I remember being so disappointed when I played NL for the first time, but I can't remember why. The game is very good and I've tried going back to WW, it didn't age well at all.
Sadly my little cousin deleted my town so I haven't played in a loooong time, this thread might motivated me to start all over again tho.

I think I liked WW better because it had a lot more different dialogues.

With E3 just being around the corner, do you guys think that it will be announced?

I mean around this time you get tons of rumors popping up here and there about various games being announced by Nintendo but AC is kind of a thing that many, many people are super certain of that 2018 will be the year that Animal Crossing is coming to the Switch. Thoughts?

No. 9051

I have literally been praying for an announcement for months now. Bought a switch for it (played other games in the meantime of course but I'm convinced AC is coming our way).

I have a really long commute to work and all I want is to relax and build a cute town!

So yeah, very confident we will get a switch AC - it's the perfect platform for it and it's been over 5 years since NL.

hopefully nintendo will be smart enough to realize people will drop some cash for a new AC game. new leaf was fantastic in my opinion and building up improvements on it will be so great. i realllllyyy hope the next AC will let you have more control over buildings….like having an unlock list for public works projects rather than having neighbors suggest them to you because that rng sucks so bad. i also want the ability to decide where your neighbors build their houses because ive had too many areas ruined by some asshole wolf moving in right where i had a garden or where i planned to place a public works project

Seriously. I'm usually against cheating, but I ended up using a save editor to move those dickhole villagers' houses out of my way. I've had so many villagers move directly in front of my bridges, completely blocking the paths.

NL actually fixed that after the welcome amiibo update. any patterns on the ground are recognized by the game so no one moves in on them or anything anymore. so now if you have spaces you want to reserve, just put cute decorative gardens in that area!

I sort of want to get Home Designer, but it feels like it might end up being an impulse purchase (like 3DS Nintendogs, Mario Kart, etc). Plus I don't see copies with the amiibo reader included anymore, which is part of the appeal, especially with the Welcome Amiibo update in NL.

>>9048
>i think treehouse has been going down in quality more recently
Do you mean how so many of the conversations in CF and NL were just about food, when WW was more diverse? (Not sure about the original Gamecube one, since it's one I haven't played) I might be mixing this up, but apparently Treehouse took a lot of liberties in localizing WW, when the original JP version had a shit ton of food conversations.

I'm reaching, but I feel like the backlash against localizations with massive changes is a reason why they've (likely) stuck to the Japanese script for recent titles. Hopefully the Switch game departs from the current trend…

No. 9060

I'm honestly still upset there was no main game on Wii U. I got a Wii U specifically for the New Animal Crossing, only to be given a mediocre party game. I'm glad we got Pocket Camp as a little setback, but I'm ready for a console release.

I recently tried getting back into City Folk, that game wasn't that great either. I hated how there was no Gamecube controller support.

New Leaf is still entertaining, but the charm died down for me after a couple months since I already had a bunch of stuff unlocked.

I could never get into CF as a kid. Making custom designs wasn't fun, fishing/catching bugs felt weird, and talking to the animals was the worst in the series. I remember having an insanely hard time making money too, the wiimote made everything even more inconvenient.

>>35321

The last time they announced a special switch bundle, they did it right away when they did a bigger presentation on the related game. I think when the switch smash bundle was announced it was done at last year's E3 when it was mainly about Smash, so if there would be a AC bundle to come, they would've announced it by now - in my opinion.

But I also hope that there will be one or at least some Joy-Cons because if there is something I hate about the Switch it's the lack of cool designs like we never got a Zelda one. I want the same kind of variety as the 3DS(XL) had.

No. 35338

Hate to be negative about this but this looks like animal crossing with all the life sucked out of it. The instagram filter look on it looks like an eyesore and the minecraft mechanic is way out of place. If I wanna play minecraft or stardew valley, I will. Hope it's not as bad as city folk.

No. 35347

I agree. I couldn't stand pocket camp because of the annoying crafting mechanic (and the microtransactions). I am just not really looking forward to this as much as I want to. I thought the "island package" was some sort of DLC, not the actual game. I hope we still have a river at least?

No. 35359

Not sure how I feel about crafting, just yet. Being able to craft furniture might make the decoration/housing aspect of the game more satisfying, but the tedium of it (especially if the real-time aspect means waiting days for resources to replenish) might not be worth it. I'm trusting the development team, though, after they gave us Splatoon 1/2.

Current Mood

No. 36384

I personally just wanted more customization and a lot more work on the personalities of the villagers. Maybe each villager having their own specific dialog rather than just personality types, for instance. More events, more collections and maybe a better way of showing them. Maybe some kind of shop mechanic where you run your own store. Stuff like that.

Crafting doesn't do anything for me. It's a negative even.

The variety in foliage looks amazing however and I'm looking forward to decorating outdoors as well as indoors. Grinding for bells then spending them to unlock shops then grinding more for each clunky town upgrade etc sucked for me so I won't miss any of that if they exclude that shit from the new title entirely.

I love overgrown looking towns and I hacked the fuck out of mine to get the layout and feel I wanted out of it in ACNL. This new game looks like it will let me achieve that nice lush look without hacks and I'm into that! Animal Crossing has always been about escapism and relaxation for me so if the crafting system isn't too obnoxious I'll probably still enjoy the new title.

No. 36437

i don't get people bitching about the crafting aspect, the entire game is collecting and selling shit, the crafting just cuts out the middle man, like collecting 3 pieces of wood to craft something, rather than having to sell 3 fish. i personally like the idea of not relying on expensive beetles to decorate my town/house. and i'm especially excited about being able to just make tools! plus it looks like you can just buy stuff outright from nook anyway but we'll see.

the annoying stuff about pocket camp is that there's no more game there. the crafting is annoying because of how limited it is to push the microtransactions. but either way, i think the demo was just super limited since the devs didn't want to really show much.

No. 36438

>>36437
>thinks the only way to get money is selling beetles.
No one wants the crafting, dude. This shit needs to go, there's plenty of other games for people who want to craft. It's a huge timewaster, not a replacement for making money.

No. 36501

>>36437
I think the real issue was that the beetle->money->furniture loop itself is also just really boring. Crafting isn't going to be less boring.

I said it earlier but I really think the new game should have introduced more minigames in the form of "jobs" to the game. ACNL had that cute cafe and I liked getting even that tiny bit of minigamey interaction between my character and the NPCs. A more robust system where you can run a store, work as a barista, design clothes or homes, etc. would be amazing. Animal Crossing is about decorating, experiencing the comfy seasons, and interacting with the cute animals.

Crafting is a step in the right direction as opposed to the old bell loop but I think a job system would have made it far better.

No. 36504

God, the more I watch videos about the new game the more impatient I get about it. The fact that you can customize and craft really so much really gets me. I also get the impression that you can make a much bigger progress from the beginning to create your own town, so it really depends on yourself how much time you invest into it. Also the fact that you can tell villagers where they can move is just such a wonderful thing! I'm so excited about the shops that you can built in your town, so can basically built your own shopping mile on this island or even a small town with everybody included fuck yeah.

The fact that we have to wait around 9 months for this game to be delivered is kind of like we all expecting it like our own child lol

I'm just really excited.

He was my bullying victim in my NL town.
Whenever my friend came over we'd hit him with our nets repeatedly and because we were dumb teenagers at the time, we made up this story of him stalking the other villagers and being a general creep and that our player characters were sailor scouts that had to stop him, lol.

Now, ironically, I look at Kurt fondly because of those memories with my friend.

I'm really excited for this game, I just hope that it kind of recaptures that casual campy feel of the originals. New Leaf was great with offering new customization to our towns but people kind of became obsessed with having a perfect town full of the same 'cute' villagers over and over again. Back when I did some online play someone literally thought I ruined their town because one of my villagers moved into theirs and didn't fit in their town's astethic. The whole point of AC is to kind of escape with your own little town and meet new villagers. I hope these games are more relaxed this time around.

The game looks like the tutorials will be a breeze to go through. I wish they at least focused on a new character and their personality.
Do you think any new personality types are going to be revealed? I do wonder how many new villagers are going to be in the game and if any old villagers they took out in previous games will come back.

It will prob make sound like a salty fan girl but Smash and ugh Pokemon get their directs all the time, why not Animal crossing? And yes, we are almost there and all I know are theories from AC fan youtube channels and a bit here and there confirmed information from Nintendo. I really hope that we get an AC direct because if Smash can get one to broadcast the same fight animation for 10 minutes, so can AC and show us a bit more than we know now. I don't want to get the game and know nothing til little how to do proper progress in the game idk I also hope that ALL characters are coming with us, even the ugly ones. I hope that they don't pull a pokemon here and say at first that they couldn't put all characters in the game but then come back and let you know that you can get your characters but with paying some $$$ to them have them all.

I'm contemplating getting the AC Switch. I already have one and my boyfriend and I share, but he barely plays with it so it's probably not gonna be a big deal when I start playing daily. I'm not concerned about the battery life, majority of the time I play handheld I'm close to an outlet because everything else I use also has a battery lol. However, there's a few games coming out for Switch in a few months my boyfriend's been excited for so I have no idea if he's gonna be playing them for long.

Another thing, my sleep schedule is out of wack because I work third shift. I really do hope the opening and closing time for shops is more lenient. My normal wake times are from 8pm to 11am, pretty much the opposite of every shop's open hours. I don't know how this will affect my Animal Crossing experience since we can't change the time anymore.

Oh shit, they're taking away time travel? I totally missed that. Lame. Good thing my switch is hacked anyway so hopefully someone in the scene will come up with a workaround.

I'd say if you have the money, treat yourself and get yourself the AC edition. It'll be nice to have your own console and that way you and your boyfriend can play as much of your respective games without feeling guilty that you're hogging it from the other person. Plus I'm sure the special AC edition will hold high value so if you realize later that you don't need two consoles just resell it.

>one town per switch
not a problem for me but it seems pretty stupid/inflexible
>no save data transfer
hope my switch doesn't fuck up then. Would this mean I can't transfer my save to another SD card? I had to do that when I initally got my 3DS due to the low storage on the original SD card
>no cloud backup
no excuse not to have this…this is a game that would really need a cloud backup. The amount of time I invest in my town, losing it would be devastating. Why does Nintendo care so much about animal crossing manipulations? It doesn't affect other players if someone chooses to cheat to get certain items, bells etc. so this crack-down seems over-the-top.
>no local backup
really? For fuck's sake

I really hope nintendo at least look into some sort of backup system. Just anything to reassure me that my town would be safe, I would be so upset if something happened to my save and there were no way at all to recover it.

yeah, it really sucks and you can only pray that your switch won't die because otherwise you are fucked. And given the fact that the switch is such susceptible system isn't helping at all.

I went down a weird deep dive for amiibos a couple of months ago and found out that amiibo spoofing was a thing. There's a subreddit dedicated to it and here's the guide on how to do it if you want to check it out: https://www.reddit.com/r/Amiibomb/comments/5ywlol/howto_the_easy_guide_to_making_your_own_amiibo/

I considered it because I wanted BOTW amiibos but they're butt expensive nowadays and I don't really want to have to dedicate space and more money to collecting a fuck ton of mini figures just to have in-game goodies. I assume the aliexpress ones might be spoofed too. There's stuff out there with very high res images of the amiibo cards so you can actually get nice paper and make them look super legit if you would like.

I was originally set on C because I liked the three areas ponds/area where the streams start, but it might be kind of annoying to have everything so seperated by so many streams. It looked like in the direct that they might be like mini waterfalls which I thought was super cute so that's why I want so many of them lol.

Maybe B or E are my top picks now though. Shopping area would be in the lower right hand corner, housing would be all along the left side, and then the upper right hand corner would be a spot where I would change out the furniture depending if there was special event or just changing it depending on the season. Or maybe have a cute little outdoor garden area over there. I'm also definitely setting up my house on the cliff side. I really wanted to do that in New Leaf but that fucker Puck already set his stupid house there.

I can achieve a similar layout with F so that's also a contending map, but I like the idea of having a front facing waterfall and a side waterfall rather than two front facing ones. A would be nice too, but I think having an extra stream makes for a weird disconnect on the upper left hand side. But the cute little side facing mini waterfall tempts me…

I'm so sorry about my sperging. I'm thinking way too much about this but I'm so fucking excited for this game and I want to make the perfect little island getaway.

This whole thread made me want to buy a switch just to play animal crossing so bad. I never wanted one before but now I’m seriously considering it. Why are farmers the best saleswomen?

No. 76860

>>76794
I think buying a switch just to play animal crossing sounds okay. I'm not saying you should since they're expensive, but if you have the means to do so, it's not a bad idea. Some people don't like the idea of buying a whole console for one game, but to me, animal crossing never truly has an end so I get a lot of out of it. Other games have a set ending, and their DLC have endings, but with animal crossing? The end doesn't exist because you can continue to do whatever the fuck you want. Maybe you set your "end" to be making a perfect town, but suddenly decide your perfect town isn't to your liking after you finish it, then you can spend the time to redesign the entire thing. I can pick it up or drop it whenever I want with minimal consequence (maybe it'll take a few hours or days to freshen up my town and remove all the weeds and whatever).

It's a really nice and cozy game. 10/10 absolutely worth buying a whole console for it imo. I borrowed my cousin's 3DS to play new leaf, but loved it so much that I bought my own 3DS and she very graciously gave me her copy of the game because she saw how much I loved it. I did buy some other games afterwards, but just to be able to play new leaf was a good enough reason to purchase one. If you don't want the special edition switch, I'd recommend checking out ebay (have seen them go for $150-$200 depending if gen 1 or gen 2, upwards to $300 but those usually are a great bundle deal with lots of games and extra controllers) or getting a refurbished one directly from Nintendo (it's only like $30 cheaper, but you also get Nintendo's warranty in case it goes to shit).

No. 76871

I thought the same aswell until I checked the price of a switch, they're so expensive what the heck? I can afford it but I can't justify nearly 400 euro for just the console and 1 game as a super casual gamer, I think I'll stick to animal crossing pocket camp on my phone.

It's also confirmed that you can move your house later, so there is that. Also things that you can't move

- Resident Services / Town Hall
- Dodo Airlines Airport
- Beach Dock (left or right)

>It's possible Resident Services can be moved but I've yet to see any evidence and it's a pretty giant plot, so I'm guessing no!

you didn't sound like a furry weirdo or anything, don't worry! it's sad that people can't even express how they think a video game character is cute without having to worry someone might think they wanna fuck that character. daisy mae IS cute, she's frigging adorable, in the same way babies and kittens are. I want to adopt them and protect them, not fuck them. sucks that has to be clarified these days. degenerate furry pedos ruin everything.

>disappointed we dont have that extra bit of inclusion
I’ve only played since acnl, but even then they let players wear clothing irregardless of their gender. Now you can switch genders at will and that’s still not good enough for them?? I want these fuckers to name one game as big as animal crossing that lets for gender switching at will or lets you choose to be gender neutral. Nothing will ever be good enough for these people and I hope someone steals their switch.

No. 77432

>>77410
I'm not sure you can change genders at will. I think it's just at the start so the characters know to call you he or she. you can change your appearance in mirrors but I don't think you can change gender. like you said though, you can wear whatever you like in-game, you can make your character pretty androgynous/non binary looking whatever you want to call it. maybe being called he or she will trigger they/them people. idk honestly, I imagine some will say it does

tbh people are expecting too much from a game series that is only just adding an option for choosing your skin colour lol

I need help with a question about my island name. ever since the first ac my town has been called Aubelle. but I think it's a bit villagey and doesn't suit an island so I was trying to think of new names and I came up with Moreau, as in the H.G. Wells book. I think it could be cool to go with a kinda dark theme and to consider the characters as vivisected experiments BUT I'm not sure I want to ruin the innocence of the game like that, as it's escapism for me. any opinions?

Okay so going to be critical for a bit…
I’m not a fan of the crafting mechanic. I’ve always been happy with the way the games were before, but having to run around and fix my tools because they broke from me trying to get more material to create items to let people move in (diy items that I have to put outside and don’t even care to have in my town) is really redundant and not fun to me. I’ve liked just chilling, catching fish, collecting fruits and bugs and buying stuff from that. Creating things myself does nothing for me. I’m mad because now I’m one of those “the original was better!” fags. I think I disappointed myself by overhyping it in my mind.

I don't mind crafting generally, but I HATE the tool durability. Constantly having to worry about when my tools are going to break and if I have enough resources to make them drives me fucking insane. I hate it so much.

Guys, I love this fucking game so much. I've binge playing this game for three days straight now I do love it so so much. So much details and just so much life in everything and all those possibilities it's aahhh I love, I really do.

BUT

I agree with all the anons here about the tool durability. What. the. fuck. is that. Why does my water can commit suicide after watering three tulips? I get that they tried to make it more ~realistic~ but c'mon that's ridiculous. As mentioned, this is Breath of the Wild all over again, why should I get the damn master sword even when it's going to break at some point? The same thing with golden tool here: What's the point? Now I only carry the several of the cheapest ones in my pockets bc why waste my materials on something that I can't use after my daily routine? I also feel like it really stops my gaming flow. Whenever I want to spend some time catching stuff or whatever I do maybe like fishing 5 fishes and then I can run back to craft a new fishing rod … Idk I feel like I need to get used to but other than that I feel like you can make a lot progress when you do shit tons of stuff. Loving the nookmiles thingy.

Digital is a bit more convenient (especially now that so many things are shut down), but a pro of physical copies is that you can resell games when you're done with them. And Nintendo games hold their value especially well. But if you don't think you're going to get sick of AC or if you're not someone who cares about having physical collections to hold and look at, just go digital. That way you can have the game in like 15 minutes without even getting up from your couch.

No. 80586

I feel like the developers tried to make this game's playability last longer than New Leaf by making it feel slower, but they're going about it in some frustrating ways.

Adding tool durability will give players an incentive to spend time crafting and building more–but not telling you when your tools are gonna break is inconvenient as hell (and don't get me started on the fact that gold tools can still break for some reason). Making it so that you start off with a few villagers and buildings might make people check in more often throughout days and weeks to come, but why the fuck are there only two villagers to begin with? They get passive aggressive when you interact with them too much, but who else am I supposed to talk to on a barren island you dumb animals? Also why give players the power to make pro design in as short as a few hours, but make them wait days and possibly weeks to be able to buy better clothes and send out designs?

I could go on but I've rambled too much. I agree with some of the anons here about being disappointed in some things far.

I miss the older characters too. What's with New Horizons scrapping them and/or replacing them with child/younger counterparts. It's not necessary at all and doesn't add a new dimension to the series in any way.

Nintendo's really trying to force Tom Nook down people's throats this time around. It started becoming more apparent on social media and now that's an established fact with this game.

"Okay but how does the way I play the game affect you?"

"….well, it's not how the developers designed the game!"

"Well developers don't account for speed runners but they still play how they want, you gonna tell the speed runners they are playing the games wrong?"

"Well, it's cheating!! You are supposed to take it slow!"

"It's not cheating, if the devs didn't want anyone to time travel they would have removed the ability for us to change the time for the game."

Now since people have been giving them some (sorry for the word) valid arguments they resort to this

"OMG YOU GUYS ARE POSTING TOO FAR AHEAD IN THE GAME FOR US TAKING IT SLOW!!!!1!"

"Yeah and people are using the spoiler tags, just ignore those posts!"

"NO, YOU SHOULD BE BANNED FROM POSTING!"

Never mind the first 3 days of that sub were the same posts of everyone catching an oarfish or the Ceolacanth. That's it, every post on that sub was just photos of fish.

Going to other people's islands through reddit forums is INSUFFERABLE. Every time a new person enters the island everyone has to wait literally 2-3 minutes for their character to arrive. One time I sat staring at my switch for 15 minutes because 8 people came in one after another and the game wouldn't even let me leave the island so that I wouldn't have to sit in agony. Something about this new game makes it feel like none of your work is worth anything if no one sees it. The characters have no strong personalities and also… Tom nook is way too nice in this version.

I LOVE the new museum! the fossil exhibit is beauuutiful. some of blathers descriptions for the rare fish are anticlimactic. I was hoping he would get excited about the fossil fish at least. but the people who wrote them may not have known the rarity of the fish beforehand so its ok.

I hate most of the music. it sounds too much like splatoon bgm.

the dialog has reached an all time low. my animals are excruciatingly boring, its like they're just sentient furniture that do random cute things and give me DIY recipes I will never make. being able to move their houses is nice but it cements that. its more fun to stare at them than it is to talk to them. </3

isabelle is useless in this game. the only point of her being here is to be a meme waifu.

for the most part the crafting isn't fun, it's just inconvenient.

I miss porter. he was my fave.

the mountain part of the island is sort of ugly. Im just farming up there because Im afraid buildings would look make them look even more ugly.

I'm really enjoying the game overall but I agree with the villagers personalities. They don't say much new but I do like what they do around town cause it looks really cute.
I also hate crafting, it's so annoying when you see a big fish or rare bug just after your net or fishing rod broke. I do really like the new deposit box outside of nooks cranny but I've seen the updated building and I hate the way it looks inside and I never want mine to upgrade.
At this point I'd give it 7/10 because its help keeping me sane during this self isolation and panic but there are definitely negatives in the game.

I've been a long time fan of this franchise but NH feels really souless and grindy. I do not like the dialogues (yes, the fact that animals got more animation is cute, but that doesn't replace that their personalities are boring and the same), items durability (even tho that makes sense) and Isabelle is completely useless here. I am pretty far in game because I've been pulling all-nighters and spent way too much time playing during the past 6 days, unlocked both stores, bridges, museum and residence building. Does the game have more buildings to offer? Doesn't seem like so.

Also, how much time of ignoring a certain villager will make them want to move out? Some say 3 days.

It's not as _amazingly good_, as people who never played previous AC games or played only PC claim, but it's aight.

I have a soft spot for Gala since she was in my CF town which was the first game I got to play (she never came to my NL town though). I also love basically all froggy villagers, and I have yet to have her in my town but I really want Mallary!

I really wish they had added a new personality. I haven't been able to play NH yet but I spent a long time on NL and the dialogue/personalities became predictable so it would have been nice to have something else to spice it up.

>>80599
>none of your work is worth anything if no one sees it

I never thought about it like this but I agree. I remember in CF it was enough for me to just have happy villagers, I didn't feel like I was missing out for not having online play. In NL too, for the most part. But from what I've seen this game feels less about having an insular 1P experience than it does about flexing and buffing up your town to play with others, since by all accounts the villagers are lacklustre.

I also feel like the villagers are borings as shit. At least in New Leaf they had meaningful moments, flirted with the characters or said silly things, even if the dialogue wasn't as clever as in Wild World.

Now I don't even talk to my villagers. The other day one of them said to me: ""I'm going for a walk!! Just like that, one foot in front of the other!"
What the fuck. I tried to talk with another villager and she said: "What a nice day! Nice days are always good for the health."

And THAT'S IT. Also, they don't notice you that often, maybe once in a million years. It's frustrating.

There's a lot of characters left out right now disappointingly.

I mean like how everyone and everything is super pleasant. Japan is basically 1950s America, so they have this idea that everyone in their society should act like a well-paid customer service representative, no emotions all smiles. But I also think that the localizers have a lot to do with that honestly. The Japanese dialogue is still a bit better, more stilted like I'm used to. I also hold issues with the fact that a few fish are just named entirely wrong species but that's whatever. The localization in this game to me is just weird because in earlier games they tried to localize too much stuff away from being Japanese (such as making Marcel a mime, when he's clearly a noh actor) but are also making the dialogue way more cutesy. My peppy villager did say something about beating Gulliver with a stick though, so I dunno.

I saw those "Yeah I don't time travel! I have the PATIENCE to take things slow and PLAY THE INTENDED WAY!" lmao give me a break.

the amount of "Omg relatives died during Corona, I had a funeral for them in game!" "My girlfriend and I separated because of corona but together in the game!" "Hey wanna see my shitty QR codes from insert video game here!" "WANNA SEE MY STEVEN UNIVERSE/UNDERTALE PATTERNS?" or just general nonsense that clogs the thread. The damn posts about people catching 'rare' fish is still ever present "HAS ANYONE CAUGHT THIS!?" yeah a shit ton, it's been a week now.

I hope they update villager dialogue, it's a little stale. Maybe it takes them awhile to really open up? one nitpick, I have cranky villager and he isn't as cranky as they used to be in other games. Kind of sucks lol Not expecting him to be mean but to be actually cranky, you know?

I think it's really good as a modern Animal Crossing. Looks nice, feels good, it's exactly what I expected. I played Pocket Camp for a bit and I had more problems with that than New Horizons. I was really relieved that there's no microtransactions in NH since it was so heavily pushed in PC. I agree that the people saying it feels barebones are playing all day every day, but that's never really been AC's style. Even in the old ones, if you played for long periods of time, eventually you "run out" of stuff to do for a bit.
I also really don't mind the tool durability and crafting. I actually like being able to craft stuff as needed rather than waiting for it to show up in a shop. I do wish I could buy DIY recipes for stuff I need (in order to build Item A, I need Items B and C, but only have the recipe for B so far, etc). But with the tool durability, maybe just don't craft/buy the tools labeled FLIMSY and you'll find they don't break as often?

I agree w u. I really don’t mind if people time travel but for me, part of the personal appeal of the game is the waiting. There’s something to look forward to every day. A new bridge built, a building renovated, an expanded house, a new fruit tree grown. Gives me something I want to wake up for. That’s why I think many people with depression really enjoy it. And the fishing/bug catching, while requiring minimal effort, is a nice repetitive action that I can do even when I’m upset or anxious. I think if you’re coming into animal crossing looking for something exciting or absolutely captivating, you’re picking up the wrong game. Play it for an hour then play smash or something. I personally like to catch and sell fish while I watch YouTube or browse lolcow

I went to the Harvey's photoshoot island and it was..confusing and kind of pointless. I agree with the person who said that the islands aren't very diverse. I went to one with bamboo and that was pretty cool but now all that's left from what I hear is tarantula island which… I've been to at least 8 islands so far using nook miles and haven't found it.

I'm a veteran Animal Crossing fan. I've played every game and have spent an embarrassingly large percentage of my life playing this series. I don't like NH that much. I agree with other anons that it feels kind of empty, and something about it makes it feel like a demo rather than a full game. It's lacking some of the heart that the previous games had. I 100% put that on the villager interactions (or lack thereof) Villagers and special characters make the game and we just didn't get that this time around.

I've had it over a week so I will say I like it more now than I did the first few days, but I'm not in love with it and will probably go back to NL or replay the GameCube version instead.

I’ve been playing AC since Population Growing and tbh.. I love NH.. it feels a lot slower starting out for sure, but I got it on release day and it’s only gotten better over the past week. My villagers are more interactive with me, they randomly give me gifts or show me new emotions and I’ve gotten a few tasks/games. They even talk about things I did the day before and compliment my clothes or give me new accessories to go with what I just changed into. Super cute imo. My real complaint is that I haven’t gotten a single special island like the tarantula one or the hybrid flower one and I swear I’ve been to at least 20 of them by now.. maybe I just have shit luck. Decorating my home is a million times more fun, but damn does that 2nd floor upgrade cost SUCK (1.2 mil bells). I’m a nonessential worker and my school has reverted to strictly online so I’m playing an excessive amount lol.

kk wrong because Time Travel absolutely gives them variety in their dialogue. It's not that you have to time travel but with time travel more shit gets done and they'll comment on it. I even have had a nickname given to me by Plucky, I'm Gigajolt.

I know that ignoring villagers for like 2 weeks will make them auto leave in acnl, and it probably works in new horizons too, but my stupid peabrain can’t do it. No matter how much I don’t like a villager, no matter how much I know they are just pieces of coding and not real and don’t have real feelings, the idea of ignoring them makes me so fucking sad. Like, all I can imagine is them moving in and setting up their home, but then no one befriends or talks to them. They just made this new move to a deserted island by themself! Maybe they have good gifts or recipes to share! But oh, no one wants any of their stuff, no one wants to befriend them. So they pack up their homes, without so much as someone coming by to even say goodbye to them.

Sorry I think my period is coming and I’m extra emotional lol. There are definitely villagers out there that I don’t like, and I think the posts of people leaving easels with mean shit like “YOURE UGLY” outside the homes of villagers they hate or trapping them with fencing is really funny, but fuck man. I have villagers I definitely want to get (mainly just want Colton, and Kyle would be nice too) but I feel so sad just thinking about having to ignore villagers so they’ll leave and make room lol.

This is the first AC game I've played. I like giving my islanders gifts, I know Dom likes iron nuggets and I gave him a weight bench, but sometimes the "Do you want this?" option comes up and all I have are my tools. I've given away all my tools; shovel, fishing rod, net, axe, just because I clicked "never mind" once and Plucky seemed really upset and I just can't bear to ever do that agin.

Samefag but has anyone had any success moving in villagers via amiibo cards? I scanned in Ankha today and when I asked to move in she said she needed to visit more…

No. 81114

Heads up, that option will generally come up the first time you talk to them in a day. If you don't want/have furniture or clothes to give to them then just make sure you have some fruit in your inventory and you can give them that instead. I've only ever gotten bells in return but they seem pretty happy to receive it and it's a good alternative if you don't want to clog up their house with fish/bugs.

Gotta do it three times before they'll move in.

not yet, but you can try to gauge what to give them based on their personality, their house decor and their favorite colors.
ie bright colored peppy villagers like pastel/cute things, lazy villagers like vivid colorful weird items and food, normal villagers like books and comfy decorations.
sometimes they'll care more about the item's theme (jock, cute, japanese, ect) over of the color, even if it's their favorite color.
I can't get kid cat to place any red items that aren't exercise equipment, for example, but he'll wear anything red I give him.

Maybe I'm just a dumbass for not realising it before but I got the Able Sisters today and I'm kind of pissed that you need a Nintendo Online subscription even to get other people's creations by code. I could sort of understand needing it for QR codes from New Leaf etc since they decided to do that through the app but it's pretty shitty that you need it to do anything even remotely related to other players, especially since animal crossing is such a community-based game.
>inb4 "it's $20 a year just pay for it"
it's the principle of it. I already paid a lot for the game and don't have many friends who play it so I was ready to pay for like a month so I could get all fruits etc. I don't want to pay that much extra to keep up a subscription I won't use for anything else just in case I see some cute dresses I want.

I just want to hustle for bells but it ain't easy when you don't have a constant source of income. Yesterday I was lucky to score the tarantula islands so I could go home with around 300k bells but I would like to have this type of thing every day but not every island I visit is meant to make money so I just end up collecting flowers and go home lol

I also have to ask a few things:

How long goes the Sakura event? It's my second day in a row without a sakura recipe and I really want the lamp ones. I got all sort of diy recipes but nothing sakura related. The normal baloons only drop the ugliest clothes …

Another thing: Tomorrow I will invite a amiibo villager for the third time on my camp site, this means they will want to move on my island. Does it mean that I have to set up a piece of land first for them to move in or do you have to put up a tent for them first?

buy land plot from nook, set it up, and then invite the amiibo villager. they might ask you to craft another DIY recipe but if it's the third day they'll mention they'd like to move in.

if you don't have the plot set up for them, they'll comment about how there's a lack of space. you can always go to Tom Nook and buy a plot of land and set it up, and then return to the amiibo camper and mention you've set it up for them now.

I personally kick out villagers only if I don't like their personality. For example, I can't stand snooty type because of the way they act and the fact that they always argue with my villagers.

People want to say time travel ruins the experience for this game - I disagree, specifically for this month. So I TT'ed a day at a time a few days ahead during March. Not really because I wanted to get stuff before other people, but because I wanted to fill my island out with villagers and I have to say, it was soooo much better before the Bunny day event. Basically if you wanted anything seasonal like the cherry blossom set or young bamboo good luck. Every other balloon or villager recipe is Bunny day. Every other fish or rock or wood drop is eggs. Even on the random islands. I was lucky I found half the cherry blossom set recipes before this because I've only found maybe two more since this event. This event also messes with the fishing tornament beause it overlaps so good luck trying to fish in the ocean without pulling up eggs. I get that wanted to give people more time for events but I reallly hope they are not all this intrusive. I honestly might TT through the event and finish it and go back in time jus to see if it makes the town go back to normal in early April.

The game explains most of the basics pretty well, I think. There's an event going on right now that could prove frustrating as you try to gather stones/iron ore/fish/etc and get eggs instead, that will end on the 12th.

my first time playing as well and here are two things I wish I knew when I started. Might be spoilers/not present in previous games tho.
- when you find a glowing spot on the ground, dig it up and put the sack back in the ground. In couple of days you'll find a tree with triple amount of bells you've found
- it is possible to catch the bees that you shake from the trees. Just have to have net equipped and time it perfectly

dig up the 1000 bells but bury 10,000 in the glowing hole instead, you'll triple it when the tree grows

Has anyone else had trouble finding the cherry blossom DIYs? I've been hardcore shooting down all balloons and talking to my villagers hoping it'll help get them, but I've only gotten two so far and one of them is the one Isabelle gives you. I've found basically all of the Easter DIYs which is super frustrating.

Any tips would be super helpful! I'm mostly just peeved because the cherry blossom DIYs are soso cute and I love them so much ugh.

Slight blogpost but got it just to be able to play with my mom tbh. We’re currently separated in different countries due to Covid so it’s cool to be able to chat on the phone while we show each other what we did with our islands. It’s definitely not necessary to enjoy the game but it’s nice to be able to play with irl friends in different areas of the world. Also, it’s only 20£ a year. Definitely cheaper than most game console’s online services. You get some nice little downloads for free too, like an NES virtual console. I guess it depends if you’re going to be using your switch for other games than using it for just ac. Sorry for the rambling.

$20 a year is not bad considering you get cloud storage for your games, plus it opens up a lot of enjoyable features in tons of games. Once I got it Pokemon became way more fun with trading. Idk if I'd get it just for AC but being able to visit friends and trade fruits/flowers, etc is a bonus.

No. 82063

curious what everyone's pet peeves are so far in acnh?

personally i wish there was an easier way to buy and craft multiple items at once. if the "hot item" at nook's cranny is easy to craft i usually will grind getting supplies for it and make a ton of them to get bells. i kinda wish you could say you want to craft like 10 of a single item if you have all the necessary materials in your pockets instead of making them one at a time.

i have a similar gripe with shopping at able sisters. i wish you could fill a cart with items then check out all at once instead of having to make an "outfit" to check out. sometimes i like to buy one item in multiple colors and its kind of annoying to have to keep checking out then walking right back into the dressing room. same when im trying to buy a few nook miles tickets at the nook stop. just makes things a bit tedious.

No. 82066

All of these are my pet peeves for sure, especially the Able Sisters shop. Also, I hate the breaking items and the fact that they don't tell you when they are about to break. It always happens at the most inconvenient time for me.

No. 82644

>>82011
Yeah, I figured grinding was just part of the game. It’s not that big of an issue for me but I think it’ll just take me a long time to do what I want to which kinda sucks. But I didn’t have C.J or that dragon bug guy come to my island before so it will probably be easier now.

>>82034
I kinda want to. I might try to find it online cos the older villagers honestly sound way better. I haven’t even played the old games but the overly optimistic attitude in nh kinda irks me sometimes.

No. 82645

Definitely crafting multiple of an item at once and buying multiple clothes at once (insane time me they overlooked this). Also:
- not being able to use materials directly from storage
- no indicator for item durability
- no quick sort for inventory
- gold tools being able to break
- not being able to customise furniture bought to its alternate colours
- not being able to read or repeat blathers descriptions for donated islands
- tropical fruit (except for coconuts) being cut. Goodbye bananas, durians and lemons.
- getting repeat diy recipes from villagers
- not being able to relocate ramps or bridges
- still being unable to place trees next to structures or rivers even though they implemented a rescue feature of you got stuck

Honestly felt like they had no UX designer for inventory in this game

overall am enjoying this game but it does feel much emptier and grindy in comparison, will echo previous statements of colour variants for items being annoying, inventory being whack, no fucking tables whatsoever, etc. no complaints about villagers though wrt interactivity, mine run up to me asking for favours or giving items quite often! the lil animations and singing is very cute too. would like them to be bit more feisty perhaps but hey. ALSO froggy villagers wearing the lil egg shell or sunglasses look so cute

hope they release some updates before i get bored of it and only log on once every 2 days to check store item selection. oh, also very hype for more zodiac items, the lil sheep rocking horse is so cute! also bring shrubs back pls

This egg shit was extra annoying when you wanted to farm materials because you ended getting only stupid eggs and nothing you really needed to craft useful things for you. They could've made it for one weekend or so and not TWO WEEKS.


I also wanted to ask if random villagers stop to appear on your island tours? Because at the beginning I got some by inviting them over but they stopped to be there for some reason?

I really miss Tortimer island in New Leaf and it's turtles and mini-games, but instead we got some John Lennon-wannabe guy… Where u can only take pics. Lame. It was so fun, hopefully they will add it at some point.

No. 83679

So is Tortimer still in the series? That would be such a let down if the devs took him out completely. I never got to play New Leaf but he was such a cute character in the first 3 games. When you first meet him in the village, he asks you who you respect the most and if you choose "my grandpa" he gets so happy. He even started reminding me of my grandpa.

No. 83680

>>83679
I doubt it… I haven't seen him in New Horizons at all. People thought that he's dead because of a grave in a trailer, but it turned out to be ghost NPCs grave.

In New Leaf, he invites you to visit his Island where he spends time with his family and relaxes. You have to pay 1000 bells every now and then in order to travel there. I really liked the fact how a turtle who helps us to get to Island would always sing a wholesome or funny song and would always say something nice. The island is very tiny, but it's good for catching expensive creatures at night. You can buy island-only furniture or clothing with points that you unlock by playing mini-games with Tortimer (theres about 3 of them), or you could just get a tiny bit of bells by playing 'supermarket' with baby turtle called Leila. There's also a nice turtle grandma who sells stuff. It was one of my fave parts of the game.

Selling turnips seems to be extremely painful no matter what. Unless you have close friends who aren’t going to flood their towns, most people are asking for things like absurd amounts of bells and nook miles tickets. I’ve been seeing people even asking for actual money. I really dislike the /vg/ threads on 4chan because they’re full of obvious underaged dumbasses and coomers but I’ve been getting a ton of free and good DIYs from them and they at least usually don’t charge to sell turnips. At this point, I’m nearing 300 DIY learned thanks to them and also got a ton of spare ones to give to my irl friends.

the online aspect is really janky and as opposite of smooth as you can get, but it's pretty much the only way to get certain things if that's important to you.
The game has a large captive audience right now and some of the more edgelordish sometimes take great pleasure in leaving stupid clothing designs in your Able Sisters shop, but it doesn't seem too bad.

I've been TTing a lot and every time a villager has asked to move out. The general opinion I've seen is that it has been changed from NL so that you have to give your permission for a villager to move out.

nitpick but its annoying that we can't pick up flowers with Y in new leaf and have to use a shovel. Whilst i am terraforming i always forget and go press Y and pick up just the flowers and not the whole thing. It's really frustrating especially when you have to move like 5+ flowers.

I'm honestly really in love this game. I've never played AC games before so I don't have reference to it being worse or better than previous ones, I just enjoy it as it is. (I've been playing Pocket Camp like crazy tho but doesn't really count.)

At first I found this to be a bit boring and collecting resources and money felt like repetitive chores, but after I got the shops I got over that feeling. Then when the K.K. concert happened and I got terraforming and I started to invest in turnips (=got money to rearrange shit), and most importantly, when the egg event was over, that's when I really started to LOVE it.

I like the characters and their interactions with each other and me, the island feels alive. Definitely not perfect, there are ton of annoying things that you guys have already pointed out but I still enjoy it. I guess I just really like the creative aspect and the community, I've made AC friends out of strangers and we visit each others islands daily and just have fun.

Thought I'd share this here for anons to enjoy: https://villagerdb.com/

It's a database for (most) available furniture, collectibles and other items in NH at the moment. Since there's no easy way to check when in the shop if you've already bought an item, I've been using this to make a list to catalog everything I have. Much easier then running back to the catalog in-game to check.

You can also use it to create wishlists! Which anons should share here so we could start some in-thread trading :) I'll start, these are the remaining fossils I need to complete my museum: https://villagerdb.com/user/hoppip/list/fossils-needed

Sometimes when you time travel you’ll see one of your villagers thinking and saying “what should I do…”, if you talk to them they’ll say they were thinking about moving and it’ll give you the option to tell them to stay or leave. It’s not always the villager you want to leave so you have to keep time traveling, but I think the chances of it being the villager you want increases if you ignore them a lot. Of course there’s always the option to talk to Isabelle about a villager to get them to leave faster, but I haven’t tried that yet because I feel bad lol.

I’ve heard that shooting stars can pretty much occur during any clear night you have (and it’s happened for me like that 2-3 times, not very much stars though). When Isabelle says there’s a meteor shower you’re guaranteed a fuckton of shooting stars as opposed to a measly like 25 or so (have also heard that they come in batches but are very slow, I usually wish on about 5 stars when there’s no announcement and then leave because I don’t feel like sitting around waiting for more batches).

the closest i've had to villagers moving out on their own was when i had someone camping in my campsite and i picked the prompts that encouraged them to move in. once i did that, they mentioned that there were no free plots, but then said "but xx mentioned they were thinking about moving out…" and eventually after a few other dialogues the villager i had been ignoring moved out and the camping villager moved into their plot

anyway i'm loving the game and playing all the time, and maybe its just because im time traveling bc ADD and i play too much, but im kinda disappointed by the lack of variety in dialogue. i notice a lot of my villagers say the same things and it makes them seem less individual and fun like they did in previous games. also wish the morning announcements were more varied because i get the same ones all the time. still addicted though so its a minor complaint lol

I've been watching a lot of island tours on youtube because I love seeing what other people are doing, and I notice that a lot of 5 star islands are filled to the brim with furniture, sometimes there's not a single space on the island that hasn't been filled or decorated in some way. Sometimes that looks really good, but what are people going to do when new things get added to the game like new furniture or buildings? gonna have to rework the whole layout of the island?

also does anyone else have this weird hangup where they don't want to terraform in a way that keeps the residents from getting to certain parts of the island? I really like the idea of jumping across stepping stones to get to some areas but then my villagers wouldn't be able to get there and that part of the island would be isolated :/

Many things that Ninji posted in the past has been confirmed so I really, really, REALLY cross my fingers for the bushes and veggies because I really want more nature variety on my island. The lack of bushes really bothered me since I'm one of those people who love the more forest type of towns and my island is pretty much a huge garden at the moment, so this is something I really want.

I was just thinking the same thing when I watched video related. It's no doubt super impressive but it's also very full. The guy who made the island said that he will change the layout of it again so I guess those people do change their island as they please when new stuff gets added.

I wasted a huge chunk of land in order to make a winding, foresty path that leads to my campsite but regret nothing because it looks fucking great.

I don’t have any wide stretches of space to dedicate to an orchard anymore which makes me sort of sad, but then I think about how I don’t really need one anymore lol. Not for fruit selling at least, since I’m rich from the stalk market, paid off my house, and only ever pay to move buildings around (and everything is pretty much set now). I guess it would be nice to have an organized orchard to make collecting wood easier, but having neat little rows of trees feels so inorganic and goes against the feel I’m going for. My forest path has trees thrown around randomly with lots of flowers so wood collecting is such a pain in the ass but I guess this is the price I have to pay for ~*~*~aesthetic~*~*~. How do you anons have your orchards set up, if you have any?

A friend of mine is in a acnh group and someone had Colton moving out. I almost was about to go to bed when I saw her message but immediately hopped on to plop down a new housing plot (have been saving one for if this would happen haha) and went to this person’s island. It’s so stupid and lame but I really got emotional seeing him in this game and now I finally get to have him on my new island!!!! New Leaf was my first game, and I didn’t really know about the villagers or that there were ones who were more popular than others. I played played on my cousin’s copy over winter break before she eventually just gave me the copy (because she saw how much I loved the game lol) and I never restarted because I grew so attached to all the villagers already living there, and Colton especially was my best friend in NL. I’ve been so determined to get him, and tomorrow he’s coming home!!

I’m going to eventually move his home next to mine and put down a nice rose garden for us. I’m so stupidly happy. I’m gonna treat my friend out to one of our favorite food spots when quarantine is over because she was able to find him for me (and of course I left the person I got him from a tip!!! money is no object when it comes to my sweet boy!)

I finally dipped my toe into terraforming, the goal was to extend a tiny bit of cliff slightly so I could line a staircase up against the cliff itself so as to not jut out into my planned fruit orchard.

The only good thing is I was able to buy the shower booth from his nooks yesterday, but fuck I wish my friend never invited him lol.

I usually open my island up to best friends if I want to avoid him randomly popping in when I'm having one specific friend or two over for crafting or cataloguing or something, but he said in the whole general chat that he was adding me so I couldn't even play it off that I didn't see his request, so now I have to invite friends via dodo ughhhhh.

I remembered recently with playing the new game lots that I was super in love with NL and wanted to collect the amiibo cards just because I liked the characters. I bought packs whenever I could.
I've moved twice since then, and since it's been so long ago I totally forgot what characters I'd gotten, only remembering Isabelle. So I went ahead and dug through all my boxes and finally found them. I feel so silly because I have so many villagers that I wanted, just sitting there waiting for me to rediscover them.

I love all the wolves and Butch lol. I have 3 normals (marina, lolly, and olive) but I only have them because I panic while villager hunting, thinking “oh god but theyre so cute! what if the next arent as cute or appealing?!?” but I just gotta suck it up when someone finally leaves again lol. I want personality variety… I’m not even sure which one of the three I would give up, but I’m not really particularly attached to any of them so I guess it doesn’t really matter. I feel like forming friendships with any of the villagers hasn’t really hit me like it did in New Leaf. I’m okay with all my villagers, but wouldn’t be upset if they left like I used to with my New Leaf villagers. I’d only even want Marshall or the new ones in this game just because I know they’re worth big money, not because I care to befriend them.

oooh I hate rocket but that house is really cute imo haha. Just different vibes for our islands I guess!

I really wish they would somehow vary the personality types more. I have three lazy's and I got raddle on a mystery island.

Funnily enough, today was the first time my Ables had prince outfits! We can be twinsies now lol. I’m too scared to gift him furniture and ruin his nice aesthetic house (care much less about my first few villagers bc it was all that stupid wooden block shit anyway) so I’ll probably on my gift him clothing… I’ve already got some cute sweaters, hats, and some suit attire in my storage all ready for when I can start gifting him! Hehe, if my Ables ever gets the crown I’m definitely buying one for him. If I end up gifting him furniture, I might gift him some other musical instruments since he gave me the acoustic guitar diy (which I know his amiibo asks for) and I also have the cello catalogued.

I saw somebody on tumblr say that even though villagers have personality types, they have little dialogs that make them unique. Is this true?

The villagers I've encountered seem to have unique personality traits, even if they're small traits. They open up more as you get to know them.
When you have several of the same personality type it's easier to tell, like between my two peppy villagers: Bangle is pushy and frankly insane and Bluebear uses meditation to deal with her anxiety.

I have a love/hate relationship with how I’ve been doing my island but this little area is single handedly the best part of the entire place. It’s a cliffside tearoom that’s a bit tucked away (entrance goes into the side of the cliff and not immediately visible). Down the front of the cliff is a little zen garden, and to the right of it is a waterfall “shrine” feature where I’ve been sticking my lily of the valley plants on singular blocks of land in the water.

Thank you anons!

I have a hard time decorating because I really hate things looking too industrial or city like. I still have some areas that feel too industrial to me, but adding lots of flowers everywhere sort of helps (but is very annoying whenever I want to try out my new idea of the day and have to dig up and replant a ridiculous number of flowers lol). It kind of sucks because I think of things like having an outdoor arcade or something, but no matter how many trees and flowers I put around it, a bunch of pinball and slot machines in the middle of the forest looks dumb kek. I’m adverse to using fencing for most things too because I think it looks too organized/inorganic. I think those islands that replicate cities with the whole blacktop and floor signage and whatever look super cool, but I want my island to still look like a deserted island that people settled into! Not like a chunk of Tokyo just broke off the main land and drifted out into the middle of nowhere.

> i love the go area and largely foregoing stools, feel (literally) more down to earth and natural!

This really makes me so happy to hear!! The stone stools were an impulse because I already have too many cushions haha but I’m so happy they worked out anyway and still convey the feeling I’m going for! Terraforming really sucks, I mostly steal a lot of ideas off reddit or twitter because I also don’t have a creative bone in my body heh. The fact that I somehow thought up this tearoom and library by myself and didn’t just replicate someone else’s is still baffling to me lol. This is probably also the biggest outdoor decorated area on my island besides my boardwalk thats in front of my shops! I mainly make very small ourdoor areas with a handful of items (usually like 5 max) for my villagers to get decoration points- an outdoor bath/sauna area for one villager, a little outdoor cooking or eating area, a small well near some homes for them to fetch water, etc. Probably my most favorite thing to put outside their homes are laundry things! It really makes it feel like there’s someone living there imo. I hope you’ll get that 5 star soon!

Join the club, it's just really humbling and I understand why people who made a fortune trading turnips are suddenly tempted to restart their games from scratch.

This is ver 2.0 of the cafe, so not too long thankfully! But it was originally in a different location, just on the ground floor, fenced with the zen fence and was attached to the zen garden. It looked fine, but at the same time just looked wrong? Very rectangular and boring. I finished it in maybe around an hour since it was just on the ground floor. When I moved it into this current space, it took maybe like two hours of building out the cliff and fiddling with putting the furniture into very tight spaces before I liked it! The space where the library was, was actually leveled out to the ground floor (was going to put a hidden murder site surrounded by trees lol) but the area was annoying to deal with because of the waterfall structure in the front. The idea of the library came a few days after the tearoom was done, probably took a couple hours to set up! I like to gather as much furniture as I can before setting up these spaces because it really makes things come together a lot easier and faster lol. I got most things from a friend so even furniture gathering/ordering/crafting didn’t take too long, maybe like 3 days max to get everything I needed/wanted!

I’ve considered completely moving the entire structure to somewhere else but I honestly don’t want to deal with the work so I won’t haha. I was just so obsessed with having my waterfall shrine before any of these other ideas came to me, so I’m very happy it all worked out and they meld well together! I did build it out of a preexisting stand alone cliff structure though, so that’s why it isn’t in my “ideal” location.

Anyways, one thing I wanted to ask: Do any other anons here get overwhelmed with angry feelings while terraforming? Maybe because I'm about to get my period but I find that it's sometimes really frustrating because your villager builds a cliff while I want actually one to be gone. Removes water when I want water in that place. Shit wants to make me scream sometimes. Another thing that made me wonder if I'm just an idiot because I find scooping up flowers at times really nerv wrecking because I end up making holes around the flower and not where I want it to have?

As I said, maybe I'm just stupid but the fact that I can't pic up flowers like that just ugh makes me want to scream and I regret planting so many because at this point my western part og my island is a damn flower field because I have that many and on the other side of the island I placed all my trees for now lol

No. 87636

>>87626
>>87620

When choosing the layout of your island just remember that there are certain things you won't be able to move even with terraforming. The location of the airport and the plaza are the main ones, but also the spots where the rivers meet the ocean, the rocky parts along the beach, and the wooden pier.

Everything else, cliffs, rivers, can be changed, so it's most important to make sure you're happy with the locations of the stuff I mentioned above. Some people have literally restarted their whole game one month in because when they unlocked paths they didn't like the alignment of the plaza and the airport.

As for changing the time on your switch, that won't do anything to your account. If you can't wait one day irl then go ahead, but the first few weeks are really slow so you might end up just skipping a ton. Happy travels, anon.

I also heard that if you make dodo guy blush, you get a rare island. It's worked 2/3 times for me, which are not absolute odds, I admit.

Doesn't feng shui play into the Happy Home Academy ranking system? It's a real question because I've seen people claiming to be dataminers posting that it does, along with color scheme etc.
So many of these systems are opaque as hell in New Horizons.

I saw an r/AC thread full of people general having a negative impression of people who ask for Bells and/or in-game items in exchange for high turnip prices, villagers, and/or other in-game items. One comment even called such players "scum," but am I reasonable for thinking that people are being excessively hostile? Like, Nintendo Online sucks ass in terms of user experience so I understand if people wanna be paid for spending time keeping their gates open/dealing with crashes. Also it's not like real money is being involved.

Trading doesn't go against the spirit of the game at all, you can give people most items very easily, villagers are easy to trade when in boxes, and turnip prices are literal competitive stock game, trading is in the spirit of the game.

Asking for 5 nmts and 100k bells for entrance to a town with a 380 turnip price or 1 nmt to catalog an item that cost 1k bells is scummy and its rampant among NH players. I don't into plebbit but it seems like thats what they were talking about.

I took 2 days to 'flood' my island and make everything into water with terraforming.

Trading is definitely the way to go, but I'm gonna be the devil's advocate here and say you might have a lot more fun trying out new villagers. The personalities from NL > NH have changed, in terms of the dialogue and interactions between other villagers. 2 of my favourite villagers from NL, Tangy and Punchy, really did not click with me again in NH. I spent a lot of time finding them, but eventually I let them move out. They were replaced by Stella and Frobert randomly, 2 villagers I had never had before, and I adore them both. I wouldn't be so quick to overlook new villagers now that I've had that experience.

I think the dialogue getting worse with each game (although I think New Horizon's is better than New Leaf's) is to be expected (still sucks tho). There wasn't a lot to do in GC and WW, so the dialogue had to be on point. I guess with how elaborate NH is, the dialogue just wasn't a priority. Have the devs ever spoken about this in particular? This seems to be the main complaint people have so, I pray they'll do something with an update, call it 'True Friends' or some bs.

How does everyone feel about the direction the series is going in? A part of me kind of misses the simplicity of the older games where you're just a regular villager moving in to an already established neighbourhood, but I dunno if that's just nostalgia speaking. I mean I love NL and NH but being a demigod who quite literally shapes the land they live on feels like it detracts from the original point of these games.

the games started as a social focused experienced and became a design game. Honestly it's hard to chose which I prefer because they play entirely different.

I understand your frustration. I keep having Audie tell me about the the distance to the moon a handful of times already. I played City Folk and even though it’s considered the “worst game” in the franchise, I can say that the dialogue was so much more memorable and better. I thinks it’s due to the development team focusing way more on the look of the game rather than how it feels, plus wanting to be more inclusive towards more demographics for $$$.

>>87885
Yeah, it feels weird to me that even though NH allows you to shape land way for freely than could could in other games, the gameplay experience still feels empty in a way. I definitely feel like there was less focus put onto the verbal interactions with characters (residents and NPCs) this time around. Hoping that will change with more updates, but given that this is the most financially successful game in the franchise thus far, Nintendo really might not care enough to do anything about that.

>>87892
For sure. I feel like NH is the most aesthetically-pleasing game 100%. As good as the graphics and interfaces are, the character interactions are so much blander as other players have stated. Also, the user interfaces are great but the user experience could still be so much better. Playing online feels like such a chore filled with unneeded and unskippable sequences and interrauptions. I have a little conspiracy theory that given that Nintendo wanted to make Happy Home Designer 2.0 with NH given how panned the original was.

I agree with other anons, I miss the dialogue so much. NH is the first AC game I've played since wild world which I was heavily into in like 2007? I picked WW back up during quarantine because I was jealous of friends playing NH but eventually caved and got a switch. I'm enjoying how much there is to do in NH but I miss the kinda shit in pic related.

On my replay of WW, I was friends with villagers and giving them catchphrases and nicknames within a few days, but I haven't had a single fun interaction with a villager in NH yet.

I lucked out because I found a local ACNH community of around 130 people and there has been zero greediness. We have cataloging sessions, share villagers that are in boxes, trade recipes, open gates for good turnip prices and meteor showers. All without fees so I don't have to deal with things like turnip.exchange or reddit. I once got good prices and opened my gates, even without asking for any fees I got ~2 million bells and other stuff in tips, they left nice messages on my message board etc. People form such a nice and giving community when you don't ask for stuff hahah. /blog

Opinion: The five star youtube islands don't look that great or fun. Obviously, you can make your island how you want, but all of them have weird similarities and are elaborate for the sake of being elaborate. Like the islands are one way and have set walkthroughs, so you can't just run quickly to the beach, for example. The walkways are so narrow that only one character can get through at a time. There's so much stuff that you can't run around. There's random waterfalls coming out from nowhere. Random rare furniture that doesn't fit. Etc.

I think I get what your mean. It seems a ton of other players on online communities have such creative and cool islands and homes that it makes it feel like you’re lagging. I just remind myself that they’re probably a minority rather than majority of players, and they tend to be more obsessive about the game (I have less than 100 hours put in).

My island looks really underdeveloped compared to other people’s but I don’t really mind that much anymore. I’m kind just taking my time and it’s nice to be able to run around. Given that there’ll be many more updates in the future, I would think that the five-star islands with no room will have some more re-arranging to do.

This game does feel more grind-y. I think the implementation of more exclusive things like Nook Miles and DIYs that you can only get more of by spending more time playing has contributed to this. Also the lack of rich character interactions can be boring so grinding away can help pass time in the game more easily.

I want to put blood splatters on the hidden back rocks of my island and some blood splatters on some lockers that will casually be placed in appropriate microenvironments (eg swimming area).

Yep! Rocks won’t spawn within one space around it so you can leave two spaces between each mannequin. Fencing works too, but I used mannequins since they won’t take up inventory space when you get rid of them. Takes a little longer to put everything out but it’s not really a fast process no matter what you do. Rocks also will not spawn next on any spaces directly on a ledge/under a cliff, or on any of the non-dirt paths (but can spawn next to them) so if you have a lot of non-dirt paths out it’ll save you a lot of trouble.

Is it worth getting a switch just to play this game? I honestly have fallen in love with the idea of it and watching/reading about it but the main draw is being able to design whatever I want and have a chill time. Is it worth splurging the 300 just for this game?

I bought a wired controller for around $20 since getting new joycons are so much more expensive

There's really not a huuuge amount of customisation, unless you really like designing clothes and patterns. And the main design aspect (terraforming) is quite clunky and I wouldn't buy the game just for that. Buy it if you:
- Like repetitive tasks, happy with playing for maybe only 10 minutes some days, enjoy chill low stakes gameplay, not looking to 'finish' the game.

Ah fuck nevermind, I'd just waste 300 because I doubt I'd have the patience for it. Thanks anon

I think its best to spend money on 3ds and New Leaf rather than waste 300 on switch and 60 on New Horizons, considering that they turned the game into island designer app and are adding tiny updates every month.

It might be because we're in a New Horizons lull but I'm really tempted to pick up New Leaf. Two concurrent AC games might be my breaking point though.

Have you noticed that some people really can't stand the cranky voice sound? I keep seeing that around, the deep talking noise is like nails on chalkboard to some.
Poor Octavian gets lumped in with that, plus he just looks angry and that's not ~aesthetic~.

He's great though. He spends his days fishing and Naruto-running around the island.

Oh, you're lucky I love Coco. Idk Octavian is my fave. Him and the other octopus were very popular for new leaf so maybe people have just moved on from them?

Irt flowers I tried giving so many away but nobody wanted them so I had to sell a ton. Prob made over 10k. I just want to fill my island with pink hybrids only tbh. Is anyone else struggling to get some blue roses and other rare hybrids? idk the tutorials I find are all different and can be confusing. I don't remember it being this hard in nl.

i'm having the same confusions anon. some tutorials say you need to do one thing while others say you need to do another. like the thing with green mums where you need yellow hybrids to breed purple hybrids in order for a better chance to get green. i sometimes have more luck getting hybrids by just leaving my flowers alone for weeks than i do actually trying to go by tutorials and being specific about it.

fucking this, anon.

I'm a huge nature and flower hoe but this shit drives me crazy. I wish there was some sort of lawnmower where you can just get rid of your flowers, especially when you have like me a huge flower field because I'm organizing my entire island.

Yess, if you get the 3ds , i'll break out mine and we can all chill. New Leaf is so much better. It feels like a completed game and it feels more fun with the npcs and villagers. It's better then NH imo in so many ways

Punchy is the only one I have but in spite of the lazy personality and busted starter home, he's great.
He was a very lucky find from my first round of Nook Mile island hopping, not that I knew how popular he was at the time.
