My crewmates are always drooling imbeciles who don't loving come when I spam THIS WAY. I downgraded from Profreshional back to Overachiever because of like 5 straight matches with idiots who acted like they somehow never played a Goldie or Mothership round and couldn't be bothered to go around to scoop up the pile of eggs I Stingray'd out of the Goldie, or to shoot the goddamn chinooks. Just left the eggs sitting there. What is it with people that play objective modes yet have no interest in accomplishing the objective? Rainmaker seems the worst about this.

Inescapable Duck posted:I don't think these kind of games usually have characters get actively angry even at your miserable failure. Probably because they don't need to encourage the players to take it out on each other, the Switch, nearby pets and loved ones, etc. Iirc didnt they have to tone down mr resetti in animal crossing because having the character yelling at them freaked out little children playing the game? Same deal here I imagine.

They had a notice in the manual for New Leaf that Resetti might be quite upsetting to the little ones.

The Mothership this last round was particularly bad to play though cause the weapons were pretty much the worse ones to have for it.

I liked the e liter 3k for the mothership waves. It's range meant you could hit a ton more carriers than usual and you don't need a full charge to kill them. That's the only good thing I have to say about that set though

Perhaps it's been a while since I got a Charger on a Griller stage, but I liked how one shot from the E-Liter was ebough damage to stop one. The extra damage is nice.

No boss salmoids spawn during them so there can just be a lot of wasted time between finding goldie/ getting the little flying jerks to drop a crate close to you so you can splat them for an egg.

No boss salmoids spawn during them so there can just be a lot of wasted time between finding goldie/ getting the little flying jerks to drop a crate close to you so you can splat them for an egg. With this past loadout you specifically need your brush/roller to run around collecting eggs and doing crowd control while your N-Zap and E-Liter pop chinooks and the mother ship itself. Shooting the mother ship with the stringray on its way in leaves a trail of eggs - if its wave 1 or 2 you probably want to do this once to get the boost or both times if you want a 30+ egg round. Goldies, people are slowly starting to figure out. The problem is when people go and hit every geyser you end up with a pretty sizeable crowd that your roller/brush are going to have trouble managing without help - help that distracts from actually getting eggs.

Even then, it's still a crapshoot as to how long it takes to find the drat Goldie, because you're poking around three Gushers apiece. On top of dealing with Salmonids from the failures, you also need to hope like hell it's somewhere relatively close to the Basket and that the rest of your crew isn't spread out to the far corners of the map. It's a death of a thousand little failures in basic game design that just will not work unless multiple acts of random chance fall in your favour.

Yes, Goldie is a poo poo design even in the best case. There have been a few freak rounds of 30+ eggs where its high tide and we find it first hit 3-4 times in a row.

High Tide also drastically increases your odds of finding the loving thing in a reasonable amount of time between four people. Assuming they actually disperse properly to check them all.

A Tale of Rock Bottom: I considered making a new account for this to remain anonymous, but I want other Inklings to know the real risks of this "game" we play. You can't hide from the Stingray. It will find you and there will be a reckoning like you never eelieved possible. So I'm a pretty regular poker player, solid winner long-term, but came home lateish last night after a medium-sized loss of $500. A bit of bad luck, a bit of bad play, so goes poker sometimes but it hurts worse right after, of course. I get home and think "Hey I'll play some Splatoon 2, that'll take my mind off of poker. Oh hell yes, Rainmaker is the Ranked Battle for the next hour!" I win my first few games and get my ranking meter filled almost completely to the end, definitely one win away from moving from A to A+ with only one crack. "Ok let's finish this!" laughed Deltron 3030. Lose a couple battles. *crack* "Heh... Just gotta win one I still got this!" *crack* "Ok... Put on your freshest gear and loving finish this," rasped Deltron 3030. ... *SHATTER* "Oh God... What have I done? Wait, Salmon Run is still open. I'm at 0/99 as a Profreshional. I'll probably just loving blow it, I'm terrible with this weapon rotation and it's what I deserve." *second wave Wiped, demoted to Over-achiever* The rest of the night is pretty hazy, but I woke up to a scene of mayhem with Long John Silver's calamari boxes everywhere, trails of cocktail sauce running to and from the bathroom, ink-soaked paint brushes littering the floor like a carpet of syringes. Judd, give me the strength to recharge my ink and Booyah to those I have Ouched against in these decadent times. Help me to see the light at the end of the tower. Deltron 3030 fucked around with this message at 18:05 on Aug 15, 2017 |

If you're at Marooner's Bay, get on one of the elevators. Grillers cannot go on them, so the only thing you would have to worry about are the Small Fry.

Meeting quota is always the problem. Like if you get a griller round and need 15 eggs that requires killing 5 grillers, and after the second they start showing up in pairs. As soon as two are on the map it all falls apart. We struggle to survive and never kill the grillers fast enough to meet the quota. Its so easy for someone to die because they aren't watching the movements of the tagged player and get killed by the griller suddenly turning around. Then you get stuck in a desperate situation where you need to find a way to revive the other players which wastes a ton of time. Its just so much harder than everything else.

If you end up with the something short-range you should be focusing on the chum and only attacking the grillers if there's only one still or you're at a high altitude. Chasing immediately behind it is too risky, I see too many pubs doing exactly that and getting eaten quickly.

Also there are spots on both maps that let you kite a griller endlessly if you took the time ahead to paint the verticals. You can literally kill your own griller with careful kiting.
