? The Next Update

[Mad Aly]

Hmm... Not sure what we'll get in terms of a seasonal update, but I do hope they will add more custom design slots and things like that! Just some features that would make things so much easier and more convenient~

I was just thinking how much I hate deleting every letter one by one. Wouldn’t a QOL update be super sweet that lets us delete all the letters at once?
*looking at you HHA*

I really hope for a quality-of-life update. I mean, they probably couldn't do this last year because changing something so fundamental probably takes some time. But maybe this or the next update could improve the UI a bit

It is unfortunate, but bulk-deleting letters is going to be as unlikely to be added to the game as bulk-crafting...

Probably, yeah... But they've had a lot of time now to add stuff like bulk-crafting. Maybe for the anniversary update.

I wouldn't even expect bulk crafting. I feel like that is one of those tiny things that the developers are firm on because of their vision for the game.

I get your point, but this seems more like a problem that is caused by the lack of updates to the UI compared to older games in the series, not really the design philosophy behind the game. And even if that is the case, this is something that was universally criticized. So maybe they realize that this is something that fans really want. But yeah, I wouldn't count on it to happen...

I am curious. I have been seeing people say they want the UI to change, but how is the UI bad this time? I find it rather smooth in this iteration. What could change about it to make it better?

Is it just about the repetitive speech menus for shopping, the airport, and things of that nature? Or is it something about the item menu?

The repetitive speech menus are one of the problems. But for me it it's more the smaller things. For example, whenever Leif shows up, I want to purchase multiple bushes because I don't know when he'll visit my island again. You can only buy 5 at a time, though. So if I want to buy more than that, just in case, it basically becomes mashing the A-button. The same applies to crafting in bulk. As NH requires you to buy tools more often or craft them, it feels even more apparent than in NL.

I got my hopes too high the previous times. I don’t see what I really want (gyroids, brewster, dead trees) happening in the next update. I think it’s just Pave. Keeping my expectations low. I don’t even like the pave set.

Maybe the year anniversary on March will be big? Here I’m hoping since March is my birthday

That makes sense! I guess I think of that more as menu options than UI. It would be nice to purchase things in bulk. Especially customizing kits.

Have a feeling the trailer drops today..idk why

I think yours is the better expression for it. I don't think this update will include anything like that, but I'm hopeful they tackle it this year.

For every, "The trailer's going to drop today. I can feel it." Nintendo is delaying the trailer and update by a day. My uncle works at Nintendo and he told me so.

Well, they announced that the next update is about to come out in "Late January", so I would guess either they gonna say something this week (which can be only today or tomorrow, not sure if they ever announced something on a weekend?) or sometime at the beginning of the next one. Since it's about Pavé, I personally hope for a comeback of that Festivale outfit which was available in New Leaf (loved the head piece with those big pink feathers) along with a updated version of the Pavé series (probably gonna be something like DIYs where you need feathers to craft them).

Maybe the year anniversary on March will be big? Here I’m hoping since March is my birthday

It wouldn't surprise me if they gonna withheld The Roost and/or any new bigger features for a 2.0.0 update which they gonna drop in March to celebrate the 1st year anniversary of the game. Otherwise it would be disappointing if they not making a huge deal about it.

I feel the same about the March update. I personally would prefer them spreading out features over more update instead of giving us one big and lots of smaller ones, but I have high hopes for the anniversary. Man, it's almost been a year already...

Since this is a big chungus of a thread, I didn't really read all the way through but I'm in the same boat with others of not expecting anything grand. So in the end, big or small; I just want to play with friends.

I don't see a hidden video in the AC playlist.

I don't see a hidden video in the AC playlist.

It usually appears 30 mins before the actual release. All the previous ones did so we will see
