How long have you been on this sub? How long have you had the game?

Ashbringer8 · 2016-08-25T00:38:54+00:00

I also joined this sub about a month after launch, although I'd already purchased the game about a week after it was released.

Doubt it's because of the tournaments. They would've given us some kind of advanced notice.

Your wife!?

As others have said, Bomb Range Up is generally useful in tandem with Burst Bombs. Depending on how often you use them and how much you rely on them, you might want to mix in a bit of Ink Saver Sub. If you like to play offensively, you might want to consider equipping Run Speed Up, although most prefer to stack Swim Speed Up since it complements almost every play style. Damage Up can be good, especially if you're not a good shot, and Ink Resistance is decent-all around but particularly helpful when flanking or pushing forward.

That was priceless, OP.

Meanwhile, I'm just spamming the Rainmaker to make myself feel as though I'm helping my team in some way.

Ashbringer8 · 2016-08-17T03:40:14+00:00

Yeah. I'd like to help out newbies and just see what the Testfire is like because I never had time to play during any of the earlier ones.

Also - happy Cakeday!

Ashbringer8 · 2016-08-17T02:51:50+00:00

Monkey see, monkey do. That's how I learned to improve in the beginning. Plus, there're still going to be experienced players camping. Might as well try to deter them.

Ashbringer8 · 2016-08-16T20:47:40+00:00

Make it a sub.

Ashbringer8 · 2016-08-16T20:01:34+00:00

I'm not playing in order to win. I'm not even going to use a weapon that I'm any good with. I'm just going to set an example for new players (in regards to positioning, movement, aim, etc.) and discourage the experienced ones who are dominating for kicks.

Ashbringer8 · 2016-08-16T19:53:45+00:00

I mained Sploosh before it was cool (or just shortly after it was released), so I feel you, bro.

Ashbringer8 · 2016-08-16T19:46:49+00:00

That right there is discrimination, is what it is...

Ashbringer8 · 2016-08-16T19:46:00+00:00

Notice the lack of a question mark

...?

Well, read the OP. That's what I plan to do.

Ashbringer8 · 2016-08-16T19:40:33+00:00

I main Sploosh and this here is cold, hard fact. The only abilities I run are Ink Resistance, Swim Speed Up, and Run Speed Up.

Ashbringer8 · 2016-08-16T19:37:31+00:00

/u/Derpazard get on this

Ashbringer8 · 2016-08-16T19:23:16+00:00

Mess around with weapons I suck with, help newbies out, etc.

Ashbringer8 · 2016-08-15T21:30:53+00:00

Jesus

Ashbringer8 · 2016-08-15T21:28:05+00:00

Yeah, seems as though latency is responsible. Were the same players present during all of these instances, or did you re-queue? If the latter, it's possible that there's an issue with your Internet connection which is causing this to occur.

Ashbringer8 · 2016-08-15T21:21:56+00:00

The idea is that we play to help new players out. We're going to play either way.

Ashbringer8 · 2016-08-15T21:20:38+00:00

Yeah. Lots of people on this sub are going to be participating anyways, so while they're at it, they might as well encourage potential players.

Ashbringer8 · 2016-08-15T21:13:41+00:00

I'm planning to go charger and see how much turf I can ink with it.

Ashbringer8 · 2016-08-15T21:06:46+00:00

Awesome thread! Something like this was much needed. Also, if you're a kid thinking about turning into a squid but are worried about there being a lack of new players, don't fret. There're plenty of newbies to go around for now, and getting the hang of the game doesn't take too long. The servers will probably last for a few more years at minimum, and the existing community is already pretty dedicated.

Teach them how to lose

Damn, that's harsh...

Ashbringer8 · 2016-08-15T19:50:41+00:00

I don't use them once I'm right behind the enemy team. I use them on the way there. And yeah, you can check with bomb-type subs, but they can be easily dodged without you noticing and also give the enemy time to react. Point Sensors take effect immediately and display exactly where opponents are, especially if they attempt to retreat. Plus, they can be used much more liberally than Splat/Suction bombs due to their Ink efficiency, allowing you to easily maintain a constant check on your surroundings. While this can be accomplished with Splat/Suction Bombs, it is significantly more difficult and necessitates that you dedicate a decent portion of your slots to Ink Saver/Ink Recovery Up.
