I did not know that and I got the achievement by popping all the Easter balloons. There were just too many of those things spawning when I was looking for the cherry blossom DIY. So glad they patched the eggs to spawn less everywhere. I still kept getting regular balloons though. I guess I just got lucky.@John Wick @TheDuke55
I meant the bug where no more balloons would spawn once you reached the last nook mile achievement for popping balloons. A lot of players reached that achievement during the Easter event and when they didn't find a single balloon on a day, they realised something was wrong. It was fixed in a patch soon after. Getting a golden slingshot was also impossible prior to that.
Kind of bad on their part. You'd think they would had tested some of this stuff. Like what happens years down the road if and when NH can no longer have updates. Someone who picks up this game will just have a glitched game after a while?
