One of the best things about these new furniture/decor items is a lot of them are variations of Pocket Camp items, and I welcome anything possible to get me to walk away from THAT cash grab back into the safe, non-gouging arms of New Horizons

 

[coldpotato]

Holy holy crap. I cannot believe all they are adding. IDK where to even start commenting... Nintendo has been listening and adding pretty much anything and everything we've been wanting and then some. I almost feel like I could cry. There's going to be so much to do in this game after the update and getting the expansion. I'm so, so excited!

Also.. FROGGY CHAIR!

 

[Aliennia]

Had to join because this will definitely get me back into AC... i'm so excited!!!!

 

[Violet Witch]

Right... I best get back to my island and start shuffling a few things around so I can fit some of new impending items I want on my island like the ability to grow vegetables and then make recipes out of them.

all 48 cards

Does anyone know if the series 5 cards packs only include these 48 or cards that have been released already as well? If it's only these 48 cards, I might hop on the bandwagon.

I'm eagerly waiting for the reaction videos

I can’t seem to upload the photo but by the end of the direct you can see villagers in the sea using floaters!

LMAO this is my favorite meme about the direct

 

[Minene]

i'm so excited for everything!! they surprised me with some things like harv's, mix&matching wallpapers, and the dlc....i hope bulk crafting & buying happen eventually, that's really my only complaint, but maybe they just didn't mention it

I can't tear down half my island but as I try and finish as much of my island as possible, I have to keep in mind to leave small plots open for my incoming veggie plants.

Yeah, I finished mine before leaving the game to collect dust... I have a very small pumpkin patch right in front of my shop, so maybe I could use it for some of the vegetables they'll introduce. I'm not going to tear everything down, of course. I spent way too much time just to tear it down. I wish we'd known they were going to add all of this. That way I could've reserved a plot for them lol.

My heart aches that Aziz is still not in a new game yet, but it's fine...we got enough stuff to fill the void lmao. Maybe series 6

There may be more returning villagers. It said “48 cards” or something like that during the direct. Maybe we don’t know them all?

This made my entire year. Like guys nintendo LISTENED

I’m basically just glad we won’t hear people complaining about an underwhelming update. I’m so happy this was an amazing update and well worth waiting for.

Well... To say the least, and needless to say, November 5th couldn't come fast enough!

I think most of these were already mentioned by others, but I was secretly hoping for bulk-crafting, bulk-buying, jobs for villagers, more multiplayer activities, and a more convenient way to decorate, terraform, and waterscape our islands (much like we can for vacation homes in the new Happy Home Paradise DLC, especially since we're able to apply the skills we learn there to our own islands).

But, to be fair, I think this 2.0 update definitely makes up for any missing QOL updates. Who knows? Maybe they'll add those in (ideally for free) later on! (If they're not considered 'major' changes, at least... Otherwise, they can come out with more paid DLC, which I guess I wouldn't mind if they will continue to be as substantial as this.)

Well to be fair -- the 'jobs for villagers' feature is included: they work at the little buildings/shops/et cetera that you decorate on the HHP island archipelago.

Omg you’re right! It’s definitely at the DLC resort island though. Wonder if it’s a random action they can do similar to running/playing/BBQing in the plaza.

 

[mocha.]

OMG I think the new update is revolutionary. They addressed so much of the issues most people have been discussing and it genuinely makes me really excited to pick up the game again! I can’t wait for the update!!

edit: NAVIGATING SMALL SPACES… mind = blown

Omg, you're right... There's so much to process/remember here, haha! And I'm probably gonna wait on getting the DLC for now, just to slowly take everything in with this 2.0 update.

Lol I know!!! It's hard to even remember what all was shown! There are so many other little things that I have already forgotten about, I really want to go back and make a detailed list or something hahah.

 

[MayorofMapleton]

I'm concerned they've done everything but increase interior room size.

They said we can bring back techniques but never mentioned size changing.

Plus we can walk between thin areas...as if it was the fix for the small rooms.
