Animal Crossing: New Horizons Hype Thread
- Thread starter Meelow
- Start date
I don't care for time traveling, duping; cheating, but if someone does this in their own game I don't think any one should care at all. It doesn't affect you. If they couldn't exploit it through the systems at hand, there would just be hacks or mods to get what they want. Do you feel the same way with exploits used for speed runs or when people hack/mod their games?

You know what.... you're right. The difficulty makes it worth it.
Right. I mean, it would be one thing if Animal Crossing was an online game with a huge internet presence and online community that also has to be playable completely offline due to the nature of the console it's on and therefore can't do serverside checks for legitimacy, thereby enabling the intended collaborative online experience to be undermined by the presence of duped items and money day-zero if such exploits went unaddressed, but that's not at all the case.
wait a minute
I've got great memories of visiting other people's towns to trade, barter, and play the turnip market, among other things. Allowing such exploits would undermine that element of online play and would enable people to subvert the game's entire progression and emphasis on social play, and personally that's not something I want because I get a lot out of the series online play.
Ah thanks, so yeah that's probably why she's out of the job now lol
They may also miss out on high stalk market prices if previous AC games are any example. Turnip prices changed at 9am and noon so there is s 3 hour window. High prices only sporadically appear in the morning though so OP will be fine. It could just take a bit longer to reach savings milestones.
yes, a whole week is a long time. I dont care how long its supposed to be played, that aspect of AC has never meant anything to me. For building up the village? sure. For basic features of the game and customizability? Nah.

Nah, because AC isn't an mmo, it isnt a competitive title. It's literally all cosmetic, and accepting items earned too early(which is bulshit to call cheating) hurts no one, because youre just getting something early that you'd get later. Theres no advantage/disadvantage beyond "Oh that person's town is prettier than mine"
You wanna call time traveling cheating, you gonna have to call the era turnip market cheating too, because that gives more of an immediate advantage than just time traveling to unlock basic features does.
I would sooner remove all multiplayer than have that hold back how fun the single player could be without all the restricting anticheat rigmarole
I'm not one for time travelling much in AC anymore, but...
Talk to 'em.
I'm glad you can timeskip if you want to. I don't do it, but I'm not against it. But I also kinda want there to be some sort of handicap or penalty for doing so. It's okay if you enjoy it that way, but you're also going against the way the game is designed to be played, so it shouldn't be "free" to do so.
I think the whole "town gets filled with weeds and stinky flowers" thing was a good enough punishment for doing that.

With Nintendo themed items being missing, I'm worried stuff like that will be stuck in limited time events like Pocket Camp where you have to collect a certain number of special materials in a limited period of time to build some special furniture. Or they'll have like fortune cookies where they'll give you free ones occasionally but otherwise you'll have to pay real money to get more.
Someone posted a leak/confirm some time ago about which villagers start inhabiting the island the same day as you.
One random Uchi villager and one random Jock villager.
Eh, I don't look forward to having the many surprises this game has in store for us spoiled over the next week or so due to time skippers. I understand the need to do small time adjustments to make the game fit in your life (eg. those who play late at night), but I'm sure glad holidays + other features will be rolled out via patches this time around.
Data miners ruin the fun in a game like this to me. If you already know what Santa's bringing you, there's no magic in Christmas.

I think unfortunately I'm going to have to do some serious YouTube curation because I'm sure the time skippers will not be discreet with their titles and thumbnails.
I'm actually starting to think the max may still be 10 and have come up with two possible explanations for the video.
1. A villager is in the process of moving out and you can now start the process to move in a new villager while your 10th villager is in the process of moving out.
2. They're just moving a villager's house. Like it's possible you have to wait a day for a villager's house to move. So, their current house will stay where it is for the rest of the day and the new house will be in construction until the next day. So, on the next day, the old house will be gone and the new house will be finished.
Not confirmed, can still be an NDA thing, like many other things are currently.
It's not officially confirmed but nobody's seen any of them.
I'm 98% sure that these will be included in the first bigger DLC package (alongside with several other decorative items). They seem to be another thing Nintendo does not want data miners to discover early on.
Honestly I don't get why there is such a high amount of people complaining about the lack of content in the game and/or things missing from older games, especially when Nintendo couldn't make it any clearer in the latest Direct that the game will have at least one full year of free updates and support from the developers.
Pretty much this.
I already said it a couple of pages back, but I really can't wait (sarcasm) for Profasia Gamer or some other asshole to timeskip months worth of game just to upload all of their findings on their stupid YouTube channels and spoil everything they can in both their videos and thumbnails.

You're not going to have to wait. The game is already in some regular consumers' hands; datamining will probably start shortly
On that note, any of y'all who are gonna partake in that better make a spoiler thread soon lol
Crisis avoided lol
The datamining starts right now. Looks like someone went and did the thing.
I mean not necessarily. Something being in a trailer doesn't mean it's in the game now. Like I said, it could still be locked behind some timed event or paid content cause reviewers have yet to see any of it themselves.
i still don't see how that affects you in any way. You can't visit random towns, so you'll be able to choose to go to their town or not if they like to time travel or dupe items. Someone else doing it has no impact on your game, which is why I was asking if they don't do it, why it matters so much. The game shouldn't be corrupted like someone else suggested because you change the system clock.
Wait really? That's... bizarre. I don't know how I feel about that, just like, conceptually.
(By the way, I'm spoiler tagging this because personally I would consider it to be a spoiler)
This is very informative thank you for the map graphic!!!!!Earlier this week 언이라브 released a map of the world showing unlock times for ACNH in lots of different regions. I decided to take that idea and bring it into the AC Aesthetic with a little design of my own and working with 언이라브 aka Brian to make sure its updated and accurate.
I'll make sure this is linked in the OT when it goes live tomorrow too!
I wanted to make a video on these, but sadly, it isn't worth it. You just get a message saying "This amiibo isn't supported."
Nothing else, unfortunately.
Yes, she is. All normal villagers with amiibo cards seem to be back
The new wolf is named Audie. Definitely having some tear duct action after finding out that information. (She's named after the 88 year old Animal Crossing grandmother who had 3500+ hours in New Leaf.)
I mean, she's like one of the few that no one should be worried about, along with Bob :p
Anyway, Nintendo after the Direct tweeted that Tom Nook sended an invitation to 383 animals, which is the exact number of amiibo cards of villagers. The point of that tweet was to announce that if you had a villager card, it would work on New Horizons, meaning they're all back.
