Yeah. To get online, you need to receive the latest data, and it can't right now. So yay.

Anywho, just did my first mission. I say 'my first' because you can actually choose which order of missions you do, in bunches before boss fights (kinda like Sonic Generations). Plus, you are actually Agent no. 3! (Your outfit being a hand me down from 1 and 2...)

Also turns out that like, this is revenge for the Octarians getting their asses kicked in a prior war a century ago. Cap'n Cuttlefish was part of a splatoon (yes, that's a thing).

1 hour 30 minutes to squid. I'm doing this to make sure I've got the time right since I'm BST and missed one by an hour last time so feel free anyone to correct me and make sure I'm not doing that again.

That seems to be right, at least according to this time converter thing someone linked on reddit.

Such graceful, delicate creatures.
I should have brought my Wii U to work, then I could play after I punch out instead of missing the whole thing on my way home.

Ah well, just another week until the full game is out.

Powered off the console to try to rejoin a different match, looks like connecting to the servers is not going well, either.

EDIT: At least I managed to get two rounds in.

Nintendo thought it could handle the squid hype, they were clearly mistaken. Connection music is funky, though.

Well congrats nintendo the testfire did its job and found out the server load does indeed break the online mode.

Weird how the servers handled the previous testfires so well and yet now they've totally died.

Six days before release you would really hope they'd be stress testing all servers planned for live not the same number / less servers then the first 3 stress tests :smith:

e: Someone tell me they're going to extend the test. None of this is valuable data. Tell me it'll be alright :shobon:

Oh, huh, I thought it was just me; my WiiU has had trouble connecting to multiplayer stuff in the past. Apparently everyone is getting errors though. Can someone post the specific error, just in case, though? I'd like to see if what I'm getting is the same thing as everyone else or not; I was having trouble from the moment I finished the tutorial, so it may still be my router being terrible.

I am guessing either word of mouth means more people are interested, or an intern spilled coffee on the server.
