No More Micro-Transactions
Despite previously being free-to-play,Pocket Campdid give some players an advantagein the past for spending money, getting access to more unique items and ways to decorate and therefore being able to create more elaborate builds . While it didn’t outright affect gameplay,many were unable to enjoy the game to the fullest without needing to spend real money, missing out on some key elements and potential for decorating tot he fullest. Particularly through items like furniture that required substantial leaf tickets or fortune cookies to get a hold of, most gamers were limited to what items they could buy and how they could decorate their areas.
Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete Includes Another New Currency Great For Returning Players
With the release of Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete, Nintendo includes a feature with players from the first Pocket Camp game in mind.
Some of the game’s most stunning furniture items were those locked behind fortune cookies, an item that required players to make use of leaf tickets to buy. As leaf tickets were primarily obtained by spending real money, this ensured that anyone who wanted the best and most extraordinary of event items needed to pay. Purchasing a complete set of items was also just as much of a challenge though, as the process of opening fortune cookies was luck based and often also gave players duplicates, requiring people to pay even more than they may have anticipated.
Now though,Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Completeis set to be equal for all, giving players access to any item they’ve dreamed of before. While items may still cost certain tickets in this new event, players will no longer be required to spend real money to unlock anything, earning these tickets in new ways like challenges. Now as there’s an even playing field, anyone can unlock every in-game item and truly feel the excitement of each event for themselves, fully able to take advantage of differing items and themed decor for builds and designs.
Everything Depends On Leaf Tokens In Pocket Camp
A New Currency Rules All In Pocket Camp Complete
With the removal of leaf tickets, players will now need touse leaf tokensinAnimal Crossing: Pocket Camp Completeto buy exclusive in-game items. Essentially replacing the original currency, these will be similar to what players would’ve used for fortune cookies, luxury furniture or skipping long cool-downs when building items. Instead, though, these will be earnable completely for free.
Obtained through a variety of in-game stretch goals, such as requiring the player to complete challenges like aiding visitors with tasks, these should be relatively easy to get a hold of. While it’s yet to be seen how many of these tickets can be earned at once and how quickly, there’s a lot of promise that players will no longer be limited by expensive, unobtainable furniture and items overall. With that in mind,it likely won’t be difficult for players to enjoy the bountiful complete access thatAnimal Crossing: Pocket CampCompletewill now offer, getting a hold of a variety of items previously held behind luck and micro-transactions.
As the game shifts away from requiring real money,Animal Crossing: Pocket CampCompleteshows a lot of promise. Packed with content and events that players might’ve already experienced but been limited in what they could afford to access, it’ll in many ways feel like a whole new experience in itself. While there’s still time to see if this new offline version of the game will succeed, it’s looking to have a promising launch with this December event and earnables.
