Okay coming from someone who has invested over 300 hours into this game you would think I don't have too many nit picky issues about this game because I absolutely love the game and have been waiting 6-7 years for a new animal crossing release however, I feel that multiplayer is seriously lacking, especially with the new Nintendo online of having to even pay for it.
Don't get me wrong, I love playing multiplayer and I love the aspect of having to trade for certain things however, it feels... restrictive in many ways.
I personally hate the whole best friend's feature because although it allows other players to mess with your town, it's not to the full extent I think previous games allowed when having others come visit. At most when allowing someone best friend access you can dig, plant and do other basic things like fish, catch bugs, shop, sell and drop items. But my biggest pet peeve is that cutting down trees, or even hitting trees with a flimsy axe, or hitting a rock with a shovel is restricted only to the player who owns the island. I find this absolutely baffling, while also understandable for saving resources for the owner. I think it's a little dumb in my opinion that they didn't add different levels of restrictions and allowances for people in your town if they went as far as to add a best friend feature.
I recently bought my boyfriend a switch and he got a copy of the game so we could play together and I felt bad answering his questions.
"Can you help me place down furniture?"
" Can you help me chop my trees down?"
" You can come get materials from my rocks and trees"
To which I had to respond that I wasn't able to do these things even with best friend allowances. For collecting wood stacks on his island he would run around and I would pick everything up since I couldn't help.
I feel like there should be an option to allow people to do certain things:
Plant Trees/ Flowers / Dig Holes
Hit and break rocks
Hit and cut down trees
And even be able to help decorate someone's town by actually placing down item's if they allow you to.
I feel like after playing New leaf for so long and having friends come over and help completely reform your town instead of doing it on your own is something that I'm missing the most of out game play. It just seems like the most you can do right now is work on your own town and when it's complete there isn't much to do otherwise. There's not that many mini games to even play with friends bedsides Fishing Tourney, Bug Off and playable events for holidays (when then are even restrictive due to not hitting trees and such for Bunny Day.
I just thought I'd ask around and see if anyone else is a little disappointed with these features and what you guys are doing when you have company over visiting your Islands.
