I Don't Get The Wand Hate

The wand is great because it does store the outfits. I'm so confused as to why people say that's bad.
As an avid WoW fan, the fact that I need to carry around all my +fishing skill outfit items in my bags with me all the time is SO, SO ANNOYING. The wand storing it for me is great!
If you don't like the wand, don't use it.

That's not the perspective we're using. We mean it's not using a photocopy, or accessing our storage.

Even if I buy 8 pairs of the same glasses, I may want to change my glasses, or shoes, but I can't when I am wearing a wand outfit.

Running to a storage unit allows me to change specific pieces of my outfit with ease. More ease than the wand could ever achieve in it's current state.

Then you can just not use the wand, surely? It's not like the game is forcing you to store items on it and use those eight outfits only.
 
You can change your glasses/shoes/etc by just editing the wand outfit, not hitting the "Get Changed" button.

I change my clothes a lot but I have a few set to things that I frequently go back to, like PJs or some of my favorite things I want to switch back to. I definitely leave certain things out because I know I'll mix and match with those things -- but once I've found a solid outfit I add it to the wand.

I think my main frustration of changing out of the wand outfits to change clothes is that you can't access the tool ring inside. I usually have my wand interchanging spots in my tool ring with my stone axe (depending on what I'm using more). It would make equipping the wand easier and I don't have to scroll 1 by 1 through my inventory to pull out my bamboo wand. But it's still a great feature and I love it.
 
I have multiple issues with the wands.
1- they remove any item you use in a transformation from your closet so dressing up differently but wanting a certain item requires you to delete your wand outfit or have multiple of the same item.
2- you can only use a single item in one transformation, so if you want bunny ears in all of them you need a ton of bunny ears instead of just the one.
3- you need to take off the transformation to buy clothes from the able sisters in the dressing room

If it is going to take my item from my inventory space within my closet I do not see why the transformation would not be... my actual clothing. I like to change up my outfit every day and mix/match so having them restricted to an outfit I'm not wearing at that time is very frustrating. I'd understand not being able to wear what you picked out in the dressing room bc of the transformation but I hate having to remove it just to go shopping. And if you drop the wand for more inventory space your transformation disappears. So that's frustrating when trying to rearrange flowers and trees.

I dont use it for anything but a cute accessory now :p and my rainy outfit

This is a great point I hadn't considered before but you're so right! Wands make the perfect tool for having several outfits to wear on other people's islands.
 
i think the wand is a great idea and im glad they introduced it, but like others have said it could have been done better. i wear glasses and id like it if i could have the same pair across all outfits (u usually dont have different pairs of glasses unless u use them for reading) without having to spend a load of bells getting 8 different glasses. i also dislike how u have to take off ur wand outfit before u can edit them/use ur wardrobe. its also annoying if u find a clothing piece from a balloon and want to try it on, but have to take off ur wand outfit at first. sure, op has been saying u just take it off what's the big deal? but inconvenience is annoying and that's definitely what this wand struggles with. i still like the item, but i will only use it for costumes now instead of outfits i wear everyday.
 
I think the largest point of different wands at the minute is to distinguish between which outfit is stored where. It's easy enough to remember you have your pyjamas on the star wand and your winter outfit on the bamboo wands but a lot harder to remember 'right, I have my winter outfit on my bamboo wand. One of my three different bamboo wands.'

Yikes, I hadn't even thought about this. I don't have ANY wands yet, but you've just confirmed if I get one, I'm gonna need a TON.
 
Thing is, buying a ton of glasses to repeat in your outfits isn't really that expensive, it won't cost a 'ton of bells'. Less than 10k at best, less than 20k at worse, glasses are really over 2k in price (this of course doesn't apply for anything obtained through events, that does sound annoying). If you wanted to buy the royal crown for every outfit, THAT would be annoying. But the kind of stuff that people wear repeatedly are generally reorderable cheap things. You could easily afford all your pairs of glasses with 10/20 minutes of bug catching in the evening.
 
I absolutely love the wand. SO much that I'm willing to accept some of it's drawbacks. I couldn't get along without it!

Haha, good luck! I can always make you your first wand if you can provide me with a large star fragment or 6 spring bamboo

Yes, this is exactly how I feel!
 
I love the wand, I‘m obsessed with fantasy and magical girl related things, so I feel like a magical girl when I use it ;w;
 
I love my wand ;w; I also just got the recipe for the cherry blossom one so I'm gonna craft that soon :3c

Aah, I forgot about cherry blossoms! My time zone and the fact I don't time travel means I haven't gotten them yet, but I will tomorrow, I'm so excited! I've gotten myself an Asian-inspired outfit loaded up onto my bamboo wand ready to look pretty amongst all the pretty pink trees!
 
I don't have the wand. I keep opening my wardrobe to store items forgetting it asks me if I want to change clothes xD If I had the wand I'd have to get used to using it lol.
 
if u dont love the cherry blossom wand then we can't be friends

but no yeah there are some annoying things like having to un-poof your outfit to change into clothes outside of the set wand outfit. it's most likely to prevent duplicating clothing by changing into an outfit, changing out of it, dropping it, poofing the outfit back on, rinse and repeat

label treats you as if you're naked if you wear a wand outfit which is... weird

good step overall and of course if you have a problem with the wand the simplest thing to do is not use it, but i think it's neat and on the whole is only a help rather than a hinderance

Could you please tell me how you do that? I have 3 different wands and all of them access the same 8 outfits. :confused:


On-Topic:
I like the idea of the wand, but 2 of its flaws are so stupid. Outfits should be saved as recipes and not be pulled inside the 'wand storage'. Buying multiple copies of clothes I use more often is super annoying. Now that my storage is at max., at least space won't be a problem for a while.

The other flaw (and imo biggest one) is that different wands don't seem to hold different outfits. But if that actually is possible and i just haven't figured out how, then i'd be more than happy to get rid of this point of criticism. XD

I think the concept is nice... but personally, I think they made it way more complicated than it should've been. I'm glad other people like it, but it's just not for me. Used it once and then put it away in my storage for now. It just makes things too confusing for me.

I mean I could see myself using it in the future, it's just that right now, I don't have enough different outfits to make it worth the hassle at the current moment
 
why is there so much hate and critism based around this game.. i do not remember everyone being this critical when new leaf came out..
