According to one of the guys who has been doing a lot of the datamining, apparently one of the things that changed in the new update is that NPC appearances are now totally randomized, meaning that Leif, Kicks and Saharah are no longer a guaranteed appearance every week. I’m not clear on whether this means there is more or less of a chance for Redd to appear every week or not, if it really is truly random. The post doesn’t mention whether the game will still prioritize visitors that didn’t appear the previous week. (EDIT: Spoilered the post image because of a very minor spoiler that anyone who saw the update announcement probably saw already.)
