So wanted to start a thread for the November update, which could be 1-2 weeks away now.
What are your top predictions, hopes, what don’t you want to see. Let’s share and get speculating
Few caveats
So that’s me what are your predictions / hopes
What are your top predictions, hopes, what don’t you want to see. Let’s share and get speculating
Few caveats
- We know Franklin and Jingle are coming, fair to assume with the Harvest Festival and Toyday
- We know the update is dropping late November
- All thoughts opinions are welcome, please. be respectful
- Franklin and Harvest Festival
- So Franklin will bring with him a new Mechanic, cooking (seems a given at this point I know), along with new vegetables
- Cooking with be an all new mechanic, using a new item the cooking pot. Maybe even existing cooking stoves etc can be used as well, same how dream suites updated beds.
- Cooking will work slightly differently that diys, but keep the same core premise, we’ll find special cooking type diy cards and have a seperate nook phone app for recipes.
- Cooking recipes can have different qualities or star ratings for example a 1 star and 5 star rating, Eating different recipes will give different benefits, and can be given to villagers too, each villager with have a favourite dish
- Halloween will have been a bit of a warm-up to this so new vegetables will be introduced that can be grown same as pumpkins, nooks will also stock base ingrediants, such as wheat and milk.
- The harvest festival will be about collecting ingrediants and cooking a big feast for everyone on the island, as you cook different rated dishes Franklin will award you parts of the harvest festival set, cooking will become a preeminent mechanic.
- Jingle and Toyday
- Toyday has arrived a big decorated Christmas tree is on the left side of RS plaza, so daily visitors can still turn up.
For the month of December all villagers will have a new dialogue option what do you want for Toyday, they won’t give a specific answer only a vague hint, ‘something red and fun” for example, we’ll then need to go and find something of that description and wrap it up and put it under the big tree in RS plaza. - Jingle will appear on Christmas Eve, we”ll then need to dress as Santa and deliver all the presents under the tree, as well as our presents there will be presents form villagers to villagers.
- As well as the above, there will be new items and recipes for special toys and decorations, these items will be available daily from nooks and found in balloons etc. New decoration items will include garlands, wreaths, mini trees. Toys will include new interactive items and musical instruments like maracas and a trumpet.
- Toyday has arrived a big decorated Christmas tree is on the left side of RS plaza, so daily visitors can still turn up.
- Brewster and the Roost
- So I made a post before about why I think we could still get the Roost in November, and while nothing would make me happier, I’m putting it here as a hope, because if all the above does come it would be a chunky update to also get the roost. Still it’s not impossible as April was a big update and we could round off 2020 nicely.
- The Roost would arrive as a stand-alone building, bringing Brewster and coffee, same mechanics as before in NL. We can work in the Roost and make coffee for our villagers, doing a good job earns rewards. Special NPCs would also appear daily so we can learn a bit more about their backstory sharing a coffee with them.
- This is an extra hopeful, but cooking is integrated into the roost, so we can also cook snacks for villagers too as well as coffee.
- I know Gyroids are tied to Brewster but could see gyroids coming later as an update to the roost and museum.
- New clothing
- I’m a sucker for new clothing and while I think we won’t see any major new clothing updates until a full year of game play so we see the full seasonal clothing lines, I do hope we get some more items outside of say Santa’s outfit for toy day. Maybe some themed jumpers etc, it it’s a push
- Updates / mechanics
- Some little tweaks would be nice but I’m not holding out, ability to buy more multiples from nooks or buy in bulk from the nookstop etc.
So that’s me what are your predictions / hopes
