Spawning Grounds rotation with Grizzco Weapons, this is the best chance to get the golden badge. Have you gotten it yet?
Stop giving me the GrizzCo Splatana! I'm sorry, I'm just bad with it.
I either didn't charge the attack enough, get smacked by trash mobs I didn't see, or just plain MISS. I need a gun.
Just walk, really walk and attack
Not worth the shitty badge, I stopped before EVP 200
I'm working on it
I'm certainly trying
I am at EVP 865
765*
You'll bounce back
who gives a fuck, it's a pointless badge
Pretty much. The only worthwhile SR badge is the max hazard badge. Also, all bronze, silver, and gold colored badge are ugly as fuck.
Gonna purposely do terrible next Eggsta Work to get the basic locker sticker below bronze
It would probably be better to wait for a more reliable rotation. It's not super fun to get wiped and find out it was because you had three splatanas.
>3 sloshers and a splatana
Please Mr Grizz, do you want your quota or not?
>grillers wave and I have the splatana
>end up doing most of the work
I feel so powerful
The splatana is great. I remember when Boris debuted, you could hit him with melee on high tide if you stood at the top and I just stood there jumping up and down dealing massive damage to the boss
>Too tired to stay on for long last night cause of jury duty
>Check the thread in the morning
>Everyone had loads of fun
>Missed out on all of it
>Can’t even play tonight cause of work
>Everyone will have more fun without me
It’s not even about escaping freelance hell, I just wanna play and have fun with you guys
>Too tired to stay on for long last night cause of jury duty
Was he guilty?
They didn’t even have me assigned to a case. Thank god since that would entail having to stay for more days, but also made the whole thing a waste of time
I got to 240 but I've been busy all day. I have half a mind to push for 600 before Mass tomorrow morning and half a mind to relax and watch On Patrol Live tonight.
I can't get passed 950. I wish I had my team back from before the map rotation
Finally got my badge after a cumulative of 8.5 hours, got super lucky by not getting a single glowflies wave after 600 suprisingly
Probably the most amount of bosses I killed, had a total of 15 Big Shots spawned and those really helped with the kills
imagine joining the pool but playing SOLO
just leave and stop flooding the notifications tab with your solo playing ass
I did it
Just got it. I surprisingly went from 650 to 999 freelance without a single loss. Based HLM randos. I finally have all the gold badges. Until next season of course
Yup, got it last night with a bunch of you lot here. Well, I say night but it lasted well into morning. Shit was major fun. If anyone wants help climbing the ranks, I may be down to help. Damn it, now I wanna do the next big run already. I don't want to wait 3 weeks.
Geez, all the way from 650? Even up there, I'd had my fair share of trouble with randos. Nice work getting that.
Stuck at work, but glad to see you got another 999 under your belt
Many thanks, anon.
Fair point. Every room I saw just now filled up pretty quick. Guess I can freelance for my daily win.
How the fuck did you fags get 999? Shits hard.
Persistence, knowledge, and skill. Or just get friends to stay at low EVP while you climb like a bitch
>Player leaves after the 30 second mark
>Forced to play out an unwinnable disaster match against turboautists that doesn't count for anything
Why doesn't it just turn the game off
Oh yeah, and I managed to finally get this last Saturday. If we played together yesterday you probably already noticed it. Now I can see up all that delicious money for sizzle season's new gear! Damn, I'm not even done getting all of this season's gear. Just bought a new shirt yesterday.
Did you know there was a badge for hitting the jackpot 4 times? Because I was not aware. Makes sense, now that I think about it. So far all 3 golden banners, but only got the titles from last season. Super rare or whatever.
Nice
Oh wow, forget yesterday. Got a new shirt in today's store rotation.
they must've added way more gear compared to chill season because i'm still finding unpurchased stuff, and the season ends in just 11 days.
Must be that, or some combination of it and just luck. Cleaned out chill season relatively quickly but sizzle gear just seems to keep popping up every few days. Makes you wonder just how much sizzle season is gonna bring.
maybe it's more gear-focused to make up for the lack of kits in this season
9 kits is ridiculous
It's hard to "make up" for a lack of actual content, even if gear does count. Isn't next season going to have even less? Brand new weapons are pretty cool, at least. Wasn't expecting them to whip out a super scope blaster.
Gear has specific rarities?
>Gear has specific rarities?
Probably, there is some gear that appears less frequently. I check the store everyday, and I have 95% of all clothes I think.
First time in 90 days I've seen the pink Lacoste polo on the store. Must be a rare piece of clothing for this season
Shit, meant to say drizzle.
No wait, I meant fresh. God, these season names are not embedded in my head enough. Fresh, sizzle, drizzle, chill. There it is.
Why is grizz slosher so shit?
A retard blames his weapon
I wouldn't call it shit, it has amazing uses and can be great. But damn if it isn't clunky as shit and leaves you more vulnerable than a roofied whore.
Why is every lobby I get thrown into full of unbeatable autistic Japanese freaks
Because it's japanese CoD.
>get the bow 5 waves in a row
>finally get something else
>its the charger
>its a mudmouth wave
Gonna eat A be right back
>Dualies give you an extra defensive maneuver
>They kill you in .04 seconds from any distance just like every other weapon in this retarded game so there's no disadvantage to using them
What did they mean by this
Any Salmon rooms open before I make one?
Probably at least one, judging from one post earlier. You looking to climb to 999?
Nope, just want to play with Ganker just because.
>die on wave 2 high tide
And then they all left me. Oh well.
>Flyfish: The game
It's like they know people mostly have splatanas and sloshers so they just throw a bunch of flyfish at you at high danger levels
Maws: The Game
>pop kraken
>enemy team scatters
>fruitlessly chase one of them
>my 5 seconds are almost up, time to retreat
How do you use this effectively? Not looking forward to the heavy splatling deco having it.
If you have the splatana on a grillers wave kill the fucking smallfries
Splatana can one-shot the griller, anon. If there's a blaster or brella, they're better suited for clean up.
NO
monke brain activates
>even at 999, I've found teammates with almost zero ability to prioritize and barely any awareness of their surroundings
I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't just witness it. We almost failed a goddamn cannon wave. Those are some of the easiest damn ones. We did eventually win, but christ. Everyone popping their supers in the last 10 seconds despite needed them for the entirety of wave 3.
For shit's sake, you assholes, you can't just rely on me being the only cannon. One of you has to get on another cannon, I can't reach far out enough and none of you are killing bosses.
namedrop then
>that one poor bastard hovering in the 860-880 range
Just join one of the rooms, dude. People here will gladly help you out. Unless he's some weirdo that got the name from elsewhere and isn't even in the threads.
I've only played with randos so far tonight.

>carpal tunnel slowly reducing the amount of time I can play Splatoon daily
Carpal tunnel exists? I figured it was something they made up to stop people from playing video games or being on the computer all day.
Unfortunately, yes. Take breaks when you feel any kind of discomfort in your hands or fingers, kids. Or don't be born with shitty hands.
That sucks, man, I'm sorry it happened to you. Known so many, many different people that just play vidya and never actually met someone who had it.
>just hit EVP200
I don't know how you grind all the way up to 999, but my hats off the you. I'm taking my basic bitch badge and going to bed.
It takes a lot of dedication and time. Though honestly if you're playing with a decent group, getting to 200 shouldn't take more than 2 hours. Good night, anon.
Good morning my fellow splagoons how is it going?
I'm never going from 40 to 999 freelancer ever again.
Holy shit, that one guy is STILL around the high 800 VP numbers. How long's he been doing this?
The fact you did it even once astounds me. Nice work.
>check in on pool
>lots of different people start rooms then all go to solo anyway
You guys avoiding each other or something?
maybe they missed each others rooms
They never join my room
/vg/ pool is better
There's my second 999 badge, thanks everyone!
And there goes that 999, thanks glowflies!
Congrats, anon! Wish I could've helped, but what can you do. You all got that trigger finger. Now we're both at 2/4, soon to be 2/5.
Eh, why the hell not.
>I'm still 1/4
You guys left me behind
Fucking a, sorry about wave 1. Someone came calling and I had to button mash to not DQ.
Really? I guess I joined the wrong room. Wanna join ours?
Already in one
Fair enough. Guess I'll just chill.
Opening a SR room in 3 minutes
all ranks welcome
Does the US rooms not really paint walls? I'm mostly playing in the JP servers but it's rare to even see people not try to paint walls there.
I paint walls like my life depends on it, because it often does.
I obsessively paint walls even when the wave already starts. Might as well paint while bosses are being lured in, especially as a shorter range weapon
Or not, he just kept going.
>triple communication error
What the fuck?
Got my badge but I'm still up for games if there's an open slot. I can demote to be closer to the host
Anon, I'm going down the list and I don't see any rooms made in the last 10 minutes besides the one I went into.
room reopened
Full?
All I want is to get bronze. I'm so fucking close.
the badge isn't worth it. Salmon run EVP Freelancing is a literal sisyphean task. It took me two golden rotations, two big runs, and literal hundreds of retards throwing themselves to the fish to realize that you can't win with a bad team. "Another set of hands" isn't any form of true in SR since they can actively make your life harder if they're retarded enough. Hogging eggs, shorecamping, not playing thier weapons properly, taking unnecessary risks, just to name a few. I can give you a million anecdotes of teammates actively making things worse, but they all come down to 'we would have been better off if he disconnected on the chopper' because at least then we wouldn't have taken such a big hit to the rank
Nowadays, i just get my 1200 and dip. the less i can interact with salmon runners, the better. this goes for all of you too, by the way, don't act like you're above stupid mistakes because you have a shiny gold badge you were carried to.
I had my issues with that game, but that was a pretty damn clean fug.
>Have you gotten it yet?
No.
Too late? probably all the shitter are there now?
Yeah, wouldn't risk a derank for the second time, I got all capsules, even got Boris kill much sooner than expected, so I'm done. I'm shit at SR, even shittier at Grizzco weapons, I only have one single 200 badge, so whatever.
Oh wow, that guy doing the 999 climb finally got to 955. Then he dropped to 925.
How in the fuck.
I guess so? But I was playing flawlessly last night and the few games I was playing earlier with randos
I guess my connection specifically dislikes you then
Al I can assume, because no issues since your games. Hell, I think I tried joining you last night and ran into a similar problem? If not, it was somebody else. But only those specific games. I believe everyone's connections stuttered and the frame rate dropped obscenely.
Play in the pool, dawg.
>How in the fuck.
Being shit, and other freelancers being shit too.
>triple communication error
Fuck this, I quit.
if you mean you got booted to plaza then it's probably an issue on your end
GGs anyway
I got one 999 near launch and I have no desire to ever do it again, fuck that grind.
Fuck it I'm done! I've been stuck in the 500 to 600 range. That's probably my limit. At least I got the silver badge.
Randos got you down?
No I've been playing for more than 12 hours and I should be doing something else. Not to mention I'm exhausted.
I stopped playing after I completed my catalog
I bet I'm to late to join now.
Fuck! I need two more wins to get bronze. Help me get it.
I...i did it.
I pushed myself to the point where I feel sick but I did it.
Thank you to this last team of freelancers. I will NEVER do this again even if another gold rotation appears
Congrats
Good job. One grind to 999 takes a lot out of me. It's crazy that people go for it regularly.
Congrats anon!
>that group that went up 10 minutes ago
Oh, it's YOU three. Was wondering why I hadn't seen you in hours. Figures you were your own group.
Congrats, anon. It's a slog, to be sure, which is why I didn't have a lot of time for it when the game first came out. Helps to have actual people to play with. Freelancers are hell.
>that one guy with not a single boss kill
See?
We have a spot open if you want to join us.
Eh, why the hell not. I could go for another fug or two. I was trying to help out other people, but between being busy and disconnects it wasn't going too hot.
Alright we are in the lobby see if you can join.
Congrats. Wish I had the skill, time and dedication to do that
Yes I got bronze. Thanks A and R.
Oh, I didn't realize it was you that needed the bronze SG badge. Nice job. Gonna go for silver?
No. Never really cared for the gold map badges. The only SR badges I wanted to get were the max hazard and top 5% big run badge, which I both have.
Fair enough. But wait, if you manage to get HLM then shouldn't you have gotten at least one gold by default?
Holy shit, it actually worked.
I got it on sockeye the rotation before the second big run.
Ah, now that's more like it. A game where everyone knows what the fuck they're doing.
Oh, cool. Too much grind for you to do repeatedly, eh?
>Too much grind for you to do repeatedly, eh?
Yes.
Every time. Every FUCKING time I want to help a bad situation, the only thing I have is reefslider.
Nice triple stinger kill.
>lure maws, feint him and throw a bomb
>swim forward into it anyway
I don't know why I did that. Reflex, I guess. But holy fuck, am I glad I saved that second inkstrike.
Right?
I can understand, it's a huge undertaking and I personally never thought I could do it.
Fuck I was out of ink sorry guys
Holy hell. Bosses literally everywhere. Doesn't help 2 of us had sloshers. Least it gave us 2 silvers.
Just woke up, sitting at 750 EVP still. Any room slots open? I'm not sure if I'm good enough for 999 but I'd at least like to reach/beat HLM once.
Fuck, these games are becoming merciless.
God damn it. I knew we were fucked as soon as I saw that first flyfish go up.
Damn slamming lid was blocking you
>only 7 eggs killed
What. What the actual hell is wrong with me. What the hell was I doing?
Well at least that one went better. But I'm still ashamed of my performance. And damn, I didn't even notice we had reached hazard level max.
Fuck we almost got 70 eggs. We need to team up foe big run.
WOW, I didn't think we were gonna make it there. Some fine fucking work.
That's what I'm saying, man. Could you imagine the high scores we could get? Probably make that one twitter gay seethe uncontrollably.
We should and I still haven't been in one.
>find a solid freelance team
>disconnect after the first game
>queue again
>immediate connection error at the start of wave 1, 20 points docked from your social credit score
I love this game but goddamn, I hate it right now.
Since I'm close help me get silver
I need about 5 wins
Ha, and you said you didn't want to go for it. How the turns tide.
Playing with you guys is too much fun. How the fuck did that happen? I thought we had all the eggs
>stingers on literally all 3 prongs on low tide
>flyfish
>fish sticks
>big shots
Oh my god.
Evidently we did not.
High tide fug kill, yeah! Holy shit, the amount of eggs we got there was beyond obscene. I love that I've gotten okay-ish enough with the slosher to just two-shot lids now.
Three more wins for silver
God damn it, I knew the weapons we were dealt were gonna screw us on geysers.
I have no idea how you fuckers made it to 999. Inbetween the disconnects and almost every high tide wave being a guaranteed loss, I'm running out of motivation.
Nooooooo. I'm so fucking close.
I just realized you can kill it without going all the way up
Well shit, we lost one of our best men. Oh well.
You guys didn't know this?
I'm with you till it's done.
OH COME ON. Fuck, the game keeps screwing us with like the last 4 loadouts.
Fuck they don't want me getting that silver
I feel like I'm getting a lot better with bomb throws
>high EVP room
>filled up within a second
That's a shame. Any leftovers? I just want to beat HLM once.
>missed every single inkjet shot on about 15 bosses
Be right back, gonna go drown myself. At least it was a decent fug kill for high tide.
Man. I'm shit at reviving teammates.
Well frankly, I'm surprised we last as long as we did with only 3 people. Shit.
We're back in the lobby if anyone wants to join in.
I never thought I'd see myself at EVP 994, but here we are.
Maybe remake the room?
Fucking steel eel kept blocking you
Still need three more wins for silver.
I really thought we'd have done it by now. The game's being a real fucking asshole.
Is there a slot open?
Was, we're back to a 4-man group.
Good to know I didn't snipe anyone
>deal with about 4 bosses
>come back to basket
>in the 10 seconds since I left, 5 more spawned
This is how you create serial killers.
One more
Outta work but it’s almost half past 3 and i’m barley awake. Barley get the chance to play with you guys but I send my best regards
>finally gain a win with a new freelance team
>entire team leaves anyway
I'm done. This is absolutely soulcrushing.
STOP FUCKING GIVING ME SPLATANA. I'm so fucking sick of this thing, goddamn.
I wish I had it more. So close.
>get charger
>immediately start wrecking bosses left and right
Thank you game, that's much better.
You can have all my future ones, it's driving me nuts. I at least like it on high tide since everything is within swinging distance.
How can you hate the grizz stamper? It's so fucking good.
Ugh. The last 3 or 4 horrors I've fought have all been high tide and it's exhausting. I'm done, guys. Thanks for the games.
>9 revives
Holy shit, I didn't even have the wave breaker.
I don't care how much damage it does, it's so fucking slow. At least the slosher can a whole hoard if angled properly.
GGs guys, those were some really intense games. Thanks to everyone who joined in.
Just one last fug, that's all I want.
4 stingers on firefly. Holyshit that was scary but we made it.
Ok it's late I'm done. It's 4am and I need sleep. Thanks BJ, A, R, FP and others for helping me get bronze and silver.
t. G!
I even finished my second catalog during our SR shifts. You guys are the best and we have to team up for big run.
>check my titles
>don't have salmon runner
I had sort of figured that you would get specific titles from reaching HLM and 999. Guess not. I could call myself Salmon Run Salmon, though.
Shit was great. We gotta do more of this whenever big run and eggstra work come around. I want to get lucky with an absurdly high egg count and slap it in the face of all the people who whine about "overfishers". Sounds like it'd be fun. Anyways, one last shout out to my homies that get me to 999 on this map. See you whenever. Octo daughter best daughter.
Not a fan of eggstra work but I'll help you get gold.
Wait the gold is 999? I thought it was 800...
It's 999 anon
rooms!
finally got the badge where you dont use special in 100 shifts
so no rooms?
Not even gonna bother with the Salmon Run badges, since most of them are retardedly grindy.
I just want my last boris fight! Is that too hard to ask!
And finally I'm free!
