Octoling Hype Thread (prev. Assets in SplatNet)

[The Not So Dank Kid-Squid]

Oh my god yes, Octoweapons. Gimme gimme gimme. I'd love new octarian themed weapons, we've already gotten new gear in the form of the Octoglasses and Forge Octarian Jacket, why not more octarian weapons? Octobrush is life, so I can only imagine we could get something like an octarian charger, splatling, slosher, etc. It'd add much more variety into the game too.

I'd be on the Pumpkin Pie side, nothing beats a good ol' family tradition! I'm perplexed as to why we don't have a Splatfest next week. I wonder what the hold up is about and I wonder if it's worth the wait, or maybe they are waiting for the resort to come out so it can be in the splatfest's rotation along with Museum and Arowana. It's pretty clear each splatfest has different stages in rotations, so it's a thought!

There's never been more than one stage between Splatfests ever since each region's first Splatfests. Then again, they're messing with the formulas around recently big time, so who knows?

Oh no...if we get some kind of Splatfest involving snow and/or snowmen, I can already see the FIFTEEN MILLION Miiverse posts saying "Do you want to build a snowman" or some other Frozen reference... >_<

Well, besides that I don't know if it even snows in Inkopolis (they have cold-weather clothing though), I wouldn't mind much. Right next to the doorway in my room are the high-quality version 13-inch plushes of Anna and Elsa.

Snow? You mean slow falling DEATH PELLETS?!

 

[Litagano Motscoud]

(Sorry)
Would you guys want Octoweapons? (not the bosses, but like an Octoling replica of diff weapons like the Charger or maybe unique Octo weapons?)

I want Octoweapons with different gimmicks to them.

I want Octoweapons with different gimmicks to them.

I want Octoweapons big enough to be called Octo Gears.

Probably fanart, but it looks reasonable to expect.

I dig her jacket.

We could use a peace treaty with Octo Valley.

It'll be the Frozen apocalypse all over again.

Uh oh, those poor Inklings need to take cover quick then! That deadly snow will kill them for sure (or just get splatted)!

Artbook stuff on Octolings :3

It snows in Japan. Tokyo doesn't usually get more than an extremely light dusting (and not a lot sticks because concrete and asphalt tend to melt snow are poor surfaces to support snow), but somewhere like Triggerfish would be covered in deep drifts, possibly having to be closed during the winter. All the outdoor locations would end up wet and slippery, too--

OMG. What if they ran the Pikmin 3 rain engine over the Splatoon maps during winter? I mean, it would totally destroy our headcanons about "rain is really bad news for Inklings", but it would look SO GOOD!! ^_^

Splatoon is getting an 1 hour maintenance tomorrow.

This could mean either a minor update, a new stage, or Octolings...I doubt it would be Octolings though. But if it's an update, we can data mine it for something Octoling-ish.

...Or it could just be a minor update to the servers. But that would be boring!

I would be happy with a QoS quickfix that reduces some of that lag and disconnecting.

 

[Paragon-Yoshi]

We are talking maintenance, not updates.

New files are only added with updates.
Maintenance is simply to keep the servers up and running.

Is anyone just being swamped with new gear to buy/order?

I had to override my pearl tee order just so I could get my bubble rain boots.

mine aren't showing up actually. I mean, I got a bunch of new gear and stuff, but some times the shops have literally nothing.

 

[Joseph Staleknight]

Yeah, same here. Sometimes the store won't have anything new on sale and I'll have to wait for the next day to try again.

Wasn't the cause of the rising sea levels global warming and melting polar ice caps? Or was its source never explained and people just say it's global warming because riding sea levels are commonly associated with global warming?

I'm still left wondering what the boy Octoling would look like.

Nice! I like the Tako and Yaki one better(with blue and yellow scheme), however

....This is nice, I am okay with this.

My personal gripe with that one is that it feels a bit too obvious in terms of names. Sure, Callie and Marie don't seem much better, but at least they're actual names.
