Things that annoy on NL

I hate it when I'm trying to catch those beetles off the damn coconut trees and I somehow scare one away when I was no where near it.

You have to get directly behind it and walk VERY slowly in the sneaking stance. thats how i catch the golden stags, which fly away at the slightest slip up

I do miss bringing Blathers giant bugs and watching him freak out. But I'll take donating multiple items over his Blathering any day.

Lol. What are you guys talking about? He still does? He talks about like how his mother tried to feed him bugs in the best and all. And yes, he does freak out

The majority of people don't have their friend codes on hand to give away, also, there are language barriers. It'd be a lot easier if you just clicked add and "added ----- to their friends lost" appeared.

Ugh, this is already in the game... What are you saying?
 
The rarest beetles are too skittish. I'm always one step too close before I release my net and they fly away. :\ Or else I'm no where near them and they fly off.

I thought grass deterioration only happened from running but apparently walking causes it too. -_- Thought I would be safe by just walking everywhere but nope, my river and ponds are going to be a muddy mess.

The randomness of suggestions from the villagers is very annoying for me. One suggestion in over a week. If this keeps up, I won't get everything for like 2 years. >_<

I'm alright with everything else. Getting much enjoyment from the game so far. :)
 
my only complaints are blathers is so boring now
he doesnt show any emotion to anything anymore
i liked how he freaked out about bugs, and how he went on and on about whatever you donated

and also the encyclopedia doesnt show much it just shows the seasons its caught and your record size (unless im screwing up on something, if i am please tell me XD)

What I meant to say was about the times where they fly away before you're even able to see them.
 
My only minor complaint is I've played online twice - with different people and at different times. Both times it was slightly laggy and we encountered an error towards the beginning, forcing everyone to re-join the town again. It was just item swaps, so we were able to get in/out quick. I'm worried about actual visits or playing mini-games at the island. :(

I'm 100% certain it's not my internet that's the problem. I have Japanese 1 gigabit fiber (faster than you can get in the US). It could be the large distance between me and the other players (so far have been US people) but I don't know.
 
  • No beach projects
  • Disappointing Kapp'n songs
  • Restrictions on placement of projects... Rocks can completely ruin your plans for an area
  • Sloooow unlocking of projects
  • Waaaay too easy to make Bells with the Island. I know people with 15 million already.

Up until 5 seconds ago I loved everything in this game. But I just tried to put a bridge in front of my house so I can have a private garden across the river. Apparently 3 squares of space isn't a big enough gap!

I reset 115 times for this map to find out 5 days later one of the biggest things I wanted can't be done for a completely fabricated reason! I made sure I have an exra 2 spaces in front from where Isabella said I was too close and yet this still isn't enough and now I can't delete my mayor without destroying the town I reset all day for. NOT IMPRESSED.

-flips my desk at the town hall-


So my thing that annoys is being unable to move the mayors house. And the apparently required 4 spaces radius all around a bridge that needs to be kept clear.

hahaha the "flips my desk" comment made me lol. I friggin hate Isabelle. I guess im one of the few who dont love her and think shes cute, but I think shes kinda ugly and her hair makes it worse. I dont even know whats going on with her hair... but I would have perferred Phyllis as my secretary. So you wanna put up a lamp post? Hope youve got a lot the size of a friggin house to put it in. Really Isabelle? I need MORE space around the lamp? Really Isabelle, I cant work during the bug off because YOU say so? Really Isabelle, YOURE the one telling ME im mayor? So where do YOU think it should go Isabelle!?!?! Why does a thin lamp post need more space than a friggin TREE? I dread trying to find where to put my larger projects because of this. And I havent put in a bridge yet but seriously if you need so much space then how come the villagers get to put their houses RIGHT IN FRONT of them?... It made me so mad trying to find a place to fit a street lamp that I wanted to slap her and tell her to do it herself. Go stick it in the middle of friggin nowhere Isabelle where itll do the most good:rolleyes: (i wish there was a non-smiling eye roll face)

I actually really love the game... but that really annoys me, and the fact that my work computer goes to sleep and closes all my windows if I step away for 3 MINUTES! (and I cant change the settings)
 
I'm not really crazy about Isabelle either. She's alright, I guess. Kind of miss Rover at my start up screen. :'(
 
I agree. Isabelle is the worst. All she does is complain about working to hard or too much, and cries a lot. And all she ever does isbsay "Take the day off" like why? I need to work hard. Oh theres an event today. Take the day off... I bet you Ordinances are cheaper, or even free. She takes your 20k

I bet you tom nook could built a bridge for half the price you can build one for
 
That weird error you sometimes get while playing online with others! There is not even an error code to go with, just Resetti and "an error has occurred"... :mad: I wish I?d know how to fix this.
A lot of my friends, if not all of them, have encountered this error at least once *sigh*.

Another thing that I don?t like is that it seems like my villagers don?t chat with each other anymore. They bump into each other or stand in front of each other but don?t chat...

Pretty much this?

I wanted to build a bridge near my house (put it in a corner where i could have my little bridge for myself) and just found out , that this isn?t possible. Kinda frustrated with this, because the original bridge is in the middle of the river and putting a second bridge, doesn?t make sense, when I can?t build it, where I planned it.

And because my house is between the lager areas of the river, I can?t move the bridge a bit to either side.

I'm really, really, REALLY frustrated with this.

I didn't like her when I first saw her, but the little figurine for pre-ordering turned that around. But now I want to tie her to the underside of my new nowhere-near-my-house-so-I-can't-hear-her-scream bridge. I also would prefer Phyllis as a secretary, someone who can say you can't build any bridges because she doesn't feel like it and you can just respect that.
I haven't tried to build anything other than the campsite and bridges. - And my campsite is much closer to my river than my house is and that was fine.
Haha! That is exactly what I imagine will happen with a street light. People don't want lights around their houses and the bridges they always gather by.

Ooch, Hadn't considered how bad it could be if you live in the bend of a river. The river runs sraight/ish beneath my house and that's 14 squares that can't have a bridge, that again going up the side of my house would literally be a whole acre unable to hold a bridge. I hope you manage to find some compromise. I've relocated half my garden and bushes and plans to fit in with Isabelles idea for this town.
 
So far the only really annoying thing in the game is - and sadly it's quite major, but at least it's only for one stage of the game - is how slow the beginning of the game is. I understand not having everything at the beginning, and having to wait, Animal Crossing has always been about that to an extent, but this game takes it to a much larger extent - a very annoying extent.

First of all the amounts of "wait until tomorrow"s you get in the first few days is very annoying.

First day: "I've been waiting three years for this game! I'm so excited to have it in my hands and finally get to play it!" *plays for a little bit* *Isabelle allows for a short tutorial but tells you that you must wait until tomorrow for anything else.

Second day: You get told to wait until tomorrow yet again to be a mayor.

Third day: You're finally a mayor for the most part, but you are introduced to new reasons to wait until tomorrow, like when you meet Tortimer and are excited about getting to visit the island, he tells you he has sent for Kapp'n to come tomorrow. Why? I don't know...

And then everything else takes way too long, and it's to points that I don't see the necessity of it. They could have found a lot better ways to unlock shops than having to wait another ten days. It's unnecessary padding, and it's very annoying that you have to wait nearly a month for Shampoodle and two weeks for K.K. because of it. Congratulations you're stuck with that hairstyle you had at the beginning for nearly a month, and also with a music-less house for two weeks. -_-

Gosh dangit Nintendo, I did not wait three years for this game only to be told to wait even more after purchasing it!
 
In all Animal Crossing games, the fact that the money you pick up doesn't automatically go into your wallet.
