AC: New Horizons [Turnip Thread] The Road to Bells is Paved With Good Connections

Thanks! I'm in your queue. Hopefully I can get onto your island before my work meeting at 3! I'll be sure to leave a tip! :)
I've been meaning to ask, what determines your own islands prices? I have a four star island and they almost always stink. Do you have to have five stars for better prices? Buy turnips more frequently?
The loading screens for people arriving and leaving take a lot of time, plus you have to go through all the text in the airport before you can even input the Dodo code. People better not be sneaking second trips in; they should leave and rejoin the queue instead.
except that the damn cutscenes of the entrance and exit of people slow down the process by a lot. The quickest I've been able to sell my turnips on the exchange page is about 10 minutes, and that's with very little cutscene interference
people have to remove themselves from the queue when they're done. Also it issues the code to the next people but it may take minutes for them to see it and come over. Can easily be ten minutes per person - then complicated by 'someone is arriving' delays. And once people have the dodo code they might make multiple trips, share a code with a friend..
Some people don't turn up for a while. I give them a chance and then delete them from the queue.
I've only been buying for a few weeks now and have a 4-star island as well so I don't know how some people are getting these crazy prices.
I think it might be faster if people literally set their queues to one person at a time so each person only gets their own loading screens and then gets the hell out to make way for the next one, without their stay getting extended by an extra 5 minutes from other peoples loading screens
You could probably give them 15-20 minutes of leeway. If they still haven't arrived, I guess kick them out.
I give around 10-15 minutes. It's not fair on everyone else waiting otherwise.
Thank you to everyone hosting their islands for the rest of us! I know it takes a lot of time and you can't just idle the whole time. Having to check the queue and maybe creating new Dodo codes is a lot of work. I appreciate it :D
It's like 1min30 per arrival, maybe 30s to my shop, 30s selling, 30s back, 1min to leave. Plus maybe a minute to get and enter the Dodo code. So maybe 5mins per person and none of it can happen simultaneously due to the absurd arrival/departure system.
Thanks. Tbh, I didn't realise how much work this was 😂
Turnip selling would go a lot faster if no one had to watch the arrival scene. Granted it might be to mask load times for the other person, but over a minute seems crazy.
Thanks for hosting Orbis !
These arrival and departure cutscenes are bullshit btw. First time I arrived I think I was the only one on the island and got done in like 2 minutes. Thought I had time for another quick run. And even though I left my second batch right outside my airport, it took me 10 more minutes due to all the cutscenes.

Did you close the tab? Just need to refresh it. You should still be in line
I didn't close anything at all. The tab is still open as I write this post.
I had a pop-up saying "You have been kicked from the queue" and that was it. I never closed it, I had it opened for 2 hours straight now, since I first joined it.
Reducing spawn rates for bugs like the peacock butterfly or tarantulas, reducing the interest rate for the atm, etc. Just making the game more grindy to get money
Nerfed bug spawn rates for the rare ones that sell for more (peacock butterfly, for example)
Ive been trying to get on any islands for the last hour and I keep getting kicked out when I get semi-close :(
I'm number 8 and this makes me nervous, haha. Been waiting for like an hour.
I had the same thing and I just refreshed the tab and I'm still in it. (OR I was remembering something different)
Nerfing the spawn rates of insects.
I noticed this right away. Also, did they reduce the spawn rate for balloons too? I feel like I don't see them as often now.
I already refreshed it several times. I'm very much NOT in the queue anymore.
This is disheartening, really.
I literally had my guy hanging out at the airport with turnips in hand waiting for the code :)
Ah. Haven't relied on making big money through insects since the release week.
Also, the economy is busted, unless you don't have NSO to benefit from visiting other islands.
Quick tip for everyone waiting in a queue: go to the airport and go through the dialogue for connecting online. But stop advancing dialogue when you see "Gotcha. Lemme just connect you to the ol ' internet..."
Then when you get the code, advance dialogue and enter the code. You can shave off a minute or so doing this.

That's assuming they actually start the process immediately when it's their turn
Yep, I'm number 9 in the queue and am doing the same thing!
Thanks a ton, that's very kind. I was contemplating throwing myself off the cliff of my island but the game wouldn't let me.
