Pet Peeves in Animal Crossing

[ComradeSch]

We all have times when we play Animal Crossing that just make us want to pull our hair out. What kinds of things in the game annoy you to no end?
For me:

-Ocean sunfish. I want a SHARK, not a flat screw-up excuse of a fish.
-The sometimes cheap, greedy nature of the villagers. I'm not giving away a genie's lamp for a beatnik tee!
-I miss the random items that would be buried by villagers in AGPG. I really do. Now all you can dig up are pitfalls, fossils, and time capsules (in NL.) But I also hate the long, deadly process through which you have to go through in order to get fossils examined. unlike in NL, where you can have an entire inventory examined and submitted at once.

When my pockets are full.

 

[bofoz]

When I dig a hole inaccurately.

 

[dizzy bone]

- Digging up a bush or special tree stump by accident
- KICKING A PATH instead up picking up a flower, especially on my secondary character
- Beginning a convo with a villager just as another villager pings
- Dung beetles
and my biggest...
- The dinging sound of the mail box and just getting mail in general. I usually don't check it unless I'm expecting mail from the HHA or after a villager moves out... it always gets to the point when it's all full and the dinging drives me nuts, but I still ignore it.

Still not as bad as sea bass though..

biggest pet peeve has to be tables, counters and shelves that you can't put crap on.

 

[Neriifur]

- Not being able to destroy rocks.
- Limited inventory space.
- Amount of bells you can carry.
- The fact that Gracie is female in ACNL. I -hate- the fact that they always have to change things in games in NA or censor things just because it would cause confrontation. People get offended by the dumbest things here.
- The fact that it seems hard to either aim at what paths you wanna pick up, or the fact that when you want to pick up an item, you pick up the path instead. -.-
- Limited texture creation panels per character.

 

[mearepaige]

I'm getting peeved just reading these haha..

Okay I hate:
-When I try to plant flowers and the go in the wrong spot
-When I'm hitting a rock for coins and it digs a hole
-Having to run back and forth from the dock to re-tail to sell all your island stuff
-The ceremony when something is done being built
-Catching nothing but the same fish over and over (Sea Bass.. sooo many sea bass)
-Getting fossils checked out and donated
-Digging up pitfall seeds
-Accidentally scaring fish away from running
-Lack of enough storage and pocket space

 

[Pathetic]

-when i cant place a god damn flower where i want to and it ends up like 353496835983485349 feet away where i wanted to place it, just like paths
-going to the island and when your driving away you see a shark
-my pockets are full

 

[Anjellie]

Here's mine
-When you are diving and the shadow thingie goes past the rope barrier :c
-Trying to pick something up but instead you kick the path away.
- When villagers suggest PWP's that I most definately won't use. (Yield sign.. really? xD)
- When you go inside a building and you see a tarantula or scorpion
- Only 10 pattern spaces! I only have more than one character just so I can have paths :c

 

[Blu Rose]

I hate it when...
- One miscounts the number of times a fish bites, and then loses it. It looks like it has bitten four times, but then you reel it in because it was actually three times.
- When my brother runs over flowers to test my patience.
- When you miss bees, I mean, why? Just why?
- "Your pockets are full," can I have one more space? It's not even bulging! All I have is a Shark, a Scorpion, a couch...
- Grammatical errors, like, seriously?
^This one is really common.
- In GC: I have to deliver a Pikachu. Okay, what if I want it? Why is it not a legitimate item?
- Nookington's requirements. What if I do not have Wireless-Fidelity (WEP)?
- And, lastly, grass wear. "I want to get there quickly, but I do not want my town to look horrid."

 

[Flop]

Here's mine
-When you are diving and the shadow thingie goes past the rope barrier :c

That is the WORST! XD

I HATE THISSS

 

[Anjellie]

That is the WORST! XD

xD Right? I'm surprised no one else has said that

Oh and also I hate it when you have 10 villagers and a dreamie is in the campsite.
I guess thats what everyone hates. XD

We need:

01. Credit card. Good for trades and all that where one doesn't have to go through dropping bells and constant retrieving of bells from ATM.

02. Zoning control. Mayor should be able to determine available lot space for houses. Let's say it would be three lots in addition to the combined total of human and animal residents for any given time. That a change can be made for a fee.

 

[emilythestrange]

~ constantly kicking up tiles, as my whole town is paved apart from my perfect apple patch
~ villagers moving anywhere they like
~ the silly little dance villagers do in front of you to try and get your attention
~ most people seem to have a town thats apple native, doesnt help sales in re-tail
~ the fact im only missing 1 fossil - the ichythosaurus skull which i simply cannot get anywhere

 

[Big Forum User]

The full mailbox noise
bedhead when you don't have too many bells
the resetti music
length of town tune
the fact that there are NO fish or shrimp or crabs or lobsters or things like that
pitfalls! They should be marked so you know but the villagers don't
the difficulty of hybrids
Gracie, Redd, and Katrina come at random times
Sarahah only does the main room
If you buy 2 dressers you only have the room of one

 

[abibae]

I think my biggest pet peeve is when I visit a dream town and the town has nothing going on in it. :c
I hate visiting towns that have no paths or flowers or anything, they are just really plain. I feel like it's a waste of 500 bells. I know that they must be starting out or something, but I never posted my dream town until I was moderately satisfied with it and I update it daily so that it'll show the newest improvements I made to my town. At least that way when people visit, my town is fun for them to visit.

Also:
-Losing Sharks
-Digging up bushes and trees on accident
-Bamboo that grows crazily
-Not having enough room in my pockets
-Also, I wish the basket that is for the island was in the Re-Tail shop so I wouldn't have to run back and forth to sell the bugs and fish I catch.

Haha, but these aren't things that necessarily drive me crazy, just thinks that are annoying sometimes.

 

[Cou]

Storage, always.

And the qr pattern changing :[

 

[Libra]

- Not having enough room in my pockets.
- Only having ten spots for designs (I don't want to create another character just because I'm missing one design).
- Not being able to place or pick up anything in my room when I'm having a visitor.
- Talking to a villager, getting pinged by another villager, spamming the A-button to speed through the conversation with the first villager and then being too late for the ping of the second villager (maybe it was a PWP suggestion!).

 

[Cudon]

Hmmm

- When you're trying to get a PWP and you waste a ping just to get asked a stupid question.
- 10 spots for designs
- Limited colors when it comes to designing, especially when the game lacks the color you need and you have to choose between two that look nothing like what you needed.
- Not being able to skip tutorial stuff in the beginning. We should have a choice :C
- Villagers moving in really far from the main area when cycling, especially when that villager is reserved.
