I wish it was doing juuust slightly less-well enough that I could find any squid keychain capsule machines that aren't completely sold out all the time.

Speaking of, anyone know where to get these online or in Australia? Wanna hang them all over my bike.

I'm all for adult squids in battle only if their fashion sense is so far removed from fresh that none of the inklings get even close to wherever they are. Instead of Inkopolis Plaza, the hub world is an office building.

Adult squids should be what you play at night during splatfests because the kid squids are all in bed. All your clothes keep their stats but change into unfresh duds. Also you're taller but the levels stay the same size.

Tower control is making me yell myself hoarse. Nothing is harder than making your 'team' stand on and protect the platform.

I wonder if run or swim speed boosts affect [the tower's movement] at all. I doubt it, but you never roe.

I just went and tested this in recon mode on Moray Towers. I tested with none of either, then with two run speed mains and one sub (didn't have any shoes with it on main), then with three swim speed mains, then again with three swim speeds but staying submerged the whole time instead of standing. The time taken to get from the middle to the goal was the same in all cases, around 48-49 seconds. So no, sadly run speed is still useless

I don't understand how Japan is the closest region to me but still lags the hardest.

This game gets a whole lot less fresh and fun when you get killed by the slightest ink on you but pelting a dude in the nuts when you are right next to him continuously has no effect due to lag.

Tip: you blip on the minimap when actually using the Rainmaker. You can say, take the long way around without every shooting and win a match on Triggerfish.

That you can do this, and if you have a smart enough team, have it be the most effective way to win, is a big part of why I love this mode so much.

So rainmaker is capture the flag, except there's only one flag and you take it to your opponent's base instead of yours?

Rainmaker at Camp just seems completely terrible so far. The way it's laid out as mostly a straight line has just led to whichever team reaches the Rainmaker first stomping straight into the enemy goal with no meaningful resistance in every match I've played there yet. Hopefully it gets better when we all figure out how to actually play Rainmaker. It's a shame because I love Camp for every other mode.

Here's your preview of Rainmaker mode:
Teammate 2): A player that believes it's capture the Rainmaker and spends the entire map moving it closer to your spawn

Just had a match where they were beating us by one point (80 to 79) last few seconds and we manage to kill them all and a guy picks up the rainmaker, all he's gotta do is swim past the center of kelp dome and we win by overtime. Few seconds later everyone has respawned on their team and the green dot on top showing our progress is all the way to the left. That person does eventually wisen up but the other team kills him.

Figured that's a good time to call it quits for now. Really fun and hectic mode, still trying to figure out what weapon suits me for it.

Rainmaker is fun as hell. I should never get the thing, just like I should never get the thing in any capture-the-x mode in any game, because I have the life expectancy of a fruit fly in games.

Oh god what did I just post?
Why do all my teammates go the wrong way on triggerfish? Don't charge strait towards the enemy base with no cover, go around to the left, its a strait shot up the walkway to the goal.

Even if you kill the entire enemy team, they're just going to respawn and flank you as you try to climb the wall to get to the goal.

Weirdly Paintbrush is hella OP in this mode.

One okay Paintbrush dude is about as important as one good sniper.

Edit: This team is all about team work though, so it is the WORST thing when one of your team members decides it'd be best to go it alone to grind for an ineffectual inkstrike.

I cannot touch objectives. If I do I explode violently moments later. I'm good at killing dudes but I die so often I shouldn't be allowed to touch important things. My end scores are usually like 17/10 on longer ranked matches because if I see the enemy trying to push back I become suicidal in taking out as many as I can because if I can make it 3 v 2 in our favor that sounds good to me.
