S.C.G Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Well, I'm glad that part of the game is over, for now... I just finished getting all the materials and making all the stuff so that three new residents can join the island. I looked at the signs and it looks like the following residents will be moving in... AL, Norma and Sprinkle Are these good residents? Or should I start drafting their leaving letters now?

Appeared in my plaza as soon as K.K. Slider had left, so maybe it needs open spaces. Perhaps I have too many flowers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 Do they keep growing randomly or is it just the one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheikah Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Do they keep growing randomly or is it just the one?The keep appearing every so often on the edge of cliff tops, so long as you keep your island 5 stars. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aneres11 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 That’s why I haven’t bought turnips this week. Putting them on my island drops my rating which was stopping the flower spawning. I could have dumped them in my house, but meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aneres11 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Redd is visiting my other island today (Cinnabar) for the first time. I’ve just bought the first painting off him but he hasn’t told me to visit his boat? When I try to access the boat the game won’t let me move onto the sand. Is this right for the first visit? I was sure that the first time he visited my first island he told me to go back to the boat? Or maybe I got it wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grazza Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 The chances of getting certain visitors has been discovered: Sahara, Kicks and Leif guaranteed every week on weekdays Other two weekday slots filled by either Gulliver, Flick, C.J., Label or Redd https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/05/animal_crossing_new_horizons_datamine_reveals_spawn_rates_of_special_characters Now personally I feel there are too many characters since the update. My favourites are C.J. and Flick and I'm not enjoying it as much since they don't appear so often. Gulliver, Sahara and Redd are not favourites of mine, but do serve a purpose. Kicks and Label, I feel, could easily become part of the existing clothes shop once you've bought enough from them, a bit like how Mabel no longer takes up a visitor slot. Leif could have a garden centre section of Nook's Cranny. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they have the balance right tbh, you like CJ and Flick but I think a lot of people want more Redd and Saharah. The only one I think I overstays his welcome is Kicks, i don't think he needs to be guaranteed once a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aneres11 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 So how long do you guys traditionally play AC for then? Appreciate it may differ with each game in the series, but I’ve sunk hours and hours into the first island and looking to do the same again on my second. I am still visiting my first island daily to check in with villagers, get DIY’s, weed, smash rocks, visit resident services for Nook miles etc and feel like it’s part of a daily routine now. I know some of you have said you are hoping more items, shops and QoL things get added, but say they don’t, is this something you see yourself playing for a while still? Just curious really as I played New Leaf but hardly even scratched the surface with it. I think because this game has been so huge on social media and I’ve been able to see early on what kind of island you can create, it’s had me invested since day one. Is it a game you see yourself coming back to daily for the foreseeable? Or are you just looking to reach a certain milestone and then park it for a while? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowserBasher Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 The games have always lasted me a year at least. Just to complete my museum with fish an bugs. But even then I’ll still play them daily. Since online was added they have lasted longer as much of the time would’ve playing with friends, so this should be the same. Hopefully with this there will be added content that will make this game last a lot longer. At least the life of the Switch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 (edited) Personally I expect to be playing for a full year or so, but if Nintendo put out constant updates with new items, villager dialog, shops, features etc. for a long while, I'll probably stick with it even longer than that. The game's such an enormous hit I can't believe they won't want to constantly add over the next year or two (or even longer!). I played New Leaf for 20 minutes or so a day for about a year. I've doubled my total playtime in NL with New Horizons in just a couple of months, just because there's so much more to do in it! It's why I'm in no rush to finish my museum or make a fortune in bells. happy to take those things slow. Edited May 18, 2020 by Ronnie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I can see myself stopping soon to be honest. I've got one more house payment to pay (and got the money in the bank, just was holding off for turnips) and then I'll sort out my house and the island and then I'll probably get bored of it. I'm not interested in getting all the achievements and livestock. May dip in if there's more free content (hopefully a bit more in-depth than "walk around the museum" ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've barely touched it for the last week, as my house is paid off, I only need a few more fossils and they just weren't appearing at all, I want to rearrange my island but its so cumbersome only being allowed to move one thing a day. I'll probably still jump on when there's something new to see, but the day to day chores, while I enjoyed them for a month and a half, it's not really pulling me back at the moment. And I really can't be arsed with flowers! Maybe I'll get a second wind, I think it's partly the monotony of lockdown getting to me too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
