I think that Challenges should be a constant rotation, with either every week or two days changing what the challenge is (SR map and weapon rotation style) and the map/modes changing every 2 hours like normal. This would mix up stale challenges that always seem to end up on the same mode/maps, while still allowing for challenges to last longer.
Challenges being so limited will perpetually baffle me with how its handled. Like even if it was a 24 hour thing, people would still be worried about missing out because they might really want to play a specific challenge mode or a specific map. This sort of thing has been built into the game from day one, where you can always play but if you want to play multiplayer on a specific map or salmon run with a specific weapon, you have to find the right time. Why on earth they would compound this by also making the mode available for only 6 hours a week, I will never understand.
Splatoon needs more promotional material in general, not in Japan, they have a LOT already, we need more in different countries so that people can at least try the game out
This doesn't just apply to limited time events with the limited times too, it's also affects regular multiplayer wish just just UNACCEPTABLE. I can understand having limited time events happening every once in a while, but that time gating window shouldn't affect regular multiplayer. Anyone should be able to play any random map with a random gamemode and learn to adapt when playing. Since you aren't going to be playing the same thing over and over again, it keeps things fresh and it can help you with building gamesense and with learning your weapon in multiple situations so you can get better at the weapon. Plus it can help keep the game from getting stale like it is right now because since the game has so much fomo it feels like it's lost that goty title. Also, why can't the events take place for an entire month like how overwatch and TF2 does it. Both games have special events that last for about a month and it always keeps players interested by what they bring to the table for the game, like overwatch's seasonal events for summer, Lucio ball, Halloween, junkenstien missions, and Christmas events for winter, Mei's snowball brawl and yeti hunt. TF2 on the other hand has a Halloween event called screamfortress, an entire month of being able to wear Halloween restricted cosmetics, playing on Halloween maps and some new game modes (as of October 2023). Screamfortress is one of the most iconic events in gamic due to it both giving the game the most amount of players at a time in the game's history while also giving players a chance to wear some of the most iconic cosmetics ever brought into the game like the mercenary bird heads, Halloween costume sets, the voodoo cursed souls for the mercs, and some of the most wanted warpaints in the whole game. But if you're just going to have it for the weekend, it doesn't feel like it has any staying power if you're only gonna play it for a weekend, it feels worthless for playing so much to not get anything. Just like in Splatfests, even if your playing pro for hours appon hours, you either have to get lucky in rng to get conch shells in x10 battles or even moreso when you get a x100 battle to play. It just because you can only get lucky and get only 1 conch for the entire splatfest. For the regular battles it just sucks because since your forced to play two modes for 2 hours at a time, you don't get that much variety in gameplay other than the teams tour get and the load out you get.
Eggstra Work is fine. We just need challenges to be more accessible and longer timeslots. They also put interesting Salmon Run rotations during Splatfest or challenges near other limited time events.
I agree that EggstraWork should run all month long. that was a great idea. Challenges should probably run every weekend that is not a Splatfest or Big Run. We need more maps per rotation. Most Importantly Turf War desperately needs new modes, cuz that is boring and the worst part of Splatfest and the monthly challenge. Like seriously why is it a monthly challenge to do boring Turf War?
As a player who has already 2k+ hours, i feel the game doesn't need a new permanent mode. I'm fine with how the timed events are except for challenges. Another 2 timeslots to make 5 and for it to run more frequently would be more ideal.
You know if i didn't have social media, i would miss 90% of splatoon events...

You didn't mention my favorite mode, tableturf, i expect an indef tableturf video as an aplogy for this.
Tableturf is the neglected middle child child of Splatoon game modes
I mean... why make them limited time?

I think Challenge should be open 24/7 with different modes for every 2 hours. So people can have a chance to achieve the highest power.

The problem with challenges is that very few people play it. So it’s very difficult to get top 5%
For me (in Sydney) they’re almost always from 7am-9am or 10pm-12am. Completely useless times for regular people to be able to play
Mossyjade I love your accent!
Thank you!!
I really wish that challenges weren't timed it would literally make me so much more inclined to try them out
I feel like what I want is a new rank. Splatoon is feeling a little boring for me. I kinda what some new things

We need more maps per rotation.
