July 3rd Summer Update Discussion Thread

My friend is playing on the southern hemisphere, will she be able to swim and dive as well / get the mermaid set? Or will it only be for the northern hemisphere?

Diving can be done 24/7/365. Your friend will be able to enjoy diving on July 3rd with the rest of us (y)
 
wonder if we'll be able to jump off cliffs like we could in NL? i desperately hope so!

1. it's fun and exciting and makes me envious of my character and
2. since i have a ton of higher levels facing my open water areas, and very little rock coverage (bane of my existence, makes me wanna reset 😭 😭 ) i'm hoping for more than just walking into the water from the sand.

I honestly wouldn't expect to jump into the water from a second layer to be a feature. I would be really surprised if it was. I know you could in New Leaf, but (as I have read many times before), ACNH isn't ACNL. So, maybe we will be pleasantly surprised? I'm not even expecting to be able to jump off from the pier even though there is absolutely no reason why we shouldn't be able to. I just don't want to look forward to something for the game to tell me I can't.
 
I’m so psyched for the new update! The mermaid set was one of my favorite sets in ACNL along with the princess set, and just seeing the video makes me so happy! I’m still thinking whether or not to put the set outside or inside xD
 
Really excited for the new update. I was actually already wondering why diving wasn’t a thing in the game, especially because it takes place on an island. Looking forward to experiencing the update firsthand myself. :D
 
So excited to see diving back AND THE MERMAID FURNITURE!!!!! Wondering what the August update will bring now.
 
SO excited for diving and I think this was a great way to bring back the mermaid set!! Im curious to see how theyll bring back other classic sets
 
Oooo, loving the mermaid furniture, and all of the diving stuff in general! It looks so much prettier than New Leaf, and New Leaf already looked nice. Can't wait for this update! Haven't touched the game in awhile but this definitely will make me come back!

I'm not really sure if this will be possible, considering that the beach surrounds the whole island except for the upper part, which is all just rocks. Definitely the cooler part of diving back in New Leaf.

an nb babe can dream!! it would be nice to see them use more complex mechanics tbh. most of the game is very simple, code and design wise. i would love to see some more awareness of structures and interacting with them, lol. we still don't even know tho if when you enter from the beach sand it's with a jump or not, yunno. so much exciting reveals we are awaiting, haha
 
I like this update but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't more excited for the August one. I know this is most likely me reading too much in to it but those fireworks in the Wave 2 announcement pop up screen.... summer fireworks event returning? Yes please. I always loved the vibes of the summer firework festivals in NL.​

I just really noticed it, on like a third watch, and immediately came to this thread and searched "fireworks" 😂
So I'm betting so too.

I'm also wondering if pirate-Gulliver is a one-off event? I can't picture him being another weekly NPC, or losing regular-Gulliver after so little time to collect his items.
 
ahh I totally knew we'd get diving. we live on an island, theres no way we wouldnt get free diving.. plus i always saw the Reefs out to the side, just waiting for us to explore.. plus the second pier... im excited though!

Me excited for Friday For the acnh update~
 
I've seen the update will drop around 8:00pm CDT (6:00pm PDT) on July 2nd. I get Friday off from work due to the 4th, so I'm looking forward to tomorrow night

Do you know what time it drops for EST?
I think CDT is only 1 hour behind EST (I could be wrong tho)
