Most people haven't even been able to play online yet. Online literally just unlocked today for most people playing the game.Some of you are really offended by the fact that most people seem to have no Issues with the online.
the issue isn't the camera, it's the fact that only the "leader" can use items and tools and talk
Also to use items and tools online, you have to add someone as a best friend.
That's literally what it is. I don't understand how it's different. The only difference is there's no option to open it to the public without a passcode. Having to pause everything when someone is just arriving is annoying thoughIn MHW when you start a quest you are essentially starting a online room anyone can join at any point.
Opening your gate in Animal Crossing should be just like opening a quest in Mon Hun. You can lock it so that only those with the passcode can join if you are so inbliged or you can just open it to the public. Then people could look up what islands are available for visiting and then pick one and go.
Yeah, online restricts "destructive" tools to best friends, for obvious reasons
I think the airport is to mask the loading. I don't think they're intentionally making the process take longer than it needs to just for the airport stuffIt is still cumbersome, and while making it feel like an actual airport terminal is quirky, in reality you're still waiting minutes before jumping into playing with someone else. It was a painful system in New Leaf and it is still a painful system now.
But what is the host loading?I think the airport is to mask the loading. I don't think they're intentionally making the process take longer than it needs to just for the airport stuff
Yeah, pretty much this. Once you're in, it works pretty much exactly like I'd want it to work.Only issue I've had thus far is the long-ass time it takes for everyone to join, which really needs to be sorted.
I think that a platform like the Switch allows for more growth. Bigger towns, free camera, more verticality. That's what I imagined Animal Crossing to be when the Switch came out and I don't think anything like those ideas are too crazy ambitious to implement. Please note that I'm not saying the game is bad. Like I said, I am enjoying it. I also know that obviously most people are loving it too, but that doesn't mean that it could've been even better. Take Zelda for example, when the Wii U came out a lot of people would've been fine with a Zelda that was like that Giant Spider demo that they showed at E3, which is basically Twilight Princess but in HD. I don't think many people thought of a massive open world as something that the series needed but when people got it they loved it.What you mean by potential??
most fans are happy by the game and how improve on past ones, most complains are from missing some content from past games.
I didn't realize that. That's even lamer. You know, after Splatoon 1 and 2 I was excited that this team was building experience with multiplayer and online, but in retrospective, and as much as I adore those two games, they weren't a good sign for Animal Crossing's MP lol.
Ive since found out this was wrong
both players can use items and tools but only the leader gets a pocket and can use the menu and enter doors
On couch coop, only the "leader" can use their menu, talk, and use doors. The leader can switch to other players but it's frustrating for gathering stuff together. I haven't tried system to system multiplayer yet
why do i even need dodo codes and Nintendo friends codes. Just let me go to a random island to shake trees Nintendo.
This is such a bad response.The process is exactly the same as previous AC games. With a few tweaks, like Dodo codes, which make connecting with strangers much more straightforward.
It works fine. I've been online all day with zero issues.
Your WiFi sucks.
I'm just used to it. It's how Animal Crossing has been since the DS version. It's not a reflection of Nintendo or their abilities. It's a design choice by the producers of Animal Crossing. There is nothing "tragic" about the online mode.This is such a bad response.
I'm sorry but you're playing it down because you like the game. I'm like what? 10-12 hours in? I adore the game
The online is bad
if you visit a island that is open to the public and you have to stop what you're doing every single time a new player joins? Is horrible game design. It's horrible. The person should just appear.
Everyone on the island shouldn't have to be frozen in place and watch the incoming players loading screen. That is poor poor decision.
I can only pray that Microsoft or Sony makes a similar game with a more seamless online experience.
if i open up my gates to my friends and me and my friends have to sit through saved screens and loading screens when we are already there on the island? That is just backwards. Why can't Nintendo get this online thing right?
Please say sikeI'm just used to it. It's how Animal Crossing has been since the DS version. It's not a reflection of Nintendo or their abilities. It's a design choice by the producers of Animal Crossing. There is nothing "tragic" about the online mode.
They check in the dodo airport or maybe the nooklink in the NSO app too.Can I ask, if I open my gate, how do people on my friends list know?
This would be so bad...why do i even need dodo codes and Nintendo friends codes. Just let me go to a random island to shake trees Nintendo.
Can I mail gifts /letters to online player/friends? (Not my island residents)
For real. There is no defending just how cumbersome it is. Talking to the dodo and stuff is fine, I like it. But all the extra stuff shouldn't even happen. It's bad enough when 1 person comes over but a group of 7? It's a fuckin mess. Just got done with an 8 player session and it makes me not want to do it again it's so time consuming.Yeah, it's pretty awful, and the issues have absolutely nothing to do with quality of internet connection. You can't join someone's game if they are in a menu or talking to someone and have to keep trying hoping that they are no longer doing those things. Then if you do manage to get in, you get a message telling you to please close your menus since someone is trying to join. You then have to watch a loading screen of that person's join progress. And then you also have to watch a thing if someone leaves. It's ridiculous.
