Struggling to find games on the Splatfest yet again. :blank:

Either Team South Pole has very low numbers or something is up with matchmaking.

 

Looks like private/friend battles are now possible during a Splatfest though, which is cool.

Maybe Europe just doesn't care about Splatoon :(

I've been playing for the last couple of hours and not had any trouble finding matches and not a single disconnect, much better than on previous splatfests. That's on Team North Pole. The general standard of play has been noticably worse than usual though.

Since this thread is more active than the Splatoon online thread, I'll just quote myself:

 

Hi everyone! I haven't been on these boards for a long time now, but my Wii U has still been used almost daily in all these months.

 

Now, I'm hooked on Splatoon. Some of you may know already, as I have several of you on my friend list. And with the August 6th update, I'm ready for some private battles and squad battles! Have anyone here created any squads yet and tried this mode?

 

But now and for the next 24 hours... SPLAAAATFEEEEEEEEST!

And now that I have reached maximum level this Splatfest, I'm ready for some private battles! Is anyone free right now for battles? I am available the next five hours!

Played Splatfest for an hour, had my fill... ::shrug:

 

Nothing wrong with the game, I just sometimes have to feel in the mood to play it, Splatfests just makes me feel obligated to play, they are fine though, it's nice that they go to the effort of putting them on but I just don't feel compelled to keep playing for ages when I've other games to play. : peace:

Gotten to champion and probs gonna give up. What a bloody mission. Don't think its me so maybe there just wasn't enough south pole opposition voters or they really need to put some lore resource into their online infrastructure for this.

Good work South Pole - a close match!

 

Popularity: N: 52%, S: 48%

Wins: N:48%, S: 52%

 

Thanks to the heavier weighting for wins, that means the South are victorious! I'm not taking any of the credit for this one, though - I lost way more matches than I won this time..

First time on the losing side, but this splatfest was the most fun for me. The others felt like an absolute grind.

 

I had no problem finding games (I was a north voter)

 

At one point we had the same team of 4 for ages. It was a joy. We all knew our roles and functioned very well, usually pinning the opponents in their base.

 

I'd like to get some squad battles going with people from here soon.

I DMZ'd my Wii U after the issues I had on Thursday and haven't seen any error messages, disconnects or even lag since.

 

Don't know if anyone else has tried this?

I don't think there will be security issues with a console from doing this, although I'm no expert.

I'm going to give this a try. Normally, standard games are fine for me, its just Splatfests that have any issues. Which is odd when Splatfests are basically region locked matches. :wtf:

Yeah I can't see why it'd be any different but I guess no harm in trying it next time. I'm surprised by the closeness of the results - definitely won a lot more matches than lost for North Pole myself! Sadly I don't think I managed at all to stay with the same team between matches due to all the connection issues.
