July 3rd Summer Update Discussion Thread
- Thread starter Underneath The Stars
- Start date
I didn't care about diving at all, but it looks like it will be fun! I am super curious about pirate Gulliver. Really excited for Pascal. However, I think that in about a week people will be over diving and back to complaining about how there isn't anything to do in the game and still complaining about furniture.
I feel like there are two options here. The virus pushed back the release dates a bit or they are planning on dripping out content one month at a time. I just feel like they should release a road map and let us in on the secret. They don't even have to tell us what is in it. Just tell us when they think the updates will happen and if it is once a month then at least people will know.

Yeah, you can also terraform cliffs up on to shore in a few select islands (mine includes), so I’m curious to see if you can dive into the water off of there! Either way, I can’t wait for the update to come out.
I'm hoping for vegetables. I know a lot of people don't care for the idea and consider it pointless but I think more is always good in a game that's accused for having a lack of content.

Personally am excited for the diving, sucks it is not everything at once but honestly I do not mind! I bet in August we will get brewsters since itll come in time for fall.
Ok I'm starting to get real sad I didn't choose the northern hemisphere

Glad to see diving is back! I guess with updates they’ll continue to make it a more complete game. I bet Brewster in the fall too...that will actually be pretty neat.
This is was great to see after the disaster that was Pokemon’s announcement yesterday, Animal Crossing really be coming through!
While I never batted an eye at the Mermaid set before, it’s awesome that it came back and it’s looking amazing! I’m happy for everyone excited for it. I’m most happy about seeing Pascal and can’t wait to start catching underwater creatures again. With every confirmation of early datamines there are, the more hope that farming made the final cut, I hope it’s included in wave 2, chances are though it’s probably something for later in year 2 or 3.
Also, it makes sense why they are only doing updates that follow North Hemisphere, if they did for both we’d have a year’s worth of updates in only 6 months. While that would benefit all of us, doubt that’s what they want, having decided to roll them out slowly like this.

Thank the lord... This was one feature I wanted them to add the most. It's crazy it didn't already come with the game, but hey I won't complain at this point. Just glad it's back.
I'm not really as excited over this update as everyone else. They're really just giving us things that already existed to begin with in NL. A lot of people are bored with the game and have been moving away from it because of lack of things to do. I hoped that a summer update would have come with an event or two instead of pirate Gulliver who'll probably be as common as Redd appearances. Mermaid furniture we also already had.
I was hoping they'd add more things to do for multiplayer, which is still super lacking. Adding little things is nice, but I worry for the longevity of the game at this rate. Drip-feed content like this only works for so long. Of course I'm glad features of NL are back, but I still feel disappointed. Instead of new exciting things, they're just finishing the game to completion (in my eyes) masked under the guise of updates.

This looks like a fun update! I admit that I really didn’t care for the Mermaid set in New Leaf but I look forward to seeing its New Horizons glow up. Plus, I know lots of folks were missing it so I’m happy for them!
The diving though really excites me! New museum donations are great, and if we can display some of our catches in our homes, that gets me hyped! Plus the ability to dive gives me new inspo for decorating outdoor areas.
Not sure about what the Gulliver update entails beyond a costume change. Hopefully, new items. And maybe some new dialogue? “Brother from another rudder” was cute but, Gulliver, you gotta keep your routine fresh.

I'm happy for an update, but this is too little. while bringing back Diving and Pascal is nice, you have to realize that Leif and Redd came on April 23rd(I believe). it's been 2 months, and this is a rather small update. and the next update comes out from a month from now. I understand it may be hard during quarantine, but I feel this game was rushed to be released rather than perfected.

The Mermaid furniture looks really good! I wonder when the updates that come out for the game will be actual new content rather than just re-adding content from New Leaf.
