Still waiting on my copy to be delivered: should I go through single player to get a handle on controls and weapons or can we dive right into online?

Are the abilities tied to gear random or do they just appear as you level?

e; Kind of just getting games in with the starting gear to learn the maps nad mechanics and poo poo right now. Maybe read an effort post on gear and loadouts later.

Communication errors are dropping me from games like crazy. Is this just the case when a host quits?

I think the ink strike sucks.

You think this until someone wins a game by 1-2% with a buzzer beater at the enemy spawn.

Goon game ends with a 0.1% win. Have some good groups going in #splagoons.

I find that getting on top of the boxes in the middle and riding around on the zamboni really lets you ambush people who don't see you coming.

Otherwise just get rollers and push hard into enemy territory.

Those trucks aren't there in splat zone. I find in splat zone its best to hang out in the open area opposite the splat zone and pick off inklings heading there to defend it (in the offensive zone) and watching the mini map for inklings heading to your side of the map (in the defensive zone). Gives you some degree of knowing no one is going to pop up behind you and allows you to get some map control. If you're any good and your team is pressing forward, 1 inkling can hold the lanes pretty effectively if they're only interested in protecting territory through swimming between lanes, seekers/bombs, etc. Watch for an opportunity where the other team has 3-4 dead and you can press forward into their zone and use specials to lock them out.

Port is probably my favorite map on splat zone and least favorite on turf war.

Suction Bombs own, at least in Ranked.. Really useful in Tower Control and also for breaking the Rainmaker's shield.

I was always a fan of the rovers that you could send down a lane and just swim in their wake. I didn't get a chance to play testfire over the weekend but I hope the curling bombs are remotely as good, though I imagine they must be slower to account for the bouncing.

I don't really see how. The mechanics and expected progression of get three things to get six or eight things in dungeons with key items was subverted, but the"lore" seems undamaged.

Nah, timeline nerds are mad.I am mad.

Can we enter the test range in the new "demo"? Do we have any indication that progress/rewards from the weekend will carry over?
