How so? Still takes me less than a minute to find most matches.

Splatfests being too fun making the main game boring, also the results of splatfest being retardedly disappointing

>>387192131
>3 weeks after release
>Still no new maps

They got too greedy this time. After the release of the first game they had a steady stream of maps ready for release. This time apparently they don't have shit.

Last night playing online people just stopped competing and were just walking around the map doing fuck all. What the hell is this? Did this happen in Splatoon 1?

>>387192852
Occasionally people would break into squid parties but it was pretty rare. I still haven't seen it happen yet in Spla2n. Maybe they were a group of friends?

I'm noticing a lot of these "___ is ded/died quick" threads lately. Why?

>>387193074
it's a meme like everything else on this board

>>387192440
I think it's a little weird that there haven't been any new maps yet, Splatoon 1 got Port Mackerel in 4 days and Kelp Dome in 12. I don't get why the trickle is so slow when there's so much unreleased content in the game already.

The game was probably rushed compared to Splat 1. With Splat 1, they didn't know whether the game was going to be successful, so they had more content at the ready to make it seem like it was constantly being updated in hopes of drawing in more players in the early days.

But with Splat 2, they probably just rushed development since Splatoon is a proven brand now and they can rely on its name alone to move units.

The fact it wasn't released closer to the console's launch and that it re-uses so many maps and assets is kind of a red flag.

>>387193698

>>387192131
its an expansion with a new story
its not really the type of sequel i wanted imo

>>387193482
people made the same type of threads for sony pc and mircosoft stop pretending nintendo only gets shit on

>>387192131
It's just that there haven't been any new maps added. Gets kind of boring playing on the same 6 or so maps. I don't see what the hold up is, I'm pretty sure they could just import all the 1 maps today if they felt like it.

>>387194172
What were you looking for, then?

>>387193986
It was rushed, and so was Splatoon 1. In 2 the game shipped with Marooner's Bay incomplete, missing most of it's textures.

>>387193986
That's true. I'm wondering if they'll have a big update like the 2.0 update for Splat 1 in September or something, just to get people back to the game with new weapons and maybe a mode.

>>387192131
Its a shitty rehash with barely anything worthwhile added.

It's not Spatoon 2, it's Splatoon DX.

>>387193232
they added a new map during the splatfest

Are we just doing this meme to every new multiplayer game now? Splatoon is bigger than ever.

I don't think it died like arms did, I just got to S+ rank a lot faster than in the first game

The first Splatoon had new content every week during the summer whereas in this one we've been playing the same stuff for almost a month

On disc content locked behind a paywall.

THIS is the biggest problem. holy shit what a blunder

how could they possibly think that only two maps per two hours was okay? Don't give me that "it's to encourage ranked play" bullshit. the majority of people don't care about ranked and just want to hop on and play turf war.

>>387192440
>>387193986
the real reason is that they are also supporting ARMS with even more intensive free updates (despite the fact that it's actually dead, not shitposting dead)

>>387192131
Why can't i play against the fucking Japanese!? Now i play with rude assholes 24/7! At least the Japanese show respect and play hard respectfully. Now i face teabagging fuck your splatoon term shit every fucking corner! every fucking hour! every fucking game mode. The fucking rudeness is beyond disbelief, that it sadden me that i will never play against the passionate, caring, thoughtful, respectful Japanese again.

>>387198416
They're separate development teams.

>>387198416

>i can literally only have fun if i get to pick what map i play all the time
you're the reason tf2 was almost all 2fort and every cod is almost all nuketown and almost all csgo is dust2

>>387198416
But the support for ARMS is even fucking slower. The first update came like a month after release and had nothing but the boss and map that you could already witness in game, just not play. It's like two months and we might see the first sign of original content if the twitter teasing is anything to go by.

From what I can guess, Nintendo saw how much bank Splatoon made despite Splatoon 1 releasing as the equivalent of a Steam Early Access game, and thought they could replicate that success with ARMS and Splatoon 2. What they forgot is that Splatoon was hit with boatloads of new content DAYS after it was out, whereas ARMS and Splatoon 2 also come off as Early Access like 1 yet have nowhere near the stream of steady content.

As others have said, ARMS and Splatoon 2 were probably rushed to pad up the Switch launch's first half, leaving little backup content to be created. In Splatoon 1 they already had a lot of content finished that they slowly leaked out, then by the time that backup content had released they had already created a second batch of content and slowly released it too.

>>387198758
Don't put words in my mouth, faggot

All I'm saying is that it would be nice to play more than 2 maps every hour. You can play about ten matches in an hour. If you were to play for those two hours straight that's 20 matches, each with a 50% chance of playing on THE SAME MAP next round. fucking ridiculous, I can't believe you nintenbabbies defend this

>>387197401
>sloshing machine
what for?
>trislosher kills in 2 hits without needing good aim
They already ruined the point of having that weapon.

>>387192131
>what went wrong?
They called it Splatoon 2 and not Splatoon Deluxe

>>387199062
But in most others games where you can choose its one map for fucking ever

>>387199062
yes of course, we're both absolutely certain that you'd be okay with 3 maps every 1 hour, you wouldn't want any more freedom than that

>>387198259
>per 2 hours
in the previous game it was like 6 hours or some shit.

>>387198758
Not that guy, but at the very least have it like Mario Kart 8 where you can vote from a handful of stages and have access to a Random option if you don't like any of them

>>387199137
>Splatoon Deluxe
>Not Splatoon X

Balance issues. Lack of depth. 1in3 matches there's an afk/disconnected player meaning one side wins easy. Connectivity issues particularly over wifi and the switch doesnt come with ethernet included. Grizzco is closed half the week. The 2 hour map rotation constantly kicks players to menu. Long intro everytime you boot the program up. Etc.

But it's still popular? I'm guessing you're autistic and only ever look at /v/ so if a game isn't being spammed on here you consider it dead.
Also, people don't need to talk about a video game 24/7. I don't know if you know this, but people actually spend time playing video games instead of shitposting on /v/ like you.

>>387199689
if you're playing ranked in splatoon 2 that's why

>>387199689
No I still never notice. I'm S as well When the fuck are you playing? 3am? Seriously what the fuck? Can you record a session please?

>>387199689
Yeah. That's because most people are stuck in lower ranks, only good people can actually make it into S and S+. Of course there would be less people the higher you go.

How to fix Splatoon 2

>3 maps a rotation
>Give us new maps in the regular rotation at a rate faster than once a month
>Create a mini-splatfest for inbetween splatfests, use old choices, no t shirt or dance rave, no x vs y, just tally up individual performance and popular vote.
>Rebalance the weapons, give trislosher damage fall off, I don't play ranked but I'm sure there are problem weapons in those modes that need light tuning
>Across the board increase in ink gain
>Introduce clothing recoloring

I'm sure there's more suggestions but these to me would be pretty big, what are your guys' suggestions?

>>387199689
Is this your first competitive game with a tier ranking and skill-based matchmaking. High ranks are extremely sparsely populated compared to lower ones. Hell try overwatch even, grandmasters is a wasteland

>>387199895
>>I don't play ranked
>increase ink gain

Because if you want the game to be balanced around ranked you're no better than the melee fags, now go switch to another weapon before your break your RT

>>387192131
Like most multiplayer-based games, it has like no content

If the only enjoyment in a game is seeing if you can beat another player/team, it's absurdly easy to get bored of it

>>387200332
>they should cater to filthy causals like me
Go back to overwatch you dumb shit

Why is it that if a game doesn't constantly have a thread going on /v/ its considered dead?

You're only playing one mode or one type of weapon.

Try switching weapon classes. Try a sniper or a roller.

>>387192131
It died out because the matchmaking is ass and you get newcomers like me getting matched against people that have been playing this shit since the original.

It made me quit, and I imagine it's made a lot of other people quit as well.

I wanted to buy it but after playing the demo i was kind of on the fence. Ill probably still get it in a couple weeks, but from what i can tell they didnt really add much. They didnt make a larger story mode, and they didnt add too many play modes. I forgave 1 for being so bare bones because Nintendo was gambling hard with it. But i just dont see the reason to pick this up when i can still play the first one online.

But they are usually the most unfun since they are the most unbalanced, everyone just plays with the only worthwhile character/weapon/etc.
Just look at Funky Bike Wii or Super Meta Knight Bros Brawl.

because patching it for the 5% of the playing population who crack open a gamer fuel and take their pants off before every ranked game is retarded.

Keep it fun and keep the target demo in mind. Add more variety in the map rotation and put out more maps. Add random colors to gear and the opportunity to dye it, people love that shit. Give us an in between splatfests event. Add shit that just makes it more fun for the wide casual appeal the game is marketed for. The only balance suggestions I gave were trislosher fall off which I'm convinced having no fall off at all is a bug and increase ink gain to quicken the pace of the game

Same shitty game as the first Splatoon, which catered to waifufags/fetishists and young children. There are a number of reasons why it's dead now:

The kiddies who played the first one grew up a bit and don't want to play baby games anymore, they want "mature" shooters like cowadoody.

The waifufags/fetishists don't like the new girls/ had their ranks thinned by the party van for their 2 tb inkling porn folders
