Low campsite spawn rates?

[coderp]

Yeah, I liked the tutorial aspect, didn't like the end result of their houses being the way they were.

It's also... From what people have been saying, villagers take forever to want to move out here, and they can't leave until you speak to them, but they can also take forever to move in randomly and the campsite sits empty most of the time. It just feels like they went way overboard fixing the "problem" of people's dreamies moving out & being replaced by "undesirable" villagers after they decided to take a break from the game for a week or two.

I would've been happy if they'd stopped at preventing villagers from moving out without your consent. But to go beyond and make it harder to find villagers, and also harder to get anyone to move... I'm much more heavy-handed with TTing in this game than any other...

I don't TT but there have been times where I feel tempted to. I've had a plot sitting open for 4 days. Every day I grind out Miles+ tasks to go on island tours, but I haven't found anyone I even liked. That's another thing, the island tours seem weighted to give you personality types you already have instead of ones you need. Isabelle's been telling me that we need to increase the island's population but I already paid for a plot. No one's taking it. What else do you want from me, lady. Give me something else to do in the meantime.

I was under the impression that once you get 10 villagers you won't run into any on the mystery tours. So I've been checking the campsite every day and nothing. Not since the first one. It's rather disheartening to be honest.

 

[Soigne]

you guys are getting campers?

I've been playing every day and haven't even got one since the forced tutorial one lol

yes, i haven't gotten any after the original camper either. :<

 

[Mairmalade]

The only time I get a camper is when I have a vacant lot. I'm happy to see that tent games are back, though. When it comes to recruiting for my island, 100% would rather farm nook miles to island hop for villagers. Ask once and they're in love with the idea!

 

[Tako]

I'm not sure if it's a coincidence, but I've gotten one camper so far (not including the forced one). They appeared at my campsite one day after one of my villagers pinged to leave. But I don't TT, so I can't check if it'll always happen this way.

 

[kindheartedhog]

I've only had one villager - which was the one you first get that you have to invite to your island. I'm super dissapointed with the campsite, I just assumed there'd be someone knew there every other day or something

 

[Fridaynightcatlady]

Just the one (6th, forced-in villager).

 

[splutterguttss]

I only got the one forced villager (Curly. I have a whole story about that mess), and one random villager (Limberg) since March 19

 

[moonchu]

ah guess i must be lucky then, i think i've had 3 campsite visitors (not including kyle who was the first). no TT + playing since launch.

I've noticed this too! Whenever I'm missing just one villager personality, it's soooo hard to find them on islands. Took me about 15 tickets for a snooty and at least 20 for a peppy after mine from the tutorial moved out. I just ended up adopting a peppy from someone else.

Since I've got 0 villagers coming to visit my island outside of the tutorial one, I've started to use the campsite to invite amiibo villagers to get DIY recipes.

Should rename the campsite into 'DIY Generator' or something.

 

[Fiain]

I've only ever had the forced adoption camper, no one else.

Which makes me kinda sad since I was really looking forward to seeing different animals.

 

[nammie]

I haven't had any either, except for the first force move in camper.... rates are def a lot lower than in acnl, I think I had like 2-3 campers every week then

 

[coderp]

Seems there's a curse in the game.

Some people, like myself, have gone 4+ MONTHS dry at the campsite, TTing one day forward at a time.

Other people, like my brother who is equally progressed in his game and also TT's, get 2-3 visitors a week. Just had two visitors back to back... Makes no sense.

 

[hallatt]

I had that first forced campsite visitor but after that nothing!
I got bored waiting and ended up inviting my own via amiibo.
I remember getting them frequently in NL and have been disappointed so far.

Is it possible that if you have 10 villagers or that when no one is moving out you don’t get campers (excluding amiibo)? Because I’ve only ever had the tutorial camper and have 10 villagers.

mm i don't think so. i have 10 villagers and had a horse campsite visitor yesterday.

Aw darn, I was hoping for it to be true! I have 10 villagers and I don’t get any island villagers so I was sorta hoping that was the reason I also haven’t got any campers!

 

[Loriii]

I get a tent every 4 or so days (probably around 6-9 days on average) when I had less than 10 villagers.

Now, I finally reached 10 so I tested it if I could reset some villagers there instead of going to the mystery island but I've moved the date up to 2 months and never gotten a single camper. Yes, no tent. I guess it drastically decreases the spawn rate if your town is full.
