I've tried my best, grinded through what little time I had to play BR.
Doesn't matter if people said it was easy, to me it wasn't all the time, happy with my 129 and you should too with your score
Had solid teammates that stuck it with me through tough rounds and i guess 129 is our best!
Not really salt, just hoping to cheer some peeps up, yall ain't alone at not getting Gold.
holy shit I just had a god tier run where everyone did their job and everyone played well, it got a little dicey at the end for glowflies but we pulled through with 155 so I think I'll stop for the night
Not a single gold today. Wasn't expecting a smorgasbord like the other day, but still a shame. I'm out of VP to sacrifice, so I'm done. Maybe I'll do a rando game just to finish it of. Thanks for suicides, man.
That stinks, but go for a freelance! You never know what might happen, because it happened to me. >didn't get gold scales today either >had almost full meter and joined a freelance room >we get a king salmon >didn't beat him but get two gold for our efforts
Big Run is OVER and Barnacle & Dime is SAVED!
The sale is over for those salmonids and they’ll need to shop somewhere else. As for cephkind holiday shopping can resume as normal, but not without your contributions! No need to wait for results this time, your gold egg locker decoration is waiting for you!
Liked Megalodontia and wanna fight him some more? Next rotation will feature him, so you can keep fighting him some more!

Holy frick did they even playtest anything? So many issues that sprung up with the new update
Guess I shouldn’t be surprised, another example of nintendo’s “seal of quality”
Ahaha, wow, it actually got skipped. At least my last game was pretty good. All rollers baby!
Alright so even if you derank you DO go back up if you have a checkpoint
This will be great since so long as you have it you don’t have to fret about grinding back up and can suicide even below EVP
Good to know getting that gold badge now has a reward. So, anyone wanna get their bonuses for Sockeye right now? Or should I just go eat?
Alright so even if you derank you DO go back up if you have a checkpoint
This will be great since so long as you have it you don’t have to fret about grinding back up and can suicide even below EVP
>get glowflies and then grillers both on low tide >don't know the strategy in low tide cause of how rare they are >we could make the quota but its close >subtly play like an idiot in the last 10 seconds so we lose and get another chance at a high score
i didn't get another high score
I'm gonna eat right now so I'm going to make a room next rotation
I just joined some bois right now. Maybe I'll play later tonight or something, but it has been a long weekend. Just getting my capsules out of the way.
It's time... It's time to remove the gold badge from my tag. It has been defiled, turned from the mark of honor to one of a shitter.
It was fun while it lasted... goodbye...
the announcement was actually kinda fun because they acknowledged shiver as the leader and frye and big man forced her to pay for an expensive meal at the food court
> My first freelance shift at evp 400 > Got matched with two gold banners and a jp player with the gold big shot badge > They got shore baited on sockeye while spamming booyah > Didn't get the quota in wave 1 by 1
kek
just did the new king and oh boy it wasn't easy to coordinate with the co-workers. You should do it on the shore, right ?
Am loving this new checkpoint system, it’s the perfect filter >All the good players who worked for their checkpoint badges get a head start and get to play with others who got theirs too >Shitters who couldn’t are left behind to flounder in their own shitter pool away from the actual skilled fishers

>high tide Joe
JESUS FRICK. But we got gold scale, baby! I love it! Thanks for the bonuses, anons, gonna go eat now. And, uh, sorry for dying so much in that last game.
>Cohozuna has red hair like lessers, Steel Eel, Flyfish >Horrorboros has green hair like Drizzlers, Big Shot >Joe has blue hair like Snatchers
Will there be a yellow hair one like Scrappers/Drizzlers? Or does Horror count for that
If it's a save file issue like speculated (which does match some people having it and others not), that may take awhile to fix while they associate the data with peoples savefiles.
My theory, leaning into the save file hypothesis that is mentioned in the thread here is that people that got a high score, and then got another higher score that replaced it caused something to break with the data server side.
I know it doesn't make much sense but it's the only thing I can think for why there's little rhyme or reason to why some people got their trophies and others didn't.
I indeed got multiple high scores, even multiple above the gold target, perhaps this could be the issue, anyone else who didn't get the award and had multiple high scores above gold target?
His Japanese name is Jaw. Due to how that's written in Japanese, when people first looked at the Japanese post about him before the western ones Twitter translated it as Joe.
If you want the full story, Japanese name was initially translated as Joe. Obviously it meant Jaw, but people latched onto it. The real name is a mouthful, pun intended, and there’s precedent with called Horrorboros fug so people just went with it. Anyone who calls it reddit is mostly just being a contrarian frick. There is one dumbass trying to make Donny stick.
>2 chargers on same team with the squiffer playing at e-liter range >Laggy splatana on enemy team getting melee 1-shots kills at e-liter range >Sunders being useless on both sides
I'm so fricking tired of inflated garbage that just coasts on other people and get to stay in S+ because Nintendo is too lazy to punish people who don't know how to play the fricking game being way out of their league and throwing. 4 losses in a row because little Timmy doesn't know his gun from his ass and thinks the objective is secondary to feeding the enemy as many kills as possible. If you're going to make a team game you have to ensure people are pulling their weight, no one wants to be stuck with a glue huffing nematode that mutated thumbs.
Low EVP is fricking hell. >frickers charging the shore to kill steel eels >cause all the lids and steel heads to merge on them as they spawn >spam ouch as they make no effort to move out of the hell they created
I'm not reviving these frickers. They can follow my 'this way' just so I can squidbag and leave them for someone else to revive.
I think people are putting together that it's because of the fixed reward tiers fricking everything up
It seems they didn't actually account for it, so a lot of things are messed up down to the tutorials not actually giving the right numbers
wasn't kinda the other way around, splatoon team basically replaced the older animal crossing team which is why new horizons ended up the way it did
or am I mistaken
I didn't get mine and I honestly wouldn't really mind if this was the solution, if it really bothers them that some will get two just force so players can only have one in the next patch (assuming that isn't how it already works)
I love already being at 600, bros. It's gonna make actually being able to play Max Hazard consistently pretty easy. Woe be to those who haven't gotten their checkpoints yet. I can't imagine what sort of hell is happening down there
TOURNEY INFO >January 13th, 2024 at 1pm EST
due to an anon wanting it to be pushed forward >what's the format?
A Bo5 for each gamemode, where participants will be put on a team based on gamemode preference. With 5 gamemodes to play, that means 20 anons can cleanly fit on a roster.
Forms are also now up on /vg/, so i've decided to clean up the old form I used
https://forms.gle/C7AP9maB4TGMwnYX7 >announcing this more than a month in advance
Yeah, it's just a wee bit early, but we are still open to changes. Are you good with the time? Are you good with the format? If so, signups are right there. And if not, tell me what I can adjust.
BOOYAH Ganker! we currently have 12 people who signed up!
Some people can already see their Big Run data in the app, I can't and also didn't get the trophy.
So yeah, this is looking more and more likely to be a data loss/data corruption issue which may take awhile to fix. The game skipping the announcement outright was probably a failsafe due to trying to read corrupt data.
>153 score >Silver
This is grounds for a class-action lawsuit.
>143 >Was supposed to get gold >YOU GOT A SILVER EGG
NOGAMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Yea, so it seems that if it bugged out for ypu they instead give you a reward based on your percentage like the old way instead (hence people getting silver instead of gold; because that was your percentage)
While I got gold I'm very mad because I helped my nephew get 141 which is supposed to be gold, but now all he's going to get is silver. I'm gonna go to japan and strangle nogami myself for this bullshit
Had a match with some hyper skiled freelancers at 999 EVP during the big run >80 eggs in wave 1(mothership) >65 eggs in wave 2-normal tide
and then the game disconnects me in wave 3
"Hehe. There was no reward system change. It was a test to observe who were the true workers and who slacked off on the job once they thought they hit "gold". I shall award the true employees of Grizzco"
I don't know how they'll fix this mess but it's so funny to see SR gods teaching a hard lesson to interns. Silver is 9 eggs above the set gold goal lol
Fixing an issue that shouldn’t be an issue in the first place shouldn’t be lauded, so i’m still pissed about it
But hey, It’s okay when Nintendo does it, right?
Even if it's fixed people who got gold with the new system are gonna have a bad taste in their mouth. They'll get their gold egg after being reminder they're actual bronze shitters lol
It's a bit awkward. I saw an anon in the pool at evp 30 looking for a player, I wanted to help him but I was already 500+ and I didn't wanted to frick his room
So wait, now I can not playing the shift and straight up suicide as much as possible and I'll be put back at my checkpoint on the next rotation ? It sounds crazy for scales farming
I still found him harder than the other two kings because it doesn't die easily. I don't want to fight him on high tide junction or smokeyard, on sockeye I fought him by the shore and it was annoying how big he actually is.
Eels are annoying because they can bounce you off but the invulnerability frame (outside of the allergy to water which is funny considering it's a kraken) is invaluable in sr.
Honestly I felt Flyfish were reasonable this time around since you can reach nearly all the spawns from mid, and there's nearby platforms to climb up for all of them.
Yea drizzlers had some pretty sneaky positions. Eels are almost always a problem especially on NT/HT since it's hard to tell who it's after until after it reaches the basket area. Flyfish and Stingers had very nice positions overall, too. Stingers would walk a mile before doing anything. Worst thing Flyfishes would do is sneak up on you when focusing on one side in HT
I feel like the only thing Freelancers actually care about is getting the last hit on a boss because I watched my 3 freelancers camp a Flipper Flopper and all die because they ignored the Fish Stick painting their feet so they couldn't get away from a Maw
I noticed the badge farming have gotten way worst since you can see the number you've killed. Some people are ready to make the shift fail just to kill a boss.
Yea I know that I should never expect Freelancers to kill trash but it's way too often I see them die to a horde surrounding them because they waiting for a drizzler to land so they can stand there and wait for it to shoot.
But for some reason everyone apparently has their golden Fish Stick badge because if i'm not on them the second they land the entire map is greened by them
>everyone fights over fish sticks so I don't bother >I get some trash like tenta brella or H-3, suddenly fish sticks are invisible to the rest of the team
>turn on game >receive golden egg
It's just that shrimple. Kudos to all my guys I fought with to get that 180 high score. Shit was mad fun, and got a lot of gold scales over the weekend festivities. You guys kick ass >city is full of salty posts over people only getting silver
Delicious. Though given how high the 5% threshold is getting, I do see that perhaps the change might have been slightly warranted. 135 is still a stupidly low gold score, though.
I think the problem with Shore bosses in 3 is they exist in a game with buffed lessers. Flyfish and Stingers were a pain in 2 but you could maneuver around the horde and kill the boss quickly. Now you have a mass of faster and stronger lessers between you and the shore boss so by the time you get to them another one has spawned on the opposite side of the map
They're happy that shops are open again. Big Man wants to splurge and Shiver tells him off. Frye then says that since Shiver's the leader now she will treat them for dinner
>Aim at a sort of angle so the pellets fall onto the smallfry as they rotate
Figured as much, but I'm usually swamped with the tenta so not much time to give it a shot. Should try it next opportunity I get.
man without big run happening freelancers just dont give a single frick about putting in eggs. lost on wave 2, i put in 28 eggs and my teammates got 4, 5, and 14. i miss barnacle and dime already
I'd do this a lot if we had Suction Bombs instead of Splat Bombs. Seems too inconsistent to do with how chaotic things can get. Getting your bomb to not bounce out of the Flyfish basket is hard enough as is.
I've tried my best, grinded through what little time I had to play BR.
Doesn't matter if people said it was easy, to me it wasn't all the time, happy with my 129 and you should too with your score
Had solid teammates that stuck it with me through tough rounds and i guess 129 is our best!
Not really salt, just hoping to cheer some peeps up, yall ain't alone at not getting Gold.
first for the clique
Reminder: Grizzco loves you
so frye has sisters huh, wonder if we'll ever get to see them, unless she meant close friends instead of family
This was confirmed line a year ago, people only finding out about it now?
I hope some of you aren't burnt out on Salmon, since I want to get this rotation on Smoekeyard done asap.
holy shit I just had a god tier run where everyone did their job and everyone played well, it got a little dicey at the end for glowflies but we pulled through with 155 so I think I'll stop for the night
>I think I'll stop for the night
you have 20 minutes left might as well play until it's over
3/4 suicide 9999
Doing last minute suicide runs. Get your fricking asses in here before I send my veemo to slap your shit.
If she does then i’ll come over and slap her ass
>grizz dualies on suicide run
Bitch
Bigshot kills got me acting unwise
>make suicide room
>don't establish rules to know who has full meter
Everytime
Your extra meter means nothing homie if you join suicide you're killing yourself 5 times like everyone else, you ain't special.
I LOVE YOU GRIZZCO SPLATANA
bruh
I can't believe we fricked up that Mothership wave.
Congrats!
Welp we tried
Now I'm out of EVP points so gtg
ggs
Empty meter and up for last second suicide room, who's up
Not a single gold today. Wasn't expecting a smorgasbord like the other day, but still a shame. I'm out of VP to sacrifice, so I'm done. Maybe I'll do a rando game just to finish it of. Thanks for suicides, man.
That stinks, but go for a freelance! You never know what might happen, because it happened to me.
>didn't get gold scales today either
>had almost full meter and joined a freelance room
>we get a king salmon
>didn't beat him but get two gold for our efforts
>I'm still at profreshional
gonna have to derank myself more. GG's suicide crew.
You're gonna do some games afterwards, right? Might as well join you for one boss and bonuses.

>special report
>instantly skips
wait what
I thought I was tripping
Between that and the fact we didn't get the trophy I think something broke.
It happened to me too. Did you get your prize?
Holy shit I thought I was the only one. Wtf just happened?
Dialog bug. Tldr: They legit didn’t even code the game properly to accommodate the the new reward system so it just skips it and locks you out of your reward permanently
>locks you out of your reward permanently
say sike right now
You have to get the right announcement for the reward to distribute, instead it skips over it and locks you out
Only before when they had to calculate percentages, this time you should’ve gotten the right announcement since they aren’t doing that anymore
>permanetly
We had to wait till the second rotation to get everything anyway
Frick, this is brutal. Even the cannon wave wasn't very free.
Wow.
>They legit didn’t even code the game properly to accommodate the the new reward system so it just skips it and locks you out of your reward permanently
So your saying we aren't getting shit? FFS the game has been buggy since the update.
There's been distribution bugs like this before, they can still fix it and deliver everyone's shit afterward. They got all the telemetry.
Well that's one way to keep gold badges rare still.
>When going into sleep more you now have to reconnect online through the lobby instead of reconnecting easily
>Lobbies doing forever loading before giving you an error if you try joining a full lobby

Holy frick did they even playtest anything? So many issues that sprung up with the new update
Guess I shouldn’t be surprised, another example of nintendo’s “seal of quality”
>permanently
>non-top 5% will never get their undeserved gold trophy
It didn't happen to everybody, I got my gold trophy.
Surely 152 eggs would've been enough for bronze under the old system right?
I'd just like to say: "Fresh news, never frozen" > "Hold the phone"
Deep Cut had to pick between the working script or the Wendy's sponsorship
I haven't turned on my game yet, so if they put out a hotfix, I'll get my trophy?
Didn't get the big run ended announcement. Huh ?
Worked on my machine. Got my Golden Egg and Badge too.
how
I want my gold egg
lol I'm back at vp400 after being apprentice
lol I did the same thing. Good news for us suiciders
Good to hear. Now I can just straight up suicide to go-getter right at the start of shifts
Me neither. I suppose it's broken for everyone. Maybe they'll release it next rotation change, that's the way it was in the past I think.
Ahaha, wow, it actually got skipped. At least my last game was pretty good. All rollers baby!
Good to know getting that gold badge now has a reward. So, anyone wanna get their bonuses for Sockeye right now? Or should I just go eat?
I'm gonna eat right now so I'm going to make a room next rotation
Gotta wage but could maybe start grinding up for a silver badge to hopefully go for gold in the future
>nonstop flyfish and stingers
>3 fish sticks immediately at basket
We had no chance there, this is a very low rate of fire loadout. Christ.
Perhaps one day in the future.
And now for the stages rotation kek
This fricking update
Alright so even if you derank you DO go back up if you have a checkpoint
This will be great since so long as you have it you don’t have to fret about grinding back up and can suicide even below EVP
we could start suicides immediately
HOST
n-no i'm tired actually

Not really a big surprise, is it?
I just joined some bois right now. Maybe I'll play later tonight or something, but it has been a long weekend. Just getting my capsules out of the way.
I guess Deep Cut lost the part of the script congratulating us for defeating the Salmonid
>Salmonids won Barnacle & Dime, screw you no prizes
SQUIDMAS IS OVER
good, they can fricking keep it, we just got it but better (robo rom-en) anyway
>tfw can't host anymore on the maps where i don't have 999 without getting exposed
it's over
bro I don't even have bronze on all maps
people will eventually see my measly 40evp

Dangerously based freelancers.
It's time... It's time to remove the gold badge from my tag. It has been defiled, turned from the mark of honor to one of a shitter.
It was fun while it lasted... goodbye...
I finally got it but it doesn't feel special now
at least you still have your gold trophies which definitely won't be repeated
I saw the announcement just fine, but I wasn't playing when BR ended
I didn't see it and I wasn't playing my switch when BR ended.
frick is this it? I was playing went it ended and it skipped
nvm I'm tired and misread the second post
No, I just said that I didn't see the announcement and that I wasn't playing when BR ended.
I saw the announcement and got the figure and I was playing a match until after it ended.
What the frick, man. We just starteed and already got a HLM-tier game.
Uhh does this mean you can just suicide endlessly? Like, even if you're 0 rank you can still play, right?
Only thing would be diminishing returns in scales at lower points.
Yes I was at apprentice at big run and I'm now at 400 EVP
Yeah, just means lower rates. Gold and silver start at 0% and 5% and max at 3% and 20%.
the announcement was actually kinda fun because they acknowledged shiver as the leader and frye and big man forced her to pay for an expensive meal at the food court
noa probably trying to cover any traces of shiver being the leader by auto skipping the news for us
Wait some of you can still fricking play big run?
Oh shit they messed up bad

inb4 every player gets a gold egg and badge as an apology
I'd accept that since it's so piss easy to get 135 in this Big Run everyone in EVP should have gotten it.

Please don't leave me by the Basket, I have the Classic Squiffer and I'm scared.
LMAO imagine being an NA player
I'M NOT EVEN NA AND I DIDN"T GET IT FRICK YOU
I got it in NA
im in NA and i got it
There was a good Splacoom thread if any of you guys missed it.

just did the new king and oh boy it wasn't easy to coordinate with the co-workers. You should do it on the shore, right ?
Gold, yay
EU player here, I didn't get my trophy too so I guess it's a worldwide bug

>All the good players who worked for their checkpoint badges get a head start and get to play with others who got theirs too
>Shitters who couldn’t are left behind to flounder in their own shitter pool away from the actual skilled fishers
So long as you start early freelancing should be far less painful than before
and most importantly, a head start on 999 if you don't have all the time in the world to grind it out
you literally have 999ers in the pool who are dogshit
I assume we'll be able to view our percentage score during the next stage rotation? Splatnet currently doesn't show it anywhere.
>high tide Joe
JESUS FRICK. But we got gold scale, baby! I love it! Thanks for the bonuses, anons, gonna go eat now. And, uh, sorry for dying so much in that last game.
>Defeated Joe twice during Big Run
>22 bronze followed by 20 bronze
>I didn't get my trophy
I'm so fricking mad right now
It was joever before it even began.
I can't believe he ate all the trophies.
please don't use specials on mudmouths if it isn't wave 3
I'll do what I damn-well like, thank you very much.
moron
Everytime I see somebody in EVP use Booyah Bomb on wave 1 Mudmouths or Tornado, I die a little inside.
Just realized Joe got blue hair. That’s neat
Danger hair joette
Ya gotta have blue hair
>Cohozuna has red hair like lessers, Steel Eel, Flyfish
>Horrorboros has green hair like Drizzlers, Big Shot
>Joe has blue hair like Snatchers
Will there be a yellow hair one like Scrappers/Drizzlers? Or does Horror count for that
Gigascrapper fourth king please.
maybe in splatoon 4, I don't think there'll be any more new kings this game
If the trophy isn't fixed in the next rotation it's probably not getting fixed until the next path. i.e. mid-January.
https://twitter.com/Coxxs/status/1731477610432233647
They can issue hotfixes and they have before, this homie is moronic
If it's a save file issue like speculated (which does match some people having it and others not), that may take awhile to fix while they associate the data with peoples savefiles.
My theory, leaning into the save file hypothesis that is mentioned in the thread here is that people that got a high score, and then got another higher score that replaced it caused something to break with the data server side.

I indeed got multiple high scores, even multiple above the gold target, perhaps this could be the issue, anyone else who didn't get the award and had multiple high scores above gold target?
every person who plays the damn game is bound to get multiple high scores above gold with how low it was
yeah well it's seeming like most of the thread has the issue so it checks out
do we really call this new king, "Joe"?
call him whatever you want, joe's short, simple and amusing so it's what I'll mostly use
Reddit calls her that. We call her meg
His Japanese name is Jaw. Due to how that's written in Japanese, when people first looked at the Japanese post about him before the western ones Twitter translated it as Joe.
If you want the full story, Japanese name was initially translated as Joe. Obviously it meant Jaw, but people latched onto it.

>and there’s precedent with called Horrorboros fug
By that same precedent I call Cohozuna "Fatty"
I call Horrorboros Boris 🙂
I can't believe I've the only one calling it Meg.
We already have a Meg, you dolt.
>”Li Bingbing”
What kind of fricking name is that?
Chinese
Crazy Frog
We also call cohozuna either fatty or fat frick.
I call him ‘zuna
I've also heard others call him coho
I call him both coho and fatfrick
>Anyone who calls it reddit is mostly just being a contrarian frick.
I like Joe. Especially when jap player calls it in videos
lol please link me some that sounds hilarious
?si=pVCf-wDNFfTb92mH
Here is one. I don’t know much Japanese but it’s just funny when you can hear it
lol this has me grinning like a fool I can surprisingly understand a good amount, at least enough to get the general points of what's been said
>reddit good
I forgot how much I hate dualies and splashdown as a short range weapon player. As if the game didn’t favor long range enough as is
it's not even long range
it's like mid range
Yes, but dualies and splashdown are a check on shortrange and have no effect on long range. i’m not calling them long range weapons
understandable
Oof sorry p I'm dipping out.

This season is pretty scuffed so far
that's putting it mildly.
Joe can only lift so much.
I expect Frosty Fest to be a disaster when it happens. Like hilariously imbalanced teams and a Tricolor map that functional does not work.
I'm so fricking tired of inflated garbage that just coasts on other people and get to stay in S+ because Nintendo is too lazy to punish people who don't know how to play the fricking game being way out of their league and throwing. 4 losses in a row because little Timmy doesn't know his gun from his ass and thinks the objective is secondary to feeding the enemy as many kills as possible. If you're going to make a team game you have to ensure people are pulling their weight, no one wants to be stuck with a glue huffing nematode that mutated thumbs.
Low EVP is fricking hell.
>frickers charging the shore to kill steel eels
>cause all the lids and steel heads to merge on them as they spawn
>spam ouch as they make no effort to move out of the hell they created
I'm not reviving these frickers. They can follow my 'this way' just so I can squidbag and leave them for someone else to revive.
>Low EVP
You mean EVP 400?
you joke but I almost had a wave 1 wipe at 400 EVP because of my moronic teammates.
So what? You have 400 to burn now
With the new badge rank system low EVP is gonna be a wasterland yeah.
Doomposter bros…?
we just had an event, give it a day or two
>Turn on game to get rewards
>No rewards
>Salmon run is now at 400 EVP
WTF is this? I already have my 999 on this map so the boost is useless to me.
so you won't help low evp people in the pool who haven't got the 999 badge yet
>Helping scrubs
If you didn't get your gold badge purely through freelance you didn't earn it.
what's the lore behind the enperry guys stealing this shirt from takoroka
it even has the takoroka logo
Only checkpoint I don't have is marooner's bay
On a scale to 1 to 10, how fricked I am ?
Did the people who didn’t get an award also didn’t get the full initial Big Run dialog last week? Wanted to know if there’s a correlation
No I got it but didn't get the reward
I got the initial big run dialogue but no reward
I got the full dialogue last week, no reward tonight.
Got neither
got the initial dialogue but no award dialogue, seemingly no correlation
I got the announcement dialogue, but no ending dialogue.
I think people are putting together that it's because of the fixed reward tiers fricking everything up
It seems they didn't actually account for it, so a lot of things are messed up down to the tutorials not actually giving the right numbers
Just got this.
How do they frick up this bad?
small indie company please understand.
By unironically handing Splatoon fully to the Animal Crossing devs.
>handing
It was always the Animal Crossing devs.
wasn't kinda the other way around, splatoon team basically replaced the older animal crossing team which is why new horizons ended up the way it did
or am I mistaken
smrall indie tream prease undustandu
They'll probably make the big run ending dialogue replay for everyone. I remember something similar happened for a splatfest results.
>They then frick THAT up and people that DID get egg trophies get a second one
>Gee Anon, TWO eggs?
I didn't get mine and I honestly wouldn't really mind if this was the solution, if it really bothers them that some will get two just force so players can only have one in the next patch (assuming that isn't how it already works)
I love already being at 600, bros. It's gonna make actually being able to play Max Hazard consistently pretty easy. Woe be to those who haven't gotten their checkpoints yet. I can't imagine what sort of hell is happening down there
It's Sockeye, so it's an immediate toss between pretty easy to "Where did everyone go, our Egg Basket is being overrun. Please help me, you bastards."
Me
Can't believe the people that kept playing for fun got punished for it while the ones that did 3 games and quit got rewarded
TOURNEY INFO
>January 13th, 2024 at 1pm EST
due to an anon wanting it to be pushed forward
>what's the format?
A Bo5 for each gamemode, where participants will be put on a team based on gamemode preference. With 5 gamemodes to play, that means 20 anons can cleanly fit on a roster.
Forms are also now up on /vg/, so i've decided to clean up the old form I used
https://forms.gle/C7AP9maB4TGMwnYX7
>announcing this more than a month in advance
Yeah, it's just a wee bit early, but we are still open to changes. Are you good with the time? Are you good with the format? If so, signups are right there. And if not, tell me what I can adjust.
BOOYAH Ganker!
we currently have 12 people who signed up!
>Splatoon 3 worked on by Animal Crossing Devs
>They don't include Isabelle getting into an orgy with my Inkling, Callie, and Marie.
There's so much potential just wasted here!
Some people can already see their Big Run data in the app, I can't and also didn't get the trophy.
So yeah, this is looking more and more likely to be a data loss/data corruption issue which may take awhile to fix. The game skipping the announcement outright was probably a failsafe due to trying to read corrupt data.
Nogami needs to step down
>169 is top 4%
Keep in mind if data IS actually missing that % may not even be calculated right.
I was gonna say that is super low for this easy map lmao
Yeah mine is completely missing from the app. Got 180+ so this is bullshit
How do o see this
Go the main screen of the app and tap on work
I guess it’s not available for me yet
try refreshing. Worked for me.
Still don’t see it
Not him but I've refreshed like ten times and even closed and opened the app and it's not there.
Got my gold egg in game though. Will be salty if the one time I got 999 in a Big Run didn't save though.
It's in work. Or it should be, I'm not showing anything for this Big Run.
Okay so nothing’s messed up, you just get your trophy upon rotation
My data is nowhere to be found either
I killed Joe 28 times during this Big Run, how many time anons killed him ?
>196 is top 1%
ok
they fricked up hard
I just got the bronze one and i got 136
lol no way
I just got gold
this means I was a true top 5%er then
Go frick yourself
Wait a minute, it's probably not set goals you just got but top X%.
okay
well I got the decoration
but no dialogue
I really gotta look this shit on youtube then I guess?
man what are they doing with this game
Lmao they gave me silver for 160
Yea, so it seems that if it bugged out for ypu they instead give you a reward based on your percentage like the old way instead (hence people getting silver instead of gold; because that was your percentage)
>153 score
>Silver
This is grounds for a class-action lawsuit.
>160
>You got a silver decoration! Now go frick yourself!
>They fricked and did percents ANYWAYS
>Everyone getting the wrong decoration
Lmao get fricked, I got gold
>180 is top 2%
While I got gold I'm very mad because I helped my nephew get 141 which is supposed to be gold, but now all he's going to get is silver. I'm gonna go to japan and strangle nogami myself for this bullshit
You and me brother
>143
>Was supposed to get gold
>YOU GOT A SILVER EGG
NOGAMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
I can't help but laugh I'm sorry
it's too fricking funny
I only care about boss kills, scales, and salmon chaos so I got everything I wanted
so let me guess with 135 you get the gold reward but not the gold badge?
No, with 135 you get only the silver deco and badge.
Doomposters won
181 anon here, got gold
Lazy workers who believed in set goals got fricked so hard hahaha
>162 eggs
>silver
Can this team do literally anything right.
I'm still not even seeing it on the app so I'm not going to bother turning the game on now. At this point I expect it to vent chlorine gas.
I got Gold, heh.
lmao maybe the gold badge is still a mark of honor with how many people it's fricking up for
What's 5%. Is 165 safe.
164 is silver.
166 is gold.
lol nice suicide room score
same here top 1% bb
Got in the top 2%
same
lmao at the Splatoon meltdown on internet right now. People who didn't overfish aren't happy about the robbery
I got a gold for 166
Feels good, man
>175 eggs
>still got gold
feels good to have a perfect big run record
I'm top 2% too
Just opened the game. I didn't get the Big Run news section but still got the reward. In case you think it matters, my very first attempt was gold.
So in addition to not being scored right it looks like at least few people still aren't getting anything.
What an absolute disaster.
i'm just gonna wait a few days
i want my fricking golden egg
i already had the badge
Total Fisher Death
gold egg only for morons who got past 135 and stopped and autists who grinded (like me)
>insert bell curve chart
You may only reply to this post if you got the real gold (Top 5% and above)
have a nice day
>t. broken bronzoid
heh
Hi
based reef lux chad
yes
>171
>Top 4%
>got the real gold before nogami kowtows to the shitters with the predetermined reward numbers
Feels goodman.
Had a match with some hyper skiled freelancers at 999 EVP during the big run
>80 eggs in wave 1(mothership)
>65 eggs in wave 2-normal tide
and then the game disconnects me in wave 3
I could've gotten 200 eggs with those guys easy
>fill a complaint form, in your free time, get back to work
oh nonono
so how many timmies are going to ragequit big run after being lied to about gold benchmarks?
For all the people who got the bug, did you import save data from Splatoon 2? I wonder if that does anything.
3 was my first game.
same here
For all the people who got the bug, did you eat breakfast today? I wonder if that does anything.
I did.
I imported but seeing as others didn't and still got it that's not the cause of the issue
I didn't eat breakfast I think this anon's on to something
Big Run gold badge is safe for now. I can't help but laugh, this is miserable.
I'm putting the gold BR badge back on!
>167
>Still got top 5%
Nice
>164 eggs
>165 eggs
Good. My shitter streak of barely meeting the quota has been met three Big Runs in a row.
Damn, I wouldn't have even gotten bronze with my first high score. Still being 3 off from gold stings.
>Implemented a change meant to make Big Run easier
>The 5% is the highest its ever been
LMAOOOO
it just keeps going up...
I think the level had a lot to do with it this time
The casual playerbase keeps declining
Top 5 means top 5
you don't deserve gold unless you stood above the shitters
Frick you and you poopsocking overfishing homosexuals overinflating the fricking score ranges
I got 166+ like 5 times over and I barely played
you just aren't good enough for gold
>they fricked up
>there's a possibilty EVERYONE gets the gold decoration/badge as compensation
I'd be fine with that if they let me keep the silver as well. Then I can commission Grizz popping out of a river and asking which egg was mine.
https://twitter.com/nintendo_cs/status/1731501360334708975
Some dev is sweating bullets right now
hopefully they abandon this preset score nonsense and go back to how big runs used to be calculated
Given it’s how things were calculated still I say why not
>Open game
>First game on Friday was just over gold threshold
>Get silver
Did they like literally push this idea the last day of Chill Season dev. Like this is clearly not been tested at all.
"Hehe. There was no reward system change. It was a test to observe who were the true workers and who slacked off on the job once they thought they hit "gold". I shall award the true employees of Grizzco"
The last Splatfest results were hilarious but this is on another level
I'm liking the new clear cut hierarchy, I'm feeling quite smug being on top but nah don't worry guys, I'm sure it'll all be back to normal soon
I don't know how they'll fix this mess but it's so funny to see SR gods teaching a hard lesson to interns. Silver is 9 eggs above the set gold goal lol
So what percentage is 152, I don't have a shartphone to check
that would be silver
I will never get gold the legit way
Good.
>got gold in the challenge
>got gold in the big run
>got my third gold boss badge
today was a good day
>got gold in the challenge
one day I achieve this
I hope
Out of curiosity, how much was top 5% for this turf challenge ?
I don't know the exact threshold
I got 2080 and the game said I was ranked 64th out of all participants
>even when it reverts back to the old scoring, i still get gold
streak unbroken
Wait so it actually reverted back? Holy shit
Where your gold eggstra stickers at
not him but I refuse to show mine because I got silver in the first one
i did like 2 attempts at the first one, didn't like it, then never played any other
What's that? You played through some turf war and made yourself keep playing despite losing 3 outta 4 times and losing any self-confidence?
Cool, your catalog went up, HAVE SOME FRICKING CARDS
>king name shows up on the shifts in the app now
cool, I mean I knew it was in the patch notes but it's still cool it actually see it
>get gold
>ummm ackshually it's silver now
explain this
it was a trick to merely test your loyalty to grizzco
you failed
Ah so it's Nintendo shills coping for their frick up
it's called a joke moron
I'm not happy I missed the dialogue and sucks that they fricked over players, there happy?
>i-I was only joking
they forgot to use the new scoring system, so the rewards were given based on the old system
see
GG's to my 180 team
>first the hilarious splatfest upset
>now this
calm down you guys
good
hopefully the patch fixes the constant comm error shit too
Fixing an issue that shouldn’t be an issue in the first place shouldn’t be lauded, so i’m still pissed about it
But hey, It’s okay when Nintendo does it, right?
and who's lauding it exactly?
if you couldn't tell it was a joke from my original post you might be genuinely moronic
Nice damage control Nintendo
So it’s just a small “whoopsie” and NOT indicative of just how careless nintendo is?
where'd I call this a "small whoopsie" exactly? I said "they fricked over players"
Not believing anything til I see it on the nip splatoon page.
alright
how soon is soon
God I have shit luck
I love the especially ragdolish deaths in Salmon Run. I give this a 9/10, nice form.
I got up to EVP 200 during the Big Run and it's still there. Does it not reset anymore or something?
If you have 200 in this rotation, it's because you have a bronze badge for Sockeye.
Seriously, read the patch notes.
Why would I read the patch notes? That's nice though.
Even if it's fixed people who got gold with the new system are gonna have a bad taste in their mouth. They'll get their gold egg after being reminder they're actual bronze shitters lol
so gold prizes and the gold big run badges are separated now?
isn't the text on the badge updated to just say met threshold or whatever idk why they would be separate if so
Yeah they updated it
Hope that means we'll have two golden eggs instead of one. They better not take back my actual top 5% reward
I wouldn't except it but it would be some funny bragging rights to be like
>I won so hard they gave me TWO gold trophies
(me)
expect*
I WOULD except it, well accept
>many people get banned after they used their two gold eggs to make a certain shape in their locker
Two gold eggs and the zuna
Well this sucks. I absolutely would have sweated out 170 if I knew it was going to revert to percentage rewards.
They're going to give you your consolation gold, relax sis
We got a lazy worker right here
Gonna start name-dropping who didn't get 160 eggs right now.

I'm glad to be on that list but I got 181. Do a little better next time, this is disappointing.
Apparently people are complaining about splattercolor screen being too harmful for certain disabilities.
It's literal autists who get triggered by the splashing sounds.
trueeeeee specials should have zero negative effects, think of how it upsets the morons
ugh nintendo do better, make all specials worthless NOW
specials should hurt the Inkling, not the player, moron
... How?
Physical discomfort. Makes me kind of want to main splattercolor weapons now.
Apparently it hurts people with light sensitivity issues
Glad I'm still a top 5 percenter
i'm a southsider
Jealous. I only get to 130x most of the time.
>cliquegays boasting their gold streaks
problem?
frick off to discord with your troony clique
Lookin' good, you guys
They must have already sent out a hotfix.
I just logged in and got my gold trophy even though I only had 149 high score.
My streak is unbroken
What do we think of anons who start at EVP 40 every new rotation? Are we still playing with them?
I play with everyone even the profresh Black folk
It's a bit awkward. I saw an anon in the pool at evp 30 looking for a player, I wanted to help him but I was already 500+ and I didn't wanted to frick his room
I just got there give me a break.
Wait, isn’t this supposed to happen to everyone?
patch notes
read
Not anymore.
If you have one of the badges for reaching high EVP in that stage, you begin at a higher score each rotation.
3/4 salmon room up
I have an open spot if anybody wants to join send a reply
Shoot an invite
get ready
Got a connection error. Someone sniped me.
sorry
Oh no
It's moronic.
So wait, now I can not playing the shift and straight up suicide as much as possible and I'll be put back at my checkpoint on the next rotation ? It sounds crazy for scales farming
I ended big run on apprentice and went to 400 EVP after
Why do you have both specials in the last two seconds of the shift Anon.
>Had the g stringer which is better than splashdown vs grillers
>Don't know how to use splashdown
>Saving it for wave 4 big shots
bro really wants that scrapper kill
>Saving it for wave 4 big shots
You know specials don't carry over to X-tra wave right?
the gold hoard continues, really wish the sticker limit wasnt still just 20
Only good clip I have from this BR. Finally a decent reefslider use.
Actually hit his weakspot there, too. Nice
sick
I got thrown up by him a few times soon after getting revived as he was coming up
pretty wacky
That's some action movie bullshit.
>Even pop him with the blast
swag
>190
>Top 1%
I only grow stronger
B and T remind me to report that homosexual when we're done
Maybe play better and I wouldn't have thrown.
get better with the cannon I know you can do it
>fought joe only once
>was singled out the entire match and kept getting eaten
I hope for a rematch one day.
first time was pretty rough for me as well but you get used to it pretty quickly the next couple times
I still found him harder than the other two kings because it doesn't die easily. I don't want to fight him on high tide junction or smokeyard, on sockeye I fought him by the shore and it was annoying how big he actually is.
yeah he's probably the hardest since he requires more thought from your team mates
in terms of difficulty
joe>fatfrick>fug
Honestly I find him hard just because he's the largest fricking boss and I keep getting jumpscared by Steel Eels moving through him
Nice 4 silver GG's B and T
Don’t forget to report mcnuggets
I just did homosexual cost us a that shift
I will add to the blacklist. Who is throwing?
Kraken is so broken is sr. You just dash and jump and then it kills everything
yeah it's pretty great
Doesn't work on steel eels
Just aim for the butt 4head (and roll your luck)
unless there's three of the Black folk on high tide, with all their heads blocking your way in
frick eels
Eels are annoying because they can bounce you off but the invulnerability frame (outside of the allergy to water which is funny considering it's a kraken) is invaluable in sr.
Aw yeah forgot to mention, drizzlers and eels were the most troublesome bosses this big run
definitely
I told it yesterday. I died mostly from eels and a tick of rain to finish me off
Good thing the shore bosses were easier to kill this time
Yeah they were easy to reach for once
because you didnt shore camp
Flyfish were the worst if you didn't use your special to keep them at bay, they kept spamming in bundles of two
True on my last shift I was in apprentice and the first boss of every wave was a flyfish and the first wave three came out one after the other
Honestly I felt Flyfish were reasonable this time around since you can reach nearly all the spawns from mid, and there's nearby platforms to climb up for all of them.
Yea drizzlers had some pretty sneaky positions. Eels are almost always a problem especially on NT/HT since it's hard to tell who it's after until after it reaches the basket area. Flyfish and Stingers had very nice positions overall, too. Stingers would walk a mile before doing anything. Worst thing Flyfishes would do is sneak up on you when focusing on one side in HT
> Joe on high tide on smaller maps
> Eels can pass through him
We're so fricked, it's joever
thats it?
I feel like the only thing Freelancers actually care about is getting the last hit on a boss because I watched my 3 freelancers camp a Flipper Flopper and all die because they ignored the Fish Stick painting their feet so they couldn't get away from a Maw
I noticed the badge farming have gotten way worst since you can see the number you've killed. Some people are ready to make the shift fail just to kill a boss.
Yea I know that I should never expect Freelancers to kill trash but it's way too often I see them die to a horde surrounding them because they waiting for a drizzler to land so they can stand there and wait for it to shoot.
But for some reason everyone apparently has their golden Fish Stick badge because if i'm not on them the second they land the entire map is greened by them
>everyone fights over fish sticks so I don't bother
>I get some trash like tenta brella or H-3, suddenly fish sticks are invisible to the rest of the team
Those weapons are good against them.
fish stick was my 3rd gold badge, I always had a feeling they added to the lag so i tried to get them as soon as possible
Why are flyfish even a shore boss?
Because frick you.
The big frick you is in that rare chance you land a bomb on the wienerpit, it doesn't kill the flyfish.
my bombs have been bouncing of the baskets a lot lately
I had a bomb circle the basket like a fricking basketball before falling off. I was furious
To keep players on their toes and make them move. If you stay put, that's it.
>turn on game
>receive golden egg
It's just that shrimple. Kudos to all my guys I fought with to get that 180 high score. Shit was mad fun, and got a lot of gold scales over the weekend festivities. You guys kick ass
>city is full of salty posts over people only getting silver
Delicious. Though given how high the 5% threshold is getting, I do see that perhaps the change might have been slightly warranted. 135 is still a stupidly low gold score, though.
Because cod is real and he hates us.
read the thread bro
Yeah, they'll get their pity gold. Doesn't change their performance.
>Kudos to all my guys I fought with to get that 180 high score
GG's
Was that us? Long as we both got into the top 5%, it's all gravy.
>Was that us?
yes
oh shit that wasn't our 180 my bad
Yeah, I was a little confused. Shit was fun as hell, I'm glad a good time was had. I should review what videos and screencaps I took.
>check score in app
>180 eggs is top 2%
So goddamn close to the 1%. If only.
We can't all be the best
You rat bastard.
>I do see that perhaps the change might have been slightly warranted
Nah, and the plaza post prove it, they deserve their silvers
I think the problem with Shore bosses in 3 is they exist in a game with buffed lessers. Flyfish and Stingers were a pain in 2 but you could maneuver around the horde and kill the boss quickly. Now you have a mass of faster and stronger lessers between you and the shore boss so by the time you get to them another one has spawned on the opposite side of the map
>that guy is already past 800 VP
If he ever missed a 999 before, sure as frick won't anymore with the new badge change.
I reached the quota. they fumbled it
what was the big run ending splatcast supposed to say? i have to know
Deep Cut announces an official collaboration with Damp Socks
They're happy that shops are open again. Big Man wants to splurge and Shiver tells him off. Frye then says that since Shiver's the leader now she will treat them for dinner
>164
>top 6%
killing myself
The Tenta Bella is great for killing Fishsticks at ground level
so if you have it- DO SO!!!!
no
It is? Rate of fire is so low, I usually struggle to do it in a reasonable amount of time.
Don't do this just blast the pole twice, climb up, and do the Tenta trick
Takes way less time
Tenta trick?
Does it involve the shield? I've tried hitting the little buggers with the canopy, but it doesn't seem to reach. Do I need to launch it?
Stand on the edge and bring it out. They'll fly into it and die.
I'll try it next time I get the chance. I guess I just wasn't positioning myself exactly right.
Thanks for the pointers.
someone had a webm of it. It's as the anon says, stand at the edge and just hold it out
This
Aim at a sort of angle so the pellets fall onto the smallfry as they rotate. You can take out 3 or 4 per shot.
I forget you can do this. I generally don't like climbing fish sticks
You have to stand at the very edge of the stick but I usually launch the canopy by mistake
>Aim at a sort of angle so the pellets fall onto the smallfry as they rotate
Figured as much, but I'm usually swamped with the tenta so not much time to give it a shot. Should try it next opportunity I get.
man without big run happening freelancers just dont give a single frick about putting in eggs. lost on wave 2, i put in 28 eggs and my teammates got 4, 5, and 14. i miss barnacle and dime already
They're rushing non shore statics too.
91 wasn't enough for bronze? Wtf...
see
They're fixing it. You'll get the correct trophy and badge once it's done.
Any updates on whether or not were stuck with the percentage based rewards or are fixing it?
Nintendo JP says it's a bug and will be addressed soon
Thanks anon
fishstick speedrun strat
I completely forgot about this. Someone posted it like months ago and I meant to try it out, but slipped me mind.
I'd do this a lot if we had Suction Bombs instead of Splat Bombs. Seems too inconsistent to do with how chaotic things can get. Getting your bomb to not bounce out of the Flyfish basket is hard enough as is.
I hate all of you. That is all.
Love you too anon.
Why are squids doing suicide lobbies?
I'm just happy to finally play on a new stage, don't really care about overfishing. Wish salmon run had more stages.
