New Auto-Save feature, Mr. Resetti has lost his job

[KeatAlex]

Auto save doesn’t really change much if you’re careful. Sure accidents happen but not running over a flower by being more careful is a good alternative. Same for selling anything or whatever. Just gotta take it slow. The thing where autosave really is a con, at least that I can see, is that if you’re in multiplayer and someone ruins your town you won’t be able to turn off WiFi and get it back if it’s already autosaved.

 

[ScaryGhosts]

people talking like they?ve already played the game so they know exactly when, where and how often auto save occurs

LOL

the pessimism I?ve seen about ONLY the first trailer and gameplay footage is disheartening

It?s disheartening that they ?fixed? something that wasn?t broken. I?m not mad about it, it just seems like a bad move, but you?re right, maybe there will still be a way to reset somehow.

I must say, the only reason why we hate the autosave feature is because we're huge control freaks when it comes to decorating our towns.

*Drops Mic*

The thing is, they give us more control with villager house placement and probably more, yet take it away with resetting. It?s fine, i just don?t understand why.

I don’t mind auto-save for the most part, but then I really hope they don’t have it where villagers can decide to stay once you tell them to go ahead and move (if they do keep the moving mechanic from NL, which I hope they don’t) and make the game auto-save right there.

 

[Dim]

Hopefully we can turn it off?

 

[Sprinkles_penguin]

I don't know how to feel about auto-save. I think it's OK, as you have the power to decide where the villagers place their houses. Anyways I'm grateful that guy is gone, he used to cause nightmares to the 10-year-old me, after he threatened to delete my village.

As much as it does have the ability to ruin resets, don't get so angry about it with only some things revealed about the game. until the game is fully made and features of the game are revealed, we don't know if its gonna really destroy gameplay, and such a small addition shouldn't stop a person from playing the game in its entirety. They said the game has auto-save, they just simply didn't mention if the feature had an on-off switch, we'll have to wait and see for it. They probably added it from a suggested feature (just speculation, but it makes sense some fans would ask for it). Now it is sad for resetti, but he is gonna have another job, so he probably won't stop yelling at us.

I love how this game is addressing all the things players obsessively exploited in order to achieve what they perceived as perfection. Manual saves were a relic times long past and was in no way there for people to exploit. Nintendo saw what people were doing with it and made a perfectly acceptable and believable in-game version of it for everyone.

This also means that cloud saves may be supported now, which is by far and large the most important thing that they could add.

I highly doubt there will be an on/off option, otherwise why make a big deal about Resetti getting a new job? This is to stop cheating/duplicating first and foremost and likely to make it compatible with the NSO cloud save feature.

auto-save on loop every eighth of a second, bring it on

literally the only valid concern

 

[Chouchou]

Who says it auto-saves after every 3 seconds? Maybe its's like Anno ands saves every 15 minutes or so. Please don't panic everyone. Maybe you have a button to set it to the normal save options. A lot of games give you that choice.

 

[Warrior]

Honestly? if the game enforces autosave and locks the time (no time travel) I will be very, very happy. It means we'll have to play the game as it was actually intended, to relax, not to min max essentially lol.

Yes this! I respect the people who put in the tima and effor tto plan out every single thing in 5+ towns but I like how autosave makes you relax. Just be careful with your flowers and stuff. And if you destroy one, geez, plant another one. It's a relaxing game y'all.

 

[Mokuren]

I am okay with autosave but not with a locked time. If someone, like me, loves time traveling he or she should be able to do so! That's part of the freedom. I had more fun playing it like this. A locked time would be awful for a lot of people.

 

[Rosalie1991]

Wow! Great news! I love this. I hope they timelock - I don’t like the idea of timetraveling af how other people abused it. Glad they will get rid of all of that. Seems like I‘m the only one who is happy with that, but I think the reset button or timetravel where not mechanics of the game, most players just make it and it feels cheaty for me

 

[Burumun]

Not that happy, but as some people have mentioned, as long as it doesn't auto-save too often, it should be fine.

TT'ing is an intended feature, though. If it weren't, there would be harsher penalties, like in Pok?mon and Nintendogs where daily events are locked for 24h after changing the time (even just adjusting 1h for daylight savings), and AC wouldn't allow you to change the time in-game, which allows you to change the time in-game without affecting other games that don't allow TT'ing.

I would hate if the game disables time travel, despite me not going to time travel (And keeping my first town) in New Horizons. It just makes rare items a little more common that you can farm by time travelling back and forth to the date again and again. The same with DLC. They can be farmed by getting it in your town, holding it in another town, restart your town so you can get the item again and repeat.

If time travel was removed in New Horizons, we'd have a controversy.

Everyone should play the way he wants. There is no harm in time traveling. There are people wo have to work during holidays like christmas or simple don't have time because they have kids. TT is maybe the only option for some people. Also if I want to TT because I am really fast bored it's up to me and nobody else. There is no harm in skipping a day or two. I hope they don't remove the option it's for a lot of people a reason to not buy the game at all.

Then they don’t should buy it. TT was never a ingame feature the devs wanted to have in their game. If the absent of TT makes people don’t want to buy the game then they aren’t true fans either and it won’t affect the sells at all. It was exploitet till Vallhala and it should go. You have 4 games of the series where you can exploit it as much as you want - for ME (I mark this one, FOR ME, my opinion) I‘m glad it’s gone. I see a lot of people have a different opinion about this and how they want to play the game.
They should decrease the time for a villager moving out though. I was never a fan of the 5 to 10 days to move out which the update causes

I agree 100%.

I time travel all the time as by the time I'm done working, the day has ticked over and I have to set it back so I don't lose anybody.

I don't know why people are putting down time travel at all.

It is essential for me.

 

[LeAckerman]

Ngl, it made me sad to hear that. Even though I wasn't a big fan of Resetti and never built the reset center in NL.
I just want characters to return some way, so I hope we could see resetti chilling somewhere in the game

It is a ingame feature. The devs are aware of TTing why else is there a ingame clock in every game and I don't see that this feature is even gone. And it's not up to you to decide who is a fan and who is not. I am almost 30 and I have many things I have to take care of in real life. When I want a break I sit down and play video games and sometimes I just don't have the time for certain festivals.
So I should wait a year to experience it? I played ac since I am a kid and I don't need others to tell me if I am a fan or not Actually I think it's important to accept other players way of playing. Someone wants to do plot resseting; dublicate items; spring into 2300? Cool with me. As long as others are nice to each other everything is good because the real problem are the toxic players who destroy your town or scam you.

I never have the feelilg others are affected of what you do in your own town! Your town your way to play

Maybe there are some mistakes english is not my mother tongue
