Animal Crossing: New Horizons

I FINALLY GOT THAT STUPID STURGEON! WOOO! I've been trying to get that stupid thing to spawn for two days!

[Moonface]

Wish the notice board stated the fishing tourney today ended at 6pm. I booted my game right as it ended because I thought it was all day.

I'm time traveling back go finish it out. But oh noes it's not allowed by the interenets. Too bad I don't care. XD

I think the game should give you the option of when events on singular days take place. By that I mean choose if Daisy Mae arrives from 5am to 12pm, or 10pm to 5am. If I worked on Sunday's I would never be able to see her unless I log in before 6am, which is ridiculous. Same for the fishing tourney, let us choose to have it in the first half of the day or the second half, so people who have other obligations don't miss out. It's a stupid system that relies on you having nothing else going on at the time those things happen.

A lot of people were already saying that they should be able to also opt out of the Easter event if they don't want to take part in them.

I get why people would want that, but I think the better solution upfront is for Nintendo to not have an event intrude so heavily on regular aspects of the game. The Easter balloons are a good example, they didn't interfere at all with normal balloon spawns. Leaf eggs weren't too bad either, and same for earth eggs; however, the water, wood, and rock eggs ranged from just tolerable to outright awful. There's generally enough trees that their eggs don't heavily screw you over out of the regular drops, whereas rock eggs have a higher chance to mess you up because you only get about 4 or 5 rocks per main island. Water eggs turned fishing into a nightmare, especially when it's used heavily for money making and people want to catch all the fish that will leave this month or became new this month so they can get their museums filled.

If more of the eggs were like the sky eggs, then I think people would've been less pissed off with it.

For those who want to see it, there's a datamine that reveals a lot of new content that might come to this game in the future. I'll link it so that way you can avoid it if you want to: https://animalcrossingworld.com/2020/04/...rs-coming/

If you want to talk about it, I ask that you use spoiler tags so anyone who wants to be surprised can remain so.

Datamine Thoughts

I'm not shocked to see the Museum will get new content. I felt like that was going to happen at some point anyway because it could only take a year to fill the whole museum if you manage to get everything before it disappears, and even then with the whole live updating system the game is going for it would be weird to not update the Museum when I expect Able Sisters and Nook's Cranny will both get new items to sell through future updates.

Bushes will be neat to add more foliage to the islands. Right now it's just flowers and trees although you do get bushes on your starter house, which now makes the idea of no bushes feel really weird. XD

I'm surprised Redd will use the secret beach and not the pier. It would make sense for him to dock at the pier because you know, that's where a boat would dock, but I guess if he's some black market dealer then the secret beach fits with the whole trying to not be open about it. Except for anyone who decides to set up houses and shops near the back of their island and dig away all the cliffs around that particular beach so everyone can see his boat just sitting there.

Cooking sounds neat but I don't really get what the point would be unless you can place the food items down, like if you baked a cake you could put it on the table or something.

I haven't been playing for a lil while I"m probably just going to do an extra long week of catch up once classes are finished.

[Moonface]

I haven't played very much lately. I pretty much just log in, talk to everyone, check the stores, check the Nook Miles machine, and then deal with my fossils. The grind for villagers to get K.K. Slider to turn up and unlock terraforming got a little tedious in regards to making money. It's annoying to play late at night when the good money bugs turn up.

What new feature are you most excited to see come to your island?

[ShiraNoMai]

Loved the bushes update! The more nature elements, the better

What are everyone's villager species? We've got a monkey, penguin, bear, deer, hamster, hippo, cow, and now we just invited a mouse...

I just saw this concept idea on Reddit and it absolutely needs to happen!

Congrats @"sunshine queen"! Did you need to have eight of both bridges and inclines to get that or did you manage it with less?

Nope, I managed ot get to 5 stars with less. Hehe. 
5 bridges & 5 inclines. Everything else was my adding more fensing & more tables to the outdoor sun bathing & seating area I have around my beach area. I also don't have a themed town like most people have, cause it's way too much work: but I still got to 5 stars.
