Animal Crossing: City Folk - Gen. Discussion and info

yeah, i don't see any point in getting a new thread going. the front page could use a touching up. though don't know how much it matters.

it would be kind of nice if, next to each cags name, the date they were added was listed. that way it would be a little easier to ignore some of the players who don't play anymore. though, plenty of the starting players do still play.

i don't know what i would replace the old AC info with. since the faq on AC is so huge. maybe just a calendar of events for the month. i don't know.

and there's no reason cags couldn't post something they want on the front page. and filler could copy and past it up.
 
I added VioletArrows, ScrubKing and gocolts18, though being a Ravens fan I struggled with that last one. Just kidding. :) Here is my info again if you need it:

FC: 1247-3058-0049
Name: Daddy
Town: maxwii
Fruit: cherry
 
CL you are indeed a hollow heart - horray! Also most others I've added except Frosty the Batman and the 3 I just added who probably have to connect first.

My gate is open for a bit. My Nooks has a throne on "Special" today, but I hope it means a lot to you if you want to buy it because it's 600,000 bells! Is this thing super, über, duper rare or something? Come and get it if you want!
 
What part of Maryland are you from? I moved from Annapolis and am still faithful to the Ravens. Last week was way too close, though. @_@

I'm tempted to hop back on since no one's home and there's nothing on.

The throne, king's crown, and another item are the 3 most expensive items in the game YES IT IS RARE.
 
filler- i didn't mean any harm in my suggestion, just throwing it out there. I could care less, personally. I haven't referred to the OP in over a month since I hit my 32 friend limit long ago. It just seems to be an issue for some of the new faces based on the last few pages of messages.

I know back in the 120s or so, we all talked about how this topic would be gone from the main page in a few months, and someone would probably start a new one- just thought that time was closer than we thought.
 
[quote name='Daisydog']Ah, more new people. Well the last time I added new people many of them disappeared and didn't add me back. I'm going to replace them with newer people :bouncy:[/quote]

I have yet to add you i think yeah, I've been to busy studying for finals to add people, but i will add you later tonight when my brothers friends are gone, (their using tv) but no worries, you'll be added soon, sorry about that. :lol:

and all the people i have are hollow hearts.. so what does that mean? :S (i'm new... my bad not knowing what it means)
 
Still playing, but I haven't seen any open gates in a while. Of course, that's probably because I usually pop on during the middle of the day between classes. 1PM or 2PM isn't a very good time to find people playing, I guess. :lol:

I think I won my fishing tourney today. Finally, the pond smelt proves useful for something!
 
I caught a 7inch Pond Smelt and totally won.
Anyways I'm not worth adding. I play a lot every day but rarely online.
If anyone wanted to trade or something we could add and drop or something.
What's everyone think about the Blue Pikmin hat and Lightsabers?
I for one am not for them.
Unless the Pikmin hat turns out to be not made up.
 
Violet - thanks for stopping in and sorry I never showed up in your town. People kept showing up in mine!

Somebody bought the throne. Who we don't know. ???? Glad somebody could afford it.

Thanks to everybody who stopped in. It was a fun time once again, and especially thanks for the bug catching lessons - I caught my first mole cricket and can't wait to show my kids how to tomorrow. I also found the money rock. Woohoo!
 
Just wanted to pop in and say hi. I'm still around, just lurk a lot.
I'm looking to add some people...........I'll PM some people and if anyone wants to add me, feel free to PM me also.

:)

That was me. Thrones are so nice for getting easy Nook points. :)

I have millions in my character's bank account. Enough to afford 78 windmill/lighthouse donations. :shock: I'm trying to save up for the ABD machine for my house, but it's still a long way to go to get 999,999,999 Bells, so I spend them whenever there's a good buy.

Yeah I attempted to go to your town tonight but it was full.

Thanks for stopping by tonight Violet and Angela.
 
FYI, our Able Sisters now has a Crown on sale for 1,000,000 bells which I can only presume goes nicely with that Throne that was on sale yesterday! Miranda? Romeo? However, our gate isn't open now. If anyone is interested in the Crown I'm sure our gate will be open at some point later today/tonight. Is this a rare item? Note that our Able Sisters is only open until 9 PM (Eastern). Not sure if that is the case for all Able Sisters or not. We will be watching the Ravens football game tonight starting at 6 PM, but if anyone wants the crown, at the very least I could open the gate and just leave the Wii on while we watch the game, and check on things during the commercials.
 
Romeo can have the girly crown.:lol:

Your Able's is only open til 9? I thought they were all open until 11. Hmm.

My store is closed tomorrow. :whistle2:( Boo, I don't want Nookington's! Nook N Go hours, FTW!

In any case, I don't think I'll be buying the crown. Someone else can buy it if they want it. :)


Here's my list of extra fossils again. If anybody wants any of these, just post. Take as many as you need. I'd probably have to deliver them to your town since I'd need to switch characters just to get them out of storage. And I don't trust the mail to other towns in this game since it either comes very slowly or not at all.

Thanks! I just registered you too :)
 
W00t scored both lightsabres.......they are hacked golden axes that look like lightsabres Im going after the pikmin hat now...if there is a catalog listing like the red one, Ill do another giveaway.Also, LOL at blue and red sabre nook sellback prices (1.7m and 250k respectively)
 
Well, it looks like I'll be deleting every single CAG from my friends list sooner than I thought.

With the advent of the hacked DLC items, I'm worried that I won't be able to receive real official DLC from Nintendo since supposedly there are only 256 slots available for DLC and just connecting to someone who has hacked DLC in their inventory will add it to yours. I could see this being a viral sort of issue. Since anyone who connects to Filler's town will end up getting their DLC slots filled with hacked DLC and may then infect my save file with it too if I visit their town or they visit mine. I don't know who on my friends list will have only legit DLC, so I would have to delete everybody.

If anyone wants to read more about the concerns, there's a huge topic on GameFAQs about it.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=933195&topic=47700752

I, for one, want to be sure I can get any and all legit DLC only.

This is a quote from the creator of the tool himself:

This weekend I'm releasing 3 test DLCs. The ShinyBluePikmin hat and the red and blue lightsabres. They will work over WiFi.
They will be real DLC items (with fixed item codes) and can be traded with non-WiiBrew owners. Once into the wild they can't be changed.
Click to expand...

The part in bold is what worries me about being able to receive future legit DLC from Nintendo.

Filler, you can delete my info from the OP.

I'm defriending anybody I don't know IRL right now. Even keeping real life friends is still a little bit risky since they may have people with non legit DLC who visit their towns.
 
I got the hats FYI, and Ill be doing a giveaway in like 10 minutes for the first 5 who show up. PM me if you want me to add you, I would have told you if ive added you already. FYI, its not that huge of a deal IMHO, I have only 254 spots left now. I doubt Ill even own the game by the time all 256 spots fill up, which would probably take like what, 2 years at least? Nothing Ill need to worry about.
 
That sucks Miranda. I think I visited your town the most out of anybody on my list. (I've only been to 3 peoples towns, Yours, Lehea and Buttle). Well thanks for letting me come to your town. Don't let the pink cosmos die.

Pink cosmos is hacked haha
jk :)
 
They probably won't release all the planned DLC anyways. I'm still waiting on those NES games from the Gamecube version. That was actually my main reason for buying an Action Replay.
 
I don't think Nintendo would release all the DLC either, but there's always the concern that they end up using the same item hex codes that the hacked DLC uses. If those slots are already filled up, I wouldn't be able to get the official ones. That's my issue with it. Better safe than sorry is my approach to this.

Sorry, everybody! You can defriend me if you have me on your list.
 
Well, I analyzed the thread and was thinking about this. There is a possibility we will run out of (most likely me XD ) slots to have DLC, but it is kind of bad to think that some items are worth more to you than your buddy list, not to mention I have 254 more items to get. Ah well, Ill have to spend a few hours talking to a few people and then Ill get back to this thread for an update. The giveaway is postponed on account of DLC rain :(
 
I'm not sure what to make of this... sounds neat. I'll probably abstain from hacked DLC for a while, see if there's any negative effects. Seems like there are, and Nintendo will probably purposely make it so those with popular hacked DLC (lightsabers) will be unable to get official DLC... until hackers release the Nintendo DLC with a different hex number. :lol: As far as I can tell, I could back up my ACCF save file, save it somewhere safe, add the hacked DLC, give it to whoever wanted it, then restored my save without any trace of the DLC. But then if anybody went in contact with one who had it, they'd get it again. :whistle2:k I think I can go without and avoid this whole mess. Nice knowing you Miranda. You're probably overreacting.
 
GameFAQs is going batshit insane right now over this XD.......there are so many ways to work around it I dont see why anyone doesnt just start anew with the hacks. I dont really care though......if I wanted to, I could always borrow my friends TP and work from there. I want to try out that haxx0r tool though.......anyhow, I havent gotten in contact with who I need to yet.For all we know, by the time we get DLC, I might have already sold the game to buy RE5 CE XD
 
Can people please add me and either let me know on here or in PM.

Town: Phoenix
Name: Matt
Friend Code: 0688-9954-5742

I've got native cherries, but growing coconuts, apples, pears, and peaches.

Thanks.
 
I don't want to hack my game or my system to fix some glitch. I'd rather watch my town become a wasteland than do something potentially illegal. I don't know what DLC rain is either (Is Nintendo finally giving NA DLC?).

I seriously think Nintendo's going to fix the grass glitch ala Twilight Princess with disc replacements.
 
Ok. Here's the lowdown. The big N cant do anything about this until they find out who is actually doing the hacking. I gotta do some investigating. PM me if you want to co-operate on it
 
Call me when it's actually important like people coming into other people's towns and dropping buildings in front of gates and homes so the whole game has to be deleted.

That is a shame. Sorry to see you go. But if you feel better I have not gotten any hacked stuff.
 
I don't see what the problem is, like Nintendo really is going to release that much DLC.

And wouldn't it be possible to just hack in the legit DLC anyway? I suppose it won't show up in your catalog or something? Not that big of a deal.
 
[quote name='DsPet, creator of the hacked DLC']
The release of the 3 test 'hacked' DLCs was a test of the technology, as well as the reaction of the community.

re: Hacked DLC item and future Nintendo items
I've picked item codes that are very unlikely to be used by Nintendo (unless they intentionally want to overlap).
In the ideal world, good hackers and Nintendo can live together and we all sing kumbaya and there won't be conflicting IDs.
But collisions may happen,
Each town has their own copy of DLC. They trade them but the first one that is installed wins. So two towns may have two different interpretation of DLC item codes. See below for getting rid of them.
Most scenarios are ok. The game compensates. Lets say you mixed up two hat types, then two people would view the town in different ways.
When they aren't compatible, you mix up a hat type and a tool type, the game also compensates.
Sometimes a hat is not drawn and you get a bald character. The "headless hat" photo on my website is another example of some things out of whack.
Things may look weird but I haven't seen it crash (but that's not a promise because you know some 'bad hacker' is going to try to make something damaging like the "seed" problem in AC:WW).----
re: get rid of DLC
Getting rid of DLC you don't want is a stickier issue. Normally DLC you don't use is ignored by the game. I don't think it's a problem today (since there are only 5 items with no overlaps). It will get messy when more people create DLC items unless we are careful.BTW: Getting rid of unwanted DLC is easy if you have WiiBrew. Non-WiiBrew users don't have a good answer at the current time. They can start their town over and immediately visit a town with the wanted DLC. Or they can install WiiBrew.
So bottom line, conflicting item codes are not the end of the world, but for a number of good reasons we should try to avoid them.[/quote]

Hope that link works.
 
[quote name='VioletArrows']Today I added everyone who PM'd or addressed me, and crunchewy, Scrubking, ProfWho, and converse. Anyone else, just let me know.[/quote]

I just added you and my gates are currently open. Thank you!
 
i seriously doubt that nintendo would let shared data have an impact on your ability to do downloads. Think back to other titles where people have hacked things (particularly pokemon). They've never done anything to damage potentially innocent users. If the new content is supposed to go in a slot that is already in use, it will likely be over written.
 
I don't understand what this means. If Filler comes to my town or if I accept an item from him or he mails me an item, does that mean that I will start seeing hacked items I don't know about showing up at Tom Nooks, in residents houses, etc? Or if I accept a hacked item from him and then get rid if it could it then show up again similarly?

I'd rather not have any hacked items. I'd like to know to what length I have to go to avoid that. I hope I don't have to mass delete FCs.
 
wow, what a weird little situation. i really hate to delete anybody from my friends list. i hope this gets resolved sooner rather then later.

No. If, going completely against what Nintendo has been doing lately, they release 256 pieces of official DLC, but before that you've come in contact with someone who has come in contact with [etc.] someone who has the AIDS DLC (red or blue light sabers, shinyblue Pikmin) then you are unable to get the Nintendo DLC. However, according to the creator of the hacked DLC:

The only sure fire way is not make any more online contact. However, that's really overreacting. Worst case scenario is instead of a official Nintendo item DLC, you get a hacked saber or something instead. You can fix it if you are able to run homebrew.
 
Hold on. You seem to be answering yes. Also you seem to be assuming that there will only be 3 or 4 such hacked DLC's when you can be absolutely positive that more then 256 hacked DLCs will be produced, if they haven't already been produced. If every single one has a unique ID, that would leave none for Nintendo. Lastly, you also talk about Pikmin hats and lightsabers which are all fine and dandy and which I couldn't care less about. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that it won't be long before, shall we say, less then intelligent folks, will be inundating the system with their favorite images. I play Animal Crossing, but my kids, 6 and 7, play the game with me too, in the same town. Now what am I suppose to do? Do I have to delete all my FCs to prevent crap like that from showing up? Do I have to delete my town if they do?
