Can’t visit a random dream....

[MaxM]

Seeing gore is different than a cartoon mole lol, nice dismissing my point.

afaik reporting towns never really did anything. I kept reporting several towns for porn designs and they never got taken down.

My point wasn't that they're the same but that Nintendo mollycoddles children too much now. It's up to parents to keep a check on these things. Or maybe what Nintendo could do is give parents the option to lock certain features. Or they could make players enter their age and disable certain features for younger users.

I guarantee children see and hear worse on some of the PC games they play like Roblox etc. Nintendo is overly cautious I think.

Seeing realistic gore in a children's game that is not suppose to have it is different than a cartoon mole saying somewhat mean things, but ok.

afaik reporting towns in New Leaf never really did anything. I kept reporting several towns for porn designs and they never got taken down.

There's always someone who'll make excuses for the crap Nintendo does.

You could make a lot of inappropriate content in New Leaf yet you could still search for random towns on there. There is no excuse for excluding features.

I'm also very disappointed they left out the random dream visits. That was the best part of the dream suite.

Except I wasn't exactly defending them- I wanted random towns too. I'm merely stating reasons why it might have been axed for now. They might need more time to have better moderation tools, and this might be a band-aid. They put in sorting in able's after a while- it's likely they will do so for dream address.

I just think y'all are being too melodramatic about it, and this is coming from someone who was sad to see random dream towns go for now.

Extremely disappointed that you can't visit random islands to say the least.

 

[JellyBeans]

visiting random islands was always one of my fave things about the dream suite so I'm kinda bummed but at the same time I suppose this way I know what kind of island I'm setting myself up for when I visit!

 

[IridianSky]

Doesn’t seem like the feature has much of a point if there’s no way to visit islands without a code... But then again I felt the same way about the kiosk in able sisters about not being able to browse patterns. If they want people to be creative and share things why do they alays go out of their way to make it so difficult and tedious to do so? I’m disappointed that they made it this way, but certainly not surprised. I honestly expected it, as this sort of thing seems to just be what they do. I would have been very pleasantly surprised had they implemented a random visit or browse feature. I hope they update it in the future, but I’m not expecting it at all.

There is no way to tell how many people visited your town in dreams. In new leaf it used to tell you the number, but here, there isn't. So even't if you actively promote your town, you never know how your promo did anyway.
People not actively asking for visitors are not interested in visitors. simple. it shouldn't bother them that their island won't be randomly visited in a dream.

The Nintendo Switch Online app tells you how many people visited your island

Forgot to include the fact that it also keeps a record of the towns you visited and when they were last updated. So we do now have a log of what towns we visited, and it even includes the Dream Addresses, so if you want to visit a town again it is super easy to look up that town's Dream Address.

I noticed this right away and hope it gets added. Even better if we can add tags like in Mario Maker 2. For example, if you want to visit a Zelda themed town, you can.

In New Leaf, Luna also gave money for uploading a dream.

 

[Shinjukuwu]

Oh dang, that's disappointing! Visiting random towns is what I always opted to do in New Leaf. I hope that the option to visit random islands returns. Maybe it will once enough people have dream addresses. Just seems kind of weird to remove that feature permanently.

 

[Epod]

Without random islands to visit this update will become dull very quickly.

Anyone know when the next update is?

 

[bam94-]

I was disappointed when I noticed there wasn’t an option to visit random dreams too.

Although I remember whenever I wanted to visit random dreams in NL, 9 times out of 10 I’d turn up to a totally barren island... maybe that’s why they removed it? With that being said though, they must know that they have far more active players on NH, and there’s so much more you can do to customise your island.

 

[samticore]

Maybe someone who isn’t me because I Dumb can create a sort of website/tool where people can put in their Dream Address and it can be a sort of randomized database

.. not that it should be on players to have to do that, bc I was mega disappointed to find out I had to go seek out an address myself :c if its non-pg related content they’re worried about, we need parents to be more aware about what their kids be doin... but uh if they were anything like me they’re gonna come across it anyways lol

 

[loveclove]

I also wish I could see some stats on visitors... Was that possible on New Leaf?

 

[kylie32123]

I was literally just wondering if you could visit random ones or not! Haven't had the chance to play yet since the update, and it's sad. In NL, I used to always visit randos just for the fun of it. I guess I'll have to write down a whole bunch of random DA's now, lol

 

[Cosmic-chan]

I'm not too bothered by this since I hardly ever used the Dream Suit in acnl and when I did I had a code. I never used the random feature.

 

[MiraculousGiraffe]

Sure, it's tedious that you have to go and look for a DA to type in and it would've been easier to click random but they've already made a DA thread over in the airport forum so if you truly want a random island, close your eyes and scroll. Whichever post you land on is the one you visit. I do hope they bring the random feature back because it was nice and truly random but what can we do about it. There are only around 37 posts on the DA thread now but its the first day I'm sure more will pop up.

 

[Sweetley]

What a disappointment, visiting random dream towns was one of my favorite features in New Leaf. Here's hope that Nintendo may gonna add this option at some point.

 

[icecreamcheese]

A random island option (and a top/most visited islands list) is like the only reason I'd care about Dream Suite/ otherwise I don't really see the point of it. I can just go to Dodo Airlines to get a code to visit someone's island.

exactly. i would love to see recommended islands by popularity or even by nintendo's staff choices.

 

[wolfie1]

I'm pretty bummed they deleted the option to visit random islands. I used to do that when I didn't have anything to do. I hope they implement an update to add that option the next time the game is updated.
