I find that most the coupon challenges are easier.
Player 2 in my 5th town got the tarantula challenge. Walked around for 75 minutes and it was sitting on the edge of the ocean cliff waterfall. It moved a little and than went back to the same spot. Sat there and Player 2 caught it. It was the first time Player 2 went tarantula hunting and the fastest I've caught one for a player. The tarantula challenge shouldn't be a one day 2 coupon thing. It should be a week long one and 10 coupons.
The mayor and Player 3 without the coupon challenge took longer. The tarantulas ran pass them and disappeared into trees. Spent 2 hours finding nothing. On the day that both of those player caught one it didn't put up much of a fight. It moved a little and than just sat there. Maybe Nintendo made it easier to catch those bugs with the update.
A lot of the fishing ones I've got really lucky and caught them before the hour was up.
that's a super interesting thought - that nintendo made certain things easier because of feedback from before the update, like moving out villagers with cards and plot setting, huh! thanks for the response!
