I was on again last night for a half hour or so.

Doesn't seem to be a lot of activity from boardsies.

Maybe I'm on a different times to others or the interest died down pretty fast.

Might get on again later if anyone's about.

are you still on it as Eoin? If so I went to join your game and then went into a random game as I didn't want to wait the few minutes and the random games are so quick to get into. It's a good system to get you playing fast.
Anyway I was only on for a few games before bed.

The interest does seem to die down here fast for most games I've noticed. I guess people just don't have the time. Most are family men I think.

iggyigauna89

Spot on with the family men comment! I'll try get on tonight for a bit. My amiibos finally came today so I'll have to show off the stuff they unlocked!

The_B_Man

I was on last night (Well, she was. I was out) but most of my game time comes at the weekends, so for me, school nights are never gonna be a hive of activity.

Yeah family man here too. It's tough getting time alright.

I'm still on as Eoin but will be changing that tonight if I'm on to murphyebass. Meant to do it yesterday.

I'm on at the moment.

Sooo close to level 10.

Nintendo really have a special IP on their hands with this one.

I'm even beginning to get the motion controls.

Slowly but I'm getting there.

I got to level 20 and that seems to be the max, I wonder will they remove the cap.

I'll be giving it a bit more time this weekend but I'd say it'll take me a while to hit level 20.

Must finish the one player mode as well. I've only done the first boss so far.

Hit level 10 last night though. Tried one game of ranked. Didn't really get it. Seemed like capture the flag kinda mode?

Will have a look again later

I never got the hang of ordering clothes of ur man down the alley. Was out the other night and the missus spent the evening playing it. She told me she levelled up to level 10. Apparently the clothes quadruple in price after level 10.
Am I missing anything major here?

Ranked is like King of the Hill - at the start of the match, identify the box you need to ink. Get to the zone, ink it and take up defensive positions appropriate to your weapon and loadout.

I'm still a C-, and C- battles are chaotic - inevitably one of your team mates will run around inking the whole map and thinking he's amazing. Any ink spilled outside the zone is pointless unless it creates a path to the Zone for you to swim, or it kills an opponent.

You're best off to Recon the map if you're not familiar so you know where the high ground is and how to get onto it (and how to get off it fast or approach it from a blind spot) , where the choke points for each team are, that kind of thing, and think about how your roller/sniper/splatter gun is going to fit into things.

When you go back to 1-player after playing a bunch of multiplayer, I don't know about others but I've found I look a lot more stylish and ninjalike when taking down octolings

CastorTroy

Inking outside the spaltzone is mainly done to build up your special.

May have mentioned it here but saw one team I fought against set beacons up behind the splatzone on Saltspray rig. So we would be watching for them coming from the front but they attacked from behind. I saw this quickly enough and went to detroy them. Good idea though

Prices double at level 10.

I was level 9 last week and had ordered some 3* gear for 15,000 from the guy in the alley. I had about 13,000 in cash, so it was a gamble to see if I'd reach level 10 before getting the 15,000 I needed.

Got to 15,000 and level 10 on the same match, so the gear price jumped to 30,000.

F*k it in anyway!!

Any recommendations of other clothes to buy then?

I've gotten the "3 Amiibos" so i'll be using them tonight. AFAIK they unlock some clothes. At least thats something.
Actually, if im being honest, I don't understand the slots and stuff on clothes. May start googling it.

You have to complete 3 story missions (and beat a boss) under specific conditions to unlock the amiibo gear.

Basically each item of clothing grants a bonus (or three) with the higher tier items offering more bonuses.

If you press the info tab in the menu I think you can bring up all the different bonuses.

Not being able to play with gamepad screen is really restricting the amount of time I can play, so I'm usually online when other boardies arn't. Really hope it's patched in, but I suspect that it's not high on the agenda.

Reached 10 and tried a few ranked matches. Really enjoying the change in game style. And a good opportunity to try out the other weapons. In the regular matches I pretty much stuck to the roller, but the ranged guns are way more useful in the ranked capture and hold style games.

The drip feed of content is a great way to keep people checking back into the game, I'm guessing that we'll eventually see MP versions of most single player maps. Wouldn't mind seeing something done with some of the more vertical, precarious, "careful where you squid" type maps. And maybe more use being made of the gadgets (sponges, teleporter pipe thingies, turrets etc).

Was playing today and being the winner on the losing team reminded me of this scene for some reason.

I see some familiar names splatting me tonight !
Thanks for a fun evening of many humiliating losses.

BTW, clothes don't increase in price after level 10, bought a 3 star T-shirt for 15k at level 11, cost the same as my boots at level 8 or 9, both had no secondaries revealed.

the increase in clothes prices is off the shady dealer in the corner as far as I know. Anyway there's not much of a difference I've been coming out on top with level 20 players and I just stick to what I know and it's all level 2 stuff.

safetyboy

New level tomorrow
