Update v2.0 + HHP Discussion Thread

[Sloom Lagoon]

So... HHP? Is that still coming out tomorrow? Seems odd they'd give us the update but not the expansion?

I believe the update came early so that the DLC could come out on time.
Because if the DLC came out at midnight on the 5th for Australia like it should do, it would have been unplayable due 2.0 not being due to hit until something like 10am there

pretty sure it'll be coming out tomorrow : i'd imagine they thought releasing both the update AND the expansion pack would've overwhelmed people w/ what to do.

This is a stupid question but are the new villagers locked behind story progression? I reset and i'm at the point of selling land to island hop but i havent invited k.k. (which counts as the end credits i think) so idk how that affects things

Don't think so, I saw a screenshot on reddit where someone got the new villagers as their starter 2:

Apparently, there are mentions of the HHP update already available in some regions: Japan, New Zealand and Australia namely. Can someone from these regions confirm?

Wow, a mystery island that's just a regular island with my own island's native fruit? Never seen that before in any mystery tours I've done pre-update! Thanks, Kapp'n! Off to a bit of an unlucky start here... On the bright side, I now have the required gyroid fragments, I've found Brewster, I found a new DIY (Rose Bed), and I was able to bring home a few fully grown bushes for my island, so it's not all bad! Plus, there's still a ton more content for me to mess around with.

That’s the first tour I think. Brewsters island

Personality types and hobbies of new villagers:

Sasha - Lazy, Fashion, Type B
Ione - Normal, Fashion, Type B
Tiansheng - Jock, Fitness, Type B
Shino - Peppy, Education, Type A
Marlo - Cranky, Education, Type B
Petri - Snooty, Education, Type A
Cephalobot - Smug, Play, Type B
Quinn - Sisterly - Education, Type A

Personality types and hobbies of returning villagers:

Zoe - Normal, Education, Type B
Rio - Peppy, Music, Type B
Azalea - Snooty, Nature, Type B
Faith - Sisterly, Music, Type B
Chabwick - Lazy, Play, Type A
Ace - Jock, Nature, Type A
Frett - Cranky, Music, Type B
Roswell - Smug, Nature, Type A

Kinda surprised the New Villagers have mostly Education. I wonder if there was a general lack of education in older villagers compared to other hobbies. I should really look into this honestly out of curiousity.
Frett has Music... this makes me seriously reconsider him. Music and Play are the cutest hobbies.

Someone posted a screenshot of their first visit to archipelago on Reddit and they confirmed they are in Australia so it looks like that portion of the update is unlocked via whatever timezone you're currently in.

Anyone know all the color ways of the pergola? I am trying to avoid spoilers the best I can so sorry if it's already been posted lol.

 

[SoftCrowbar]

Anyone else notice that villager requests have greatly increased in amount? I’ve already had three today and I started playing at 8am! (It’s 11am right now)

It is past midnight in parts of Australia, so that would check out and seems to confirm my theory as to why this update was released 14 hours ago:

I've been thinking about why this was happening now ever since I saw that maintenance was scheduled for tonight (which I know is always accompanied with the newest update). Now this is pure speculation on my part, but I wonder if it was due to the DLC. To my knowledge, whenever a game or DLC is released, you're first able to download it and play it at midnight in your time zone. However, if the update was released 24 hours from now, then they wouldn't have been able to do that in countries like Japan, Australia, etc. So likely this was done now in order to accommodate the DLC, which if so means that'll be properly released at midnight on the 5th.

That is great. Have not been able to play much but so excited to hear that for when I go on later.
