Nintendo has reduced the number of “some eggs” players will find in Animal Crossing: New Horizon’s Bunny Day event – seemingly responding to public outcry about how many freaking eggs there are right now.

The news was revealed in a set of patch notes from Nintendo, which detailed changes coming to the game as part of Version 1.1.4. “During the Easter event, the appearance rate of some eggs has been adjusted until April 11, 2020,” the patch notes read. Below, it mentions that the rate of eggs will increase again on April 12th to commemorate Easter Sunday.

It’s not immediately clear which egg types have seen the reduction in numbers, although it seems likely that eggs caught while fishing would be a target.

If you’ve been playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons recently you will have been forced into the Bunny Day event, where Zipper the ‘rabbit’ has infected the island with countless eggs, replacing many of the normal resources players are trying to collect on their daily adventures.

Despite the fact that Zipper is objectively terrifying, this eggstravaganza has caused chaos for players who don’t care much for the Bunny Day exclusive crafting items, which include an absurd variety of egg-infused furniture, and outfits that turn your islander into an egg. Many players have turned to social media to address the issue, putting Zipper in the firing line.

It’s a lot to deal with and can be overwhelming for those players who just want to go about their day fishing for Sea Bass. Water Eggs have replaced some of the fish in the water, meaning you can waste precious tools reeling fish-shaped, bait nibbling eggs out of a pond. It’s a nightmare.

The same can be said for Sky Eggs, which replace the gifts attached to balloons you can shoot down with your slingshot. You can’t even whack a rock for iron without receiving Earth Eggs.

Luckily, Nintendo has seemingly listened to the fans on this occasion and quickly issued a fix to address the distaste towards Zipper and his insane eggpocalypse.
