My feelings about the new Tripping feature

[moon_child]

Can some people please be kinder and more considerate for others in here please, and offer actual advise? Making fun of people with certain conditions just ain’t it. In any case, don’t update yet until complete information on how tripping works as a whole is out so you’d know if any workarounds will be available to avoid this (maybe wearing a good luck item or something).

Maybe try feng shui every room in your house? I feel like that would make bad luck days less likely, no? Or if you find yourself on a bad luck day (assuming tripping works the way it did in NL), time travel to the next day?

HHA keeps telling me about the good feng shui in my character's house that I made into a cafe, lol. Did it completely by accident.

The game already has a few lucky furniture items, so keeping one of those in your house might prevent tripping? Otherwise I'm not sure why they're here, as they were "lucky" even before the update (they were listed in the official guide).
Here's what the wiki lists as lucky:

• ACNH Nintendo Switch
• Crescent-moon chair
• Gold bug trophy
• Gold fish trophy
• Gold HHA trophy
• Gold rose wreath
• Golden candlestick
• Kanji tee
• Katana
• Koi
• Lucky gold cat
• Picture
• Pop-eyed goldfish
• Ring
• Robot hero
• Wobbling Zipper toy

I'll double-check the guidebook, as I don't remember that having as long a list, but I do remember the gold items and villager pictures listed. Hopefully you can get back to enjoying the game!

Edited to add: I don't think your character trips in the King Tut mask because of bad luck, but rather because it's big and heavy, so maybe avoid wearing that around.

I don’t remember it being attached to luck like some have said. Maybe I didn’t know that. I do remember it happening when you wore that Egyptian outfit though, I assumed it was because the head piece was so big and bulky. I specifically remember running back and forth and back and forth with a balloon, *trying* to get it to happen to watch the balloon float away because it was not very often. Like someone said just don’t run. If it’s like the previous game it only happened occasionally and only when running.

I'm sure when they inevitably add Katrina, there will be more good luck items as well. Like in NL, there was the daily clothing item that gave you good luck, and that weird hat

 

[Skandranon]

OP how do you deal with wasps, scorpions and tarantulas that actually knock u out in this game?

 

[Eureka]

People get emotionally scarred over ur character tripping, now imagine if villagers callef u ugly as they did in wild world. Now I understand why nintendo removed that aspect of dialogue. Very smart move lol, dont wanna know how triggered 90% of people would be over such small thing. Sometimes I truly question the fanbase of animal crossing....aint tryna offend anyone which i prob will but its the sad reality lol. Actin as if animal crossing was a horror , blood game

The fan-base is fine. I cannot believe I have to explain this in 2020 but some people have emotional or mental health issues that cause them to have very strong reactions to certain situations/stimuli. These situations will likely seem trivial to the average person. It is a medical condition which should be respected and not mocked. If you're not going to even try to offer constructive advice then just move on, honestly.

 

[windwake-me-up-inside]

Honestly, I'd be just as upset as OP if they re-added in something like grass deterioration. That's a minor feature I never, ever want back. So I totally get OP being upset about something others see as a minor addition.

The fact some of y'all can't handle this like adults and resort to bullying OP instead is really distressing, not gonna lie. When did the bell tree forums get so nasty?

Then dont fuxkin play if u have issues that u cant control. I legit expected a stupid argument like this to come. IF a video game messes your mental state so bad, put it away, work on it ,talk about it irl and then come back to it. Having mental health problems isnt an excuse to blame nintendo as why they added it. Exactly this is the type of fanbase that ruins the franchise. Theres plenty of people with same issued , yet the can think rationally about em and find an easy solution through it. End of.

what part of " If you're not going to even try to offer constructive advice then just move on, honestly. " did you not get, my dude?

Maybe tone down the attitude and take your own advice, gesh...

Lmao, learn to accept facts next time.

You gave your opinions, not facts lol

 

[DeltaLoraine]

I totally understand not wanting tripping to be a part of the game, and I'm sure there's many people out there that feel the same way! Animal Crossings is meant to relax people, and It'd be awful for you to play when you could get stressed. So, perhaps it is best to put the game down for a while until we get some solid evidence of how to prevent tripping in the game? This feature is still pretty new right now, so most of the solutions that are being suggested are speculation at this point. But I'm sure guides will eventually come out with helpful information on how to stay safe from tripping

 

[Eureka]

You have offered no facts I need to accept. I'm not sure why you are so hostile at me. I've been taking time out of my night to write out thoughtful responses to genuinely try and help this person. All I've seen from you is hostility.
The only one acting like a child here is you.

 

[LambdaDelta]

it's cute that you think this is new (I mean this non-sarcastically, btw)

nah, this is just nintendo bringing back garbage from past games just because

at least this hopefully means we'll get katrina for the next (fall) update

edit: jfc, wth did I walk into

They dont need help from you , what they need is some advice from their parents. This is a minor issue thats fixed. Why even buy ur child a game if they not ready for it yet. If this person is an adult, then I have no more comments about this

 

[DinoTown]

I for one can't wait to start falling over again. It probably says something bad about me but there's nothing quite like that short moment of laughter watching a handful of pixels charging over the ground and then THUNK

I understand that but you can't expect every piece of media to cater to every single trigger, because anything can be a trigger. I have some pretty weird triggers myself but I understand that not every form of media can account for every trigger, because again, even the most seemingly random thing can be a trigger for someone. getting mad like this at a game for not catering to your own specific trauma is completely unreasonable. you have the right to be upset about it, but yelling about the developers adding new features because those features include your very specific trigger that no one could be reasonably expected to account for is absolutely bonkers.

 

[Hoshi]

Is/will Katrina be back I wonder? Since predicting lucky and unlucky days was her thing.

Good, then leave, you are derailing the thread of actual adults trying to give good advice to this person about the topic.

Good advice? OP blaming nintendo for this and thats good advice for you. So far I havent seen a single real life advice that would help this person. Sometimes u gotta take thingd with a grain if salt buddy . If ur not ready for it then dont bother at all
