any of you guys but most of you seem to be euros or not interested. I'm wure I'll play more

Any time.

3DS Swapnote Incidence.

There's an element of that, but being Nintendo it also works to aid the game's flow.

I posted a rant online a while ago explaining the details, but basically the game plays differently to most multiplayer shooters, and the lack of voice chat pushes people towards a different gameplay style that is more suited to Splatoon's mechanics.

So the ucoming Splatfest in NA is Marshmallows vs Hotdogs. Someone knows the EU upcoming one?

e:/ EU gets North Pole vs South Pole!

[Joseph Staleknight]

Well, those are certainly interesting choices. Mostly because I had to decide on which side I'd pick for my region on a series of coin flips; I really like both foods and couldn't decide which one's better, so I had to let chance guide me.

Anyway, looking forward to pushing for more Sea Snails!

E: Oh, and have a thing I drew up for the occasion (spoilered for size):

E2: The release notes for v.2.0.0 have been translated! And there's some good news in there:

Splatfest changes.

• In calculating the final results, the winning percentage points (weight) has been changed from 2x to 4x.

Now battle skill will be very important in winning Splatfests (and in general as of Lvl. 21+)!

Started playing tonight. Getting used to the Camera controls was kind of the hardest challenge for me as I've never played a game that's really done that(?). Overall though I had fun.

[TheFinalSentinel]

Wow. Pretty great.
I really like the little cloud at the top left corner in the sky, and the way the 'g' curves. Good job.

It is? It works fine on my end. In any case, I've mirrored it on my Dropbox:

Well all I know is it is for me on both Firefox and Chrome.
Haven't checked IE. Not going to.

It doesn't work cause you're hotlinking from a messageboard you need to be logged in to

Edit: Or maybe a thumbnail or something
