Features You Want / Feature Ideas General Discussion

[pawprints]

Terraforming (i didn't know that word existed before reading this thread R I P) is something that I wasn't sure about at first. The more I think about it, the more I actually like it because... waterfalls. I want to have a lot of waterfalls!

As far as dream features, I can't really think of one. They've added SO MANY things as the games evolved and the difference between this game and NL are pretty damn staggering. It's not a "dream feature" as in it's never been in the game, but I'm hoping Rover's there. I was excited finding out he was in NL and I don't want to lose him again ;~;

They need to bring the shopping card back. I have no idea why they removed it after City Folk.

 

[SheepMareep]

I want to interact with the items! If theres a slide I want to be able to slide. Or if there's a ball I wanna kick it.
I just want to be able to actually use the things we have put around our towns ; u;..... like it would be so cute to sit on a swing and be able to use the joycons to swing back/forth

Some of these are more like "getting rid of previous features, but I think they need to be discussed.

1. I think New Horizons should get rid of scheduled visits. Sometimes people (including myself) forget in WW, CF, and NL. I think they should just be like "Hey, wanna come to my house right now?" or "Can we go over to your house right now?". That honestly makes more sense than just waiting for nothing.

2. Villagers should only change their mind about moving out/off the island if you try to stop them. Nothing in New Leaf makes me more pissed off than when a villager considers moving away, you support their decision, but then they change their mind. THIS MAKES NO SENSE!!!

3. Now, I think there are rumors of this being a thing. But I feel this also needs to be discussed. I think it would be awesome to be able to invite villagers you encounter on island tours to move on your island. Yes, Amino functionality IS confirmed, but there are hundreads of villagers in Animal Crossing, and it can be really hard to get cards of the one you want. Especially of you do not feel comfortable exchanges addresses and/or your parents/guardians will not allow you exchange addresses to trade for your dreamies/favorite villagers' Amino Cards

At the moment, I have two definite dream villagers, one of which whose card I do not have, and I want this villager more than the one whose card I do have. Not only that, but some people even said that getting all of their dream villagers this way is underwelming, and prefer to get them where they have to do some seeking for it to be more exciting. So, I think doing multiple island tours will be a great way to seek them out. ^^

Now, there is still a chance that villager adoption is coming back, but it will be nice to have different methods to choose from.

. . .

I was also hoping for New Horizons to have clothes with different colors to choose from, and screenshots/footage shows that this will be the case! ^___^ <33333

i want dream towns or some eqivalent to return! in a few months people's towns are going to look so crazy creative and fun and i want to walk around them endlessly without having to bother the actual people there.

as a bonus feature i want to be able to order furniture from homes in dreams. sort of like the streetpass plaza in new leaf.

 

[fink]

I would love to design shops and buildings from HHD in ACNH. Also be able to design villager homes. I guess an alternative wish would be to swim in the river.

 

[Luca]

My dream feature would be a dream feature! I'll be disappointed if dream addresses don't return, since this time I intend to actually make a town worth visiting.

As for features that we haven't seen before... I'd love to be able to design villagers' homes, especially the outside so that I could make them match my town aesthetic. It'd maybe be a fun reward for becoming best friends with a villager, and would give a lot more of a reason to build friendship than just getting a picture of them.

More storage. I honestly don't see why there should be storage limitations for the storage in our house (not for displaying furniture, I mean the storage that you can't see but can access in menus). You know how Happy Home Designer could hold everything? Yeah, like that. We haven't gotten a true confirmation for this I don't think though. But I'm just really sick of feeling like I have to hoard non-reorderable items and then not having enough space to put them. This was a big issue in NL.

I'd also like to see some kind of bank card or something that will work universally. Heck, they could even make some sort of Apple Pay sort of equivalent, like "Bell Pay" or something, as an app on your phone. I'm sure I'm not the only one who got annoyed about buying stuff (for instance, from Gracie) and knowing you had enough bells, but having to go to the ATM to get more out.

If they put those two things in, then combined with what we already know is in NH, I think my most wanted features will be completely in.

The unscheduled visits are annoying too. I can't tell you how many times I was in my house in NL trying to organize and THE MOMENT that I stop pushing a chair, a villager comes in. Stop it! I'm busy! I'd be OK if they knocked on the door randomly and stayed outside until/if you opened it, but they shouldn't just walk right in and force you to stop what you're working on.

 

[Xara]

cooking would be so cool; imagine being able to surprise your favourite villager with their favourite food c?:

I?d love to see gyroid storage at Brewster?s again. I loved that in City Folk. And tasks like hunting for villagers keys. I?d like more villager quests in general I think.

This was already confirmed in the direct though.

Really? ^_^

I thought they just said, “You might experience some unexpected encounters.”

I wasn’t sure whether they were implying that you could actually adopt them or not. ^^

This happened to me today. .-. *cough* Rooney *cough*. I have a love-hate relationship with this feature. On one hand, it can be so annoying when you are in the middle of arranging furniture and a villager just pops right in, as they damn-well please. But on the other hand, I also love the unannounced visits because, let's be honest, who doesn't love getting a surprise visit by thier favorite villager?

But I agree.

There should be some kind of mechanic in this game that prevents them from doing it when we are in the middle of arranging furniture wheather it be a DND thingy, having the option to deny their access or tell them to wait, or like the one you suggested.

 

[Scrafty]

do you think that because we can pick up whole trees now that we can place them next to other trees or bamboo and they'd survive? i'd love to be able to landscape like people did with hacked towns, plus the rescue service exists if you accidentally trap yourself lol

 

[Shawna]

I hope villager pics return. Now, I know that you can get villager posters by scanning their Amiibo, But I want to be able to get their pictures by befriending them, like in wild world and in new leaf. ^^

 

[Romaki]

It would really be nice if we could customize the outer and inner look of villagers' houses. Not that the game looks different than other games, but having 10 normal houses is kinda weird isn't it? I'd love more house designs for everybody, even if you could just use one uniform look for every house. I want my island to be more tropical and I wish the buildings (or at the very least the houses) could represent that.

 

[Dizzardy]

It just occurred to me how cool it would be if we could add custom buildings/shops to the town. Like a room that functions as a community space that villagers enter, walk around and interact with.

Sure we can put slot machines outside or in our house, or we could put them in a custom shop/community building dedicated to gambling. (just an example that came to mind because I saw someone in another thread mention putting a slot machine in their house)

Also it would save space on the island itself if you could place some objects inside community buildings.

 

[GhulehGirl]

I've been wondering if we'll be able to go swimming & diving in New Horizons like in New Leaf. I've not heard or seen any mention of it (yet).

Same..getting kinda worried, but makes no sense to take that away on an island.
