Chapinator_X Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I just got Nooks Crannies to open and two neighbors moved in. I’m honestly not much of a fan of the DIY function where I have to make the interior and exterior for all of my neighbors. It makes it so that I have to wait several days before there’s enough rock-based resources for me to finish crafting the six items they want. Coming out of Breath of the Wild, it’s also miserable to have the Tools break apart in the blink of an eye. The entire game just feels like a back-and-forth mad dash from where I need to be to my workshop and back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptorpat Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Once you make that first bridge and the first set of three houses, you don't really have to do that kind of resource-gathering for building up the town, bridges and houses and stuff just cost bells like olden times 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueraven1999 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Just wanted to share this video here. This guy is a great Poketuber but he's been streaming Animal Crossing on Sundays and just uploaded a Animal Crossing video. It's pretty good. I just watched it and thought some of you guys might like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueraven1999 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) Last Saturday I finally got my island to five stars after I added more fences. I have two golden tools now. Also after more than a month of trying to get rid of Leopold, he finally left. I was hoping to get a cute squirrel or bear cub, but I settled for Biskit. At least Biskit is cute.

Raptorpat Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 That being said I started picking up shells yesterday for a nookmiles task (really the first time since the original I bothered cuz there's more lucrative stuff out there), so I had an inventory full of shells today and I caught anny first arowana while standing on a bridge. Turns out you can't drop items on bridges so I tragically had to release it which means I have to catch another for Blathers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueraven1999 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I'm looking forward to the Fall update though I'm still having a little fun with the game. I actually played on the nights of the star showers and actually got several Libra star fragments which I'm happy about. Had enough to make the Libra scales and I still have four left over so I'm going to ask some of my friends like Bloodhawk to see if they want any. Loved the September update of pinecones and acorns. Had a lot of fun this month crafting those items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountFrylock Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 does anyone even care that much about playing this anymore?.....feels like nothing much of substance is added in updates and it's just more events to grind for furniture/clothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptorpat Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 The updates are adding the seasonal content, with minor additions/QOL. There's definitely more QOL stuff they could do, but they recently announced they're going to keep doing updates for as long as the game has a player base.

Crafting wasn't in previous Animal Crossing games. I liked it better without the crafting to be honest. Crafting Wasn't in previous AC Games as mentioned by this comment and crafting is where the grind comes into play tools that break so you have to craft new ones before you can craft anything else.... events are all about collecting materials and crafting them to make more items... before NH....Crafting didn't even exist in AC so I'm not sure how the holiday events were always like this Edited November 22, 2020 by CountFrylock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptorpat Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 here is the full list of events so far: https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Events_(New_Horizons). easter was the only holiday solely centered around crafting, with the eggs and yeah everyone agreed it was tedious because there were no other components to it. you could entirely skip crafting in the halloween event, which just helped you get most of the items prior to the actual event. thanksgiving would probably lean towards crafting - but collecting raw ingredients for franklin was part of the even in prior iterations so that. yes, tools breaking can be annoying, and there is a definite need for QOL changes to the crafting process (crafting multiples in bulk, crafting multiple phases of tools at once), but having crafting as an additional option in and of itself is only a net positive. and there's no requirement that anyone spend time crafting. 90% of the time I play just like I did in old games - I spend a half hour or 45 minutes mentally decompressing by doing a loop around my island, finding all the fossils and talking to each villager once, working on museum stuff, then I visit the store/sell off that inventory and stop playing for the day. no one is holding a gun to anyone's head forcing them to craft and I generally don't spend any time crafting, but that the additional option is there certainly isn't a negative.

blueraven1999 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I'm looking forward to Festivale. It's my favorite Animal Crossing holiday. I've been mostly playing on my second AC island Knothole lately. It's coming along nicely. Got my second copy of AC for Christmas so I've been having fun with it. It's easier to play on my lite than the regular Switch in handheld mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueraven1999 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 It's been a long time since I last posted in this thread. A couple weeks ago I finally caught my last fish on my first AC island HillValley. I made my golden fishing rod last week. There's one last bug and deep sea creature to catch this year before I finish them off. Should be able to catch the bug soon. Think I'm only missing the golden stag. I'd been barely playing my first copy since I've been on my second island Knothole since just after last Christmas, but I made a little Godzilla area recently and added toy helicopters to surround it that I bought last year. Plus I added a little bit of wire fence. I think it looks pretty cool. Also I finally decided to terraform this one area near Able Sisters so I could have another bridge. I've never liked terraforming so I barely did any to either of my islands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's normally the case when you compare towns to your own. Personally I prefer towns with a more rustic feel. I think most towns have too much stuff in them and not enough trees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's best to play Animal Crossing a little at a time. The Halloween fence is my favorite fence so far. I haven't played my second copy of Animal Crossing much ever since I finished paying off my last incline last week. Tonight I'll probably go back to playing on my first island HillValley so I can start looking for my last bug the golden stag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueraven1999 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 The new update has been fun so far. I've unlocked Redd, Leif, and Katrina on both of my islands so far. I have tomatoes and potatoes on my second island and I've been growing wheat and sugarcane on my first. Haven't found carrots yet. I like cooking. I wasn't going to get the paid dlc, but since I've been bored I got it for my second island. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
