The Night Owl Ordinance was sorely missed for me because of my work schedule so getting it back is excellent.
Animal Crossing Direct - October 15th (OP now includes a summary of announcements)
- Thread starter Serebii
- Start date
My god. Watching again the part with the new Nook Miles Shopping stuff, they added sooooo much more stuff to buy. Including so many more amusement park rides. I can finally actually make an amusement park. God I wish I could have a bigger island. Plus the fact that all that stuff can *allegedly* all be customized by Reese and Cyrus to change to the alternate versions peoples islands are gonna become so much more amazing. I am totally expecting a huge resurgence in New Horizons YouTubers in a few weeks. Some of them have been getting burned out. But a lot haven't. But all the ones who didn't get burned out have just been spending time either visiting peoples dreams or completely redoing their islands over and over. So I'm sure they're all super ecstatic.
Man I cannot wait. I was not expecting to be this excited.
Man it would be neat if you could actually design a school or hospital and then move it over to your actual island as a new building. Then again, I wish we could have a bigger island. lol
I wonder how many custom homes you'll be able to store on the system if there's a limit.

I think the update looks really fantastic, as well as the DLC. They basically SMM2'd us with dropping all of this content at once. I do wonder if there are any surprises though? There's a few datamined things I can think of that did not pop up in this direct...
My only disappointment is that the new shops can't be added to your own island, as I really wanted to bolster out my town with more buildings. I feel like the obvious solution would be to make it an optional thing, if you can squeeze an extra building onto your island you simply get the bonus of added convenience. Otherwise, you can keep all the shops on Harv's island if you prefer. Oh well.

Well no they wouldn't make it "bigger". They'd make it taller. Basically just put a little extension off the left angled roof section implying there's something more in there. Of course they wont expand any buildings. All the buildings footprints remain the same from the beginning even if the building is tiny. The players house started with a tiny square building and the left and right side was just filled with two bushes on each side. As you added new rooms each side would be filled with the house extension and the other side still had bushes until you expanded again. For the museum they'd just build upwards. But I can see them not wanting to go too tall. I'm just surprised it didn't change at all for the addition like it did for the art exhibit. But it's not a big deal. Just an observation.
I just hope that people without Amiibo can still visit the coffee shop and still have all their villagers and residents show up there over time. I don't want to have to invite Mable to get her and Sable to show up like is implied. They already live here, so I hope they just appear there from time to time. I just want make sure I'll have a reason to visit the coffee shop if I don't own Amiibo.
What I wouldn't give to be able to buy a permit that lets me modify/expand the beach and the edges of the grass that meets the beach.
I have so many bells and so many miles. I can't wait to spend them all on this new stuff.
So is it confirmed that those visitors that end up setting up shop on Harv's island will be always there? If so what's the point of them visiting? Seems like they'd be losing their appeal if you can just go see them anytime you want. I'm sure they put in some restrictions or limitations or something.
They actually very easily could have hit 50, they didn't get every gcn villager back in I don't think, even with this set.
Maybe they have items exclusive to their visits or just at Harv's? Either way, I'm over waiting for the visitors I like to show up throughout the week. I didn't find it fun.
Yeah, like I said, that's also super odd to me. Why not at least fill 50? If with no villagers then they could have added 2 more useless special cards to reach that. Just odd.
Poor Champ
Only cut neighbor between CF and NL, and then just never comes back despite Porter not being in this game at all

So excited for this update and the DLC! My daughters still play a couple of times a week, and they are going to flip out. I can't wait to show them the Direct.
I mean, no main AC game has received this much support. Like, even events getting small updates was a nice surprise. They did say no major updates, so I assume we might get small QoL updates or event updates, perhaps. Or just new items from time to time.
God dammit I forgot about him and he STILL didn't make it in :(Pigleg my beloved, we will be together again someday...
Has there been or will there be an update that shows you if you've owned the item already, like in a checklist/catalog of sorts? Especially when at the shop or when you're purchasing something so you don't waste money on a duplicate?
I'm not talking about the full catalog that registers everything you've bought in your menu. I just want something that says "Owned 1" next to an item when I'm about to buy it lol (and I don't want to use some external 3rd party application).

They could reshuffle the visitor schedule again so that if you have built their shop, they may no longer visit you on your island. I'm fine with this if they are going to do it like that, this really helps especially with Redd's arts. Then again I'm just putting out a wild guess, we'll have to see what is in place once the update is up.
If you've ever seen any of the hacked images of what the things in outdoor areas look like from other angles, you'll know why they don't. This only lets you point the camera in the same direction.
The Plaza is gonna be so damn helpful regardless. Fuckin' Redd showed up so few times before I took a break from the game. It was annoying.
Incredible presentation, had almost everything I could imagine wanting. Not gonna lie, I got misty seeing the return of my boy Kapp'n his song from the GCN version is tattooed on my brain.
Will be buying the DLC day one as well. Think I'll go standalone, not sold on the NSO expansion yet.
Will def be getting as many Amiibo cards as I can find too. Need a card for my girl Reneigh and a chance to finally get Raymond.

Agreed, I've been replaying my 300+ hours save file daily since early September, and Redd appeared 3 times, one time all painting was fake, this is ridiculous lol
Any indication we will get more custom design slots? I already don't have enough for all the little custom sections of my island, have had to drop entire sections because I don't have any space to make custom patterns :(

it's a miracle we got 100 as is. I wouldn't think so because it would have been announced right next to the patterns update in the direct, but fingers crossed.
your island must be poppin though if you've used all 100 >.> I've used like a third and I feel like it's too much
They said no major FREE updates. Sounds like any further major updates will be paid DLC.
I guess I have some redundant ones, but if you are making a quilt for example, that can be 6-9 slots right there lol.
Any substantial QOL changes? I only played for a bit before stuff like 'you can only craft one at a time' annoyed me too much to keep playing
A few ones I can remember: more storage, there's an item that lets you can access your storage at home and an ATM item to access bells (instead of using the one at the town hall).
I'm wondering the same thing. It would be weird if they just rip the DLC items out of your island when your sub lapses.
You will have the items and techniques you learned but lose access to the archipelago
You'll keep the items and techniques but lose access to the resort itself if your sub lapses.
They've clarified that the game will not have more paid DLC coming either.

Okay I neglected the game in the last 1-2 months but yeah I'm back in. Yes some of it feels so amazing because the base-game was really lacking but eh, 2.0 and the DLC are amazing! :D
It's available separately for $25. Or other prices depending on country.
It's $25 stand alone, or you 'rent' access to it if you use the latest NSO bundle. You don't need both, either will do.
I saw the hh paradise had a desert area, I wasn't super focused on the direct so may have missed it but can you collect desert items like cacti for your main island via Kapp'n trips?
I guess you could use cacti furniture outside if you wanted.

The only desert related items I saw was the cacti, but I saw it being used in an interior so it looks to be like a piece of furniture.
Given that the cactus was part of the western furniture in old games, I'm willing to bet there are other items like the tumbleweed and wagon.
Also the interior part I saw with the cactus was as part of the DLC, not the Kapp'n tour, FYI.
SO MUCH CONTENT. This is desperately what the game needs, even if it is like a year too late.
Love the new free stuff and damn the DLC seems super sizable and has a lot of new exciting stuff going on.
Someone please tell me that despite it not being mentioned, we still should get Nook Cranny upgrades? Like how the hell are we still stuck on the second one, I want Nookington's damn it.

Do we know if the different islands, when they are of a different season if there are bugs and fish that are only found in those seasons so we don't have to wait a stinkin year to fill up the museum?
I mean I'd imagine that's the whole point of having different season islands. Like what other point would there be for them to exist?
I imagine that's the point of them. In the trailer they showed a season crafting material (snowflakes), and I'd have to imagine it would have the corresponding fish and insect. Possibly even seasonal DIY recipes in bottles?
This is also the last paid DLC you will see for Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
