Small but, useful QoL update?

[TheRevienne]

So, I was waking up our favourite pirate on my beach when I got thinking, 'oh he'll send me something tomorrow'.

Then that led me to think;


'Wouldn't it be great if we got post twice a day like we used to?'


For those who are new to the series or forgot, we used to get mail at 9 am and 5 pm on New Leaf, and the other games too, correct me if I'm wrong, and I know people are probably sick of people comparing New Horizons to New Leaf, and there's plenty of other QoL changes which need to happen too, but whether Nintendo implements them or not is another matter.

I know it's been asked loads on here, but what QoL changes would you like to see?

Personally, I'd like:

- Craft multiple items at once, and use the materials in your storage for crafting,
- Easier and smoother multiplayer, too much waffle,
- Better interactions/more interaction with NPCs, so Mabel and Sable wandering around after closing etc
- Mail delivered twice a day.

How about you? What do you want to see?

If the process of incoming visitors arriving on the island could happen as a background activity, that'd be awesome.

Selecting the quantity of an item you want to buy or craft, also buy everything you want at once at ables'. Also the Dodo's dialogue could be simplified.

New reaction: dropkick villagers, NPCs and friends outta the way.

Villager gifts a baby romper? Dropkick them.
Mabel asks if you want to use the fitting room for the 3rd time? Dropkick her.
Orville asks if you're all set for takeoff? Dropkick him.
Friend takes too long on island. Dropkick them.

If we started getting mail twice a day, that would open doors for the pelicans I think. Pete for sure. Maybe we'd see him walking around like in NL! Also, if they're upgrading mail they may as well introduce a way to save our mail. I'm a fan of new buildings, but I understand not everyone wants a post office.

Just some easy way to remove villagers clothing from their closest is the only QOL I truly want. Made nooby mistake early on in the game.....

Was it 9am? I thought it was the beginning of the day.

If I'm not mistaken, we also got mail twice a day in Wild World. I remember racing to the catalog machine to get my orders in

We should be able to play while the visitor is doing the fly over. Nothing is saving so there's no need to force us to wait for the "come to play" screen.

Yeah! I googled it to make sure what game it was in and it said 9am and 5pm :'D I was the exact same though rushing to order stuff in. Such a pain having to wait till the next day, and only be able to order 5 things with NH. If it was 5 things, for morning and then 5 for afternoon, that could work

Yes! I love this, so many NPCs from the old games aren't included in NH, there's the super popular ones like Brewster that people want back, but I kinda want side eyeing, sarcastic Phyllis back! Plus Pete and Pelly's relationship was super cute. They could have a little kiosk in the airport, kinda like a duty free shop or something like in proper airports, where you can buy letter paper, and send and save them, then have seasonal paper too, kinda like the wallpaper and tool cabinet in Nooks

 

[Mr.Fox]

I do miss the twice a day mail...I don't like having to TT if I need something ordered right away.

 

[Xara]

i genuinely just want an “add to cart” option at able’s. i’m in the process of expanding my clothing catalog and having to buy one item at a time is honestly way more tedious than it should be. >_<

 

[Zeturic]

Aside from stuff already mentioned:

Move the option to use a NMT from the second option to the first option so you can just mash A to use them instead of getting stuck in the visit friend islands dialogue.

You should be able to run with the L-button, so we can run one-handed. I used this all the time in New Leaf and it still annoys me that I can't do it in New Horizons.

1. Being about to bulk print multiple NMT.

2. Crafting is not a bad implement, per se, I noticed a lot of people are not a fan of this mechanic, and I can see why. I think it needs a few QoL improvements.
* I think we should be able to bulk craft.
* We should be able to pull the materials from our storage without having to go back and forth to get them/put them back.
* We should be able to craft prerequisite items while we are crafting the main item, so it will all be crafted in on go (e.g. you need to craft a new fishing rod, so you can press a button that will bring up the materials for the prerequisite item, which is a flimsy fishing rod. The branches will be opened under the "Flimsy Fishing Rod" on the list. Press the button to view the materials for the flimsy fishing rod and BOOM! You can craft the "pretty good" one all in one go.

Right now I'd really love to be able to be able to cross-reference and sell from your home storage when at the drop-off box...
@__@ Buying so much clothes for my catalog from Able's has my storage ridiculous and it's tiring running back and forth to sell.

 

[Shawna]

I just want to say, I am so sorry for posting three times in a row. I kept pressing post without knowing that it sent. My Internet is crap right now thanks to the weather conditions were currently dealing with.

Above all else, this is the thing that drives me the most insane. It is genuinely tedious and not fun to go through buying every variation. I have wartime PTSD flashbacks of having friends come over and them spending FIFTEEN MINUTES in ables to buy everything.

 

[daffodilcrossing]

I’ve been saying that about the NPC’s for so long! I’m glad someone else thinks so. Idk to me it’s sad that you can only chat with NPCs about business and that’s it:/ I wanna talk to everyone about their days and I feel like it’ll help make it seem like the NPCs have a life outside of work lol, like when I’m NL you could see them at the cafe. I miss the pelicans I wish we had pete walking around delivering the mail again. Ans I miss Phineas I liked getting badges from him. I get now that the nook miles points system means he would be here like every day, but I feel like they could’ve kept him and the CAT machine like we had after the update in NL, the machine for everyday stuff and Phineas for more long term goals

Do you have the Nintendo app? Just look up the items in your catalog before you buy. Never buy another duplicate.

It's not about buying duplicates; I do use a tracker to buy only things I haven't yet...it's just buying one of each of every color then having to sell them to make storage room (adds up quickly). Factoring how tedious it is buying multiple things in Able's dressing room, then running to your house to pull it all from storage, then running back to nook's to sell it for space...just annoying process.
Beyond just clothes too, it would be nice to directly sell from your home storage in general.

 

[arikins]

i agree, multiplayer should be smoother. i just do so many trades a day and sitting through the airplane overview is such a chore. even if they cut just that out it would be better. and i would LOVE to see mable and sable wandering around after closing ! maybe even blathers coming out once in a while to run away from bugs look at fish !

 

[Marshmallows]

I would like ordinances to come back, but with a new "No New Flowers" option. I don't want to have to pave everything to keep flowers from spreading.

Also would be nice for the megaphone to make a comeback for searching for villagers. Even better if it works to track visiting npcs.


And a new unbreakable set of tools would be great.
