For those who don't know, Animal Crossing Pocket Camp was a gotcha game where you're mostly pulling for furniture and cute outfits to dress up your character and build cute campsites.

Nintendo said that they were shutting down the servers. But they did something pretty cool. Instead of letting the game dissappear, they re-released the game but offline, with all of the events on a loop, and rebalanced the currency to benefit the player and make it possible to participate in everything.

I wish that sort of thing happened. Re-release the game, but paid instead of free, with all of the old events on a automatic loop including character birthdays. Make crystals easier to obtain. And make it fully offline. And let people transfer over their old save games.

That way we can still enjoy the game, and the developers could milk a last round of money out of the game.

The other day I was bored so I returned to my Nintendo 3DS and booted up my Animal Crossing new Leaf town. After walking around to see what my town looked like, thankfully I had the beautiful Town ordinance so there were no weeds and all of my flowers were still there.

It was early morning so none of the villagers were active so I just spent my time looking through my house and appreciating my old decorations. I also took a look through my clothing in storage and came up with a few new outfits since I noticed my mannequins didn't have any complete outfits on.

Anyways, I wish to return to playing the game consistently and was wondering if there is anything you specifically like to do, especially when coming back after a hiatus.

I love the theme of Mina being an unsung hero.

​

While the city may be in anarchy and everyone thinks you just murdered the mayor, Mina knows deep down she did the right thing and we see from the ending that the environment is healing.

​

Perhaps some day the people will realize the negative effects of the generators and that Lionel tried to cover it up. Perhaps some day they'll celebrate and welcome Mina and Thorne back into the city.

I'm not an expert in BG3 or anything, but I've beaten the game once and was very thorough to see basically everything, and I enjoy using the wiki. I haven't played tactician before, and while I want to help us win, I don't want to overshadow everyone so I aimed to be balanced here.

What do you think? Any suggestions or flaws you see?

Name: Big Marvin

Creation:

• Dwarf Duergar

• Barberian

• Urchin for Slight of Hand (Lockpicking, Disarming, Stealing) Stealth (Sneak attacking and stealing)

• Str 16 (+2)

• Dex 16 (+1)

• Con 15 (TB will add +1 later)

• Int 8

• Wis 8

• Cha 10

• Proficiency Athletics (Kick / Shove), Survival (Buried Treasure)

• Ash Tone 6

• Purple 1 eyes

• Masque of Wrath Tattoo

• Silvergold Gala piercings

• Bald

• Forgefire Tassels facial hair

Race: Duergar

Free Enlarge (lv3) doesn't stack with Giants Rage, but can still be useful either as a weaker rage if I'm out of rage charges, or to use out of combat to get advantage on strength checks or athletics (shove/ boot) checks

Free Invisibility (lv5) makes up for my 25ft speed as I can start combat wherever I want. Also combos well with Giant Boot, which says its better while invisible. Meaning I should open combat by invisibly walking up to the high ground and kicking someone off it. Synergizes well with the Giants hybrid ranged melee style as I start up close and work to make space.

Superior Darkvision

Advantage against illusions, charmed, poisoned, and paralyzed

Resistance to poison

Access to Dwarf exclusive Dwarven Thrower Hammer in act 3 which is pretty cool

Class: Giant Barberian

Allows me to play a throwing character, but less broken than Throwzerker

Rage makes me bigger, and increases throw damage extra

Improved bonus action shove that's especially good while invisible

Elemental Cleaver adds 1d6 damage of whatever element I want to all my throws. Gives everything the thrown attribute and makes the weapon reappear in my hand.

Items

The following are basically every item that improves throwing. I want to collect them all, even if I won't actually use them. Items like Caustic Band, Helldusk Gloves, or Marksmans hat may be wanted by other party members.

• Ring of Fling from Aaron

• Returning Pike from Goblin merchant

• Bracers of Defense from secret murder basement in village

• Sparklehands Gloves from chest by swamp woodwoad fight

• Necklace of Misty Step from Gut's room

• Bloodguzzler Garb from the Bulette Body

• Gloves of Kushigo from wife for saving dude from mushroom field

• Caustic Band from wife

• Protecty Sparkswall Robes from Grymforge chest

• Cap of Wrath from Thudd the Duergar in Grymforge

• Lightning Jabber from cursed KuoToa Chief ambush act 2 (In Tactician Difficulty, there's actually TWO KuoToa Chiefs, so I can get 2 Lightning Jabbers)

• Flawed Helldusk Gloves from giving Dammon a third piece of metal in act 2

• Marksman hat from Zent in moonrise

• Callous Glow Ring in Balthazars vault

• Dark Justicier Gauntlets from boxes around Yurgir's den

• Nyrulna from Jurassic Park

• Dwarven Thrower from secret shar spy by barn

• Legacy of Masters Gloves from act 3 Dammon

• Helldusk Gloves from Haarlep

• Orin's knife

Specific Items

Immediately beg the group to let me go to the goblin camp so I can get returning pike, since I won't get elemental cleaver until act 2 basically. And Ring of Flinging is also a necessity

Protecty Sparkswall Robes + Sparkle Hands + Lightning Jabber + Elemental Cleaver (Lightning)= 6 lightning charges a turn although that won't be doable until mid act 2

Feat

Tavern Brawler obviously for increased throw damage, as well as an extra point in my constitution stat.

Alert so I can go first in combat, also ensuring that if I open combat while invisible, my friends can sneak into positions before I move

Flexibility

Path of the Giant allows for a hybrid ranged and meele style of gameplay, my team will mainly be melee, so I can either hang back and throw from safety, or follow them into battle.

Elemental Cleaver allows me to switch which element I'm using, allowing me to get around resistances or exploit vulnerabilities

If I feel disappointed by Path of the Giant features, pivoting to the classic Berserker throwing build will be easy, since my race and items would still synergize with it perfectly.

I always enjoy doing some internet research about "best items for Storm Sorcerer" and stuff before my playthrough. I think its fun to have a plan going in. Although I sorta forgot that because I'm evil I won't have access to certain items, especially from Dammon and the other Tiefling refugees, so I just crossed them out because I'm pretty sure they aren't going to be possible. Each item list is mostly in order from earliest to latest. Some of the items I described the name or location of in strange or funny ways just for my own method of remembering, feel free to ask what item I'm referring to if its not obvious.

I gave a reason, and a few concept ideas for each character build followed by a list of a bunch of items that may be useful to them. I know a lot of them take up the same slot. I'll just decide which I prefer when I get them, and I'll just hold onto the other in camp in case I change my mind.

This is my third playthrough by the way. My first two were both good Tav, on normal difficulty.

This is an evil Dark Urge tactician playthrough. While I won't be doing EVERY evil choice, I'm definitely going to side with the goblins in act 1 and be comedically chaotic and evil. I plan to just do whatever I want at any given moment, and enjoy discovering the consequences
