In better news, NoE figured out what people want. The Squid Amiibo is getting a standalone release on November 20.

Edit: if you see an Octoling stay in the lobby until that player leaves, then keep playing. What causes the soft-lock is the game trying to load the Octoling in the Inkopolis Plaza.

It's poo poo like this that makes me sad. And when you get Nintendo on the other side, you really don't know what to expect will happen. If anything will even happen.

Don't lose hope! They patched the Maka Wuhu exploit in Mario Kart 7 (it let you skip a huge section of the one-lap track, making it nearly unplayable over WiFi unless you also used the glitch).

Nintendo has patched exploits like Judd giving a refund for Spyke, or the sequence breaking in Arowana Mall. Also there's precedent for them fixing save corruption bugs and recovering broken saves in Pokemon X/Y. I'm sure they'll fix it, but what I'm not sure of is if they know about it and how long it will be. Nintendo doesn't really have a way to report these things as far as I know.

Edit: Is there a way to make backups of my save just in case this or something else happens?

You might be able to copy it to a usb, the initial bug post mentions it corrupted their USB save.

Edit: Here's a guide that shows how, you'll have to format the USB first. Oh and there's not an option to copy the save data only, it seems to copy EVERYTHING in the splatoon section so it's like 2 gigs.

I wasn't going to play tonight anyway. My internet is pretty well occupied downloading another game and even if it wasn't, this late at night means I'd be playing against the Japanese and lag alone makes that really annoying. That said, I can't imagine the chances of running into that guy are astronomically high given how many people play this game and it's probably some dumb kid who figured out how to get it in the game and doesn't know any better, so hopefully they'll just stop, but I still hope Nintendo fixes it pretty soon.

By releasing everything early. :getin:

Give me the seeker rush roller and the seeker/echo tri-slosher and I'll be happy. At least until they release playable Octolings. Hurry up Nintendo!

This is a really open-ended question but... Any tips for getting better with other weapons? Luna Blaster has gotten me to A Rank, but I've kinda capped out here. I feel like I can probably get up to A+ with time, but the Luna Blaster is the ONLY weapon I can have any success with in ranked. I can sometimes do well with the Sploosh-O-Matic or the Octobrush, depending on the map, but the Luna Blaster is my only real fallback. Using only it is getting really boring, as I really like having variety, but anytime I try any other weapon I just lose 40 ranked points and get frustrated and can't even win with the Luna Blaster at that point.

I can win just fine in unranked with whatever, but the lack of game mode variety there bores me in a different fashion. I'm kinda getting to the point where I don't really wanna play, since it seems I either use just the Luna Blaster or I lose.

I guess all those joke posts about casual cannibalism being a thing in the Splatoon world were actually correct.

Many species of squids will opportunistically eat members of their own species (some species attack and eat younger squids, others will eat each other if desperate e.g. are trapped in a net together) and many cephalopods will eat smaller members of other species.

Does anybody here read/speak Japanese? I was being a gigantic goofball on Warehouse using an Inkbrush a couple of days ago along with an Octobrush and another squid, they added me to friends but I was sort of wondering what their messages said haha.




EDIT: ^^^Oh sweet, one of my favourite things to do when I'm being lazy is to get the Aerospray or .52 Gal, stay in one spot on one of the flatter maps and just chuck Seekers at everyone. Gonna have good times.

First: "That was a lot of fun! Thanks for slapping our teammate around with me after we got splatted at the end there. If it's okay with you, let's be friends." (This guy is really polite.)

Second: "I'm the one who was using the Octobrush, lol! You're a fun guy, lolll. Let's be friends!!"

^^^edit: better translation


My Japanese is garbage but here's a rough translation:
"It was really fun, thanks a lot for sticking around or something with the two other people.
If it's okay, please friend."

"Person using the inkbrush, it's really good, huh?
If it's okay, friend!!"

Smiles
Oct 23, 2012

Haha thanks Ghost, giffan. I think the scenario the first guy mentioned, he was on the enemy team and having a squid party with me and the Octobrush, a teammate came and splatted him, then the Octobrush and I spent the rest of the match slapping that teammate around for being so rude. Being a doof once in a while just makes me love this game.

Ahh okay, his phrasing actually makes more sense knowing that it was your teammate but not his that you were slapping! That's definitely what he's talking about. I'd assumed y'all were all on the same team which made his particular use of honorifics a little weird, didn't occur to me he was an enemy combatant.
