Animal Crossing is about catching bugs and buying furniture.

Drop some facts brehs I didn’t watch this or any Nintendo direct ever.

Is it’s going to be like the OG family style where you can have multiple people in one village again? Would love that for the family, it’s the one game we all play including wifey

No idea. But it was the case for every game until New Leaf.

I'm so excited to play (what I assume will be) a good Animal Crossing on a console again, for the first time since GC. City Folk sucked and almost made me drop the series.

It was The Bore that actually got me to pick up New Leaf, and now I'm back in AC's warm embrace. :heart

Yeah that's the truly wonderful part. We get both the total immersion of a home console game, playing under a blanket while it rains outside, maybe even meeting up at a friend's town online; AND we get to take the game and play it anywhere we want, whenever we want, to catch up on the more chore-like daily tasks when we have minutes to spare.

This might be the ultimate Animal Crossing if they pull it off right.

The Switch is such a genius design.

I'm so glad that my dream system was finally realized with the Switch. I have no idea why they didn't do that with the Wii U. If you look at my previous Wii U posts you'll see I asked for them to do exactly what Switch is at least as far back as 2011. Never stop having faith :heartbeat

Yeah, I did as well and so did a bunch of others. Sometimes Nintendo has to find out the hard way though, lol. I had fantasies of bringing a "standalone" Wii U GamePad on the T shortly after the system launched.

Today, that's basically what I'm doing with the Switch. :rejoice

The new release date means I have nine whole months to finish up New Leaf! I can't wait to get the gang back together. :heart

I imagine the NookPhone interface will be 1:1 with the Switch Online App's AC section.

I'm OK with Tortimer going back to being the mayor honestly... or there being no official mayor (but the player retaining their abilities to update the town from New Leaf.)


Well, what about Isabelle? I loved greeting her daily. :(

I imagine they're saving Isabelle and her in-game function for a September/October-timed Direct to keep excitement going. :) She's easily the breakout star of the series, probably more than the Villager, Nook, and Totakeke at this point.

Then, when it comes to online and local wireless, up to eight players can be on an island. This is doubled from New Leaf’s previous 4-player limit. And though there is a travel theme to New Horizons, Kyogoku confirmed you can’t set up a tent on a friend’s island. However, Kyogoku told IGN you can make up to eight playable accounts on one Nintendo Switch and they will be able to live on the same island. You cannot have multiple islands, however.

4-player single-screen local multplayer + 8-player online. :rejoice

Each Switch account gets its own tent on the island (not an island per account.)

Some random New Horizons observations based on the E3 demo (may change):

- There still isn't an icon or other marker on items being sold by Nook that you've purchased before/are in your catalogue
- For crafting at least, it does display the quantity of the currently highlighted item, both in your current inventory as well as in your (expansive) "wardrobe"
- Axes, or at least "Flimsy Axes," don't cut down trees but produce various kinds of wood/sticks for crafting -- it's unknown if there's a way to remove trees at all
- Elevated land including hills and cliffs return after being absent in New Leaf
- The "Call an Islander" feature seems specific to those who have local Switch accounts set up, and is the entry point to local co-op (but has nothing to do with online)
- If true, the "Leader" mechanic which allows another player to make changes to your town, may be local-only

You’ll start with two or so neighbors in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Nogami said that when you first arrive on the island through Nook Inc. Deserted Island Getaway Package, you’ll arrive with two or so other random Islanders who chose to participate in the package as well. Nogami said because they invested in this package that they have as much of a right to stay on the island as you do. However, Kyogoku said before they choose a spot for their home, they’ll check with you to see if it’s okay. If you don’t like where they settle down you can tell them you don’t want to build in that particular spot and move their house location to wherever you see fit.

Absolutely fantastic, and not only will increasing the number of villagers on your island over time lead to a stronger sense of progression, but each villager will be progressing on their own alongside you!

Quote
Nogami said the elements and buildings of the town we unlock won’t be in the same order as New Leaf's, however.

Makes sense, not sure if there's even separate areas anymore like City, Island, Campground, etc. I kind of hope there aren't separate areas and everything is in one "place" again like AC GC and Wild World.

Quote
You'll be able to invite animals to your island in some way in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

In New Leaf, we were able to recruit and invite Villagers to be part of our town. Kyogoku said there would be a system provide an opportunity to invite animals to the island, but not necessarily seek out one of Animal Crossing's many animals.

Hmm, guess importing any villager you want via their Amiibo card/Wisp is out.

Quote
Nook Miles are a new currency in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

“Bells are used to, of course, pay off the loan, but I think in previous titles there was some sort of value associated with Bells,” Kyogoku said. “For instance, a very rare beetle could be sold [for a high price] and a lot of players would focus on that and then would maybe, on the other hand, ignore a very common butterfly after donating it to the museum. The value of that has changed with Miles.”

So basically MEOW Coupons from Welcome Amiibo just applied to everything, not a subset of Camp-only items. I actually really loved the MEOW Coupon concept after diving into it (after ignoring it for a while, since I was unnecessarily wary of Welcome Amiibo's changes overall.) The idea that even common butterflies will still be worth catching every time you play is fantastic and solves one of the issues with the core gameplay loop.

Quote
* There isn’t a direct connection between New Horizons and Pocket Camp
* You can choose your skin tone in New Horizon
* Kyogoku said New Horizons has one island per single system (https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/06/12/nintendo-confirms-new-details-about-multiplayer-in-animal-crossing-new-horizons-e3-2019)
* There are no new personality types.
* Isabelle will be in New Horizons, but you’ll have to earn her. (https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/06/12/is-isabelle-in-animal-crossing-new-horizons-yes-e3-2019)
* The Nook Phone will get new apps, like the design feature from New Leaf.
* You can’t set up a tent on a friend’s island.
* Voice chat will likely be done through the Nintendo Switch Online app.
* There are new ways to improve your friendship with Islanders, like gifting them crafted items.
* Islanders can teach you new DIY recipes.

The rolling log effect is still there, but this is the closest any game since the GameCube original has gotten to replicating the top-down look. :D

Which is the next best thing to having a GC camera option like I've wanted since Wild World. :heart (I've never cared for the rolling log effect, though tbh if they removed it I might actually miss it...)

Edit- For comparison:

(https://i.imgur.com/14mrYuV.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/97mfHtT.jpg)

Really studying the differences in New Leaf and New Horizons, the actual horizon has been moved a little further lower from the top of the screen, but the rolling "down" effect at the bottom of the screen is way less pronounced.

Basically in NL, objects at the bottom of the screen would look tilted forward almost 90 degrees when they cross the bottom of the screen. But in NH, they remain much more "flat" as they cross the boundary of the screen. This is far more pleasant, though it really reminds me of City Folk so I may need to do a comparison there as well...

To better visualize the camera changes I made a diagram.

But first, here is how the world of Animal Crossing is rendered in-game from a top-down view:

(https://i.imgur.com/GEWZTyV.gif)

(https://i.imgur.com/Vqlazu4.png)

The circle and oval represent the world of Animal Crossing when viewed from the side. The red line is the camera boundary, what the player sees.

Basically it seems like the world is deliberately "flatter" towards the bottom of the screen (the right side of the camera viewport) which I think is a very a welcome change.

how did she shovel the tree out without chopping it down first?!

And stuff added to op!

Post by: Tasty on June 15, 2019, 02:19:59 AM
Seems like they're limiting destructive actions in more areas; "pulling" flowers just plucks the bulb but leaves the stems for them to grow back. I would bet that the shovel can be used for the "old" behavior of plucking the whole thing to transplant elsewhere, making the action consistent between flowers and trees. And consistency makes me happy. :D You've also never been able to transplant entire trees before, just plant fruit/saplings, so that's more player freedom too!

As for chopping, I would imagine that a "Sharp Axe" item or somesuch might have that ability.

Alright, played NL tonight. I've got golden can, and silver everything else. I'm missing about 20 or so bugs, about half of fish, and half of the ocean animals. Tips on getting to golden everything? I've also never played during winter or fall so maybe that's why I'm missing so many fish and bugs. Also, I just don't have space for anything anymore. Almost all of my cupboard space is taken up and I'm always juggling for more.

I've forgotten a few things. I forgot I had some turnips last time and now they're all rotten. I buried them. Is that good or bad? forgot.
Title: Re: ANIMAL CROSSING: NEW HORIZONS - this is now the cutest thread on The Bore!
Post by: Tasty on June 15, 2019, 09:17:26 AM
For me it's summer bugs and fish I'm missing somehow. :thinking I have like six bushes and I've NEVER SEEN A FUCKING SNAIL WTF

Golden Can was the last golden item I got, was hard keeping the town perfect for so long haha. It's easily my most used item now though!

For the rest:

The Net and Rod are locked behind museum completion.

The Shovel is easy, just purchase 50 fertilizers. The Axe is just as easy, purchase 50 saplings from Leif.

Slingshot is random (but rare) after you shoot 13 balloons, and it's visibly in a golden toolbox.

Post by: Tasty on June 15, 2019, 09:29:25 AM
I've only ever fully completed the museum in Wild World, and it's because of that fucker Redd and his inconsistent schedule (plus I guess selling forgeries is morally wrong or whatever, though thanks to the internet that's not really a problem for me personally.) In ACGC (and soon New Leaf) I completed everything but the art exhibits...

But 9 months should be enough time to get the remaining 15 pieces (out of 33) that I'm still missing.

Post by: Tasty on June 15, 2019, 11:08:12 AM
Welcome Amiibo is to New Leaf what the American GameCube version of the original was to the Japanese N64 version.

Basically it's the same game but with a whole bunch of noticeable upgrades (it's even called out as ACNL 1.5 in the title screen.) Compared to the base game, Welcome Amiibo's changes include:
Basically a ton of new content and QoL enhancements. I ignore the campground and Amiibo stuff for the most part, but I do try to complete the Town Initiatives when I can (or I'm looking for something to do.) Half the time I complete an initiative without even realizing it though, until I walk by the CAT Machine next to town hall and see it glowing. :lol

Man, I don't like my town anymore, or my house. I want to redo EVERYTHING. I have too many trees. My native fruit is pear and I have wayyyy too pear trees and fruit trees in general. It's a bitch to navigate. A lot of my perfect pear trees are now dead. I got some fertilizer in the mail and I planted one next to a dead tree. I want to chop some trees down but I'm worried it will lower my town ranking. I'm used to have a perfect town with ease but I no longer want to keep track of all of this. idk what to do.

Also I have to relearn the entire game now despite dumping 200-300 hours into it. I forgot the timing for fishing up sharks for instance and keep missing opportunities.

Switch does not have a save management system (outside of deletion.) Certain games support Cloud Saves -- a paid feature as part of Nintendo Switch Online. Otherwise, if you damage or lose your system, you're fucked.

Additionally, games can opt out of supporting Cloud Saves, and frequently do if they have a significant online component (ex. Splatoon 2 and Pokemon Let's Go) in order to prevent "cheating." This is the current reasoning on why Animal Crossing: New Horizons will not support Cloud Saves.

I signed the petition because I disagree; there is literally no save file as important as the one for Animal Crossing to an Animal Crossing player.

Literally not a single thing wrong I saw in the footage (other than tools not being in the item inventory, grumble... though them having a star icon in the upper right is interesting...) It all looks so fucking good. Especially winter. I can't wait for some reason. :lawd

Crafting is a great fit for AC. The functionality and simplicity of the NookPhone is genius. 8-player online is FUCKING SWEET but we already knew that. Photo mode looks decked the fuck out. HOLY SHIT at the player customization, literally a generational leap. Outside furniture placement yoooooo. Putting your tent literally anywhere INCLUDING THE BEACH YOOOOO.

I think the thing I'm most excited about is the NookMiles program. They're taking the MEOW Coupons from Welcome Amiibo, basically optional mini sidequests refreshed each day and week, and merging it with Smash's Challenges. :lawd

Animal Crossing: New Horizons gets listed on the Europe Nintendo Switch eShop (https://animalcrossingworld.com/2019/12/animal-crossing-new-horizons-gets-listed-on-the-europe-nintendo-switch-eshop/)

Perhaps most exciting is that you can now easily view the screenshots in full screen from the eShop on your console… almost as if you were playing it yourself! Almost.

That's stupid. What kind of... of fucking nerd would... do that... 😶

"The manga will follow a protagonist named Hana and her struggles on an unpopulated island."

I get that it makes the game more convenient and more immediately enjoyable (and therefore is a direct upgrade to its predecessors) to most, but there's something to be said for being dropped into an established town as just another indebted villager as opposed to being some type of Mad King that gets to shape not only the stores and personage of the island, but who now can split and rend the very earth itself before their whims!

Like, being able to control where other people set their houses rubs against what I liked about Animal Crossing and pushes it closer to being something like The Sims.

I kind of feel the same, but am ok with something different as they've pretty much been rehashing the same game since the gamecube (which I don't think has been eclipsed).

Please post your Switch Codes so that I can organize them and we can friend each other. During ACNL, for about three to six months the Bore gang played ACNL together pretty much *daily*.

Tips for AC beginners:

- a key way to paying off bills is fruit

- each person gets their own unique village fruit. It could be bananas, cherries, durans, or others. Shake a tree and some fruit will drop. Plant them right and fruit trees will sprout. When it grows you will have fruit to sell. This is called native fruit. Native fruit sells well but not as much as...

- foreign fruit. You obtain foreign fruit by spending time with friends. You go to your friends village or they to yours and get some fruit. Then you plant it, let it grow, and sell it. You'll get tons of money doing this.

- Turnips. Joan the Boar sells Turnips every Sunday. I'm not sure if she's in ACNH as there's a new piggy that sells them now, but you basically buy turnips in bulk to sell. It's a risk. Then in the morning you check your towns stalk market. You can sometimes predict trends but it's mostly random. You have 7 days to sell all of your turnips before they become rotten. You can get a million bells easy by buying a shit ton of turnips and loading them at the store. Each person has their own personalized pricing for stalks, so we often check with friends and update each other on the prices turnips are going for. Maybe your turnips are selling for 50 but I'm selling them for 1000 a turnip. If you bought lots of turnips as an investment, say 300 turnips, you can earn a sizable amount of Bells with ease. But there's risk. For one, you can't miss out and you have to stay completely on top of the stalk market. If you invest 200k into Turnips and they go rotten you've wasted your money and you can't get it back.

Please post your Switch Codes so that I can organize them and we can friend each other. During ACNL, for about three to six months the Bore gang played ACNL together pretty much *daily*.

Tips for AC beginners:

- a key way to paying off bills is fruit

- each person gets their own unique village fruit. It could be bananas, cherries, durans, or others. Shake a tree and some fruit will drop. Plant them right and fruit trees will sprout. When it grows you will have fruit to sell. This is called native fruit. Native fruit sells well but not as much as...

- foreign fruit. You obtain foreign fruit by spending time with friends. You go to your friends village or they to yours and get some fruit. Then you plant it, let it grow, and sell it. You'll get tons of money doing this.

- Turnips. Joan the Boar sells Turnips every Sunday. I'm not sure if she's in ACNH as there's a new piggy that sells them now, but you basically buy turnips in bulk to sell. It's a risk. Then in the morning you check your towns stalk market. You can sometimes predict trends but it's mostly random. You have 7 days to sell all of your turnips before they become rotten. You can get a million bells easy by buying a shit ton of turnips and loading them at the store. Each person has their own personalized pricing for stalks, so we often check with friends and update each other on the prices turnips are going for. Maybe your turnips are selling for 50 but I'm selling them for 1000 a turnip. If you bought lots of turnips as an investment, say 300 turnips, you can earn a sizable amount of Bells with ease. But there's risk. For one, you can't miss out and you have to stay completely on top of the stalk market. If you invest 200k into Turnips and they go rotten you've wasted your money and you can't get it back.

When the game starts, it's just you, three Nooks, and two other animals on the island.  Nothing else is there- I'm sleeping in a tent, lol.  It's obviously gonna expand out and more people have to move in, so maybe the turnip character will pop up?

Tom Nook first says you need however many bells, then when he realizes you don't have any and there's nothing there, he changes it to "miles" earned to pay off the debt.  You have a little cell phone that you can use to look up how many miles you have for doing various things.

As said, the turnips character only comes on Sunday mornings before 12pm and if you use time to skip with turnips they will automatically go rotten.

And I'm surprised there's no gate at the outset because how else do you get there? You have to unlock the airport?

Can you time skip in this game?  I don't see that option and it has now switched to real-world time.  If you have to certain things during the day, that might be hard for me to do sometimes because I play more at night.  :lol

When the game starts, you're at the airport and after selecting your character/island, off you go.  There's a dock you come from so I assume that get used for travel.

I know almost everything there is to know about this game, AMA.

Here's some tips for the beginning game I think will help everyone:

- You can terraform almost everything eventually, but not where the rivers meet the ocean, so keep those in mind when selecting a starting island. Same for the position of the dock and the secret beach.

- You start the game in "tutorial mode," which will always be during the day. You pick where you and the other two villagers live, and then go to "sleep," "wake up," and the game will then be in real-time (at which point you will receive your NookPhone.)

- You can not go online for the entire first day you play the game. (I believe, regardless of whether the online is active or not.)

- Along with your island's natural fruit, the color of Dodo Airlines is unique and locked-in once you begin your game.

- Until you get the Resident Services building upgrade (~one week), you won't have any hourly music.

Here's some negative "spoilers" for long-term fans:

spoiler (click to show/hide)
- No Joan, Chip, or Nat -- they're fully replaced by their younger versions.
- No Kapp'n or his family
- No Rover
- No Crazy Redd, sculptures or paintings
- No wetsuits, swimming, diving, or Deep-Sea Creatures
- No Reese, Cyrus, or ReTail
- No Resetti (well, his model) or Don
- No Brewster or The Roost
- No Pete, Pelly, or Pyllis
- No Gyroids except for Lloyd on in-development projects
- 10 villager limit
[close]

This game will probably have a Splatoon 2-like update schedule though, so who knows. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Good good. Cause Idon't like being a interior/exterior designer. I don't like building Lego, Minecrafting in the digital world and so on. Just not a builder at heart. But no issue with something like a Sim Theme Park where I go "this cool thing, plop it here". But I don't actually care to design structures.

Like I don't want to design a castle. I just want a premade castle that I say "it shall go in this spot and done"

It's nothing like The Sims, but just like The Sims, if you get what I mean.

Buy it. There really is nothing like it out there.

It's basically "chill" the game.

You can play it both ways. Be an interior designer moving stuff around or just have a functional house and hunt bugs and go fishing. I like to hunt bugs and go fishing and couldn't give a shit about moving furniture around.

Yup the original game barely had any customization.

I can see why they're adding it, the progression from New Leaf to Happy Home Designer to Pocket Camp to this seems pretty clear.

But I intend to play the series like I always have, and customize little.

With that said, a big innovation ACNH is letting furniture be placed outside, which is wonderful. Animal Crossing has always had a bunch of items I would never want in my house, but could see myself placing on a lawn outside. New Horizons lets you do that, and dovetails with New Leaf's public works projects nicely. Now it's trivial to place a ton street lamps exactly where you'd like.

That sort of light customization, I could see myself dabbling in. But overall I expect to fall into similar gameplay loops as before, and prioritize finishing my house, building bridges and ramps, and filling the museum.

Yeah it really depends on your goals.

Personally I focus on making clothes, customizing my town, collecting things than customizing my house. Others like to focus on their villagers. But some love to full on interior designers (which is why Happy Camp didn't click with me). The fact you can terraform in this is a massive game changer for me, someone that likes to truly make my town "mine".

Yeah I mean I intend to customize my stuff like my look and stuff, but no more than I do like in a GTA game or in the newest Pokemon. More basic stuff where it's more about making simple choices rather than going kinda all in like one should in The Sims or Minecraft.

Anyways, appreciate the info. Cool cool.

I'm just remembering our ACNL Bore adventures. How fun they were. Hopping to someone's town, visiting the island, getting bugs... I remember coming home from work and messaging a few Best Friends and thinking "this is what I always wanted from Wild World..."

And now I'm thinking about what that'll be like in HD.

With online that doesn't crash before you can get back to your town and save.

With eight people running around in a single town instead of maxing out at four.

Yes. The first player is the Resident Representative and a lot of progress is tied to them.

If you're a parent, you should absolutely set up your account first, and then your child's after.

Which I've heard takes about a week. Kind of a bummer.

I've listened to every hourly track in NH tho and it's really good! Subtle mixes and cues from past games, along with a light, breezy island vibe for about half the tracks.

Oh that shit?

Basically there's two parts of Nook Miles, which you can redeem at the ABD for upgrades (like the Tool Ring!) or items (like fancy Nook clothing) similar to MEOW Coupons:

- Nook Miles: This is basically long-term achievements. Some are "one and done," some are multi-part and dole out Miles at increasing points (like catching more and more fish.) This also kinda mixes in Phineas and the Badge system from New Leaf. When you achieve something, it marks it with a stamp of the current date.

- Nook Miles+: Early on you also unlock the "Plus" version of Nook Miles. At any given point there will be 5 "tasks" for you to do and receive Miles for. If you complete one, another random "quest" will take its place. This is similar to the daily "quest" system of MEOW Coupons, except you can't run out, so there's always a way to make obvious forward progression in the game now.

Aside from the occasional subtle chime when you achieve something, it's basically optional as long as you can ignore the notification badge on the Nook Miles app. :P

You do need to go into it and "redeem" some things for Nook Miles early. I think it's the only way to upgrade your house the first time. (After that, it's all Bells, so Miles become truly optional.)

I'm all for playing it cool and not rushing unlocks.

But waiting for the museum to unlock is literally indefensible.

Animal crossing is ABOUT collecting. The museum is the only building in the game open 24 hours for a REASON.

This is just bad game design. Padding out crucial, basic features is not "chill". It's stupid and slow.

The museum not being open would be a problem if:

1. placing things outside wasn't a thing, basically unlimited storage
2. you have nearly unlimited storage in your house

I believe before you get bottlenecked you end up donating ~20 items to the museum anyways. How much unique things are you catching day one? I mean, I've gone way over that already, but I'm an obsessive-compulsive freak and I knew what I was getting into.

In the first Animal Crossing you had to mail out the fossils before they could be identified and the whole process could take like 1-3 days before you realized you've already donated it. For whatever you can fault the new system, the QoL enhancements in all the subsystems like storage seem to make up for it IMO. YMMV I suppose.

For the record in terms of starting island, I wouldn't recommend maps with both rivers exiting at the south end. I feel like at least one should exit east or west, otherwise running along the beach could be annoying.

Beyond that I didn't really sweat my choice.

I'm really not sure how you could say Animal Crossing is "about" collecting. They haven't changed or deepened the collection aspects of the game since the series started, and they've only cut down on the types of things that fill out the museum.

If you look at the improvements and changes they have made since the original game, they have largely fallen into two categories
-increasing granularity of cosmetic customization
-increasing speed at which you obtain and/or utilize said customization options, whether that's totally overhauling house decoration or cutting down wait times to nothing

Everything else has been pretty much the same. There's pretty obviously one specific type of player that they're catering to, I doubt fish/bug completionists are their highest priority. Game's about peacocking yo

It's still stupid.

This isn't a QoL. It's hiding important content behind a wall. What's next? Waiting a week for a fishing pole?

Locking the museum of all things behind content is poor. There's no way you convince me otherwise and bringing up mailing fossils is a complete red herring to me.

I don't see how animal crossing isn't about collecting. You have multiple sets of literally everything. Catalogs, drawers and drawers to fit things in, entire enyclopedias full of found items. Fishing pole, shovel, axe, slingshot upgrades are directly tied to gaining and finding new stuff. This is the equivalent of saying Diablo isn't about loot. Being able to fish but not being able to turn it into for recording is asinine.

Even the collecting is tied to the customization because you must collect to customize. People do everything for set completing.

Your post shows a tremendous lack of understanding about animal crossings entire game design philosophy. Everything is tied to collecting and finding new things to add to the pile. It's why shops change out items daily. It's why you go see KK: to get a record. To collect.

Gonna wake up tomorrow to my house expansion, the full museum, and Nook's Cranny all built.

Took about five Mystery Tours fwiw. :whew My island is pretty tapped right now. :lol

And no, I didn't time travel... In the meantime of the museum not being built I've been shoving things into my storage. Same with clothes I won't wear (yet?) and furniture I don't want to display.

Unfortunately my giant interview really drained me, plus finishing up everything I wanted to, so can't go online like I thought. :'( Will be available all day tomorrow! Probably have my gates open all day. The rest of y'all should have your Dodo Airlines open tomorrow too. 8)

What is the “secret beach?”

A bit of tiny beach on the northern edge of the island, usually inaccessible until you get terraforming and bulldoze your way to access.

Mine is exactly as you have recommended against but I’ve gotten good at switching to the vaulting pole quickly lol 

Lol it's cool, would be boring if everyone had the same type of island! I look forward to visiting. :)

I threw shade.

(https://i.imgur.com/EJcCDEB.jpg)

I fished.

(https://i.imgur.com/IayOIZk.jpg)

I donated to the Museum through Tom.

(https://i.imgur.com/B132USm.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/DcexWXZ.jpg)

I styled on my animals because they're ugly and terrible (I hate them).

(https://i.imgur.com/8SILjjd.jpg)

I made every tool except the shovel.

Impressions:

- It's fun, in a way.

- They have game-ified Animal Crossing and tossed its prior zen focus into the garbage. In previous Animal Crossing games you get a bill and it's up to you how to pay for it. Maybe you like fishing. Or selling fossils, or fruit. Maybe you have a preference for bug catching. The crux is that the onus is on you the player. Animal Crossing, previously, was about making your own fun and ticking the games boxes in your own way. Now, with the introduction of Nook Miles, you go through lists of things to do. In the past there were badges, which gave you quasi goals to strive for, but they were always in the periphery and not the main meat. In NH you have to fulfill requirements to get points to add to your Nook Miles. It feels like going through a list of things to do. Lists. In Animal Crossing. Disgusting. Eventually I ran into a problem where I barely had 5000 Miles but didn't know what else I could possibly do so I went through list to fulfill goals. This essentially turns Animal Crossing, a game about routine and zen, into a game about checking off boxes.

- Furthermore, so much of it is lazy mobile game tier crap too. Stuff like,"earn points by taking a picture of yourself!" that you would find in some crappy ass free to play mobile "strategy" game where you upgrade a single base and shoot from level 3 to 4. Vapid crap like that. They have essentially listened to the people that bitched for years about how Animal Crossing isn't a "real" game, which is truly baffling. In many ways, it feels more like a warped version of Minecraft than Animal Crossing.

- I like DIY. I also like that tools break easily. It means you'll be using currency in a meaningful manner regularly, it'll also force you to interact with the world more to seek supplies. It definitely makes me want to upgrade my tools to at least silver immediately.

- All these weeds. I like that. I love cleaning my towns and I cleaned up at least 300 weeds today alone. What's cool is that you can sell them for lots of cash. My aspergers and OCD went into full zen mode picking up the weeds. If I saw them and couldn't reach them, I picked em.

- Animal Crossing with vibration yessss.

- I upgraded my tent with the 5000 Nook Miles, sent 5-6 samples to Blathers and now I'm fishing late at night with classic Animal Crossing fun to see what I can get to add to my collection.

- I dislike the island motif already. I miss the post office. I miss the shops. My island is so empty. I know the point is to work your way up, but fuck. It's. So. Empty.

All in all, it was a bad first impression though. In many ways it goes against why I love Animal Crossing in the first place. This game could go either way. This first day didn't fill me with the glee that New Leaf or Wild World did. This game could go City Folk status :trash Time will tell. I can't believe I went in with the bare minimum given that I didn't follow this game at all pre-release, and that I'm still disappointed. I really hope it gets better.

I'm all for playing it cool and not rushing unlocks.

But waiting for the museum to unlock is literally indefensible.

Animal crossing is ABOUT collecting. The museum is the only building in the game open 24 hours for a REASON.

This is just bad game design. Padding out crucial, basic features is not "chill". It's stupid and slow.

Skip. This is coming from someone that never time travels.

It only takes a single day to get Blathers. You can start donating to him in his tent right away. Museum should be up tomorrow for me.

Cindi's disappointment is kinda re-affirming to me that it was the right decision to spoil the shit out of myself as much as possible.

I've also been a hardline AC purist at times but I also realized that I *do* like change in the series, it just takes time for it to sink in and for me to adapt my AC playstyles around it. I clearly remember that being the case for New Leaf.

"Ewwww the legs and arms are all stretched out? Looks more like Slenderman than Animal Crossing. Glad Smash is keeping the classic design."

"ReTail? WTF is this shit? Why do I have to choose where to sell stuff? Is Nookington's or whatever completely gone?"

"WTF? NOTHING on Main Street is open your first day? The only thing open is the museum? It takes WHAT to unlock Shampoodle and the Dream Suit?"

"Wow, they completely broke the Animal Crossing economy with the island and bugs. Clearly just to appeal casuals who want to unlock shit as quick as possible."


































Then I played New Leaf for over 200 hours and I can tell you I love the game, and it's my second favorite in the series. Just wanna say with Animal Crossing you need to think long-term. New Leaf taught me a lot of lessons like that lol.

Also by spoiling myself I let myself come to grips with all the changes and now I'm hitting the ground running. What's important to me is that at a certain point it becomes the classic AC experience just with more freedom and customization. And New Leaf took like a month to unlock everything so I'm expecting and comfortable with a similar timescale for New Horizons.

Pleased to say that today was really relaxing, traditional Animal Crossing fun.

DIY is a great feature that enhances Animal Crossing's strengths. Blathers gave me a recipe for a pole vault and now I can explore just about the whole island.

(https://i.imgur.com/NmZLK1r.jpg)

I fell into my routine of cleaning my town, checking every stone, fishing, and just maintaining. There is so much to do. The crafting adds an additional layer to your every day routine.  Being able to farm wood from trees itself adds a new routine because of wood being commonly used in recipes. Now, not only do you need to shake every tree, you need to slightly chop every tree for more supplies. More things to add to the Animal Crossing zen!

Met Gulliver and found him his parts, upgrade Blathers to a full museum. Got most of Tom's shop upgrade requirement.

Speaking of Blathers, he's got so much personality as usual.

(https://i.imgur.com/sTnu90P.jpg)

The Nooks bore me (as usual) but seeing a friendly face is nice. I'm not fond of my town villagers AT ALL right now and want to replace them ASAP. Nook Miles are easily avoidable past the (horrific) first day, thankfully.

(https://i.imgur.com/knOh9Oe.jpg)

End of a nice, peaceful session. Ended my play sesh with a smile on my face.

Oh, and Mom sent peaches!

Yeah that's what I said earlier, outside your first home upgrade Nook Miles are basically totally optional. (Though I would recommend the Tool Ring and the various other upgrades too before writing them off completely.)

In my head I just think of them as an additional currency to Bells. I've bought some trendy looking Nook Inc clothing with Miles and have even more on the way. :3

But yeah the game itself is Animal Crossing as it's always been, just with a longer opening tutorial.

Post by: Himu on March 21, 2020, 02:55:25 PM
I've decided to ignore Miles entirely while play.

So far they feel like a downgrade of New Leaf's great badge system to me with a currency thrown on top. But it seems actual utility is hidden behind them so at the end of each play session I've decided to check in and get my points and unlocks to see what I recouped from the play sesh.

My session was about 2 hours. My usual, average morning Animal Crossing run is like 30 minutes to an hour. I'm very pleased. I still haven't shaken my trees yet or fully weeded my entire town, which I will do tonight.

Ah, the feel of Animal Crossing. The pleasing feeling of not having to rush through and a play session being what you personally make of it.

And I saw an option to already change the trees?? What is this?

I keep coming back to Miles+ being a lot like MEOW coupons, just with more utility (Mystery Tours instead of Campground items.) And they're infinite now instead of 2-per-day/2-per-week. And like I did with MEOW coupons, I'll eventually end up ignoring them after I've got my town settled the way I like.

Regular Miles are seemingly a replacement for the badge system yeah. Not sure it's better or worse. The badge system felt more Animal Crossing-y, and I liked the consistent bronze-silver-gold progression. I got eight gold badges in NL and they're some of my proudest achievements in gaming. I'm not sure the Miles "postcards"(?) offer the same feeling, but I suppose it hasn't been long enough for me to know for sure... And seeing Phineas pop up and wander around my town always gave me a rush of excitement. "OMG I earned something!" The NookPhone chime just isn't the same.

Something I do think is a straight improvement is the multi-part achievements letting you clearly know the goal you just accomplished and how close you are (in real time!) to the next one (like the fishing streak quest.) I hated the guessing game on some of the badges (like the catalog.)

There were 24 badges in NL, and there's 81 Miles "postcards" in NH for comparison. But some in NH are one-offs and some are five-parters. I think having more things to do long-term means you're accomplishing things and making obvious forward progress more often. That's what I'm hoping anyways! :) I believe I'm up to the challenge of tackling these things. 😤

I have to be honest though, I liked the semi-educational quiz he did in NL better than finding five phone parts. And the "prize" he mailed usually corresponded to the answer of the quiz, which felt good and reinforced the lesson (thinking of the young'uns.) But ah well, smartphones! :P

Yeah I dug up a whole tree (!). So I'm supposed to take it to our favorite Trash Panda capitalist?

Speaking of Tom Nook, I miss Isabelle :tocry :brazilcry Being greeted by Tom is crippling after the cuteness of Isabelle.

Man everyone has this game. I really dont want to get it because I will really play it for maybe a week then not care to tend to my sim town. But peer pressure.

I haven't ever seen as many of my friends all get a game like this. Well, one that I'm able to play as well. :P

I'm only about ~80% sure but I believe in NH bulbs and stems are treated separately; bulbs/petals might fall off but the stem will remain intact and the bulb/petals will grow back. I've also heard that flowers in general are just more resilient to running and don't crumble after just a few rushes.

So very little negatives to running around now. :) Fixes one of my main complaints after Wild World.

My gate is open.

For newbies, we don't run in villages because AC uses the principles of Wabi Sabi, or imperamance. Basically, grass deteriorates if you run on it a lot. So most just walk. Since your town looks likes shit if you kill it. It's why the walk speed is so fast now.

While this was the case in City Folk and New Leaf, it's not the case in New Horizons. You also get the ability to pave roads and grass alongside terraforming later on.

I dinged on Wild World despite it not having grass deterioration because I think it was the game to make flowers fragile as shit. :maf

It works like ACNL. You can open your gate to anyone on your system friends list. Then once you meet them you can register each other as best friends, which is the "in-game" friends list. I think. But keep in mind best friends can "edit" your town, where as normies can't (I guess.)

It does. Often in new leaf and wild world people would leave their gates open, close their DS, and go back to work. This gives lots of flexibility and reduces battery use. At least we know the games limitations in this regard, rumbler.

Give it a week. Even for animal crossing it's slow because you're starting from literally scratch. Animal Crossing is a slow burn but this is the slowest burn yet. Usually there's a few buildings and more to do. Next week will be better.

I stupidly set up the shop across a river and it's been a pain in the ass polevaulting over every time. :lol But hot damn, my first bridge option. :D Tomorrow is gonna be lit.

Would have paid off my house expansion today too but the shop closed early... one of the perpetual downsides of upgrading it, as always. :P

Got apples from Rumbler.

Weeded my entire village besides the cliffs.

Bought lots of stuff such as a super fashionable and topical doctor mask! Also really like the use of Nook Miles as a shopping currency! Had enough to upgrade my tool belt AND get a tool strength upgrade! :hyper

Went to Nook's Island and found cool fish and finally a cool villager. Asked him to come to stay at my town!

Stones: get shovel. Go behind the fat side of the stone. Hit it as many times as possible. Also, go to Nook's island. He has lots of ore and even more than iron nuggets such as gold nuggets. I'll make a video to explain how to shovel stones.

You get one free ticket. Tickets normally cost 2k nook miles. You can buy at the green panel at the nook store. Just go to miles redeem store. To claim your free ticket go to the airport and talk to the Dodo. Say you wanna fly and use the ticket. You will meet an animal there. if you like them tell them to join your village and build a house there. There's lots of stones, palm trees (plant the coconuts to grow them on your own island),  and more rare fish on Nook's island.

Edit: town is still so empty and the elephant I met hasn't started to move yet.

Dig two holes a space above the rock and stand in front of them so you don’t get knocked back and you can get more outta them, and then redeem miles for tickets, more rocks on other islands. Also, eat a fruit and hit the rock again and it will smash open giving you a lil more

How has cats progressed so much so fast? My villagers haven't even made houses yet, just tents.

In the ~six hours from game unlock (midnight) to the "official" in-game start of March 20th (6am), it was basically like an extra day. If you did absolutely everything possible in that period then you're basically a day ahead.

I was shocked when I ran by Dom's new house. :o

Sent request. Do you know about the friend system in AC? Friending will let you chat across towns. So we can have a mass group chat going.

I need to dl the switch app to my phone. Friend told me last night they were typing from the switch app to the game so they didn't have to use the damn game keyboard which is a chore without a stylus.

Guys how do use emotes like in NL

If you talk to a villager enough they'll teach you your first 4 and how to bring up the emote wheel (Zr.) From then on if you level up your friendship enough then the corresponding villager will teach you a new one.

New Leaf had 40 emotes for the record (I got them all!)

Go to the island with the ticket and you'll find more there. Remember the hole trick and you'll mine 9 items from one rock.

You get one free ticket. Tickets normally cost 2k nook miles. You can buy at the green panel at the nook store. Just go to miles redeem store. To claim your free ticket go to the airport and talk to the Dodo. Say you wanna fly and use the ticket. You will meet an animal there. if you like them tell them to join your village and build a house there. There's lots of stones, palm trees (plant the coconuts to grow them on your own island),  and more rare fish on Nook's island.

Edit: town is still so empty and the elephant I met hasn't started to move yet.

That was really helpful, I thought the Nook ticket was just to visit someone online so hadn't used it yet :)

This is a great way of making cash and finding resources etc (and cuddly friends)

Plant. If you plant you grow your own cherries. Then you can sell a lot more cherries than what you have now. Foreign fruit sells more than native fruit so you now have a continual Bell booster and routine source of money.

Ahh fyi there's 44 total emotes (press Y after pressing Zr.) What I liked about the New Leaf system is there was a consistent way to get them... play 40 days in a row and give Shrunk a fruit. The new system is less obvious, which should actually please AC diehards, but I kinda want all emotes as quick as possible lol. Online was a big incentive for me to unlock as many as I could.

Yeah ocean fish are the bees knees. Haven't gotten an oarfish yet though. Yeah I remember the wood bucket thing at your store and didn't know what it meant. Thought it meant it was on sale. Guess you have to make it and then sell it. That's cool.

Those orange man-faced stink bugs are 1k bells each 👀

2nd and 3rd levels have a lot of flowers with them too. Though the garden outside my house is coming in nicely. :3

But yeah like Spencer I mostly fished, hard to beat red snappers. My new northern room will be useful to hoard turnips.

Ah protip the Miles cards for donated fish/bugs/fossils tells you how many you've donated/assessed. I was a bit out of sorts since the Museum usually has a title plaque showing what's been donated and I couldn't find it. Yesterday I stupidly ran around to each of the signs and counted my donations manually. 😬

But having them in the Nook Miles app you can pull up everywhere is a bit better. Also I love the Critterpedia in this game!

Nook has me setting up three houses and I just built my first bridge.

The bridge and Museum instantly improve the game and start making it feel a lot more like an AC game. I knew exactly where I wanted my bridge to go too (I stupidly put Nook's Cranny across a river!) No longer an issue. :)

That video is mainly kidding, but there is a lot of it that is kinda true. There is a lot to love and it is probably one of the best games on the Switch, but it's really divisive and there is a chance you don't like it. Resale value will be very high for a while, just get retail and if you don't vibe can sell with minimal loss. If you end up liking it you'll get hundreds of hours in.

I actually really like it, haven't dug too many since the original.

Animal Crossing is a chill game about routine and collecting things. You want to keep your town and villagers happy while continually growing it. There's really nothing like it except Harvest Moon or Shenmue.

Watch this video. It's quite long though, 16 minutes.

I can't really explain the appeal of Animal Crossing very well, personally. I tell everyone who's curious to give it a try. The series shares little DNA with pretty much every other game in its designated genre, so it's hard for me to say "if you like X, you'll like Animal Crossing." The games can be divisive (Triumph has been mercifully silent on all things AC these past few years... 😬), but honestly the best way to find out if you like it is to try it.

Have to compliment the addition of the shop drop box. It's genius. I haven't had time to play since this morning when all I did was talk to nook, place my bridge, and turn in my items to Blathers. I'm working tonight, so by the time I get home the shop should be closed. Because I've been busy I haven't even had the opportunity to do my daily pruning routine - shaking trees, digging holes, hitting rocks. But because of the drop box I can do my errands and put what I want to sell in the drop box. One complaint I've always had about AC is that if you miss a shop closing and still want to sell you either have to travel to a friend's town or wait till morning to do something as simple selling which results in an annoying over filled inventory which makes play tedious. This is such a life saving option. A+ solution.

13k Miles and nothing to spend them on :P

The ABD maxes out at 5 each for Nook Shopping and redeeming Nook Miles for items per day :maf

I'll probably order the last pieces of the Nook Inc collection tomorrow tho.

After that it seems like for now I just have fence recipes to look forward to (in addition to Mystery Tour tickets), but I have to imagine that'll change. I already know you can upgrade your inventory one more time (four rows) at some point, and that'll definitely cost a lot of Miles I imagine. After that... maybe bridges and ramps use Miles?

You can hit rocks with shovels (or axes) and iron is one of the more uncommon resources to pop out, but it's also used in a lot of key crafting recipes so it's kinda the most important resource (I think, so far, maybe.)

You can hit rocks with shovels (or axes) and iron is one of the more uncommon resources to pop out, but it's also used in a lot of key crafting recipes so it's kinda the most important resource (I think, so far, maybe.)

Yeah, it’s definitely not a child account :-/ hmm.  Maybe I have to send a friend code first.

Have to compliment the addition of the shop drop box. It's genius. I haven't had time to play since this morning when all I did was talk to nook, place my bridge, and turn in my items to Blathers. I'm working tonight, so by the time I get home the shop should be closed. Because I've been busy I haven't even had the opportunity to do my daily pruning routine - shaking trees, digging holes, hitting rocks. But because of the drop box I can do my errands and put what I want to sell in the drop box. One complaint I've always had about AC is that if you miss a shop closing and still want to sell you either have to travel to a friend's town or wait till morning to do something as simple selling which results in an annoying over filled inventory which makes play tedious. This is such a life saving option. A+ solution.

Yeah it's great! And it's something I agree the series could have used before. Unfortunately the 20% tax and late delivery of bells (next morning) decrease its usefulness to me... That said, I do like that, it's good game design to have a trade off such as that, forcing players to choose between waiting and being hasty.

(With that said, New Leaf had a similar semi-workaround with ReTail and the Night Owl Ordinance, I think it would stay open until 2am and also buy your things at a discount from what Nook's store would. The drop box is way better though.)

Oh man, when donating things at the museum, only the things that you haven't donated are available to select. No more wasting time with Blathers telling you that you've already donated!!!

This was actually in New Leaf too. :P

Them cutting ramps whenever it was convenient makes a bit more sense now... ramps must have been a bitch to generate. Now they just let the player decide, and give them BotW-like tools for traversing the entire environment. A lot of game design systems are synergizing really well in this game.

TASTY PROTIP: Get rid of unwanted fruit energy by using the toilet, lol. My outdoor one is so useful now!

TASTY PROTIP: Pressing down on the right analog stick on the Nook Miles screen will auto-scroll you to whatever "new" achievement you just unlocked.

TASTY PROTIP: Your native fruit sells at non-native prices on other islands! And vice-versa for any friends you host.

Oh! One more suggestion: ability to view the passports of your friends list! This was a fun feature in New Leaf, and you could even check what badges your friends had achieved. Seems like there's no corresponding way to see a friend's "profile" in New Horizons.

TASTY PROTIP: You can view passports! You have to be in the same town at the same time, but press Minus and there should be a "View passports" button. :D

This game is *already* extremely close to what I imagined an ideal online Animal Crossing would be like. Like back before we knew what City Folk would be and people were actually asking Eguchi about Animal Crossing for Revolution possibly being an MMO... I mean obviously this isn't an MMO, but if everyone were to register as best friend's, it's not far off from some other online-focused community games...

If they bring back the Dream Suite it's truly a done deal.

Is there any reason to have normie trees vs fruit trees? Can I just replace them all?

Well, those Bore ACNL vets will know I made a massive fruit orchard in New Leaf. I had like every fruit in the game in a massive row of trees that took up a quarter of the map. There's no real benefit to doing this. For one, chopping wood is a basic game requirement for DIY and more. When you hit fruit trees with an axe the fruit fall. So any time you want to farm wood you'll have fruit fall on the ground, which will force you to put the fruit in your pockets. And you'll have to pick them up anyways because fruit on the ground rots and it will be considered trash. Your village rating will go down. Tedious work. Think long term and just keep regular trees.

That fruit orchard? Well, spoil alert, a lot of it eventually rotted.

I've been eating my Turnips  :six:

The internet told me prices stayed below 200  :rage

:lol You got trolled. Turnips are the key to the mansion, breh.

Expounding. Let's say you have a million bells and you buy a million bells worth of turnips.

Assuming you bought them at a solid price of 80 bells per turnip, that's a lot of turnips. So then your friend is selling for the amount you said: 200.

Multiply a million bells worth of turnips times 200 per turnip when you bought them for 80 a turnip.

And that's at 200. It often goes up to 500-600.

Whoever told you this is either a moron, doesn't know how to game Animal Crossing, or trolled you. There's a reason we post the prices lol

Knock on wood but this is already WAY more stable than New Leaf. I remember getting a bunch of bugs on someone's island in New Leaf (BN? Cindi? maybe someone else) but then the online glitched and the game crashed and I lost everything. Still could happen here, but I have literally had zero problems outside that first time I tried going online and letting Cindi come buy turnips.

It still beats walking up and down randomly. My friend made me a Bait Convert. 🙏🏻

Especially for something like the Stringfish which can only be caught on "cliff rivers," and I have only one of those, and it's VERY short at that. Bait basically makes it possible for me to catch a Stringfish where as it would be soooooo difficult without it.

Amazing, productive day of Animal Crossing: New Horizons!

- Paid off my debt via turnips sold at Joe's
- Accrued over 70k in bells from the fish and critters I've caught
- Learned an early game money making trick (man face stink bugs which come out around 11-12 pm make BANK and are VERY common, much more reliable than fishing)
- Harvey came over
- Finished all three villagers houses
- Decorated my own house
- Planted all fruit, including coconuts
- Weeded my entire island. It's now as clean as a whistle

Beezy don't plant coconuts too close to the beach edge. They'll die if you do. Same goes for other trees. Look at the distance between trees when planting. If you plant wrong you can lose a valuable fruit.

Btw Lager whatever way you signed off soft-crashed my and Dickie's session, everything we did while you were over got wiped out. :(

In fact your internet seemed a little flaky in general, it took two "tries" before a successful attempt to come to my island, and similarly there were two "tries" before the session soft-crashed.

When it crashed it said "A player you were with just left silently..." or something like that, and then Dickie and I walked out of the airport. I saw all the trees we had shaken still had apples and yup, soft crash. :(

If we could figure out what caused it we can tell other players and prevent it from potentially becoming widespread.

I mean I kinda assumed it's cause you're a continent away during a global bandwidth shortage. It could also be my internet. But I've been online about ~20 times and that was the only issues I've had except for the first day...

In any case, you're frustrated. I get that. I'm also frustrated. Sleep mode was even handled better in the previous 3DS game.

As a partial solution, I believe you should be able to leave someone's island at any time by pressing the Minus button and selecting it from the menu.

Confirmed:

Minus -> Return to my island

Instantly starts the return process when you're on someone's island. I believe the option is "End session" or similar if you're hosting other people.

So I've played a couple nights for like 30-40 mins and have a fishing rod and net and 2 people on an island and all I can do is catch bugs, try to catch fish (I need a fishing guide I don't understand how the fishing mini-game works here and haven't caught anything) and pick up some stuff. Oh and I just made an axe so I can craft more. Meanwhile have about 1700 nook points and need 5000 to advance I guess?

Since this is my first AC game:

-Is the game progression loop just "here is how many nook points you need to advance to the next stage which opens up more gameplay to do" -> "do what you can do daily to save up and turn in until you hit the nook points goal" -> repeat back to the start part?

-Has AC always mostly been a crafting game where you go and get mats and craft stuff? Not a big fan of the survival crafting genre, so dunno how long I'll stick with this.

"Talking" via the keyboard/Zr is purely for multiplayer.

The town message board could, based on past entries, have official announcements "written by" Nook/Isabelle/etc., but it's rare one of the villagers writes on it. (Not even sure they could in New Leaf; in GameCube they'd post stuff like "Buried a treasure in acre B2.") That said, I think it's possible that when interacting with your villagers, they bring up something posted on the message board.

"Chatting" to villagers (walking up to them and pressing A), and then choosing various dialog options is the primary interaction method with AI villagers.

However, you can send them postcards, and there is a text analysis algorithm on letters sent to villagers. If you fill a letter with "happy" words, the villager will like it, but if there are a lot of "bad" words, the villager might take it negatively. They'll also react to presents you get them, and write you their own postcards. Postcards you write might be presented by that villager to real people visiting your village, so be careful what you write! :3

Fishing:

never look at the fish.

Listen to the sound. Either close your eyes or look at your character or some random thing like a tree or a villager and listen to the bobs. Watching the fish will always give anxiety, even to me - a vet - and make you prematurely pull the reel in anticipation. Just listen instead. When catching sharks in NL and other games I would just close my eyes and listen for the pull on the reel and treat it like some meditation game.

-Is the game progression loop just "here is how many nook points you need to advance to the next stage which opens up more gameplay to do" -> "do what you can do daily to save up and turn in until you hit the nook points goal" -> repeat back to the start part?

Early part of the game is very Nook Miles-centric. Basically what they did is make the first week or so a tutorial with 2-3 different segments gated by Nook Miles. Eventually, once you have all your houses built and Resident Services upgraded, it becomes a "normal" AC game with some tweaks.

The game loop at that point is gain bells and Miles, and convert those into the various goals you've given yourself to accomplish. For me this is upgrading my house by paying my mortgage, buying new furniture sets and things to craft to customize my house and island, and build various expensive public works such as bridges and ramps. The museum is also a gameplay loop unto itself.

-Has AC always mostly been a crafting game where you go and get mats and craft stuff? Not a big fan of the survival crafting genre, so dunno how long I'll stick with this.

No, it's new to this game. However, the rationalization given in an interview the developers gave in the Washington Post makes sense. Basically, since AC is real-time, and shops close for the night, people who played later (or early before the shops opened) were kinda screwed. The last game had a bandaid solution, but by introducing crafting, players can create their own tools and furniture without the need for a shop. They can gather resources on their own island, or spend Nook Miles to scavenge them elsewhere. And if a player doesn't have Nook Miles, there's a bottomless series of tasks that can be grinded for them.

Where as past Animal Crossing games truly did run out of things to do after a certain point, that doesn't seem to be the case here. It's still open-ended, you're defining your own goals, but you're never lacking for clear progression either. I'd suggest sticking with it, as crafting does get slightly more optional (if you want it to) after a certain point, and while I was a crafting skeptic too, I've been convinced by the implementation here.

Yup. The Nintendo Switch Online smartphone app has a new ACNH zone, and it has a QR code scanner that will let you import New Leaf and Happy Home Designer (and acpatterns.com...) custom patterns. :D You can then download it into your game by pressing Plus inside the Custom Designs app.

New Horizons is sorely missing a multiplayer feature like the island in New Leaf.

Bore gang AC nights were so fun in NL. The island is fantastic for multiplayer. NH's multiplayer is far more limited in comparison. There's not much to do but go to peoples islands. You can't do mystery tours with your buds or go to some island and catch bugs and fish sharks with the clique which is very much a bummer.

Other people locally or otherwise? It depends on how frustrated you get with some of the early-stage gating the game does. For instance, if you were to meet up with online friends, you could jumpstart the types of fruit your island grows (good for making bells), get you tools early you might not have access to, or have items you want to buy for your house.

But playing totally solo is fine if you're willing to take things slower.

Later on when everyone has the same stuff unlocked and have been playing the game for a while, that's probably the time people will be showing off their super cool islands and whatnot.

And should I go in blin or is it better to read up on stuff?

New players should go in blind, all the media so far is either about changes from past games, or commercials showing extremely late-game professionally-designed towns.

New Horizons is sorely missing a multiplayer feature like the island in New Leaf.

Bore gang AC nights were so fun in NL. The island is fantastic for multiplayer. NH's multiplayer is far more limited in comparison. There's not much to do but go to peoples islands. You can't do mystery tours with your buds or go to some island and catch bugs and fish sharks with the clique which is very much a bummer.

It's kind mind-bending because the Mystery Tours are basically Animal Crossing's version of MMO instanced dungeons... and yet there's no way to take friends. I kinda get why, maybe: mystery tours are basically resource pinatas, and they're scaled for one player, and there's not much else to do other than pick the island dry.

But for sure there should be a way to initiate a multiplayer-type tour and have everyone sit in the Dodo Airlines chairs when they're ready to join, just like on Tortimer's Island. Maybe that's why they're there? There's 8 chairs in Dodo Airlines, and they're promising regular free updates... :thinking

This has multiplayer?

How does that work?

Same Switch: someone on a different Switch profile can start the game and put their house somewhere on the island. You're still in charge of most island progression stuff, but they'll have their own house/storage/etc., and you can join each other on the same screen at any time with a second controller. The screen will follow the "leader," but the leader can be switched on the fly.

Different Switches (local wireless/online): open your gate at Dodo Airlines or choose to fly to another island. Orville will ask whether it's local or online and then you should be set. Dodo Codes will let you invite or fly to anyone who's not on your Switch's system friends list.

When someone is visiting your island this way, they can drop items on the ground, pick stuff up, fish, catch bugs, shake trees, send text chats, and a bunch of other stuff. Vice-versa when you're visiting someone else's island. You can then send or accept invitations to become a "Best Friend," and then you'll be able to use shovels and axes in each other's towns, but you'll also be able to send each other direct messages even when not in the same town at the same time (online DMs), and see when each other is online.

An example would be sending a quick "Hey you're online, can I sell fruit?" message, you open your gates, and your friend sells their fruit on your island for 5x its price on their island. Then since they're there, you two decide to go fishing together before they leave. Stuff like that is how multiplayer works in Animal Crossing. :)

Ah I just mean be careful when you're visiting someone else's island, or have someone over. In all other cases going to sleep mode should be fine, but when using local wireless or online multiplayer, it could tank the session and cause some lost progression.

If you need to stop playing multiplayer ASAP for whatever reason, hit the Minus button. It will have an option to return to your island or end the current session if you're the one hosting.

Painstakingly created my own resource map to keep track of what I'm growing. 😬 Blue fruits are a "mystery" -- I literally forgot what I buried, but I see the saplings growing. :lol They're all probably cherries and pears, since those were the two most recent types I got.

I want to have a balance of all types, evenly spread out on the first level of the island. Second and third levels will have the evergreens/non-fruit trees, except for one area I'm making all-bamboo in service of Ohana's upcoming hot spring area.  :3

Man, I grinded manila clams and created so much fishing bait tonight. I have to say, I'm not enjoying fishing in this. It's one of my favorite activities in all of the Animal Crossing's I've played (never played the first, Wild World was my first :3) but it's not fun to me in this one. I never get anything besides Bass. All of the fish I'm catching are things I've caught in the past week. Tonight I did catch a tuna and that's it. In the past it felt like fish that were rare were certainly rare but not impossible to get or find. I haven't seen a single marlin or oarfish. Then I only have three or so days to catch the stringfish. They've turned one of the most - if not THE most soothing - aspect of Animal Crossing into a total grind fest. It fucking sucks. Only real complaint now aside from the tools' shelf life. Previous games struck a better balance between being rare and rewarding to find.

I've had a good mix of rare and common fish. The distribution is always tied to the RNG, which in previous games got reset every time you entered and exited a building. So if you're getting nothing but bass, that might be something to try.

Bait is an optional mechanic that can be ignored entirely should you want the classic Animal Crossing fishing experience. Crafting could be smoother in general, but that's not an indictment of bait, which is a useful addition IMO.

Trying to catch all the fish and bugs needed before the season changed over was ALWAYS stressful in Animal Crossing (but only if you're a museum completionist.) You're either looking at waiting a year or time traveling and no one should like doing either.

Bass has always been filler. But I've never fished this much bass in animal crossing ever.


I picked northern hemisphere and regret it. The fish selection sucks balls. I went to the island last night and literally got nothing but bass. Talk about a waste of 2000 miles. I dare you to go to the island, fish, and count how many bass you get. There's bass as a filter system, as used in past games and then there's the selection you get here. Compared with the fish you'd find and get in New Leaf, the island selection is poor.

The main fish I am catching:

- dabs

- red snapper occasionally
- bass, you can always tell by the extra vibration
- football fish occasionally

It's very predictable and boring.

So far the hemisphere system sounds like a dud. I get they wanted different people to catch different things but patch this. This is terrible.

Never mind the act of grinding clams for bait. Boring and repetitive.

Combined with rods breaking.

It is objectively terrible.

Yeah sorry Cindi. :( Hopefully it changes for you soon because I'm not really seeing a difference in distribution or regularity with fish in New Horizons compared to past Animal Crossings. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I mean, I'm not catching much different from you, though I'm also fishing way more in fresh water than you apparently. I don't discriminate between rivers and the ocean, and have fleshed out my Critterpedia quite a bit with fresh water fish in the past two days.

The fish also don't seem to respawn. In the past there was a walk system where if you walked away you'd probably reload a fish. Often in the ponds/river of the cliffs there aren't even any fish that spawn even when you first arrive. I *have* to use bait to make a fish even appear.

Kinda sounds like bad luck to me, I’m sorry you’re frustrated with it, hopefully with sharks and stuff in the summer it will be better for ya

Hmm IIRC winter is the best time for fish, to make up for bugs generally sucking in the colder months.

Risked going grocery shopping yesterday so treated myself to this game. Chose a nice island with a cute heart shaped pond on a cliff that I apparently can’t get to yet. My islanders are duds though, I got Ursula who is a big gal but she doesn’t seem to like me and a monkey who keeps insulting me by calling me a rerack  >:(
 
I haven’t played an AC since GameCube. How do I get a shovel? I somehow must have missed it. I’m assuming slingshot and pole vault come later to gate things off. Saw a present on a balloon float by and I couldn’t do anything but cry

Post by: Himu on March 27, 2020, 12:14:34 PM
This thread has already slowed. In ACNL we played together pretty much every night or when we could. NH gives very little incentive to play multi beyond exchanging fruit.

I won't make any final judgements, especially without town hall complete yet, but so far my verdict on New Horizons is that it's an under cooked, rushed product. Which is shocking considering the long development time. It's good for scrstching the animal crossing itch and while it does new, interesting things with the formula it also slowed progress and pacing of the overall gameplay loop to a crawl. If you want to fish or shovel, be prepared to make a new one, repeatedly. While you can offset this by customizing and resetting your count to 0, how many times do you know you've used the tool?

I think I just achieved all of today's goals.

So far:

- no town rating score so little reason for upkeep
- The game is clearly for AC vets, not newbies. It doesn't teach AC fundamentals like keeping a town clean, keeping villagers happy. Bebpo doesn't even know you can attach gifts to letters.
- complete backslide in terms of content and variety of content from new leaf such as the lack of Tortimer Island
- the gameplay is scatter shot. Sometimes it feels like the formula has been perfected. Other times it feels like it's more tedious than you ever recall animal crossing being.
- lack of animals even after a week. Animal Crossing is known for its electic cast of characters: Resetti, that fucking bitch ass duck at the post office, Tortimer, Isabelle, KK. Animal crossing has so many cute characters to fall in love with. Why they decided to go with a deserted island with none of the tried and true animal crossing staples is beyond me. Yeah you need to work for it to get the cute here. Meanwhile in NL Isabelle greets you daily. NH is still empty as fuck.

It's a mixed bag. Still fun and scratches the itch but New Leaf it is not.

I predict players to drop off far more faster than with NL. One great thing about NL is that it always transparently gave you goals to strive forward: residents want a better town so let's build a bridge. This public work will improve production. Or keep the environment clean. No such thing in NH. Oh, we are going to upgrade the tent to a town hall. Okay. That wasn't a goal. It was just a random change.

Tbh it just makes me want to play new leaf instead. :yeshrug

Poor sequel and follow up to the game that blew Animal Crossing up tbh. I expect massive backlash in the coming weeks.

This thread today just passed the New Leaf thread's seven year total (964 posts versus 940.) It sucks you're not enjoying parts of the game, but extrapolating that to the entire fanbase in the coming weeks is a bit much. All Nintendo has to do is keep up the free updates and the already strong goodwill earned from launch (except from those in the #OneIslandPerSwitch crowd) will be perpetuated for a while yet. That's how I see things playing out anyways, who knows. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Let's replace personable characters with a generic dodo. It's like the people that made it don't even fully understand Animal Crossing's full appeal.

The most personable character in this right now is Blathers. I met his sister last night, still cute as ever, and she has personality too. I'm not sure what they were thinking making a game about not feeling lonely when moving to a new place and turning that theme into moving to a deserted island where there's literally nothing.


Mmarsu has the right of it. If you're new to Animal Crossing and want to play an Animal Crossing game I suggest getting New Leaf instead and then New Horizons in the future.

So far, the consensus is starting to form.

Still no town rating, huh? It really shows this games priorities. It's no longer about the simulation. It's about customization. But if it's less about the simulation that's a hard sell. How do I tell if my villagers are happy? Does it even matter they're happy anymore? Are these elements just a side thing to the real meat of the game: DIY and making the island yours? I'll give it one more week and if it hasn't picked up I'm dropping it.

Listen, you might get some hate for this, but you do you. But you'll have to realize like I did that not every AC game is made for every AC fan. It's something I accepted with every game after the GameCube one, but especially City Folk. In the larger Animal Crossing community, City Folk has a large share of defenders who argue the online was something special and still hasn't been replicated. But I dropped it in a similar timeframe as you're considering dropping New Horizons. It just didn't do it for me in the same ways its predecessor and successor did.

But that's fine! I took a bunch of time off from the series and ended up having low expectations for New Leaf. Thankfully, New Leaf exceeded them. You've always been welcome to go back to old ACs if the new one isn't scratching whichever specific itch you need from the newest games.

And who knows, maybe a year down the road after a dozen updates, you come back and NH is way better than you'd thought.

All I'll say is it's good to keep an open mind.

It's true but I do feel like I missed out on something not playing... There's a whole gap in my AC history. I put 200+ hours into the GC game, Wild World, and New Leaf each, but yeah, couldn't muster it for City Folk.

Difference between then and now, for me, is that CF came pretty close after WW and was basically a port with the city area bolted on. I was burnt out completing WW already, then had to restart from scratch... to top it all off, loading a disc sucked compared to WW's cartridge. On GC load times were instant and you could even pop the disc out of the system after the initial load and the game would still run. CF added a boatload of load screens to the series that weren't there before and it made booting it up for the daily loop a chore.

I also hated the UI of City Folk. The HUD clock was skeuomorphic garbage. But they added the holidays back and apparently nailed the online. Like I said, I wish I could have stuck with it more.

The main fish I am catching:

- dabs
- olive flounder
- red snapper occasionally
- bass, you can always tell by the extra vibration
- football fish occasionally

It's very predictable and boring.

So far the hemisphere system sounds like a dud. I get they wanted different people to catch different things but patch this. This is terrible.

Never mind the act of grinding clams for bait. Boring and repetitive.

Combined with rods breaking.

It is objectively terrible.
No way. The hemisphere system is the best thing they have done bar none. Do you know how frustrating it's always been to have the weather in reverse? Christmas is in summer here, but my animal crossing village is snowing, no thanks. It also means I can visit someone in the northern hemisphere to catch the fish and insects that I missed instead of waiting 12 months or time traveling.

Like a lot of things in NH, even the town rating, which is as basic as it gets when it comes to animal crossing, is also delayed.

Nah it was cool to see uncensored human genitalia in a Nintendo game. Also Redd was a fun character even if he could be infuriating, that sleazy raccoon fuck. ...I just did it again :I

Figured out that even though I'm safe for March ending, it's still possible for me to catch these uncaught fish:

spoiler (click to show/hide)
- Barreleye (ocean)
- Blue Marlin (pier)
- Coelacanth :stahp (rainy ocean)
- Pop-eyed Goldfish (pond)
- Ranchu Goldfish (pond)
- Tuna (pier)
[close]

I catch these and I should be good. 8)

Online despite being barebones is holding up great and I'm having a lot of fun registering best friends, messaging online people in-game (it's fun in a tomagatchy-esque 90s-era texting simulation way), opening my gate and getting people over or flying to people's islands and seeing just how diverse in playstyles and layouts everyone's been doing things.

Last night spent half an hour in my niece's town getting wowed at her feats, until I realized her time traveling friends helped her... Then she came over to my island for an hour while I hunted stringfish.

This morning I log on and Dickie wants to know if he can sell his fruit on Ohana, and of course I say yes. We meet up and he gives me the perfect item to further develop my hot spring area.

A guy on another forum who I've known for years and is a GC diehard, though he played NL, popped over to check my shop out and get the Ohana Isle tour. Had a lot of fun showing him things and blathering on about my plans for everything. :D

Where as about 30% of online New Leaf 3DS sessions for me would die and soft crash, I haven't had any issues in normal play with NH's online. Hopefully an update adds multiplater tours, because otherwise it's a very fun, smooth time.

I made these in New Leaf. I just imported them to New Horizons. All of them except the yukata don't transfer well to NH. The yukata is still :delicious though.

Feel free to remake them for New Horizons if you will, because you can't edit them.

None of you play as girls but whatever. Take the pattern for the yukata and share with your girl friends.

Final goodbye to my character lol. She looked cute in the end.

I don't think you can transfer fish and bugs. It doesn't let you sit them down when other people are on your island, and you can't send them through the mail.

That would track with past games, but it really seemed like you could throw the "minimized" version down and have a friend pick it up.

Maybe I'm wrong, that would preserve the balance from past games, but I assumed we'd have the freedom to exchange bugs and fish in ACNH.

I started with oranges on my island which is fitting since I’m from Florida, but I was a little bummed I didn’t get peaches like I had on GameCube. But today “mom” sent me peaches.  :-[

Blathers gave me a shovel, was kind of surprised such a basic tool was saved until late. I think I have all tools now except ladder. Excited to see what the finished museum will look like tomorrow.

Was stung by wasps three times today. Will be on the watch for them tomorrow.

This game must think I’m a weeb because I’ve shot down two gifts out of the sky, one was a rice cooker and the other an Imperial Bed. The bed is massive, I left my villager sleeping in luxury when I quit.

Hah I thought the same thing, there's actually QR codes going around of the ACNH official renders if you want lol.

But I'm gonna rely on my map. PROTIP that I just realized today: by shoveling trees you can tell what they are even without fruit, so if you accidentally dig up a fruit tree, you can plant it right back. I'm removing all my non-fruit trees on the first level.

Making the tree types based on elevation was a brilliant move by the ACNH devs. I now don't want to immediately remove all my evergreens. I'll just keep them segmented on their own level away from the fruit. :D

I don't remember that being the case in GC and WW. Maybe it was something in NL?

But yeah takes a bit of fun out of harvest time. It's a 5x return sure, but on a possibly 2x timescale... Worth it but not as good as 1x (3 days.)

Figured out since I don’t want to have to make more than one trip to anyone to sell for stonks, I only need enough bells to afford 4000 turnips, so, like 380,000. I think I can put that together by noon tomorrow, no problem. Already have ~270k rn

No, Cindy :( Your enthusiasm partly hyped me for this game. But it is what it is. I'm always for shelving/selling games if you don't enjoy them. No point in forcing yourselves to do something you're meant to enjoy.

Anyways it seems nice and relaxing, although it seems there is little do do besides catching bugs and fish in the beginning? I guess it will ramp up after some time.

What sucks a bit is that the game is always synchronized to the system clock. I always play at night so my island is always at night. I feel like a weirdo to run errants while everybody else is chilling  :-[ I know that I can change the system time, but that feels like cheating a bit. Although I guess this is a series staples and it probably is pretty cool to check the game out at various times of the day, if you have the time to do that. I guess I'll have to get used to occasionally changing the system time. Won't change the date though. Are there any negative side effects to manipulating the clock?

Nope. My general strategy in every AC game is to blindly donate everything possible, and selling the rest... In NL using this method, I completed the fossil collection at the museum after about two months.

Go to the nook shopping catalog menu and choose the wallpaper and other option. Should show all the fossils you had in your inventory. I don’t think it indicates whether you donated or not, but I’m assuming you donate everything new immediately so it shouldn’t be an issue.

Lol even if I were to totally implement my fruit tree plan AND everything were to turn over at the same time, I'd make less on a haul of fruit than half of what I came up with grinding in the last 1.5 days for turnips. :lol Yeah fruit kinda ain't shit.

Guys I got a little too high and I just gotta say, I love this moment. Animal Crossing has always meant a lot to me (maybe I'll tell the story some day) and seeing a game in the series come out and meet all my expectations, and see so many of my friends play it, means so much.  :tocry

And I know this moment won't last, that I'll be looking back at this time a year down the line, or six years, and remembering all these online adventures and struggles to build the best islands possible, and how I met up with over a dozen different AC players in more than 50+ online sessions, and we played the fuck out of the game and helped each other and played together.

Again, I'm too high, but I dread the time a year from now when I'm playing every day, or couple days, checking in, and never seeing anyone on my friends list online... the fact everyone is online all the time right now is fucking great. I know it's partly Coronoavirus, but it's mostly launch-nearness. I just hope people will let me hop over to their islands in 6 months or a year, or in five years. As the ACNL thread shows I'm fine playing solo and making progress on my own, playing for 3-4 month stretches every year, year after year, but man, it means so much more when there's at least someone out there playing too.

Anyways, already ranted too much, back to your regularly scheduled New Horizons love fest. :P

I restarted.

I'm enjoying it more now that my expectations have been curbed. To make matter even better, my villagers kick ass. I'm actually have fun. I ended up time traveling. I still find the beginning tedious and overbearing with the amount of grinding needed when I just want to chill, but it was more bearable for me by just time traveling rather than waiting. I'm typically not a time travel animal crossing player. In fact, I openly resent it for the most part because I like playing with the clock. But I've learned that in order for me to enjoy the beginning of New Horizons I need more flexibility.

After starting a new character and game I've managed to have the TT shop built and gave Blathers what he needed to make a museum within two hours. Turned into bed and now I'm hitting the sack in real life. I'll stop time traveling once I've built the town hall again.

I'm feeling much better about the game after spoiling myself. Rather than having expectations and not having them met or just expecting it to be more New Leaf, it's easier to swallow now.

Also my villagers in my first town were that bad. If Billy and Plucky are in your towns kick them out. They're trash. I got Rocket and Mac and they're both amazing and personable. Turns out actually liking the villagers makes the island a lot less lonely and I can actually roleplay.  After bad experiences with my first town ( bad traversal, odd fish spawn rate) I'm not having any of those issues this time. Could my island possibly have bugged out the first time? I wish I could have sold my catalog and kept my stuff though. 😭

Sorry for making the thread miserable for y'all. My aspie-ness is getting the worst of me.

Legitimately have no idea what is going on.

First island I could NEVER get fish to spawn at my cliff river.

Now I can and it has turned into animal crossing relaxing fun time rather than the bait grind I did before.

What the fuck. Could some layouts just produce bad results? My new islands river is much smaller and there's only one cliff river so maybe that sizes it down? On the first there were two Rivers on my cliff.

This is actually enjoyable now.

I just want to chill on my island, not make a tedious loop gathering Manila clams, crafting bait, tediously pole vaulting rivers and climbing cliffs, then grinding fish.

This is what got me to delete my first save and the final straw. It's the complete opposite of why I play animal crossing. Running around gathering/grinding clams to make a fish appear is the antithesis to animal crossing. I've enjoyed it far more now just ignoring bait. Problem is that certain areas like the pier don't have any spawns without bait. Bait essentially acts as a gacha/rng to gatekeep you from acquiring rare fish. I'm sure it'll be fine with a simple patch.

The person that came up with the idea of making bait should bring honestly be fired though.

Still doesn't change the fact you're basically wandering around looking for a clam just to turn into bait. It turns a carefree game into something different. It should be ignored if you're playing for chill imo.

I think imposing on yourself the need to fish those fish within your first week & completing all projects as soon as they're available is kinda a self-imposed stress.

Some of the projects in NL seemed to have taken forever, here things get done pretty quick.

Today was the first day I've even used bait, doing minimal chores has allowed me to buy everything I could want so far in... if you want to max out your house a week and a half after buying the game I guess that's the kind of stress you have to put on yourself, but I don't think meaningful progress/furniture acquisition has been this fast in an AC game (sans the fact that you have to build facilities).

This is assuming people are doing it for a race rather than the fact nothing shows up. Go to your pier. Is there a fish? Likely not. Therefore you need bait. Entire categories of fish show up in specific areas. The Marlin ONLY appears at the pier. The stingfish ONLY appears at the cliff river. It would be nice for fish to appear without any bait at all. The fact there's area unique fish (pond, pier, cliff) but the fish don't spawn necessitates that you make bait. This means the game necessitates grinding. Even in NL you don't need a specific item to catch Coelacanths or sharks. You wait till a specific time of day and find it.

Combined with tools regularly breaking and you have a supposed disruption on typical chill animal crossing formula.

Also it taking two days for the museum (and one entire day wher you can't do present anything to Blathers) is the opposite of fast.

What I think should change about bait, is just let us craft some simple things without tables. If you could just pick up a clam, mash it with your bare hands and make it bait, that would be fine too.

I'd much rather BUY bait than run around looking for water sprouting of the sand running in circles like someone grinding in a jrpg. I don't want  to do that in animal crossing.

Also, the airport does have good shit.

Why does all this matter? Because in AC you need to find reliable sources of revenue. If the only way you can find reliable revrnue is doing what I described above, playing the game like someone grinding for levels in an RPG, then it turns that source of revenue into tedium.

If indeed the airport has tuna and Marlin that's a game changer. I caught an olive flounder so I can't confirm yet but I gotta feeling.

Also, can I get Flick to live on my island forever? Beats the normal villagers by miles.

I'm iffy about Flick. CJ seems cool and AC-y, but Flick seems out of place to me, I dunno. Like if there were an Ant villager or something lol.

They really relaxed some of the requirements in this game. The equivalent gold badge in ACNL was slightly more than 1000 unique items in your catalog, but here it tops out at 500.

Crazy this was one of the hardest badges for me to go after in NL, but I might check off the NH version in the first two weeks lol.

This has multiplayer?

How does that work?

Same Switch: someone on a different Switch profile can start the game and put their house somewhere on the island. You're still in charge of most island progression stuff, but they'll have their own house/storage/etc., and you can join each other on the same screen at any time with a second controller. The screen will follow the "leader," but the leader can be switched on the fly.

Different Switches (local wireless/online): open your gate at Dodo Airlines or choose to fly to another island. Orville will ask whether it's local or online and then you should be set. Dodo Codes will let you invite or fly to anyone who's not on your Switch's system friends list.

When someone is visiting your island this way, they can drop items on the ground, pick stuff up, fish, catch bugs, shake trees, send text chats, and a bunch of other stuff. Vice-versa when you're visiting someone else's island. You can then send or accept invitations to become a "Best Friend," and then you'll be able to use shovels and axes in each other's towns, but you'll also be able to send each other direct messages even when not in the same town at the same time (online DMs), and see when each other is online.

An example would be sending a quick "Hey you're online, can I sell fruit?" message, you open your gates, and your friend sells their fruit on your island for 5x its price on their island. Then since they're there, you two decide to go fishing together before they leave. Stuff like that is how multiplayer works in Animal Crossing. :)

Note that Dodo Airlines will be closed your first in-game day.

Fish and bug tourneys are back but they're run differently.

EDIT- Everything I posted about the rules might be wrong, so not gonna post them.

Chip who ran the fish tourneys in NL is letting his son CJ aka Chip Jr run things this time around. People have seen Nat on a poster in the museum and I'm not sure if he has any relation to Flick, the guy running the bug tourneys in New Horizons.

Ahhhh he can randomly pop up on your island to buy bugs but he only runs the contests on third Saturdays. Gotcha.

Yeah and no way to buy multiple things at the same time is still a curious omission.

Maybe if/when Nook's is upgraded it'll let you preview wallpaper/flooring? IIRC it wasn't until T&T Emporium you could preview things, but can't remember if it was the final upgrade or one of the earlier ones..

Ah I meant, did Isabelle comment that you need more ramps and bridges? She only told me we need more fences and villagers.

I checked off the fence requirement today (SHE LOOKED SO HAPPY) and sold four additional plots of land. Rocco is moving in tomorrow, which hopefully means one more each day until Saturday... hopefully with max villagers (10) and good amount of fences/decorations, I'll be able to hit 3/4 star and get KK before he has to perform Saturday.

Back when I'd do the whole island I'd probably get ~2 pieces of furniture a day

Yeah shaking trees isn't part of my daily or Mystery Isle routines anymore. Too tedious for little gain.

That furniture-in-trees requirement is one I'm fine slow-rolling. :P

Though shaking might be less tedious now that I've divided up my tree types and culled all my island's excess trees...

Welcome to the isle of Cerveza.

Let's do a quick tour.

(https://i.imgur.com/2RKDrmy.jpg)

In the south we have Nook's Cranny located on the foamy beaches of Cerveza. Be careful not to slip!

In Cerveza we pride our on our beach facilities. In the future we will have rows of pool chairs and and Able Sisters store located on our beach!

(https://i.imgur.com/lPOvQlP.jpg)

When you think of Cerveza, you think of relaxation.

Located in the center of the island is a unique small isle within an isle which bears fruit from across the world. Try to not pick them all! Here, you can fish fresh water fish to your hearts content while surrounded by the beauty of nature.

At Cerveza we are open to all kinds of people: capitalists, communists, and everything in between. Straight, gay, trans, cats, oil lathering muscle head dogs...

But the real prize...

Learn how to shovel rocks. Always maximize your return because you're given so little resources per day.

https://youtu.be/8eY7N2q3KJE

I'd suggest adding 4 holes horizontal and 1 hole vertical to make an L. This is a time tested way to brace yourself. Just keep tapping A.

Also visit a Nook island with your free ticket for more rocks.

Don't eat fruit and destroy your rocks on your own island, just on the random ones because those are instanced and you won't be coming back.

True enough but not all of them. On my first island I destroyed all the rocks with my tasty fruit powers. Ended up not having enough rocks to get the 30 iron nuggets to make the Cranny. Beezy had the same issue. I don't recommend it until you're a ways in, not at the beginning of the game.

I'm currently sitting at 30 fucking bells. Bought at 99 last Sunday... :(

Fish in the ocean. Today I made 30k. Granted, at one point it was raining and I took the opportunity to nab a coelacanth.

This pertains to something I wanted to write earlier but forgot as I do spring cleaning.

I really want to compliment New Horizons on its resource management. In NH, acquiring Bells is a challenge. By this time in New Leaf, all of us managed to learn how to easily - and I mean, easily - acquire over 100k worth of bugs in a single night. Tortimer Island in New Leaf gave the player far too many avenues for money. In hindsight, it broke the game. New Horizons has brought back the bell scavenging, do anything it takes mentality that Wild World had (and by extension the original AC which I haven't played but have heard about). Fishing (at this point) isn't a guarantee. Red snappers bring in the bells, but they're not too frequent. Because it's March, there's not much rain so Coelacanths aren't a common sight either. This is compounded by that, when it does rain, it's usually a very brief shower. It's not a full days worth, just a few minutes worth of opportunity.  :quark Foreign fruit doesn't bring in the bells it had in past either, to my knowledge, without investing by planting a lot (A LOT) of them. And even then, it seems that growing back fruit takes an age in this, so it's not a reliable, regular money maker. This uphill battle for bells makes the scrounge for resources all the more immersive - even if it can push people's patience.

New Horizons is undoubtedly far more slower than past Animal Crossing games. But at the same time, the mechanisms behind it feel all the more balanced as well. Right now turnips are the biggest money maker, and they appear more expensive than they were in the past (in my experience).

I have to pay my compliments to the chef. :delicious

So far AC is not for me and I don’t get what the general public sees in it, feels boring and archaic. Tiny inventory space, slow text, slow everything, repetitive gathering, can only eat one fruit at a time, etc...

But I’ll give it until the real game opens up to see what millions of people find addicting about this series.
Like I get Pokemon, other than being stupid boring easy, the collection, monster leveling, rpg system has a solid gameplay loop like Shin Megami Tensei. But don’t get AC yet.

Buy inventory space with nook miles immediately.

Unfortunately ACNH takes forever to get to the "real" Animal Crossing experience. In past games, you go to a village with already made houses, shops, and the like. In NH you make those yourself and start with nothing. So the game doesn't really "start" until you've got that stuff out of the way. Animal Crossing has never had the grind that was making those three houses or making Nook's Cranny before. But then, it'll still have the "repetitive gathering". In AC, I look for fossils and hit rocks daily for new stuff. AC should be a nice chill out, relax game. April is a much (much) better month than March. Maybe it will click when April rolls around and you see all these things to collect.

Like I get Pokemon, other than being stupid boring easy, the collection, monster leveling, rpg system has a solid gameplay loop like Shin Megami Tensei. But don’t get AC yet.

In AC, you set your own overall gameplay goals, and then there are seemingly a million mini-game loops to accomplish those goals which you can freely choose from. Primarily, it's a game about freedom. Which could be a problem if your mindset is "When do I get to beat the end boss?"

The "end boss" for me in this game is getting my island to look the way I want, finishing the museum, and paying off my house. I'm making bits of progress every day towards each of those. What's great is a lot of the gameplay systems overlap, giving even more freedom. "I could pocket this 1000 bells I dug up, or I could replant them for triple the profit." "I could use the profit for the red snapper on my new bridge, orrrr I could pay off my mortgage a little."

You need to figure out your own goals in the game, but it can be tough to see all the options you have and subsystems at play because you're still in the tutorial, basically. I'd keep at it, even 10 mins a day in AC can add up huge.

Unfortunately ACNH slowly reveals features. In past games, features are often revealed at the outset with new things stacked. Things like citizen satisfaction are there at the beginning but changing your characters look (hair for example) is reserved for later. Here, it's reversed. In this game they want you to concentrate on your character first, and then expand upon your island.

In previous pages I suggested Beezy wait a week to see if it's for him. In the past, that would be a good suggestion for someone new to Animal Crossing. With New Horizon I suggest two weeks. Unlock new things, slowly if you need to. I think that once you unlock Able Sisters and unlock town rating you will have the "proper" AC experience so you will know if you like it or not after after that.

Personally, I don't like the beginning of NH and I'm a series vet. So I wouldn't judge it based on the beginning at at all, because that's not standard Animal Crossing in the traditional sense. If you want, and find the timing too slow, feel free to set the system clock a day later if you don't feel like waiting. No harm in it, and it's not hurting anyone.

If anything I'm surprised newer players aren't taking to the guided progression better. They're introducing a lot of elements more clearly, instead of throwing everything in the toy box at you and expecting you to make your own goals. A standard complaint of the series is there's nothing to do, and the tutorial week basically has a clear goal for you to accomplish at any given point.

Perhaps in appealing more to that, some of the AC charm is backloaded past the tutorial, which might be hurting impressions? Will be fun to return to all this in a year when the dust settles. Like it wasn't really clear where NL stood in the series for a while and I think that'll be the case for NH too, especially with the planned updates.

Unfortunately ACNH slowly reveals features. In past games, features are often revealed at the outset with new things stacked. Things like citizen satisfaction are there at the beginning but changing your characters look (hair for example) is reserved for later. Here, it's reversed. In this game they want you to concentrate on your character first, and then expand upon your island.

In previous pages I suggested Beezy wait a week to see if it's for him. In the past, that would be a good suggestion for someone new to Animal Crossing. With New Horizon I suggest two weeks. Unlock new things, slowly if you need to. I think that once you unlock Able Sisters and unlock town rating you will have the "proper" AC experience so you will know if you like it or not after after that.

Personally, I don't like the beginning of NH and I'm a series vet. So I wouldn't judge it based on the beginning at at all, because that's not standard Animal Crossing in the traditional sense. If you want, and find the timing too slow, feel free to set the system clock a day later if you don't feel like waiting. No harm in it, and it's not hurting anyone.

If anything I'm surprised newer players aren't taking to the guided progression better.

They aren't? In my experience most newer players don't mind because they have no real expectations for what Animal Crossing is like. Compare the impressions with someone like myself or even Yeti, who are experienced players.

I was just reminded of a side hustle I had back on the gamcube where I would dupe the master sword and sell them on ebay for 5 bucks a pop.

 Ah those were the days.

What did you do, mail memory cards to people? :thinking Or just the in-game text code? :lol

in-game text code. Made about $50 bucks before the code for it was released online.  :doge

Just bebps and maybe one or two other people coming to AC from the "I've never really understood AC but gonna give this one a try" crowd.

All the impressions are some variation of "Hmm not really getting it yet but I'll keep playing."

Also yesterday and today I seem to have slowed my roll a bit and fell into some of the classic AC gameplay I know and loved.

On the one hand it feels a bit empty having less stuff to do, but I worked so hard precisely to get to this point... where I had an abundance of villagers, all the shops open, and things well on their way. Now instead of 10 things to look forward to every day I have 3-4 which is still fine! But yeah, playing slightly less recently.

I’m almost at that 5,000 nook miles to actually get to the real game.


So far AC is not for me and I don’t get what the general public sees in it, feels boring and archaic. Tiny inventory space, slow text, slow everything, repetitive gathering, can only eat one fruit at a time, etc...

You can speed up the text just hit b every line

You can speed up crafting animation, hit a twice

Increased inventory is a must do asap.

Secondly...

I've always felt that (and could never confirm for sure) that rarer fish have shorter bob windows.

Not sure tho.

No, you're right. It's been a while since I hunted truly rare fish in AC. Usually I apply a "close my eyes/look at my character and hear the bob" rule but with rare fish like this, you can't do that because you need to use reflex. The problem is that because it has the same size as a sea bass you don't know what you're going to get. Usually ultra rare fish are much bigger than bass so you know what to look for. Here, you don't. In NL it's easy to tell what an ultra rare fish is: by the fin protruding from the water (this doesn't apply to all rare fish obviously). But in NH, I think the sizes are more subtle. So you have to be actively looking for the bob and hit A asap.

I got it as soon as making that post once I realized that I needed to look at the fish rather than away to get it due to its rarity.

Lesson learned. Or relearned, I should say.

Yeah even before today they clearly either upped the spawn rate (used to be every 15 mins), or changed the algorithm for where they spawn (if they always spawn close to you instead of either side of the island, you're more likely to see them.)

I think it's because there's less furniture in trees now. Hitting trees with your axe for wood supplies makes shaking them redundant. So now the main method of delivery are balloons. I honestly have no complaint and consider it an improvement.

It gets less use now because the edges of your town don't exactly have cliffs like in the past, but still worth knowing about.

BTW that music is killer. It could work as a Sonic water stage theme.

:D YW! I can't believe that they finally implemented friend-to-friend online mail in this game (after snubbing the idea in Wild World, City Folk and New Leaf.) It felt like a design decision they dug their heels in, I imagined something like "We want played to be online at the same time to get messages."

But now they implemented it here, AND you can send gifts over the internet! I mean it's 2 max per day (per person?) but it's awesome. I'm still smarting from the loss of Pelly and Pete but this is such wonderful functionality to finally have in the series. :)

Yeah been doing more of this in the last two days, having nondestructive tree editing is a revelation. And it doesn't matter how many times you dig up and rebury a tree! In past games there was a limit and the tree started dying if you moved it before it was fully grown. So I had a bit of anxiety moving trees here (especially not fully grown ones!)

But yeah, it's all nondestructive.

Same with flowers! You can run through a flower to scatter its petals, but I believe the stems will be remain to regrow the petals. Lot of little things add up so that decisions such as "Do I want this tree here?" are much less stressful in this game. Same with moving buildings and whatnot. Being able to go back on a decision with no consequences (trees) or an appropriate penalty (buildings) is sooooo freeing.

:drudge Also some time-sensitive bamboo news:

The crafting item "young spring bamboo" will only be receivable until May 31st! But normal bamboo for crafting will be year-round.

Also growing bamboo seems to work differently in this game, a fully grown sprout will ONLY spawn a single bamboo shoot in the ground for its ENTIRE lifetime. (Bamboo in ACNL spawned 1-3 every couple days.)

I also ran into trouble trying to replant a grown bamboo in the same spot ("No where to plant this here!") So bamboo is trickier than other things it seems.

I've used the axe only once and have since learned my lesson. It's a pointless tool in this with the knowledge that you can just shovel a tree up.

This also gives fruit actual utility.

I noticed that on a bamboo island that you need to dig up holes and find single bamboo shoot. You can't just cut down bamboo and replant it would appear?

In the next game 7 years down the line, the stone and iron axes will probably be folded into the same item. I thought it was clever they went to the trouble of making a new type of axe, the only real "spinoff" tool, in order to facilitate the new crafting system while preserving legacy axe gameplay.

But yeah with the ability to eat fruit and dig up trees, its usefulness is almost nothing... Basically if you're out of fruit and Miles to try for more, and you really really need to clear some trees, the iron axe is all you got. But if you have even a handful of fruit, yeah, it's pointless. You even make money selling whole trees so there's even a bell incentive to dig up trees instead of chopping them down.




Sorry Nook Miles+, no I won't be chopping anything today OR ANY DAY :rage

I never even bothered chopping down a tree until a couple of days ago when I saw a bug on a stump on (I think) your island. Only moved and/or sold whole trees until then

I still have my original iron axe

The thing is, you can never be out of fruit as the shop sells your native fruit now.

So you have infinite supply to rearrange your town how you want it.

Oh yeah! They sell your fruit in the shop, and that ties in so cleanly with a lot of the gameplay systems, especially tree removal as you said.

If you had a lot of time you could probably make some bells on arbitrage: you can buy your own fruit for 400 bells and sell it on another island for 500, a 20% profit.

How are ratings handled in this game? In past games it wasn't an actual rating. It was basically a written evaluation. Like,"I'm not sure if I'm allowed to write this but anything would be better than what we are doing now, which is nothing " which is charming little feedback on a review of your towns progress. If it's just "your town is rated 2 stars!" then that would be disappointing.

I like the smoothing filter they added to custom patterns, but I wish it were selectively disableable. Some things should be more pixel perfect.

yep, I'd totally wear the low poly AC character model if there was one. And yah, when I made a pixel art sweater, it would have been nice to be able to turn off the smoothing.

The drawing on the ground doesn't look like it has the same smoothing filter as all other custom patterns.

Taken from this commercial:

This game is incredible once you establish a specific vision for your island.

(https://i.imgur.com/lGWpK0o.jpg)

Here's my camp on my unique isle. Today I planted at least 50+ flowers, made some tikis, and when the fruit grow again it'll be a vibrant place once the flowers bloom. Also making a bridge to it. It's going to be so cute.

And then, I noticed that I missed the spacing of the hammock on tile extra. It bugged me to look at it so I ate a coconut and then just moved the tree. Simple, but so game changing. In the past do you know all I'd have to do and how long it'd take to do this simple 20 second clip?

Quote
Here’s an example, for which I admit full culpability: When I first started playing, I visited a friend’s island. She was farther along than me—had a ladder, a vaulting pole, an upgraded ax, all that jazz. I still had flimsy tools and very much wanted an upgraded shovel. Understandably, she said no, on account of the fact that I had nothing useful to trade. So I started stomping on all her flowers. Soon enough, she gave me a sweet shovel, with one condition: I leave her island, stat. You shouldn’t do what I did! It’s mean!

Jesus, Kotaku will just hire anyone these days apparently.  :yuck

Fuck me for thinking I could get this ramp done tonight. And fuck Nintendo for this bullshit maintenance.

And for right now fuck this game. You know what a good QoL change NL did that they dumped Gamefreak style? Late night ordinance. 1am is a good time for Nook's to close. Midnight is acceptable. Piss off with 10pm.

Using KK to cap off the "story"/tutorial is kind of ingenious though. It always displayed the credits in past AC games but it was always like, an optional thing many players might have even missed. NL added credits for when you sit at your town's big tree, wonder if there's something like that here.

Selling everything in my storage except clothes and crafting materials (and "special" items obvs.)

For the first time in an AC game I'm changing my clothes regularly (every single day in fact.)

Like usually for each game I pick a "look" and then only change for the winter/summer changeovers. The wardrobe is immensely fun in this game, as is buying clothes, as are the sheer number of variations for any given item. Absolute kudos to the clothing system in this game, you can tell they put a lot of work and thought into it. (And you can see just how many designers there were for it in the credits!)

Part of this was also triggered by Rodeo bitching me out about wearing the same shirt two days in a row. Was not expecting to be put on blast like that in an AC game. :stahp

Sneak slowly until they rear back and hiss. STOP MOVING until they stop being agressive. move again. repeat until you're close enough to swipe it.

Honestly kinda bad timing on the easter, sorry Bunny Day event. Zipper is the worst holiday mascot in the series by a long shot. I read somewhere he creeps younger kids out. :lol And why wouldn't he? It's some rando in a suit PRETENDING to be a bunny. And a very happy one... until he doesn't see anyone around and spaces out... menacingly...

So yeah, worst holiday/mascot, and bad intro to holidays for series newcomers. But they were kinda screwed on the timing I suppose.

Disaster today at my island. First Ursula had fleas, that dirty bitch. Then my Resident Services Tent is closed for its upgrade so I can’t access Nook ATM. I sold like 5 weeds to Timmy and Tommy and immediately my wallet was full of bells that I was going to pay to upgrade my house, and all the excess bells are now taking up precious inventory space. I have so little inventory space, it’s all filled with tools, crafting material, and eggs. These really should have had their own inventories you could cycle through.

:uguu This game is so wholesome

When I made a Turnip run yesterday through r/acturnips we all formed an orderly queue at Nook's and then went in one at a time to do our business. Then as agreed, we all met back at the dock so the host could kick us out all at once to keep things stable.

I started clapping at the end and everyone eventually joined in and 8 rando strangers were all giving each other a standing O (clip cuts a bit short)

Planted 99k in a gold spot only to learn that it's sorta* up to chance whether it'll x3 that, or top out at 30k. :-\ (Aka 69k loss, not nice.)

The optimal amount to plant apparently is 11k. You'll make either 33k or 30k.

*Apparently there's a pattern for it you can check (like 30k, 30k, UNLIMITED, 30k), but I'm not sure if I want to dive into the meta of yet another gameplay system though....

Ursula had fleas AGAIN yesterday. I need a bar of soap item to gift to her. The new Resident Services building opened and pretty much blocks the view of Nook’s Cranny the way I placed it so Tom is going to milk some more bells out of me to move it, that crafty raccoon. I bought the second room for my house though, gonna use it to try and craft all the Bunny Day items so I can keep track of what I’ve crafted. There are a LOT of Bunny Day items, and I don’t think I’ve even unlocked all the recipes because I’m still missing either the floor or wallpaper, I forget which.

My point is you can just grow foreign fruit and gather that rather than get coconuts and make coconut juice. They sell for the same amount.

That's true but I have 20 coconut trees. If crafting weren't such a pain I'd say it'd be a no brainer to turn them into coconut juice. Like if this were MH's crafting systems I'd have them converted and sold in like 10 seconds flat. In NH the process would probably take 5-8 full minutes.

Really good. Buying in at 90s is generally favorable. 100+ is less fun but honestly the buy price doesn't really matter, unless you're looking to make a 1% profit or something.

Turnip runs are so fun to see all the peeps. If anyone wants to over pay for turnips, as the west coast guy I’ll keep my town open until noon. 108 though. Will probably grind up to a full inventory at least tho, I’ve got like 30 stacks rn. New basement is great for dumping turnips! Oh and you don’t need a ladder or pole in my town FYI

Got a DIY recipe for a cherry blossom wand! :o I just made my bamboo wand this morning but already want to replace it lol. It would go so perfect with the hot springs!

We'll see what washes on my beach tomorrow but I might just be paying top dollar for some star fragments.

I usually just get hypnotized by the twinkling lights, trying to discern a pattern... then that's when it sometimes happens. Like a 5% shot.

Cherry blossom wand?! What are ingredients?

3 blossoms, 3 (normal-sized) fragments

I had my first Animal Crossing dream this afternoon. I was just out in the woods wacking a butterfly over and over with my net wondering why the catch animation wouldn't trigger, and then I looked at my net and it was ripped so I was like "damn, I gotta craft a new one" so I drove down to the hardware store to buy 5 sticks and an iron ore. I was trying to remember whether I needed to buy some softwood too when I woke up.

When I was playing NL and had to do the stalk market solo because everyone else abandoned the game after 6 months (not bitter...), yeah, I'd usually sell at 150+, but it depended on the trend I was on. Compared to what I'm doing in NH, I played much much smaller amounts, but over a longer period. If you play the long game, you'll make hella bank pulling a >=50% profit every week. 8)

I think I’m just going to roll my profits into next week, so I’ll look for a better price then.

That's also what I did. Usually reinvest a third to half of my haul into next week.

So, not really following/reading this thread because I don't want to spoil myself with all the nice stuff other people already have.

Wonderful game for playing 20 minutes before going to bed btw.

Just a noob question:

I need iron ore for the shop. Since mining that was slow I read up on it and apparenty you can mine up to 8 items from a stone if you do it correctly (like doing it quickly and without hitting air in between). I was like wtf because i got like 3 items on average, most of which wasn't iron ore. At my current pace it would have taken me like a week to mine the iron.

So I wouldn't have suspected such a mechanic, is there more like this that I should know? Hidden mechanics that can have big input on your progress. Because otherwise it's a bit slow right know.

It's actually easier in this game than previous games. Set yourself up close and take two hits with your shovel, then walk a little towards the rock and take two more hits.

If you can't get 7 resources, then set yourself up and dig holes behind you. That will prevent you from bouncing out of range.

Yup that's the same one I'm missing. Well that and Wobbling Zipper Toy, but you get that after crafting the other items which I haven't done yet.

It's actually easier in this game than previous games. Set yourself up close and take two hits with your shovel, then walk a little towards the rock and take two more hits.

If you can't get 7 resources, then set yourself up and dig holes behind you. That will prevent you from bouncing out of range.

Yeah, I can usually get 8 without needing to dig wholes or use "secret techniques." You just have to be quick and not mess up.

Other secret techniques? Hmm, can't really think of any, other than in general if you're lacking resources you should take a Mystery Tour. :)

You’ll get the recipe for the arch, Zipper wobbling toy, and wand on Bunny Day itself, which is April 12 🙂

They definitely scrapped it from the initial release and missed a line 👀

But considering how frequently they've already updated the game, and what we know of their holiday release plans (seems monthly or bimonthly), who can say what the future holds 👀

DLC pipe dream: I want cute lil vehicles please lol. Like just give me a row boat, go kart, etc

Go ahead and take a little more from minecraft and let us do our own train tracks and have a cute little train that goes around town.

More interactive stuff in general is what I hope for. Do more with other people, too. Like group mystery tours, big time needed.

Vehicles would be such a huge change for the series. I could see them doing it, Zelda added a fucking motorbike, but it'd probably be an expansion pass type thing I would think...

Also I think I figured out the high-end/rare/end-game furniture set out? The zodiac one. In addition to big/small star fragments you can get zodiac fragments it seems like. Right now I'm getting Aries because I assume it's that part of the year... So to get the full set (all 12) you have to play every month of the year I think?

Also the reqs to make it are ridic but that's the point I guess.

So jealous my villager Julian has like the full set in his house. :o

(https://i.imgur.com/6Tibj4w.png)
[close]

My (mostly) lovely neighbors, in order of when they moved in:

(https://i.imgur.com/XbfqqZx.png)

Dom

This guy tries to be a jock so hard but he can't escape his adorkable fluffy-ball exterior. He's my ACNH BFF (and maybe something more? jk... unless??? :-[) and I just want to hug him and hold his hand forever. :heartbeat



(https://i.imgur.com/w2ISkMk.png)

Pashmina

Pashmina was one of my OGs from New Leaf, but she left Serres to travel the world. Funny we should wind up on the same island together all these years later. As one of my first two ACNH villagers, we've only deepened our friendship since New Leaf. She's indispensable for fashion tips and island goss, too. :heart



(https://i.imgur.com/8eUB8ew.png)

Rodeo

I hate this guy. He's made multiple of my villagers upset, dissed my fashion the second day he knew me, and is way too full of himself. I call him a vampire but I wish he really was, just so he'd burst into dust after walking around in daylight. :maf If I get the Amiibo cards for my GC BFFs Bunnie and Hopper, this dude is toast. :bolo



(https://i.imgur.com/kQPCSgR.png)

Sprinkle

The island ditz, Sprinkle can charm me and make me shoot soda out my nose in the same dialog box. I gave her her own special home placement -- the only house on the second tier of Ohana Isle, and secluded behind the hot springs to boot. :)



(https://i.imgur.com/GbAN06z.png)

Ellie

I had a bad experience with the only other elephant in one of my towns, Opal, but I was trying not to discriminate... :mike

I'm glad I didn't because Ellie is a true sweetheart. Oddly, she can be a bit blunt and oblivious to others, causing several of the other girls to lose their cool after talking to her, but Ellie's never been anything more than a good friend to me. :D



(https://i.imgur.com/mzUDUCF.png)

Julian

I was a bit apprehensive about this unicorn bloke moving in... seemed like a bit of a weirdo, and also series-wise a bit too outside the "normal" realm of animals. And despite being male, he's more on top of the fashion scene than anyone else on the island. (Not that there's anything wrong with that. :whatsthedeal) I had to give him props for his house though, a full set of end-game zodiac furniture.

Over time I've warmed up to him more and more, and I look forward to talking with him now.



(https://i.imgur.com/WHMVZHd.png)

Rocco

Unlike a lot of people I know, I'm not immediately put off by the gruffer villagers. In fact a lot of the time, after you get to know them, talking to them is more my speed than the cheery ones (for the most part.) This comes from my GameCube BFF Hopper being a similar tsundere archetype. :heart But for Rocco, even though I made a point to talk to him every day, he wanted to move out after less than a week!! :o I was heartbroken. Clearly he's more of a softy than I expected, so I've been changing up how I interact with him. So far so good! If he wants to move away again after this, I won't stop him, but I did not want to let him leave us after barely getting to know us.



(https://i.imgur.com/eYeSw0W.png)

Diana

Reminds me of the Pokemon Diancie. She's a sweetheart with a killer pink bathroom furniture set... A bit meek but very thoughtful.



(https://i.imgur.com/5NrmDDQ.png)

Camofrog

My weed dealer. He's great. :itagaki

Bob

How's Annie? How's Annie?! HOW'S ANNIE?!?

Do golden items not break? That would be so handy

They still break. Would probably break the economy if not. :/ I agree they should be indestructible like the old ones. (Gold axe never broke.)

I basically just use flimsy items for my daily routine. Get one of each and do their activity till they break. Drop some iron on one I really feel like doing for the day.

So you raise your island rating to 3 stars just by planting flowers and putting things all over your island? I already got rid of all the weeds. I'm still at one star, but I'd like to get K.K. to come this weekend. I could easily put down all this bunny day shit that I had to make.

I think you need at least 8 animal villagers fully moved in too. Past that yeah, plant flowers, put some fences up, and pick up trash/weeds. You can also craft a couple outdoorsy things for your front or back lawn, or the lawns of your villagers. The items you can order for Nook Miles (like the solar panel, pool, etc.) also boost things.

Title: Re: ANIMAL CROSSING: NEW HORIZONS - Thread of Gaming Zen
Post by: Tasty on April 09, 2020, 07:55:27 PM
Hmm what do you mean spawn? Start moving into a reserved plot?

Not sure I noticed the campsite having an effect, but it's definitely possible there wasn't anyone in there when my villagers moved in... in fact there hasn't been anyone visiting there in a while...


Edit- Oh mystery tours, yeah have no idea. That kind of limitation might make sense though...

Been slowing down a bit as well, especially since the hot springs opened last week. Last couple of days I've finished my daily tasks by 11am and then I take a good long break until evening, which I use to prepare for the next day.

I think I got my daily staples set:

- Change my outfit (first thing)
- Hit all rocks
- Talk to all 10 of my villagers
- Bury a new money tree and harvest the mature one
- Dig up all the things and donate fossils*
- Check Nook's
- Check Able's
- Axe my bamboo trees, since young spring bamboo is a seasonal item
- Water my flowers, if I have time

* Today was the first day all four of my fossils got rejected as dupes. :o Probably going to be the norm from here on out until I finish it now.

I love pretty much all these variations/colors overall (drink machine :heartbeat), but I got the worst variation for public benches. If anyone has pretty public benches let me know! Literally every other color is better lol, but my favorite is the cyan/pink and navy/yellow.
My Nook terminal has this. I can have it sent directly to you, right?

Possibly! I know you can do it from the normal Nook catalog at the ABD, but not sure about Miles items.

Super appreciated! Thank you. 🙏🏻
Just tried and yeah you can't do it with miles items. I'll send it tomorrow once I get it.

:heartbeat I know just where to put it too.

LMK if there's anything I can do to reimburse for the Miles, I know they're the most precious currency in the game. (Aside from havin lotsa fwiends! :heart)

It's made up of timed challenges, and time spent crafting detracts from time spent fishing. 👀

You can of course craft stuff tomorrow before starting but I'm getting it out of the way today, since the event ends at 6 PM.

Seems like you could just craft or “repair” in between, I’m excited, never done a tourney — bait seems like a good idea though

Quote
Unlike previous fishing tournaments in Animal Crossing, the fishing tourney in New Horizons does not depend on the size or rarity of the fish you catch but on the quantity alone. Each attempt will have players catch as many fish as they can within three minutes. One point is earned for each fish caught. Two additional points are rewarded if you've caught at least three fish. To win the gold fishing trophy, you’ll need a total of 300 points by the end of the tournament.

I’ve got like 200k or so to go on my basement payment, gonna try to push through that today. Gonna craft Easter crap and sell it, any tips on something that sells high from that set?

Fishing tourney sucks.

Max you can really get each time is 8-10 fish if you have bait and get lucky. Which gives you 10-12 points. So you'd need 25+ attempts. Need 300pts for gold trophy. What a time sink :kobeyuck

5k-15k bells per cooler load is alright too I guess.

So apparently if you do co-op you get 5 bonus points per round if you both catch a combined 5+ fish.

So even if we each only caught 3 fish we'd still get 3pts + 2pts + 5pts = 10pts each  :o

Fish with friends! Invite other players over to your town and you'll be able to fish cooperatively during the tournament. All points earned across all players are shared during each attempt, and players can then earn swag individually. Plus, having another friend over will give you a +5 co-op bonus on top of the +2 point bonus for catching at least 3 fish!

Had a pretty successful fishing tournament today. Judging by the list HardcoreRetro posted I managed to get most of the items. I thought I would use the tourney today to grind out the Blue Marlin and Tuna since as far as I know those are the only two fish leaving the end of April. It kind of sucked talking to CJ and then having to run down to the pier because I lost several precious fishing seconds. Managed to get both fish though, so that tank in the aquarium doesn’t look so empty now. Wish I had known about that multiplayer bonus, I would have tried to track one of you guys down to get a gold trophy.

Gonna try to get a snapping turtle in a few hours, what size shadow do I look for?

I'm now reminded why I haven't been playing as much recently.

My pockets are always full. My house storage is always full. So far there appear to be no dressers for more storage. It's so tedious to me. I constantly have to empty my pockets and crap. So I don't buy anything and I don't bother digging for anything so I've stopped having fun. Then there's the fact you have to have tools on you constantly which takes up 5-6 spaces plus crap for crafting which means you'll always have at least 10-11 spaces full of required crap. Between making citizen satisfaction into a grind, the crappy egg event, and tbh I'm just not finding it fun anymore.

Lack of storage space took a lot of the winds out for me since I like having color variations of a lot of the Able Sisters' stuff. Biggest reason I wanted to pay off my loan, in all the other games storage isn't tied to house size so I was OK with taking a year+ to pay off my house. It took me 13 months for New Leaf IIRC, but I couldn't stand having less storage in this game.

Honestly storage should be a separate upgradeable thing, maybe even still tied to your house, but have it be something Nook can change like the roofing and paint.

I will say, it seems like players do get to a point where it's less of an issue. Fully upgrading the house, or even just getting the second floor (800 spots), is a huge help, and once you have enough bridges/ramps you can sock those tools away. I've also been considering storing more of my crafting materials since I just don't use them often enough anymore.

ACNL only had 16 inventory slots total, so I'm pretty happy with that aspect of NH (even with tools and crafting materials I have about 24 free slots), and things even stack much better in NH, it's just house storage that needs rebalancing/reworking.

New Horizons: OH SHIT BRO YOU DIDN'T EVEN CRAFT BAIT, TOO LATE HERE'S THREE MINUTES

Turnips sold and made 170k bells. Should be enough for tomorrow

Going to start running the island like a utilitarian.

Anything I don't need or going to use I'm selling. I just bought a bunch of stuff from nooks and immediately sold it because while I like I don't need it now. Better to sell than clog storage.

Tomorrow I'm going to clear out storage and sell everything I don't immediately need.

Now i can have fun again. This entry ain't for hoarders like me.

Remember when New Leaf had love and attention put into the fishing tournament?

Remember when there was a dedicated scripted event with a podium and fanfare for who actually won?

Remember when it felt like fucking Animal Crossing? Fishing at your leisure throughout the day is 1000% more AC than some three minute bullshit.

Remember when if you missed it, it basically happened every winter month anyways? Not once a quarter so fuck you if you miss it?

Remember when the fishing tournament was fun?

stores outfits for you. Literally takes the clothes out of your inventory and saves the outfit. Completely saving you space. It's a life saver. I counted like 8 or 9 outfit slots. It's a game changer.

Removed a bunch of trees, including about 20 fruit ones to make it easier to run around. (Still have about 16 trees per type.)

Combined with a couple ramps and holy crap it's actually as fun as it was in New Leaf to run around my island.

I had to do that too, Isabelle told me residents were too stupid to find their houses because I had so many trees. I actually wanted to live on an island that was like a town in a forrest but fuck these villagers for complaining.

Played a bit today, stored all my eggs I was keeping in my inventory freeing SIX spaces! Felt good. Also changed my egg room to a proper bedroom but now all my rooms look bare. The Nook shop needs to carry more and better furniture so I can decorate properly.

Also talked to Isabelle and somehow my island hit a three star rating so KK Slider is coming tomorrow. Not sure what I did to push it over the edge, I didn’t place any extra furniture outside yesterday and I haven’t put up any fences which I thought was a requirement for three stars.

Still not sure what to do in this game.

I've got a house and am paying it down by selling random shit I picked up. I'm saving up Nook miles for idk since I already bought the pocket organizer. I'm a few fossils away from opening the museum and shit ton of iron nuggets away from opening the shop.
Still only have the start 2 villagers on my island.

Basically all I can do is fish and sell, hit some rocks or trees with an axe and collect, or dig at holes with a shovel. Pretty simple game so far without a lot of content. Still waiting for it to open up more.

Still not sure what to do in this game.

I've got a house and am paying it down by selling random shit I picked up. I'm saving up Nook miles for idk since I already bought the pocket organizer. I'm a few fossils away from opening the museum and shit ton of iron nuggets away from opening the shop.
Still only have the start 2 villagers on my island.

Basically all I can do is fish and sell, hit some rocks or trees with an axe and collect, or dig at holes with a shovel. Pretty simple game so far without a lot of content. Still waiting for it to open up more.

 If you want I could drop by with 30 Iron nuggs and a ladder like I did for Bork. Just gotta let me bury something on your island, no questions asked.

Sounds fair to me. How do I let you on my island?

Thanks to Yeti, have laid the grounds for the shop. Will open that and museum and see what is next in this game.
Yeti gave me a ladder but idk what I'd use a ladder for yet. Can't climb trees or my house  :'(

Also this game is total trolling. They tell me to get 30 softwood, 30 hardwood, 30 iron nuggets to build the shop and then they're like oh wait we forgot there's a 4th item, we need 30 wood -_-

Where the hell is K.K.? Did the fishing tourney and bunny day override him? :maf

Desperately need hardwood (:teehee), as much as I can get. Buying bundles of 30 for 50k? I should be able to receive them in the mail (unlike eggs) and will reply with bells as promptly as I can. :)

I don't know what a fair price is on this stuff either, pretty flexible...

I still need to send you the blue/pink benches, but I can't figure out how to send them through the mail. Should I just come to your island today? Also, did you only want one?

Hmmm I can't really replace Nook Miles in the same way I can pay back bells, etc...

Anything you can provide would be awesome, and I can get you something from my Nook Miles catalog, or things like star pieces (I have quite a few extra) or gold in return. Up to you of course. :) Any amount of public benches would be good, but I have three spots in mind they'd be perfect for.

I have access to hyacinths, mums, and pansies at the moment, though I've seen windflowers pop up in the store as well. I've gotten some hybrids from mystery tours, namely pink and purple mums, and purple, blue, and orange hyacinths. I've planted a lot of colors and types of flowers haphazardly, though I haven't found any roses or lilies yet.

One lily of the valley did sprout today (see above pic.) :) More will come, and I realized today because of where I've placed most of my fencing, the majority of them will sprout up on the same plateau I'm planning on moving my house to. :D

I'm also thinking of trying for a crop of golden roses now that I have the gold watering can.

I've done zero work or coordination with flowers in AC games before, in fact until New Leaf I ignored them entirely, so this is a new AC gameplay system to master. :D Possibly the last one...

Yeah, sorry mates, can’t care about flowers, 3 star forever (or unless they lock some functionality I want behind star ratings)

I'm giving it a go but tbh it's really the only thing so far I find to be a real slog. Not that other shit isn't tedious but for whatever reason the pseudo-OCD isn't kicking in with these things

There's no real reward for growing rare ones. Which is the point of a lot of gameplay things in AC sure, but various other systems have at least some vague carrot at the end. With flowers, the game counts a red tulip and gold rose as the same thing.

I'll send a pink and brown lilly tomorrow if you don't have them, and a bag of whites when they show up in the store.

AM/PM stalks today were 45/39. Glad I had that big one earlier in the week, it's been rough now. The insect guy showed up today, just like CJ but for bugs.

Trying to grow pink roses for the entrance to my island.  Got like 4 now. Need 18.

Island is called Rose Petal. So it would be natural to have lots of roses. Probably gonna try and make different hybrids so I can make other villagers some gardens.

First up'll be Cranston since he seems to be the villager that's the most into flowers. See him reading books about plants or watering my plants all the time.

Flick is way cooler than CJ, which is the total opposite of what I thought before the game came out. Flick's just chilling with bugs and rocking his own look (seriously, he looks unique among the AC NPC lineup.) Meanwhile CJ is Youngster Joey x 10,000. :lol

I'll have a meteor shower tonight! Celeste is here (somewhere) and people have been talking about clear skies and shooting stars all day. I believe even if you're on my island, if you make a wish here you'll still get the star fragment on your beach tomorrow.

I've been saving some fragments for beezy, but I should get more tomorrow on the beach, so I can give you one or two if that's OK?

Gate is open with Dodo Code™ 2WJ8J. Everyone is welcome for the next hour or so btw. :3

Game progression spoilers
Still no Nook's upgrade... Hmm :thinking

My in-game Nook tracking card says I've played for 31 days, this should be day 32, and the requirement is 30 days... and 200k spent/sold, but I've definitely hit that...

Anybody get a notice about Nook's upgrading yet?

Edit-

Quote
Players must have played for a total of 30 days from building Nook’s Cranny.

Ahhhhh from building... That was probably day 2/3 for me. So I guess it'll be sometime this week lol.

Autumn crafting spoilers
Also I found out hardwood trees are the only way to get a seasonal crafting material (acorns) in the fall. Cedar trees will produce pinecones instead. So probably going to plant some of those in the fall I guess...

Gonna wake up tomorrow to my house expansion, the full museum, and Nook's Cranny all built.

So it was built on the "third" day for me (20th <6am, 20th >6am, built on the 21st), so I'll get the upgrade notice probably Tuesday or Wednesday... Hopefully Tuesday since it'll probably take an extra day to build. :/

Once something has been in your pockets you can order it from the catalogue (those that can be ordered),  so I think people get together and they each drop a bunch of items on the ground and others pick them up then drop them back down. It's a way of filling out the catalogue and getting access to more items.

You might see one or 2 around your island after 7pm somewhere. Note they are like wasps in that they will attack you but you are knocked out in one shot if you get hit (compared to 2 from wasps if you didn't use medicine to heal the first one).

There was a way to make a "Tarantula island" out of certain Nook Mile Islands but my understanding it has gotten harder due to a new bug (as in the insect) being around and messing up the spawning rate for the Tarantula in the process. If you can find an all bamboo island that still works apparently.


People do the Tarantula Island thing because they are worth 8000 bells a pop normally and with Flick buying them at a higher price if he's around.

As long as these events aren't as overbearing as Bunny Day (and Nintendo pulled back on that mid-event so they're listening), these events will mean even more long-term engagement than the series already offered.

I deliberately spoiled the smallest batch possible, and got ants pretty easily. Didn't ever see a fly on it (over days) and then someone took my rotten turnips on Friday. :(

Post by: Tasty on April 22, 2020, 09:04:58 AM
Btw been posting less but still playing a lot, here's what I've been up to:

- I've been selectively adding bits of road in places of my island to make it easier to run around, but yesterday I took the step of connecting them all together. I've been nervous about too much roads and infrastructure clashing with my traditional AC mindset, but in use roads are immensely useful. Mostly, it lets me run with confidence knowing that there's no flowers in my upcoming path. :P

- Paid Nook 50k bells to move Nook's Cranny a *second* time. The first time I needed it like 5-6 squares back, this time I just need it 1 square to the right... I've temporarily put it in the former spot of Mount Turnip, which I've decided is going to be my "playground"/sandbox area for stuff like this and anything I need to do for events/holidays. My original plan was to move my house up there, but that's probably going to have to wait for a while.

- Nook's upgraded today!! Oh man I can't wait for you guys to get it. I noticed right off the bat it's selling way more expensive things!

- Aside from the Pocket Camp items I'm planning on getting later today, I think I've ordered at least 1x of everything in the Nook Miles catalog... except for a Zen Fence Iron Fence. If that DIY recipe pops up for any of you, please nab an extra for me and I'll make it worth your while!!

- On Monday I got the Amiibo card for my longest-term AC friend, Hopper. Also on Monday, out of nowhere, my least favorite villager Rodeo (who dissed my fashion on day two >:( ) said he was thinking of leaving. BYE BITCH! Instead of "overriding" Rodeo's will and getting Hopper to move in immediately, I instead let him move out naturally. That means an extra day or two without Hopper, but feels like the more AC way to do things. :) Now I have a free spot for Hopper to move into, and zero guilt.

- Got less than 100 spots free in storage already. :/ And I don't have any more upgrades. Hopefully a future update adds extra storage options you can buy, like Secret Storage from the Welcome Amiibo update.

- I've maxed out on ramps and will max out on bridges today... Yesterday I finally replaced my janky-ass log bridge (was my first one) to Nook's with a proper stone bridge. Now all my bridges are consistent. :heart

- I got Dom's picture!!!! My first ACNH villager, my first ACNH BFF, and my first pic. :heartbeat

- Still haven't done anything out of my way with flowers, and might not lol. So much tedium for so little reward...


I figure people are still playing but falling more into the daily AC task stuff, so less to post about. Definitely excited for Earth Day, Leif and Redd!!! :D

Nook is upgrading today and will reopen tomorrow, just in time for the update! I have been putting some serious time into the design of my island, moving houses, terraforming here and there, destroying old bridges that don't make sense anymore.

According to people who got the New Cranny unlocked yes you apparently can but not sure if you can constantly re-customize (maybe not)

They supposedly have the same  initial durability as the tools that needs iron nuggets

But yeah, all according to plan, 12-1pm PDT I’ll just have it open for borians for the friends n family round of selling. After that I’ll set up a profile on turnip.exchange and use new dodo codes for every batch of 4. If anyone wants to sneak into one of these rounds, I’ll pm you the current code. Town will be blocked to just nooks. Gonna way undercut whatever tip demands people are making, too, gonna try to make this as efficient as possible with strangers. Might even break out the timer :lol

Took a lot of annoying terraforming (moving two waterfalls even slightly is a huge process!), but Ohana's final bridge came out great. :heartbeat

Originally wanted to put a Zen Bridge instead, but I realized the added verticality of Stone Bridges makes it possible to see over the edge to the horizon!

The end result thankfully isn't much different from what was there already, either. My primary goal has been to not change the island terrain too drastically, so I'm really happy it's worked out this well.

Think I'm done with terraforming (and making changes to my island in general) for a long while, now.

Yeah. I'm guessing they took compound interest away, with time traveling that's an easy way to scoop bells. Not sure it's even worth it to patch and not sure I like this direction of Nintendo trying to force players to play their way, but this one at least seems minorly reasonably...

On a positive note, the Pocket Camp DLC items for New Horizons are (re-)orderable through Nook Shopping, not Nook Miles like I thought, so if we do a catalog party or whatever you guys will be able to order them without having to suffer as I've suffered. :P

Edit- Actually catalog party might not work, it's treated as actual DLC for the game (probably unlock codes, but still) and unlocks a new "Promotion" tab in Nook Shopping. :thinking

Spent all my remaining savings on the two crown items... had to sell one to buy the other too. But fulfills a dream I've failed to attain since Wild World like 14 years ago. :D

Will need to play Stonks next week so I can rebuy the crown I sold. :3

I didn't think I'd have further large expenditures, but some of these daily Nook items are going for 400-500k, not to mention I've seen people ITT say Redd's art is fucking expensive too. Seems like I may have to play the the stalk market more regularly than I thought.

This game is so weird as an outsider. I don’t get it at all.

A character on Sunday sells you a kind of "fruit" called turnips at a fixed price. You then sell these anytime over the next week (before next Sunday, or they'll spoil.) The sell price at Nook's varies twice per day (AM and PM), and also varies between islands. It's possible to make millions of Bells (currency) in profit if your investment is large enough. Most people invest 100-200k in bells every week I think.

The crown look's like Princess Peach's crown and goes for 1 mil. The "royal crown" looks like the king piece in chess and goes for 1.2 mil.

Edit- I've had the upgraded Nook's for two days; yesterday an iron/modern kitchenette with range was 400k Bells, and today there was a sakura blossom screen for 500k bells. Honestly they're really cool items but don't seem worth nearly that much.

Here's what they look like in my catalog:

(https://i.imgur.com/9weoLqG.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/v2WwZx2.jpg)

Not sure if the kitchen is customizable; the screen is not. The "plum" designation makes me think you have to buy other versions separately. :-\

Sorry for the hyperbole, I legit remembered them being that expensive... Or rather having to run to the ADB to buy them... must have tricked my brain. :P

Still, point is I'll be needing to play turnips on the reg, just small scale. Honestly that's fine, it felt a bit empty this week not needing to check twice a day (though it worked out with Nook's upgrading!)

So the entire point of the npc selling turnips is so you can buy them and re-sell them at a different time or to people from other islands at a re-sell profit.

And then the people who buy them from your island go and re-sell them to npcs or other players are their re-sell profit?


This game is fucking weird. This is the kind of system I'd expect from a Suda51 game.

Haha.

You basically have it, only thing to note is that you'll usually buy turnips on your own island. There's a slight benefit seeking out the best buy price from your friends, but it's negligible compared to the potential profits of selling.

But yeah, buy low, sell high, it's the stock market just with... turnip stalks.


I suppose in 2020 it does seem like an odd system... The way it works is kind of a by-product of (online) multiplayer being added to the series in Wild World. I suppose in the original GameCube game you could do the two-memory-card thing, but oh man what a pain... I doubt anyone did that for turnips, or if they did, only for 1 or 2 times. :lol

It's honestly not too different a system from how non-native fruit sells for 5x the price. The price just varies day by day instead, and you can only get it from an NPC instead of trees.

Not at the moment, but in the fall cedar trees will start producing a seasonal crafting material -- pinecones. (Hardwood trees will produce acorns.)

In addition, in December cedar trees get dressed to the nines. :)

I have too many fucking fruit trees on ground level and I want to have more open spaces for roads/furniture/etc without sacrificing them.

I've done this and it worked out really well, I think Cats did too. Basically segmenting the trees based on level. For me ground level is all fruit trees, level two is cedar and bamboo, and the third level is just cedar trees. Running around is a lot of fun. :)

There is a friendship meter and gifts will make it increase based on what you give them.

So if its something they are into supposedly the meter fills faster. (apparently wrapping them as gifts also helps)

My understanding is that this friendship meter can give you a framed picture plus also the remaining reactions at different levels.

Also the reactions are based on the personality types so its best to have all 8 types so you can get all of them

55.9% chance large spike, 38.9% chance decreasing, 5.12% chance small spike

Best sell time looks to be between Wednesday and Friday. Tomorrow will hopefully provide enough data to make a more precise prediction.

Oh thank god, I have all eight types. :whew

I have three cranky villagers and one each of the other types. The cranky club includes Rocco (who reads a lot and he's a giant hippo but he wears these tiny reading glasses and omg my heart), Camofrog (skeet skeet my weed dealer, he literally gave me a "pot" DIY recipe LMAO), and my newly moved-in GameCube BFF Hopper. :heartbeat

I've let the game fill the island out on its own, so it probably (hopefully?) is just balanced that way, and you only can really get yourself in trouble if you do a lot of manual move-ins (via Amiibo cards or other methods.)

Anyways, this just cements my desire to completely lock my current villager roster in place forever. :lol I really love all 10 of my animal neighbors.

I haven't tried moving more than one at a time but from being all up in that menu all the time, they don't prevent you from trying to move another one IIRC... but dunno for certain.

When you pay to move one, you'll get a kit similar to ones for bridges/ramps. Wherever you put it will immediately be under "construction," so the building will reopen the next day. The building itself won't "close" as it's in the process of "moving."

Nook Miles can be converted to Bells tho.

Also in early/mid-game Miles are almost as valuable as Bells, depending on your goals.

Its 3000 which is a pittance tbh but hey.

And i agree with the value of nook miles especially in the early part but he also doesn't give much either with the most being half the value of a nook miles ticket after setting a plot that he takes 10,000 bells from you beforehand.

You will still be using the nook miles+ tasks and any nook miles stamps you have completed.

Watering flowers is becoming a chore since I went gung ho watering them every day to crossbreed. Now there are too many. Questions:
1. Aside from increasing chances of pollination or crossbreeding, how often should I water flowers?

2. I know upgraded can waters 6 flowers at a time, but does every flower needs to be watered (i.e. drips) for it to sparkle?

3. How long do flowers have to go before they whither?

Post by: Tasty on April 28, 2020, 06:34:51 PM
1. Dunno. Let things grow naturally and see what happens?

2. Nope, drips = sparkles.

3. Dunno but must be quite a while, I haven't seen any withered flowers and I haven't been obsessive about watering them...

Also if you let friends/visitors water them they get a boost that increases the chances of getting hybrids (the sparkles are bigger and more defined plus also golden instead of a small silver flash)

apparently 5+ people watering the same plant gives the highest odds

The whole hybrid thing exploded due to some recently data-mined information that found out how the hybridization process happens (some actual plant genes and shit) so you can get the ultra rare colors for each flower type.

I don't think I ever deliberately tried to get villagers to move out after the GameCube game (which I played experimentally-dickish sometimes.)

Even Rodeo in this game decided to move out of his own accord to make way for my Hopper amiibo. I basically stopped talking to him leading up to that tho lol.

That apparently doesn't work anymore and its just RNG so a villager you are bestest of friends with can just say they want to move away. So all that shit about ignoring, hitting them, sending trash is worthless.

You have ways to remove them such as

Using Amiibo Cards
Using the Campsite Villager that visits
Using Time Travel

Amiibo Cards is apparently the best way as you can choose who you want to replace. The only disadvantage is that the new characters don't have cards yet so you cant have them this way. Also another is that you have to buy the cards of the villager you want.

Campsite is another way but you can't choose who to replace as the guest will pick at random. You apparently can game the system though by closing the game while the box is up and trying again as they will try again and hopefully pick someone else. The disadvantage is that its a random character that appears at your camp site and you don't see much of those campsite visitors (at least for me) .


Time travel is a way you can use if you cant do the above 2. IIRC how that works is that there is a set number of days (10-15 or so) where the game will select a random villager that tells you they are gonna leave and you can stop them if you want. So you TT to around that day and see if anyone has a cloud over their head, if they do talk to them and see if they wanna leave.

If its the person you don't like then let them go, TT for empty lot, get your new villager, save then TT back and it should act like nothing happened. Otherwise you keep TT ing a day until you see someone with the cloud and they are asking to leave. The disadvantage is the risks of TTing in general and the wholesale murder of your Turnips if you have any since TTing backwards will spoil them instantly.

As you can see from my list I'm a compulsive hoarder, keeping 4x extra copies of some fossils "just in case"

Think keeping one spare copy of each fossil for a personal collection seems reasonable, maybe an extra few a select ones (Amber, australopith) for displaying

I've seen a couple of others mention how she never showed up too. They suspected she bugged out.

Mine was harder to find yesterday. Normally she hangs at the beach but I found her in the opposite side of the island on a 3rd level land.

CJ is here and its raining and i don't give a fuck  :success


Haven't played this is in weeks. Yikes. Shame I'm done with it, didn't even get to KK. It sucks I found this game so disappointing, I really wanted to love it. Glad others are having fun though!

Sucks to hear.  :-\

TBH I've been almost forgetting to play the last couple days and things are becoming a chore now that I've accomplished most of my goals, but this is what I expected and what always happens in AC. May step back for a bit and come back in force in a few months, depending on updates.

Interestingly, I'm petering out right when I've passed my New Leaf playtime total (325 hours), and that was over 7 years' worth...

I've been dealing with a weird issue and I was wondering if anyone here could help. Redd came to my town the day of the update and I talked to him, but I guess I didn't talk to him enough times to buy the painting from him. I have someone else playing on my island and I have no idea if they talked to him first or not, but they didn't get a painting from him and he hasn't shown up on my island since. I guess I'm wondering if there's a fix for this or if I'm just screwed

also, hit me up with turnip prices (I can buy them here for 108 bells today)

Yea not sure how that works if you didn't buy that initial painting and allowing the museum to be upgraded.

He's dependent on RNG now so maybe he will just appear but in the state where you can buy the painting from him?


I would also say check around online and see if other people are having the same issue.

I assume (but haven't checked) there's a Nook miles achievement for them, if that matters. That's about it, other than a new item

There’s a stamp rally coming

So you basically

spoiler (click to show/hide)
wander throught the museum and get 3 stamps per section (but not art). Then Blathers gives you a plaque for finishing. He does mentions "you found all the stamps today", which indicates you can do it every day. Not really that engaging for the few mintues it takes to find them all. I guess it's a good way to get people to go into the museum if they haven't already.

BTW June is the month New Leaf released in the States so I'm getting a ton of nostalgia from these new bugs and fish, haha. :D

When we hit July, like 90% of the bugs will be or have been attainable... Only 9 more will require waiting until Aug/Sep/Nov/Dec.

Also there's wedding stuff on Harv's Island to do! Get exclusive wedding furniture!

Got my last fossil natural a little while back and it felt pretty damn good.

Not doing much else besides taking advantage of my messy island to completely cover it in shit so I can make a rock garden. Not stressed about it though, a lot of failed spawns where I didn't have the right parts of my island covered.

Did catch a Great White right after I logged in, today. My first June fish. Scared the crap outta me as worse than the first Oarfish.

Did all my daily chores yesterday but forgot to log back in for KK and missed his concert for the first time in this game. 😭😭😭

I currently have 55 songs registered which means I have 40 more to go. Nook Shopping is nice for the daily score but actually not as good as fully upgraded Nook's in ACNL, which offered two random KK songs per day instead of just one. That said there's more "hidden" tracks in this game you have to request manually anyways... (or rather it's now possible to obtain airchecks for previous "live performance-only" songs, like Drivin'.)

Aaanyways looking forward to getting them all here like I did in NL last year. Took months of making sure to boot up the game on Saturdays but I got it done. 😤

Will keep a lookout for Dimetredon stuff for you dude.

How can you tell if the fossils are complete? Will blathers say anything?
Title: Re: ANIMAL CROSSING: NEW HORIZONS - Thread of Gaming Zen

I have the following fossil dupes. If anyone is interested in any of them. Let me know. I'll also take any of y'all dupes that I don't have. So share your updates lists plz.

Do you still have the Dimetredon torso? I need it (and the head I assume), looks like I've only got the tail and that's my last one to complete.

Yup he will. But I also ran through the museum and confirmed there was only one missing a few weeks ago too, so I knew if he was all "Oh my heavens a fossil I've never seen, well ruffle my feathers!!" then it'd be the last one. :P

I’ve used the QR code scanner for the first time. I was ok with being able to download one scanned design at a time, but I when I did so and saved the new design on top of the previous one (replaced an apple fruit marker with a peach) every spot I’ve used the peach marker was replaced with an apple.

Is this exclusive for the QR codes or all custom designs? If this happens to all custom design then I might be screwed, as I’ve used every current custom design somewhere on the island :(

its RNG apparently

I had that same scenario for most of my meteor showers to the point i had gotten the wand (aka the first Item) from Celeste on a friend's island and was able to make it immediately since i had the materials required.  :lol

She finally appeared eventually  :doge

Do I have you on my best friends list yet? If not we should meet up tomorrow. :3

Sure I’m free most of the day so whatever time works for you. I’m excited to see what a professional island looks like :lol

Purple Filth, I think some of my double recipes I listed a few posts up are summer recipes if you want any of them

Yes i would.

Thanks  :)

Ok, let me know what you want and add me as a friend. :) we should all meet on Tasty Island to do an exchange sometime today

Having a blast since the swimming update, and especially since my niece has been staying over the last few days. :heart

Gotta say though, local wireless in the same room has failed 6 out of 6 tries within the first minute or so... Online is slightly more stable, with Dodo Codes taking the crown for best stability across all our play sessions.

Anyways... Some pics I took. :3

I could only find 3 fossils today which I was mad about, but when Blathers assessed them it had the last fossil I needed, so I was quite happy about it.

Also Redd was back at my island for the second week in a row, but all his art was fake, which is the second time that has happened.

Got gold! I guess points persist across tournies cause I hit "300 points" after only getting ~100 today, which tracks since I got around 200 and silver last time (when I was salty lol.)

But I put my game to sleep with my gate open and it soft crashed and I think I still got gold but now I don't know for sure and I'm nervous. :lol

My museum still has my three new donations from today (only 10 left total!!) so I probably still am getting the gold trophy, but I won't know for sure until tomorrow... 😬

Thinking now it was the right choice to move ACNH from SD to internal storage, although actually... I wonder what the failure rate for the internal memory is vs. the SD card reader. :-\

Ugh thinking about this happening to anyone is a giant fucking bummer. All the stuff we traded. :(

I still have all our times together in photo/video form, but goddamn... goddamn...

Animal Crossing’s next summer update adds dreaming and cloud saves

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InDJvcWtTCw

Quote

The promised second summer update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons is coming very soon, and it brings with it some exciting changes. According to Nintendo, the two big gameplay additions are the ability to dream and new fireworks shows. Meanwhile, for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, a cloud backup system is also coming so you won’t lose your island.

For dreaming, Nintendo says players will be able to take a nap in any bed in their house. “While dozing off, you may find yourself in a strange realm where you’ll be greeted by Luna,” the company explains. “Luna offers visits to other islands as a dream, and with her help, you can share your island as a dream with others too. She will grant those who share their island a ‘Dream Address’ which players can exchange and use to visit each other’s island in a dream. In dreams, nothing is permanent because nothing you do is saved, so explore to your heart’s content.”

The fireworks shows will be a regular occurrence, meanwhile, taking place every Sunday evening in August at 7PM local time. Players will be able to buy raffle tickets during these events to earn prizes.

Perhaps the biggest part of the update, though, is the long-requested option for players to back up their islands via cloud saves. Here’s how Nintendo describes the feature:

    Nintendo Switch Online members can enable the new island backup service, which automatically uploads island and user save data to the internet at certain times. If your Nintendo Switch system is lost or damaged, you may be able to recover your island paradise as long as you’ve enabled island backup. In the event of loss or damage, contact Nintendo Consumer Support about restoring the island and user save data on your new or repaired Nintendo Switch system. After your island data and individual player data is restored, you can get back to building your island community.

The company also says that “a function specific to Animal Crossing: New Horizons to move users and save data to another system is planned for later this year. Details will be announced in the future.”

This will be the second major summer update for the game, following the recent addition of swimming. The update will be available starting on July 30th, and the company also teased a fall update for the future.

Would be great if they add this kind of back-up feature to Splatoon 2, too.

It's taking the best parts of NL and reincorporating them into NH but making it less tedious AND way prettier. 😍

Like instead of going to a specific "shop" to do Dream Suite stuff you just use your own bed (and possibly *any* bed on your island??)

Automatic cloud backups for NSO subscribers is a dream come true too. 😍

Finally, it's been like 14 months since they first were like "Yeah this won't support cloud backup..." at E3 2019 to "Maybe we'll do it" in November last year, to "it's coming" earlier this year, to "IT'S HERE!" Been a long road and I'm so happy we have cloud backups now. 😍 😍 😍

He was awake and walking around

It was cool seeing winter. I really like his pathways were set up to make his town square look bigger.

His house is amazing, towering over the island.

Broke in to check out his bathroom too. Very fancy! But again so many toilets haha.

Early game it’s just about familiarizing yourself with the systems. Work on your nook mile goals, hit all the rocks, plant the money tree, get your recipes, check in with the daily visitor, etc. while you’re going about your island catch bugs and fish along the way. Early goals I would say get your house expanded a bit and fill out your museum with any new critters you find. But there is no rush, your loan has no interest and can be paid back whenever you feel like it. It can take a while but you will eventually build up a routine and build up your crafting recipes, and then you can start planning and developing your island

Cool cool. I like catching bugs so far, have a big collection despite the museum still being under construction.

This is a super nice change of pace from the other stuff I've been playing lately.  :heart

Sorry for the n00b questions.

You need to open your island/they open theirs to visit either by opening to everyone or sending you a code. Then you can become in game friends.

They just added a feature though where you can visit someone elses island in a dream if they're not around though.

You actually have to visit their islands if you want to be able to send mail to each other/interact though, dreaming is just for looking around. I was in Pilonv’s dream and wanted  his lucky gold cat recipe, but it said you can’t learn recipes in dreams. (Which is bullshit because of how often my villagers say the idea for their recipes came in a dream  :lol )

If you need some resources let me know and I can stop by later today if you want.

The power of Google Photos... in the palm of my hands...

(Lol literally three days to upload my Switch's 11 GB media payload... -_-)

Protip: the Switch saves media at 720p max (photos and videos), which both fall under Google Photos' free limits, which means you can open a Google account and backup your Switch media at "full res" for free (without hitting the default 15 GB storage limit.)

Also, sad to see this thread slow down a bit. The other communities I'm apart of which have AC threads/channels have stayed fairly active. The updates are really doing a great job keeping things fresh every month or so. I'm extremely excited for Toy Day next month. :D

Halloween was a lot of fun! I played every day so I had like 30 candies going in. :lol Ended up crafting 1 of every color of every Spooky item that night, placing them all around town, then uploading my Halloween-night island to Dream Suite. Check it out! DA-8053-6297-4495

Also after 230+ days my Museum is coming together. I only have 2 bugs left to catch, 1 fish (pond smelt!!), 5 sea creatures, and... 29 pieces of art. -_- Last night I did get my final KK Slider song though (95 out of 95.) :D


Anyone else going for the seasonal recipes? I've been slacking on the acorn/pine cone stuff so last night I spent two hours shaking trees for materials lol.

Acorn/Pine Cone DIY recipes still needed:

- Tree's Bounty Arch (not spawning until Nov 16th)
- Tree's Bounty Big Tree (not spawning until Nov 16th)
- Tree's Bounty Mobile
- Yellow-Leaf Pile

Mushroom DIY recipes still needed:

- Forest Flooring
- Forest Wall
- Mush Lamp
- Mush Log
- Mush Low Stool
- Mush Table
- Mush Umbrella
- Mush Wall
- Dildo Mushroom Wand

Have:

Speaking of updates...

https://animalcrossingworld.com/2020/11/nintendo-confirms-more-new-animal-crossing-new-horizons-events-to-keep-players-playing-for-a-long-time/

Quote
The sales pace of Animal Crossing: New Horizons has eased compared to the period around its initial release, but among all our titles, this one continues to maintain high sales levels. As I mentioned in response to a previous question (Q7), this title is also driving Nintendo Switch hardware sales in Asian markets, which have relatively smaller sales numbers than the markets in Japan, the U.S. and Europe. Going forward, we will continue to implement in-game events and would like to create a situation where consumers will keep enjoying the game for a long time. This will be the first year-end sales season for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and we hope even more people will take that opportunity to purchase the game.

:lawd

Reminder that New Leaf got a pretty big free update three years after its release (Welcome Amiibo, Nov 2016.) I expect we'll continue getting monthly/semi-monthly free updates (like we have been) until the ~1 year mark (March.) At that time it starts becoming more likely Nintendo will introduce paid DLC or an expansion pass.

However, by that point New Horizons will be close to content parity with New Leaf (especially if Brewster and gyroids are in one of the next updates, as rumored), so having to purchase DLC will sting less. That said, I hope they're smart about it and they don't fragment the online playerbase any. (Going by the Pokemon expansion pass, they've taken care to avoid the situation there, which gives me hope.)

Man, that first game was magical. I know they say "there's so much less to do" but in a way it was more open-ended. And they're definitely right about the villager personalities being way more interesting.

Weird to think I've played far more of NH than the original game, but it still feels like I've played the original more... Just stands out in my memories so starkly.

Crazy we've already been through 3 of these, and the last one is only a few weeks away. :o

I strongly associate Animal Crossing with December and the winter season -- I got the GameCube game and City Folk for Christmas the year they came out, and I managed to convince my mom to get my sister and me Wild World on launch day a little earlier in the month than that (December 5th.)

New Leaf and New Horizons being spring/summer means I strongly associate different parts of the series with different seasons, haha. But I'm really really excited for winter in New Horizons!! :hyper

They last a bit longer but they're not worth the gold expense. More useful as trophies than anything, they're theoretically the hardest recipes to get in the game and thus the rarest items to craft.



Also pilons, buddy... you think you can open your gates come January? :heartbeat The last bug I'll need to catch is a giraffe stag, the one bug I missed last summer. If not that's cool, I'll just wait until July is here again. :P

Option 2: Resident Move (Single Player Transfer)

Use this feature if you wish to transfer just one resident to a new Nintendo Switch system. The resident, the resident’s home, and most items held by the resident and kept in storage will be transferred to an island on the new Nintendo Switch system. The island resident representative cannot be transferred.

Basically perfect for families that started with one Switch but now the kids have their own.

Splatoon 2 supports the normal Switch system transfer process, but it does not support cloud saves IIRC. I don't play Splatoon 2 tho so don't just go by me. :doge

AC was an outlier on launch because it didn't support cloud saves or transfers of any kind, even system-level. But now things are finally in an OK place. (Provided you've gotten over the one-island-per-Switch rule, which they seem adamant about NOT changing.)

Eh it's kinda fun and kitsch. I'm glad these events are a rare thing because completing them can be a PITA, but PITA complete-a-thons are kinda what AC is about lol.

If you don't use a guide or couldn't prepare/gather ingredients ahead of time I could see it being even more annoying, especially if you don't have much time to spend in-game case of the IRL holiday.

Finished the Turkey Day quests, took about two hours all told. I meant to prepare and gather ingredients ahead of time but too much IRL stuff happening lol.

It’s important to note that regardless of how much you “complete” Turkey Day, or even do any of it, you can still get the Turkey Day DIY recipes from Nook’s starting tomorrow and lasting until the end of the month. :) It’s a set that includes 8 recipes.

Now, there are four Turkey Day exclusive items (wall, rug, flooring, and cornucopia) that aren’t craftable, so you’ll miss those if you don’t participate today.

I’m glad these holiday events are rare. They’re kind of pain-in-the-ass collectathons but that’s kind of the Animal Crossing DNA lol. Fun but would be too much if too often.

Time to sit back and enjoy the meal. :)

Be sure to buy the seasonal toys in Nook's Cranny! There's eight types of toys, but lots of variations. However they work like the Nook Miles catalog items, where each variation is randomized and locked per island.

https://animalcrossingworld.com/guides/new-horizons/christmas-toy-set-furniture-items-at-nooks-cranny/

So check every day! There's some stockings and possibly other toys I'd like to trade with if possible!

Today I got the brown/yellow dinosaur toy, for the record.

Finished up my bedroom! This month's seasonal Aurora Wall was the perfect final piece!

My bedroom used to be a red/black imperial style with a ton of junk everywhere lol. One of my villagers Julian has the full Zodiac set (I'm not jelly... not at all...), but I like the balance I have here with the piano and bed. Going to be hard to find room for the remaining 6 pieces... though I suppose 2 can stick on the wall. :thinking

If this is canon it's blowing my mind. Redd at the same table as Nook?? In the next seat over?!?

They would have fucking knives at each others' necks if this were back in the GameCube days. :lol Guess being an uncle for 20 years mellowed Nook out a bit.

Tasty makes me want to play this again

No time like the present! You don't even really get penalized as much in this game for ditching it for long periods. AFAIK you have to explicitly give the OK to any villager before they're able to move out. Worst you'll have to deal with is some weeds I think.

The game had a good amount of content to start but now it's really coming into its own after all these free updates.

Whats the deal with inviting campsite visitors to your island? I thought you could just ask them and then pick who you want to boot out. Every time one of them show up I have to play a card game to get them to stay

Only one Ice Flooring DIY recipe from having the full Snowboy/Snowman set!

Festive recipes stop in two days (Jan 6th) and I'm still missing a bunch tho. 😨

- Festive Top Set
- Festive Tree (I got the Big version at least)
- Holiday Candle
- Illuminated Present
- Illuminated Snowflakes
- Illuminated Tree
- Ornament Mobile

The festive DIY recipes I do have I've crafted 100% of the variations for, at least. The illuminated reindeer look magical at night, especially all the colors. :)

I have my jailbars set up so I guess I'll just have to farm them sometime tomorrow. :shaq2

They're suuuuuuuper rare, to the point they'll probably already be flying away usually before you even see them. But yeah, if you ever catch one definitely let me know! Thanks man. :)

I've got the miyama stag and every type of cicada so far. Still haven't seen one

5pm to 8am my time, going to make it difficult for you to get one unless you're up early in the morning.

I will do whatever. It. Takes. 😤

Do they spawn on normal trees or just palm trees?

Also missed out on that giant moth

Palm trees, 5pm to 8am. I've read on some sketchy sites you "need to catch 100 bugs before it'll spawn," was never clear if that meant since the start of your playthrough or some other metric though...

Also some advice I read: "when the bug wiggles, move towards it. When it stops, you stop." It also looks like a miyama stag but slightly larger.

Remaining achivements! Purple for "grindy" and pink for time-gated ones.

I've officially entered my personal Animal Crossing endgame. The plan is to keep playing every day until the 1 year mark (March 20th), and then finally switch to playing weekly. I'm slightly looking forward to stepping back a little and taking a breather.

By my calculations, it'll take almost another year of weekly to play to fully 100% the remaining Nook Miles achievements and the Art Gallery (paying attention to KK Slider, villager birthdays, and Redd in particular), which means I anticipate keeping up the routine until early March 2022. That's not counting any big content updates Nintendo's going to do (free or paid, I'm there day one), but I'm counting that as gravy. And if it gets me to re-engage and play daily again, all the better.

Snow, snowboys, and the Frozen furniture DIY set are going away after Feb 25th too. 😭 Feels like they just got here. Snow only started sticking to the ground on Dec 11th...

5pm my time is 1am your time. Best bet is 10pm my time because I'm usually still away for another 45mins-1hr. If I just leave the Switch on it won't time out will it? Happy to leave it on overnight with the island open if so.

FYI I haven't seen one since I caught one. But I've not really been looking.

Today is the Lunar New Year apparently! According to my villagers today, anyways. :P

There's three new seasonal items (https://animalcrossingworld.com/2021/02/whats-new-in-february-for-animal-crossing-new-horizons-festivale-preparations-valentines-day/) you can only get Feb 10th to the 17th:

Quote
First, this holiday introduces a pair of Lucky Red Envelope and Bokjumeoni Lucky Pouch items in Nook Shopping that can be used to wrap Bells.

When you wrap Bells using one of these two items, the item is converted into either the Lucky Money or Sebaetdon items in your inventory. Then each converted item can be unwrapped to reveal some Bells, ideally for gifting to another player.

Secondly, a gorgeous Lunar New Year Decoration furniture item can be ordered for a wall-mounted decoration to celebrate the holiday.

I'm getting multiple Red Envelopes and Lucky Pouches, but probably only one or two Lunar New Year Decorations.

Dunno what it is but post-Festivale has been the first time since launch I've been struggling to boot the game up each day (still doing my daily routines though.) Accomplished all early and mid-game goals and now I'm just looking at various grinds until completion.

Pissed me off today for the umpteenth time Redd shows up with 3 fakes and 1 genuine piece that I already have. Nintendo really needs to fix the RNG to guarantee at least 1 new genuine piece of art, because Redd takes 2 weeks to show up and at the current pace it'll take checking in weekly for two more years before the museum is completed (by my calculations.) Ridiculous.

The Mario DLC looks nice especially warp pipes, and we don't know what else could be included, but it's such a paltry amount of content tbh. I'm holding out hope for a big last hurrah for the launch anniversary but I'll probably drop off hardcore after that.

Got some inspiration with the seasonal changeover and Ohana Isle has its first new areas in months! :D



(https://i.imgur.com/3oqhgE6.jpg)

(https://i.imgur.com/ZTC1jL6.jpg)

First up, taking a cue from the Able Sisters Cafe I set up last year, the Museum now has an expanded outdoor "overflow" area for both extra genuines as well as some fakes. If you see something you need let me know!



(https://i.imgur.com/AEeYsPR.jpg)

Since the first couple weeks I've been anticipating making a duel arena area, and now it's finally here! Might keep tweaking but really happy  with how it turned out. :)



(https://i.imgur.com/de1r6uD.jpg)

I needed the stairs from the Lighthouse for the new Museum area, so I decided to just extend a land bridge to the Lighthouse for easy access.



(https://i.imgur.com/QRKSKYs.jpg)

Almost have enough Lily-of-the-valley flowers to fill the entire community garden. :)

Hard to say. I wouldn't wait long.




Some new QoL features and Bunny Day items were announced as coming with the Sanrio content in 1.9.0, some are calling it the "Anniversary Update" since it's hitting on the 18th (two days before the 1-year mark.)

https://animalcrossingworld.com/2021/03/more-custom-design-slots-features-are-finally-coming-to-animal-crossing-new-horizons-march-update/

https://animalcrossingworld.com/2021/03/bunny-day-event-returns-march-26th-to-april-4th-with-new-easter-items-march-update/

- "Custom Design Pro Editor +" from Nook Miles Rewards doubles your custom designs from 50 to 100
- New types of items to use custom designs on: an umbrella, a small flag, a Japanese uchiwa fan, and a photo standee
- "Custom Designs Portal" from Nook Miles Rewards adds the Custom Designs app to your Nook Phone (no longer have to go when Able Sisters are open)
- New items for Bunny Day will be available to buy at Nook's, similar to some past holiday items

Not too exciting tbh, though I'm always pro adding functionality to the Nook Phone.

Tasty there will be a birthday on my island on Sunday (my time) that you won't have yet if you need some more. Can open it up like I did for the Giraffe Stag if you want to jump in.

Was up at 5:45, took 10 minutes of trying on the app but the kid is getting her pack of cards in her Easter basket.

Sounds like it was a shitshow, but I picked them up over lunch. Was kind of waiting for the order to get cancelled. They’ll go in her Easter basket alongside the Cat Peach Amiibo and some candy.

Fun to see NookLink progress since it launched. Used to be pretty barebones.

Only three more Gullivers until my golden shovel DIY... 😭

Then it's only a matter of time until I catch that fucking giraffe stag on July 1st and get the golden net, the final tool. :obama

Getting the golden tools is always early on my Animal Crossing checklist, but this time they definitely haven't made it easy or achievable early lol.

I stopped actively trying for them when I learned they only had double the durability of regular ones and gold drops at like 2%. Haven't had a nugget drop in weeks.

Finally got a golden watering can lately and it broke after a few days. Why am I bothering with golden tools?

Because it's another way to keep you playing. NH is designed to be this way.

It's a great reason why NH is such a bad Animal Crossing. The chill game turned into a work game. Broken golden can? Make another so the game doesn't end.

Moved places last week and ended up not playing this for a week and nothing of note happened besides some extra weeds. Think I've probably hit my limit now.

Approaching mine as well. Will probably stop checking in daily at the end of June if I had to guess.

For me I still really want to complete my Museum but that'll take another 10 months or so even playing every day at the current rate... Fucking Redd. :beli

Unless they're saving something big for E3... Otherwise these Year 2 events have been pretty lame.

FINALLY! Almost missed this fucking bug for the second summer in a row, wouldn't have been able to forgive myself if that happened tbh. :lol

Whew. My Critterpedia is done. 3 out of 4 wings of the Museum are now complete. Going forward, will concentrate on KK on Saturdays and checking in for Redd art. The rest of the Nook Mile achievements I need to do are things I can grind sometime down the road.

Over 1 year straight isn't bad, at least.

New content would definitely be appreciated. I'm treating this like past ACs and not modern GaaS though.

Yeah the first year was fine. Still had that new smell. But it wore off every quickly even for an AC game

I want to agree with you but it's hard considering I've played NH waaaayyyyy more than past games. And it's not *only* because they added some grind, or because there was a good online community at the start.

We hope for the peaceful purification of all souls release of Animal Crossing DLC 🙏
