[DEBUNKED] Fake glitches

[marzipanmermaid]

Is their Nintendo Switch modded?

No. She said she didn’t know how. She said she planted 7, didn’t dig any of them up, got her bonus miles, went to Tom Nook, say down, got his !!!, he came over, and then she got the notification that something was wrong. People are calling it the hedge glitch.

Last I saw, someone had called Nintendo since the phantom villager thing is still happening and since this is a new possible hot topic, Nintendo was concerned. I’m trying to comb the comments now to see what else was said.

Thanks <3 I wanted to get the word out that it was fake. The minute I saw I could tell it was put together to create drama. So sad.. If there is no proof, do not believe it!

You're right. This is probably a way to view it. Unless there is a picture proof or video, don't believe it.

The "I've moved out." glitch was fixed, though? Bugged plots were being removed on new days and there have been successful invites of villagers kicked out from Amiibo. Even I invited an villager without issue and they're ready to move in tomorrow.

I don’t know. I woke up to a dumpster fire of notifications about the hedge glitch and then others saying saying they adopted a villager this morning only to have issues still. I figured maybe the villager posts are just people who haven’t updated yet. It was an eventful morning for the group apparently.

I think I’mma just risk it for the bushes.

I've been messing around with bushes and hedges all morning, and nothing. The villager I invited last night was an amiibo scanned villager who was booted out by an amiibo scanned villager, this was all done on version 1.2.0.

The person I invited the villager from also did this with a friend of theirs, and they also had no issue with inviting it.

Now I'm officially scared. I updated the game, everything went ok. Played for a few hours, bought a bulk of each of the 4 bushes available. Stored most of them, planted 3. Kept playing, terraforming. Nothing wrong. I just saved and closed the game, and turned the Switch off, as I always do.

Honestly, I may take a forced brake until some clarification comes up. In now way I could afford a new Switch, especially with how it's price spiked ridiculously around here (it's costing around 3x what I paid for the one I have).

I already lost my PS4 in the first week of March, so I'm ready terrified.

Hmm... any certain word on whether either the presents bug or the shrub bug is a hoax/result of hacking?? Worrying not being able to back town up online yet!! Thanks for the info so far

For the villager glitch I traded a few more with friends after testing with Khaelis, both through amiibo and natural move outs and they were all fine :0

for the gift glitch, OP deleted their post so I think that's definitely a hoax because they probably got called out hard enough to take it down
I'm seeing memes around now based off that hoax (they are amazing LOL), so there still could be some other scums making up fake stuff to scare people u_u

 

[Hay]

Hmm.. Do I need to test more theories? I’ll gladly do it if anyone feels unsafe with their game

The tweets are now deleted! Must of been fake!

Probably more negative backlash than people falling for it. If it was really true, they'd never have deleted it.
