Animal Crossing NH Summer Update Part 1 Coming 7/3

[milkyway]

Glad to be getting diving back! Gulliver 2.0, well... I hope in the next update they change the character rotation. Getting Sahara, Kicks, and Leif guaranteed every week is disappointing and completely unnecessary. Leif should get added to Nook's Cranny, Kicks added to Able Sisters, and Label a special guest at Able Sisters. Now you can have Redd, Gulliver, Saharah, Flick, and C.J. appear every week. Is this hopeful? Hopefully not.

 

[Dremorak]

Same... It's been 98 days since I bought the game and Gulliver has shown up five times.

Click to shrink...

lol weird. I've seen him about 15 times.
Redd on the other hand, only shown up 3 times :\

Honestly if you just threw Leif into Nooks and let Redd come on Sundays after Daisy Mae leaves it'd be fine.
Mostly because it was fine before! There was 6 characters so there'd be 1 that you would miss out on and they'd get priority next week

And, it's out!! I forgot I had made this thread, ha.



Was a pretty quick download too.

EDIT: Wetsuits are available tonight at nooks! Plus, new seasonal items at the terminal (I think just the bamboo grass?)

 

[tophu]

nice! jumping in now.

 

[Unicorn]

OMG IT'S OUT NOW!?!? Class, hurry up and enddddddd

 

[spindashing]

Where do I buy the wetsuits? They're not at the Nooklings...

 

[Birdie]

I haven't played AC in like two weeks but might check in. Can someone @ me when we have a solid list of what it adds? I hope we have some fun QoL surprises.

 

[maximumzero]

Anyone find patch notes yet?

 

[MondoMega]

Oh neat, it's out. I'll try it out later.

There are some in the terminal, but for instant buy I got the stripped one at Nooks. Right next to the umbrellas in the cabinet.

It feels like such a missed opportunity with this game post launch.

Nice, I'll check it out later.

 

[Alexhex]

Welcome back giant isopods, you've been missed

My Nook's Cranny has the blue striped suit. This is the first time I have played today though.

Sliding door at the nook shop. :)

If it isn't open, the terminal works as well but you'll have to wait a day.

 

[totofogo]

Hmm. I caught a scallop but no Pascal. Maybe that starts tomorrow?

nope, he appeared for me. It might be random though. I have Chip on the island so that isn't blocking it.

 

[Eros]

does the update go live depending on timezone?

 

[Enduin]

Is that updating save data screen new? Don't remember it for past updates. Kind of freaked me out for a second.

He didn't appear after every Scallop in New Leaf and it was once a day. It was just a chance for him to appear.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

Holy shit, i bust out laughing at this quote:

I got a sea anemone! The enemy of my anemone is my afrenome!

Thats the best thing ive ever seen

 

[Lunchbox]

Oooof I need the waterproof phone 😆

Ah I see, thanks!

 

[tophu]

Pascal just randomly showed up for me!

oh yeah, it was after getting a scallop.

I think it just rolled out to everyone since it is still July 2nd in the Americas and I was able to download it.

 

[Sober]

Saharah will circle back and ask if you want to buy more instead of a purchase ending the conversation, do I guess that's a QoL update.

I mean, that's ... something, I guess.

Only 941 of 942 QoL changes to go!

It's showed up before.

Game changer.

Not even joking she was the worst

L'able is my least favorite. All of her exclusive clothes are hideous. Even Leif I enjoy interacting with even if I don't need any bushes.

 

[LostSkullKid]

CJ doesn't buy deep sea creatures or make models of them. :(

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Never cared much about diving but add away to the game, Nintendo.

let me choose the amount of items to buy. don't start me all the way over for choosing the wrong option at the end of the whole airport spiel.

i need those qol changes yesterday.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Worst part of the game is only being able to buy one top or whatever body part clothing at a time.

 

[ned_ballad]

Diving seems a bit less annoying than it was in New Leaf. Creatures move slower and stick around way longer and there's no jellyfish hazards

I didn't really play New Leaf but it does seem really boring, kind of a bizarre mechanic all around.

[ned_ballad]

Mantis Shrimp crack aquariums when put down as furniture

That's a neat touch

there's also a lot more ocean to swim in this time around, I guess to accommodate 8 players.
They probably should have upped spawn rates since there's never going to be any NPCs out here.

 

[魑魅魍魎]

Its out!!! Runs to switch

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Anyone else totally convinced Kappn will be back like I am???

 

[William_Herschel]

Couple things. The movement speed of swimming is really slow. This is my first animal crossing game so I don't know how it compares to other games. It's not really the most enjoyable mechanic, although as usual the sound effects in this game are very relaxing.

Second thing. Once pascal shows up, how do you get him to show up again? Just wait another day? When he shows up the next day, do I want to make sure that I have my scallops on me so that I can trade with him?

what do you mean? The game is made to have lots of small update for years to come

Again, first animal crossing game... but I feel like things are just getting kind of repetitive. There is a lot of opportunity in this game to do stuff around multiplayer, or have more unique locations to visit, or have little mini puzzles. But everything is kind of centered around doing repetitive tasks and RNG. Anyway, I'm not complaining too much. I still find the game charming... but if I wasn't working from home still I'm not sure that I'd still be playing.

 

[Parthenios]

My game won't load after the update. Just stays on the black screen with the island.

It is better than it was in New Leaf, which is the game that introduced the diving mechanic.

Okay. So we should just sell to Timmy and Tommy?

edit: Most of Blathers' descriptions of these new creatures are pretty violent. This sea snail has a tongue covered with teeth that it uses to scrape holes in things? You don't say!

it's not mean to be played for long period of time, maybe 20 minutes per day, but if you think it came a chores, just take a few times off, wait for events and just play them.

Im someone who is structured, i need goals in my life. The game was perfect when the quarantine started for a month, but i havent touched it for 2 months now
