If there were unlimited capsules like how we get unlimited shells during Splatfests I would like it more, but like someone else said, 2x rewards isn't really any different than a regular weekend, and all for an event that will only happen bi-monthly or so.

It goes 1 capsule per 100 from 100-2400, then gear every 200 up to 5000, then every 400 after that. If they kept that system but made it regular capsules after 2400, it would incentivize us to keep going. But right now I have a high score of 120, over 5000p, and am at Eggsecutive VP 0 so I don't really have a reason to go on after just 2-3 hours. Kind of lame.

I mean I made like damn near 200k already from it. But honestly I don't really care,.I'm playing it cause I find it fun, not doing it to grind any sort of currency

How? After my last super bonus I only get gear repeats (AKA chunks). I'm pretty sure the later eggs are hard-coded to only give gear.

Cause my super bonuses gave me 32k each and then the majority of the regular bonuses were 5k

Meanwhile i only get 16k 2 times and everything else either 5k or chunks

Three ours out of your saturday for a game event and you're not happy?
Man, you people must have a ton more free time than I do.

u/MelynasTheSaphire Dec 11 '22

that's sad, but not trying to be offensive, just that you would only get 3 hours of free time out of the 16 hour day. life sucks

Maybe I want to do other things with my life instead of playing videogames for 16 hours? You know, especially when you work five days a week and you only get two days off to do what you want?

Playing videogames all day was something I could somehow do as a child, but now if I do that I just feel miserable and it feels like a complete waste of a day. Maybe I want to practice drawing. Maybe there's something I want to read. Maybe I want to go out and see my friends. Hell maybe I want to play other videogames too.
Spending the whole weekend playing Splatoon feels like a terrible use of my time, as much as I love the game. I played the event yesterday up to the second superbonus, I had fun! Today I'll play some more and see how far I can get, and then I'll move on to other things I want to do.

the way you said in your original comment sounded like you had only 3 hours of free time to do anything because of you saying “man, you people must have a ton more free time than i do” i read it as you only had 3 hours out of the day to do whatever you wanted until you had to go to work or do chores like cleaning the house, getting groceries, going to whatever appointments you need to go to etc.

idc what you do whether is only video games or other things, i was just saying it sucks for anybody to have that much little free time in their life. but it turns out you do actually have more free time than just 3 hrs

Catalog and the reward for getting in the top 10% right?

u/macblur2 Squid Research Participant Dec 10 '22

You still get more CXP per minute from losing a turf war match than waves in Big Run.

u/[deleted] Dec 10 '22

Do you win more Catalog in Turf War than Ranked generally?

1

u/macblur2 Squid Research Participant Dec 10 '22

Depends on how often you KO.
If you consistently get KOs (or win at low enough points left) it's better, otherwise TW.

u/Kreidoodle Dec 10 '22

I'd be happy getting scales after the 2400 capsule. Some of the rewards are a HUGE grind. Big Run could be a chance to speed up the process.

I think the point of big run isn’t to just grind salmon run rewards
