the first 2 visits are the exceptions. this is confirmed

people who do not trade or time travel may not complete their museums before 2023 or 2024

Yikes where did you acquire this knowledge?

So basically expect people to start charging dozens of NMT's for a single painting.... :/

"the first 2 visits are the exceptions. this is confirmed"

Which 2 visits are we talking about here? The first two where he walks about the island? Because I've had his ship (where I can visit and buy his paintings) twice without TT'ing, and there was a day gap between the ship visits.

Ooofffff... basically a lot of people won't be finishing it I bet then. No way you can keep everyone on board for 3-4 years like that. But if that's the case maybe they plan on having sporadic updates until 2024ish.

ACCFDude - It's no big shock to me that a game that's designed to be played a little bit per day over the span of years is, well, designed to be played a little bit per day over the span of years.

But, like laurenlame, I would like to see a confirmation on this, too - when all other visitors have chances to appear at least once per week, and in previous games so has Redd, why would that be any different now? Even in this very thread, Pikminsatellite reports this standard behaviour as also applying to Redd.

"But if that's the case maybe they plan on having sporadic updates until 2024ish."

They do have plans for at least two to three years.

They do have plans for at least two to three years.

Intradasting. I figured we had no insight on how long they planned to keep it going, I imagined a year or two at the most. Cool.

Even if they want people to enjoy the game for as long as possible, once visit per month is ridiculous (if true). Once a week would suffice.

no way. that's insanity .

it should just be a randomized chance like the rest of the visitors

Once a month is madness! It's as if they want it to sting especially hard if you end up buying a fake...

I kind of like that. It makes his visits more meaningful imo, and adds longevity to the game.

Didn't he used to visit even more infrequently in the GameCube version?

Previous games, he would visit once a week.

Better not mess up on choosing the right/wrong painting.

Kinda sucks though, I do wish it was a few more than that because I love the paintings exhibit.

It should be more often.

Today I found out villagers mail statues.  I got a real robust statue in the mail from a Cranky villager.

^Oooo thats good to know!

That might explain why Rodeo mailed me a giant head statue O_o

If he only shows up once a month, that makes me really tempted to create extra characters so I can buy 2-3 pieces each time.

I don't love the idea of having extra houses taking up room, but if that's how it's going to be...

He has been to my town three times since the update and I don't time travel.  Where was this confirmed?

I wouldn't do anything until we're shown some proof of the claim, especially with multiple members in this thread stating otherwise.

"He has been to my town three times since the update and I don't time travel.  Where was this confirmed?"

No proof has been provided as of yet.

Yeah he's also shown up 2 additional times besides the initial visit. Got Mystic Statue the other day and today was Wistful Painting. Once a month seemed odd from the get go...

the first 2 visits are the exceptions. the third visit is the visit that happens 1 day of every month. some people will not see redd again in april after the first 2 visits. this is confirmed by time travelers

I've heard once every 2 weeks

"the first 2 visits are the exceptions. the third visit is the visit that happens 1 day of every month. some people will not see redd again in april after the first 2 visits. this is confirmed by time travelers"

Which time-travellers, and where, please? There are people in this thread whose statements contradict this - Pikminsatellite, for example, mentions having had two additional visits after the first two, with no time-travelling. People wouldn't see Redd again in April because he was added to the game a week from April's end.

I could say right here that Abraham Lincoln In Bear Form was confirmed as a neighbour in this game by time-travellers and dataminers, but I would have to provide a link to that data if I expected it to be believed.

you misunderstood that post.

first visit: redd is in the town center. the player can buy one art when they talk to him. this art is never fake

second visit: the ship is there and redd is walking in the town. he will enter the ship after the player talks to him

third visit and every next visit: the ship is there and redd is in the ship. this happens one day of every month

that post described the second and third visits

No, I understood. That post described third and fourth visits. Here is what was said;

Pikminsatellite;

"Which 2 visits are we talking about here? The first two where he walks about the island? Because I've had his ship (where I can visit and buy his paintings) twice without TT'ing, and there was a day gap between the ship visits."

It's right here - Pikminsatellite describes having had the first two visits where Redd is off-ship, and then an additional two. There is nothing here for me to misunderstand.

Please, where is the proof that Redd visits once per month? You have claimed it, but multiple people describe otherwise. Saying "this is confirmed" is not proof.
