Agent Gibbs Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 *hilarious pics* Thats just so awesome that explains me moving then!
Guy Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) I assume a lot of people went for the eshop download for better access? I actually bought a physical copy then bought a download copy the next day because of the convenience of having it on my system at all times. Just wish eShop games were £30 max and there was a definite account system. It's way too scary to think I'd lose these games if something happens to my system. Oh ball bags I just sold my fishing rod. Hopefully I'll be able to buy a replacement tomorrow. I'll give you the spare I bought today if you wanna pop over to my village. Friend code is: 4269-3005-7072, I PMed you too, but upon checking it seems we're already friends although you were last online 5 days ago? Edited June 16, 2013 by Guy Automerged Doublepost
Sheikah Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 I caught a hammerhead shark! Woot. I've since found out that the paintings Redd sells on Saturday...you can work out whether they're fake or not by looking at them. Wish I knew that before, heh.
yesteryeargames Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 What's the purpose of the gems you find smashing rocks ?

somme Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 I'll give you the spare I bought today if you wanna pop over to my village. Didn't see this until too late, but it's OK I bought one this morning!
Happenstance Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Paid the 20,000 this morning to give my town the wealthy ordinance so from tomorrow I should be able to sell stuff for more. Also started my first project, getting another bridge put in to make things easier. Now just waiting for re-tail to open so I can check the turnip prices.
Sheikah Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 I built a new bridge (completed today) so I can get around easier now! Also my night owl ordinance has kicked in today so the shops will be open later (like Re-tail which will be apparently open til 3AM now). Perfect for someone like me.

When you think about it though, the only circumstance in which you won't get your e-shop games back is if you lose your 3DS. If you lose your 3DS with your physical inside you also lose the game. Admittedly you won't lose all your games though, unless you lose your 3DS inside its case with a load of other games. Nintendo really need a cloud save system like Sony, as well as accounts for redownloading software.
Happenstance Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Just went to the Island for the first time, caught and collected a load of new stuff then it was all gone by the time I got back to my town How do you transfer the stuff you collected back?
Ike Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Just wish eShop games were £30 max and there was a definite account system. It is £30 if you buy the download code from GAME's website.
Agent Gibbs Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) i have to say i am absolutely loving this game, and i really didn't think i would. I haven't played an animal crossing since the first one, which i imported from the US just after it launched there, i just regretted the decision as i found it boring at the time. But this is surprisingly fulfilling, i'm not as advanced as you guys, hell i haven't even got a watering can yet. i've been donating loads of fish/bugs and fossils to the museum, are you guys doing this straight away? or selling and completing the museum later? i need to find someone online with fruit other than oranges, everyone yesterday only had oranges, are they super common or something? i want to create a forest of fruit trees also what is this Island you all keep mentioning Edited June 17, 2013 by Agent Gibbs
Eenuh Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Just went to the Island for the first time, caught and collected a load of new stuff then it was all gone by the time I got back to my town How do you transfer the stuff you collected back? You are supposed to drop it off in the basket you can find near the exit when you go back to your town. Once you have deposited the items in there, you can pick them up again from the basket you find on the pier.

Cube Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 I logged on for a few minutes this morning. Got my permit and changed my town to Night Owl. I was also told that I could go to the island today. I also started a campsite as it apparently brings visitors throughout the year. I can work on getting around easier at a later date. My town doesn't seem to be that bad for navigation. i've been donating loads of fish/bugs and fossils to the museum, are you guys doing this straight away? or selling and completing the museum later? --- also what is this Island you all keep mentioning I'm donating everything first. As for the island, you get told about it when you get your permit. It has rarer animals and bugs.

Nintendo really need a cloud save system like Sony, as well as accounts for redownloading software. But in theory a digital purchase should be available, like Steam, on any device your account is signed into just like a cartridge. One of the massive benefits of digital games is that, unlike a cartridge or disc, it's impossible for it to be lost or stolen. Nintendo are still playing catchup, but they'll get there eventually. Once Nintendo pull their heads out of the sand, their digital purchases will be extremely attractive as there will be more benefits from going digital than owning a heap of cartridges.

Ike Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Do you get a Rainbow Stag from the island by any chance? One of my villagers wants one and I have no idea where they appear.
somme Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 i need to find someone online with fruit other than oranges, everyone yesterday only had oranges, are they super common or something? i want to create a forest of fruit trees It's random, I think the chances of getting any fruit is the same. I haven't seen a single orange yet.
Happenstance Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Need to decide if I should sell my turnips today for 106 each or risk waiting and hope I can get a better price later.
Jimbob Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) I was gifted a Lychee today, so i guess we have a new tree/fruit tree. Have planted it, may time-travel to get the tree quicker. So if anyone fancies a Lychee, my gates will be open 9pm tonight. Sod it, will time travel to see. Lovely tree indeed. 9pm tonight, look for Whiterun and i'm under the name "Darius" Edited June 17, 2013 by Jimbob
Happenstance Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 I really dont see the point in time traveling. The whole appeal of this game for me is its real time nature, thats what keeps me playing the Animal Crossing games everyday for months or even a year or so. If I was to start getting things too quickly it would just give me less to do later.

Sod it, will time travel to get it and a few more pear/apple trees and hopefully an axe a little quicker. 9pm tonight, look for Whiterun and i'm under the name "Darius" I hope you have plenty of sweat rolls cos i've got light fingers
Ronnie Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Ok I'll be downloading this later on. Apparently you have to choose your preferred map layout at the start? Anyone have any tips for the best type of map to have, or is there no difference?
somme Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 When I start to time travel I know it's the beginning of the end and I'm getting bored. I shall delay it as long as possible.
