New Update!

[Katelyn]

Stop complaining about the leaf tickets lol it?s possoble to get everything without purchasing them you just have to be patient. Idk what you guys expect, they?re not going to give everything away for free (even though the technically do if you give it time). The leaf tickets are pretty much for those that are impatient

This actually makes me more hopeful for a switch release. They don't typically do cash grabs like this on console games (except for dlc but that;s a different beast)

I don't mean cash grabs for the main installment. I'm talking about gameplay and basing the new AC off of PC, a spin-off.

Where the heck did the free Marshall cookie go?? The one we got in our mailbox? I can’t find it in my pocket

Should be in your pocket under the fortune cookie tab, where they have all the other tabs like the treats you get from Gulliver.

I am happy with most of the new content and updates, especially the ability to see how many items that you currently have when you walk over or capture said item(s). I wanted this exact feature since the game was released and even envisioned the little orange icon with the item number placed next to the shown off items.

However, this fortune cookie gambling/guessing racket at 50LT a pop is quite a shocker coming from Nintendo (based on how they handled in-game currency since the game launched). I don't mind paying 50 Leaf Tickets per item, but not if I already have it. Each purchase should be a guaranteed unique item, or make the gamble at a lower LT rate. This method is crazy.

I don't mind spending a reasonable amount of real money on this game each month, it's fun and entertaining, so I support it just as I do Pandora, Netflix, SiriusXM and other forms of entertainment. This is how Nintendo earns their PC revenue, so I get it, but I think this fortune cookie cash-grab effort is a little too bold. They should've started with a more realistic model.

I think that this is a result of most players not buying Leaf Ticket bundles as they made this game too easy to advance without the need to purchase anything. If you look at app grossing data/sites, compared to Japan and other markets, Pocket Camp is a revenue flop (by comparison) in the US and EU markets, so I am sure that the corporate side of Nintendo needs to do something about that. So now, they are trying a bit too hard to entice players to spend more (or to start spending). Which is kind of a bummer for those of us who have been financially supporting the game from day one (under the impression that the purchases were reasonable).

This reminds me of those obnoxious 'mystery' individually wrapped vinyl toy characters that you find down the toy isle at Target, etc. You have to buy them all to try and get every character, but the end result is having tons of the same character and never a complete set at any given store. These companies rely on kids begging their parents to get that one special character, which turns into massive sales of these 'mystery' characters. It's a major turn off - and even though I have plenty of money to buy complete sets for my nephews, it's the hassle and BS that I can do without.

I understand supporting the game every once in awhile, but when they pull stuff like this (we all know this is going to be a future occurance as they are a business trying to make money) and you pay up every single time, ask where all this money is going from your bank account, and you find out it is all from a mobile game, then it becomes an issue in my opinion. Using Leaf Tickets is okay, but the amount we have to use and amount of money we have to spend to buy Leaf Tickets to be able to play accordingly...

No it isn't! I've been playing since Day 1, had no issue with Leaf Tickets and gameplay. I got every single item available with Leaf Tickets. But not until Fishing Tourney Event was I not able to get the terrain due to the price. Etc. You get the point.

I don’t really understand the big deal 50 leaf tickets really doesn’t seem like that much and if you don’t want to spend money on it then don’t I got a 4 star-rarity item from buying one of the fortune cookies with bells

 

[iLoveYou]

They will ask for a piece of fruit and also ask what furniture they should give another animal. I've only enountered those two requests, there could be more.

To add on to this, they also ask for sea shells and you can choose one from your inventory.

On the bright side, you can purchase the fortune cookies for 5,000 Bells if you don't want to spend 50 Leaf Tickets. I only saw Rosie's pop-star cookie and Filbert's rocket cookie up to now though. Can someone else confirm if they saw Marshal's pastry cookie for 5,000 Bells too ?

Same here but those aren't the same items. Plus now I have to wait 23 hours to buy two more 500 bell fortunes instead of the first 8/9 hour wait. If it just keeps adding on time each time you buy fortune cookies with bells... What does Nintendo get out of that? Nothing. It doesn't have anything to do with LT, just patience to wait for 23 more hours for items you may receive again.

Really? I haven't been asked that! Maybe I don't have seashells on me, so they don't ask for it? I only see option to buy their cookies for 50 LT and I'm under 50.

Wait I think that is the "you'll see different types of fortune cookies at different times" thing so for you, the 5000 bell fortune cookies appeared but not for me yet.

 

[Bcat]

I’ve only had the generic cookies in stock. But they seem to change every hour?

I have a feeling their requests are random and maybe it won't matter whether you have items currently in your pockets / inventory or not. ^^

Yes that's right ! I had bought out the two fortune cookies and it said they would get re-stocked in three hours ( if I remember correctly ). So these were the new two ones that appeared.

My initial two cookies were the generic ones by the ways.

 

[Vizionari]

The stuff is so cute but I hate how high the leaf ticket price is for cookies :|

They change every hour for you? It has a restock time, for when you sell out, you can see it by going to map and tapping on Market Place.

Strange since I've had only fruit requests. Wow lucky you! I guess the wait time and cookie type is different for everyone then. Nintendo must hate me or something

On a side note, I did the special memory with Jay, Rosie, Goldie, and Apollo and that was cute!

 

[iLoveYou]

Oh one more thing .. when I bought and ate the fortune cookies that costed 5,000 Bells ( Filbert's and Rosie's ), they didn't count towards the stamp card.

...At least you get items though, right? I guess...?

Ya, you do still get an item.

 

[Garrett]

Just saw Filbert's cookie for 5,000 bells so got that and it was the memory, so that's two of the memories so far as I got Marshall's earlier.

Do you have to have them currently invited in your campsite to view the memory?

 

[Bcat]

My mistake . They don?t change every hour it was just the timing of when I played that made me think every hour and I didn?t notice the restock countdown.
It says 22 hours to more cookies.

Ya, I just bought out the two special fortune cookies and my timer says 22 hr 47 min. :{

 

[PugLovex]

Nice!

 

[MopyDream44]

Can someone else confirm if they saw Marshal's pastry cookie for 5,000 Bells too ?

I can confirm that Marshal's pastry cookie will show up in the bell section of the cookie shop. I paid 5k bells for my Marshal fortune cookie, and I ended up getting the checkout counter (one of the rare items). I went to the shop right before the camper rotation reset and at first there was a Marshal & Clothing cookie and it switched to a Marshal & Timmy cookie right after. I only purchased the Marshal cookie because I am hoping another special cookie will show up with the next rotation.

I agree the cost of the cookies using Leaf Tickets is high, but we can buy them at a slower pace with bells (though I'm still not certain about all the mechanics) and we have 58 days to collect all of the special furniture (presumably the regular furniture will not be tied to a time limit). Based on my experience so far, it feels like it will be entirely possible to collect everything in the cookies without having to spend Leaf Tickets, but it will be a much slower process. More information on the restocking process is needed to be sure, but I'm willing to wait a few days to play around with the new mechanics before I draw any final conclusions.

As for everything else in the update. I gotta say I'm stoked about being able to see how many fish/bugs you have in your inventory when you catch them. Very nice addition! Also, the menu for my craft materials was rearranged so that all of the like items are next to one another. I'm not sure if it will remain that way if I run out of a material, but I am loving the arrangement for now. I really wish we had an auto-sort feature for all of our menus though. Another small but highly appreciated feature is being able to see how many of an item you have in the favorites menu. I use my favorites menu as a list of items I haven't crafted yet, and I occasionally forget to un-favoite items after they were crafted. This new addition eliminates the need for me to double check my inventory before I remove items from my favorite list. I don't really have an opinion on the scrapbook yet, as I don't have any memories to watch, but I think I will remain fairly neutral on it even after I do. What I would love to see is a memory button you can press after a cut-scene you enjoyed that you can title and save to your scrapbook. That would appeal to me much more, but it could also take up a lot of space. Finally, the new villager requests are cute. It gives us a new way to interact with our campers and possibly connect with them more (similar to how we connect with them via the console versions).

Yes you have to havd them invited to your campsite.

So are the stamps/cards to trade for items that we don't get from fortunes or specifically want? I'm relieved to hear about the 5000 bells fortune cookies but the downtime is horrid!

 

[iLoveYou]

So are the stamps/cards to trade for items that we don't get from fortunes or specifically want?

The stamp cards can be traded in for specific items from any of the fortune cookie series. You need to colelct 10 stamps to fill a card. Each item from the fortune cookie series ( Marshal's, Rosie's and Filbert's ) costs a specific amount of stamp cards. They also added the old Christmas items as a series that can be earned from trading stamp cards. The good part is that you can choose which item you want instead of gambling for it.

So essentially there are multiple ways to get fortune cookies ( Bells or Leaf Tickets ) and multiple ways to get items ( randomly via fortune cookies or chosen via stamp cards ).

Yeah you just have to spend 500 tickets to get it...
