Poster Catalog Removed

[rezberri]

Thanks for clarifying! Yes I agree, I'm not from the US so cards cannot be the soul reason for this (although I think we are getting a rerelease too) Being an unintended game behaviour actually makes a lot of sense as a possibility!

we are getting a rerelease of amiibo card series 1-4 in November (no date specified i think) and a rerelease of the welcome amiibo series December 2nd.

I just checked, I do still have the ability to order posters for villagers that have moved out as well! So I think it literally just applies to any villager that isn't and has never been 'yours'.

ooo thank u for this clarification. but i have to ask, if u go to Harvey's island and look at villagers u can summon in, do previous ones show as well? bc when i looked at my posters list b4 going to Harvey's island to test out whether we could still order posters of villagers we have currently, i saw that while i have Apollo on my island, i didn't have his poster. after summoning him at Harvey's place i was able to order his poster, though. id test this myself but i dont have any villagers that have moved out in my current save.

actually i just checked and u can still get posters of villagers who live on ur island. just go to Harvey's and summon them. but i imagine u can only do that if they're currently living on ur island and not if they've moved away.

Once you invite them to Harv's island, their poster is catalogued for good.

I don't think I have ever been able to put villagers in Harv's studio after they have moved out! So I already tried to remember to take a picture of every villager I have before they move out, and after you've done that once, you should still be able to order their posters even after they leave.

I was hoping it was just a mistake on their end.
The main aspect that bothers me with the idea that they did it for the card sales is just...if they really wanted the incentive then they could have taken the chance to introduce a new item/RVs. It’s not like there isn’t so many sets and items that were in previous games that are not in NH.

But I also understand the major disappointment for those that took the time to collect and especially those that put so much work into free catalog for the community. That in itself is so much work.

one villager i did not summon to his island and i never got his poster. Well Someone give me his poster so it not a big lost. but now i can't order more if i need too.

tbh this was really unexpected of them to do :c it makes me sad because I've seen how time consuming it can be to finally collect all posters and then lay them all out for others to catalog. for all of that to just disappear is...upsetting.

This makes Photopia 100% redundant for me now.

I threw out my posters because they were catalogued. :-/

 

[BalloonFight]

Welp that is really lame and unfortunate. I guess I'll be slightly more active in inviting villagers to Harv's island when rotating villagers now. Definitely sucks as I paid a decent amount of NMTs at one point to catalog all of the posters.

another decision by nintendo that i’m not sure,,, what the point was. like with the hybrid islands, i genuinely am confused as to why this feature was taken away. like,, why even bother putting it in the game, then? it’s starting to feel like with every major update, something gets taken away and for what?? ;/

i’m especially upset for @Dunquixote . i don’t think her free poster cataloging event was even a week old before nintendo decided to change the game. with there being 391 posters available, i don’t even want to imagine just how long it took her to order everything and set it all up just for it to be made even more difficult within days. i completed my poster collection ages ago and have them all in my storage for the most part but for those who hadn’t yet, only had them in their catalog or went out of their way to offer them to people? this just,, wasn’t sexy of nintendo at all lmao.

some people have been hoping that this is a bug/glitch of sorts but i don’t think so. the day that the fall update trailer was released, nintendo announced that amiibo cards would be back on shelves soon and notice how a few days later, posters have become only available by scanning villagers in through amiibo? i don’t think this is a coincidence and is just another ploy by nintendo for money.

I feel bad to those who spent a lot of effort cataloging them.

All I can say is that Nintendo dictates on how we should play this game. If it's their intention to remove it, we have no choice but to accept it. This isn't like any other gaming company who openly takes player feedback in a forum format. I wish Nintendo would communicate with their players especially with the game's current direction. Not only that it will keep the interests alive, it also builds a sustaining relationship with their fans.

That would be fantastic . Glad to see other people that want to do the same thing. Rather than have three different threads offering the same thing, a joint effort thread might be actually work better. Let’s see what @RedPanda thinks of the idea.

I have all but two from series 4 but I have a different version of stitches so i can still order stitches poster. And i have some of the WA, but not all of them.

I like that idea. I have fewer amiibos than the two of you but I still have a good number. I have about 50 percent of the series 1-4, all WA, 2 sanrio, and the villager. And in spite of my irritation with Nintendo I do hope to buy more packs when they are for sale in NA. My goal is to have a complete set as well. So yeah, if you want to pool effort to do a thread that would work for me!

I would also jump in on this sort of effort. I also have the Sanrio set and quite a few cards to work with. Not all the villager cards, but I have

I wouldn't mind helping out. I have all of series 1-4 and the WA cards.
