Anyone Else Concerned by these Features?

[Sanaki]

Dont like it dont play it, simple, go play the other animal crossings, bye

People can express their opinions about the game if they want to. Even if they like it.

Only thing that really irks me personally is the extremely restrictive couch co-op (can't speak for online co-op but others have said it's the same way?). Hubby and I have been so excited to play together and actually do things like earn bells. Turns out only one of us can really do anything while the other can do jack all. Bug catching together is about the only semi-doable thing since there's so many bugs. Even then, the moment the leader interacts with any UI (brings up his phone, or the tool ring etc) the follower stops being able to even swing his net. And if you want to give the other player something and they're a follower? Goes straight into the recycle bin. Okay so we'll go there to grab it. But then you also have to switch leader so the follower can even interact with the bin. It's so many levels of unnecessary tedium.

Even if they, for some reason, have to keep the leader/follower system, at least make swapping a one-button process.

Im really only bothered by the tools which is really silly but it honestly makes me so mad when my tools break on me, like when im hitting a rock for nuggets and my tool breaks!

 

[claracampanelli]

honestly i'm not that concerned
i'm at day 6 and really enjoying the game!
and my villagers are very talkative lol
they ask a bunch of favours, Diva even made up a tournament for me yesterday, that she buried a present for me to find xD
dialogue is way better than New Leaf, maybe you're not talking to your villagers that much?

 

[Saga]

I'm totally addicted and love a lot of the features such as crafting furniture, increased interaction between villagers, much cuter decor, new fish and bugs, a GORGEOUS museum, and so forth.

My main complaints are tools breaking, villagers rarely giving me a task or interacting beyond talking, super repetitive mystery islands, set colors for items from Nook's kiosk (ie. I can only get a pink vending machine, not a blue one), and a severe lack of storage space, even after several expansions. Co-op is also quite limited.

 

[pinkbunny]

Not at all, I'm loving the game, maybe that's because I don't TT and I'm trying to take it day by day and experience the updates real time.
I feel like people need to just wait, we were told more content and more NPCs were coming in free updates. So obviously the game might feel bland or unfinished right now, as we are only in the first week. However, personally, I haven't felt this way at all. And in comparison to NL, I almost feel as if there's more to do in this first week than there was in NL.
I'm so excited to see what's coming next!

 

[Dizzardy]

A little bit...I'm not overly worried but there is a bit of concern.

I do think the villager dialogue has gotten a bit better now that they're not in tutorial mode.

Also it does worry me just how many iconic npcs from the stories are absent, you know it's not like one or two....it's definitely in double figures the amount of npcs that are missing. I get the impression that they intend to add these npcs down the line through updates, I don't really like that approach but at the very least it makes me less worried about the lack of npcs.

Honestly the main things that bother me are the things I'm not sure if they'll change in an update. Things like the villager limit, gyroids and pitfall seeds.

 

[WanderingIsle]

There's just so much to do andlook forward to. And besides, the beauty of AC is if you don't play for a while, you'll have hours of catching up to do to see what you've missed, land maintenance, new dialogue etc

 

[Flunkifera]

EDIT: forget this thread. It was more geared toward TTers. I went 3 weeks in and I'm still concerned, only time will tell.

We waited 8 whole years for this game, and the fact of thse things, is extremely disapointing to me:

~ Terrible Villager Dialogue
~ The feeling of "lacking" content in the game

I am actually not concerned about this at all. Keep in mind that we are playing Animal Crossing since 6!! days. I don't know how fast you guys make friendships, but it all comes over time. By time they will trade things with you, want to play games with you, give you gifts, send you letters etc. Also it's confirmed that there will be updates for events etc. so that won't be a problem either.
In 6 days you'll never see all the content an AC game has to offer, it's never been that way. We have to play at least 1 whole year to see everything.

 

[Wickel]

I'm not concerned about the missing furniture sets at all, IMO most furniture sets were super outdated. I love that they added a lot of new furniture because it's a much better match with the current day styles while still keeping a lot of variety.

 

[peachycrossing9]

I'm not concerned right now.

I'm sure they will bring out updates in the future.
I don't mind about the furniture sets thing, why would you want the same repeated sets over and over again anyways? It's nice to have something different.
It's still early in the game, there is still room for improvement. I don't find myself getting bored, I feel like there is always heaps to do.

One thing I'm not a fan of is my tools breaking, that can be annoying

....On the rant thread, there were literally certain people replying to every single complaint posted as if they were trying to defend themselves from personal attacks. I think they got offended that people were having different opinions than them of the game. They can't deal with people having criticism of something they like. ....

LMAOOOO. I know exactly what you are referring to and it was very grating. I think that it is valid and okay to have criticisms. I think we shouldn't spiral them, yeah, but I think that criticism is healthy and normal and we shouldn't disparage it just because it makes us all feel uncomfortable.

I love the game so far, but it's more than fine for me to be worried about certain little things like furniture sets or gyroids not being dug up. I'd be elated to be disproven later down the line, but initially I am going to be a little concerned. And that's fine. Until those things come by then I'll miss them dearly, and I think it's more than acceptable to voice it. I don't think people need to gatekeep animal crossing and come on and police and harp on every little thread that might be complaining a little. Please go find appreciation threads if you want to express appreciation. That's the reason that there'd be any sort of toxicity to this community. Not the fact that some people aren't 100000% siked about everything.

I also think that it would've been more okay and less noticeable if the game wouldn't have come out at such a trying time in the world. Nobody could have predicted that we would experience a worldwide pandemic that shut down a good majority of countries. People are probably TTing and playing a lot faster now that they're stuck at home (myself included) with nothing else to do. And while it's the perfect game to come out right now, it's also easier to see the missing things too. And I am sure that with the alleged updates, people are kind of concerned about what this very pandemic means for the delays on any updates that were possibly supposed to be released quite soon. I have only TT'ed about 2 weeks ahead into the game so far and I already miss all of the things that are missing. In two weeks, Nintendo is not going to release a DLC package. They might not even release it within the next several months. Who knows if this will have an effect that strongly on their content release rates, but it's not too crazy to worry if it would. I think that's something that needs to be taken into perspective.

 

[Plainbluetees]

I’m concerned. WHAT ABOUT LEIF, MR. SHRUNK, GRACIE, KATIE, DREAM SUITES, KICKS, CRAZY REDD & PAINTINGS, LYLE, MUSICAL POSTCARDS, GYROIDS, AND KATRINA?

Edit: I’m not saying that the game sucks. It’s awesome in it’s own unique ways. I just wish Leif existed... (can you tell)

 

[Bluebellie]

I’m concerned about furniture series.
Haven’t really seen any of the ones I loved. Rococo, regal, lovely, etc. Hoping they will add it later on. Also have to get used to the villagers lack of pings. I only get like 1 a day.

But I’m still hoping that will change.

 

[Krissi2197]

Well Leif was confirmed to come back at least temporarily for the earth day event!

This gives me hope that more NPCs will show up in the future.

 

[jewpac]

Patience people, patience. Holy.

You knew what I meant...I stated that

I didn't even bother listing the characters who were flat out replaced with NEW characters, such as Chip and Porter.

So I don't know what you are going on about all these old basic characters that are taking on certain roles that warranted a separate character in New Leaf.... (and certain new characters who's main role replaced the role of one old character, but was extended to include the role of another character)

Exactly! 100% agree about those people policing complaint threads. It has really created toxicity within this community in the last week (that being said, some of the complainers aren't without blame, either). Like I don't understand why they get defensive with people who display even the slightest bit of disappointment, when they are literally lurking a COMPLAINT THREAD. If they don't want to see people talking being disappointed with some aspects of the game, they should probably go find an appreciation thread. Expressing disappointment of something is a completely normal thing! Defending the game from complaints is PERFECTLY FINE to an extent...it's just that the certain people are starting to go overboard (not naming any names). Like it's perfectly fine if you are responding to a complaint about something that has been PROVEN to be false, but it is EXTREMELY annoying when people start pulling stuff out of thin air about certain things in (or more specifically, not in) the game, and then try to use that as their defense, as if they know it to be the truth. Sigh...

I have found that both here, and on Twitter, the people with the most concerns are people who TT.

I TT'd a lot in NL (I even had a cycling town at one point) so I'm not against it at all. But most of the issues being reported about lack of content seem to be because people are playing too fast and I can't help but feel it was Nintendo's intention to slow things down.

I'm playing daily, I'm impatient by nature and it's tough for me to not just skip to tomorrow and unlock something new. But with restraint I'm actually loving waking up each day and seeing what happens next. Because it's a really slow game, I have plenty of bells and resources and my relationships with my villagers is awesome, they ping so much and the dialogue is brilliant!

Nook miles are easy to obtain when you spend a lot of time fishing and bug hunting and I do several tours a day, with enough banked to eventually move my house when I unlock that option.

I do totally understand some people's frustrations, but it's the perfect time to slow down, water some flowers, fish and catch bugs... I honestly think Nintendo wanted people to play day by day and it's a shame that this is disappointing people so much

 

[Sanaki]

Just because people time travel doesn't mean the concern of missing NPCs and dialogue are not bland though. People who don't time travel will still see that and probably have some things they don't like.

I really love the game and its occupied my time for the past week cause of quarantine. But I have reasonable criticism against it. But I'm glad to know there's more updates with content/npcs possibly coming.
