Will you be resetting for starter villagers?

[cicely]

What was so painful about it ?

It was just ugly I guess. I couldn't put things where I wanted them. It had basically the max amount of rocks and ponds a town could have, and a large part of the beach was inaccessible. Also my placement of permanent PWPs was bad, which I guess was the bigger issue.

No but I?ll be resetting a few times for a good map but at the moment I?m not sure what a good map in this game is. I don?t want to catch the reset bug a few weeks in because I?m not happy with my island.

I probably won't reset for villagers, but I may reset a bit for a map. I have a feeling my patience for resetting will probably wear thing after about five tries, though.

I want to know a bit more about Amiibo functionality, and whether I can bring in my favorite villagers via Amiibo or not. My impression so far is that Amiibo card functionality will probably be a little different than in ACNL (and I'm betting less convenient; there seems to be an emphasis on rolling with what the game gives you this time, and I'm not sure if the developers liked having people essentially move in whoever they wanted or not). I bought Amiibo cards for a few of my favorite villagers, and if I can move them in, I don't really care who the game gives me. But if I'm stuck with whoever I start with for a while, with no other options, then I may want to make sure that I at least don't hate my starting villagers.

If I'm happy with my island layout, but I hate my villagers, I'll probably keep the island and move the villagers out later. But I could see villagers influencing my decision to reset if I'm borderline on whether I like my layout, fruit, etc., or not.

I would never retcon my villagers because I don't like them. I would slowly force them out of my town, like any good person would.

idk if this will help anyone else but this is always what's made animal crossing fun for me: really get into roleplaying! If you arrive with a villager you dislike then make up a story about how you got stuck with them.

It actually can end up with you gaining new favorites if you come up with reasons why they do certain things in the game and the impressions those characters leave on you will never be forgotten. Little stuff that you can blow out of proportion to mean something different so it can be dramatic and silly.

I remember in Wild World once I saw Dizzy singing outside my house at like 2AM while holding a shovel, so i came up with this whole subplot about him conspiring to murder me and plastered flyers all over the town that said "DIZZY MUST GO". Then after months of campaigning against him I had my fortune told by Katrina who said she sensed my luck with Dizzy going down or something like that so I just packed up and left town out of fear

If I get someone I really dislike (Samson)
I wont hesitate..

The thing is, just to add to what I said previously, if the experience is magical starting, I really want to spend that magic time with Tabby and Bam! But for reals, it's all about that map!

Well, normally, I would reset till I get at least one villager I like. However, if I get a map which looks too good to get reset, then I will pick the map and don't care about the villagers at all in this case. After all, I do care more about having a nice looking layout rather than the villagers, as I can replace those later.

 

[Romaki]

Nah, but I might reset for fruit and ground pattern. I don't have a problem with villagers though, in the past I feel like starting with "bad" villagers was better so you can just get them out and better plan your town as villagers are still moving out. I don't really want to start a town with my favorite villager in a bad spot.

 

[Hanif1807]

Resetting isn't an option for me, except for native fruit and map layout. When i get certain starter villagers with certain map based on what the game asks me, THAT'S what i get. If i keep resetting two of them until i get the perfect one for me, the game will get boring quicker

basically, i want challenges while building my island

 

[Cherrili]

I'll mainly be resetting for a good town map, but I'm thinking of resetting in hopes of getting either Goldie or Lucky! And if possible Genji or Snake! They're my dream villagers! But if not I'm sure I'll be fine with what I get the first time. I'm kinda picky and vain and don't like whole animal species as villagers. Particularly Ducks and Bears. =w=;;

 

[TheRealWC]

No. I will not reset at all and whatever map I get is the map I get. I think part of the fun for me this game will be effectively building around the environment I'm given and working with the villagers I get.

 

[maxii]

not for villagers. definetly gonna go for a map i'm satisfied with because that can't be changed; however, villagers can be cycled out and you can move in your favorites

 

[jvgsjeff]

Nope. Even though I hope at least one of my starters is someone I like, I'll make the most of whichever villagers I get. If I don't like them, I'll just learn how to craft pitfall seeds ASAP.

 

[Nougat]

I'm not sure. I think I might reset if I have two villagers I really don't like in my town.. I'll also reset if I get pears as fruit again, I really want something else this time! I won't reset to get peaches speficially, but having peaches would be nice

I'll only reset in the very beginning though, I also only reset once in the very beginning when I started up ACNL and then kept on working with my town map and what I had (even though it wasn't the most perfect) & I hope to continue that way with ACNH It's more fun like that!

 

[DylanMcGrann]

Like many others here, I will reset, but not for different villagers. I?m fully prepared for any villager. There?s something fun about not being able to really control them. I?ll weirdly like it even if I get villagers I don?t like. And with there only being two at the start, and villagers potentially moving out later on, I just don?t care.

But I will totally reset for a village layout/map I like. I don?t want the dock and ?airport dock? to be far apart, and I want my village ?community center? to be close to the middle or close to the cliffs. And I want either peaches or apples for this game. I also want a blue colored dock/townhall, but I?m hoping we can actually customize that this time at some point in the game.

 

[twinkletoes]

If ACNH has amiibo function that works like NL then I won't really care. As long as I can have my Margie. I'll most likely reset for fruits tbh.

 

[AlyssaAC]

No, I don't like resetting in Animal Crossing. I've tried to do it before with New Leaf and I instantly didn't like it. I mean, I did do it a few more times to see if I would like to do it again, but once more it just kinda bothered me. I just want to be able to pick up the game on release date and automatically start playing. Also, it's kinda of exciting to see what kind of island I will get and what villagers will arrive on the island with me.

 

[Circus]

Only if I get one or both of the villagers as ones I don't like.
