So, I e-mailed Nintendo....

[KingKombat]

Look if he wants to message them and ask about the feature then either support him or at least don't post semi aggressive remarks on why he shouldn't

I honestly don't know anybody who enjoys this feature either

In theory it's a good idea, real time grass erosion
but in practice it's lackluster. It would be nice if the grass grew back at a faster rate, or better yet have planting flowers and trees have a greater effect on the speed at which your grass grows

Nintendo easily has the resources to implement a patch allowing either of those options to happen

read this article, he has some good points

But how would a patch like that be released?

 

[mexiemo]

Animal crossing city folk supports patches

that's the main deal supposedly about wiiconnect24
and that's how all the Japanese kids got the Pikmin stuff, through and update

Interesting.
So, something like this is accomplishable!

If you don't like it, plant flowers. Lots and lots of flowers.

lol yes something like this is possible

hopefully they are willing to fix it
if not I'm sure some angry fanboy will start a petition soon :veryhappy:

I actually like this feature, since, if you're careful, you can make neat patches connecting to important locations in your town. This is probably most useful for visitors on Wi-Fi to follow or something. On the other hand, it grows back too slowly. I don't really want them to get rid of it, I just want them to speed up the growth of the grass.

 

[mexiemo]

that's a good point,

Like I said in the interview they said that at the end of each day the grass grows back jsut a lil bit

but what they should have said was NOT AT ALL

this feature could actually be nice....if the grass grew back at the same rate you can run over it

 

[Amped]

I would be nice if like once a month, it would completely grow back.

 

[Silverstorms]

Grass should grow back a lot faster. Maybe not as fast as it disappears, but faster.

 

[Havanacus]

Am I right in thinking it doesn't erode at all if you only walk?...

 

[mexiemo]

yes I think that if you walk everywhere it either doesn't erode at all or it erodes way slower

 

[Tyeforce]

*facepalm*

Nintendo isn't gonna care about you complaining about a minor detail in a game...

 

[mexiemo]

well that's not always true

if anything Nintendo is the most caring out of the big three

I'd say his chances of getting a reply arn't that bad

 

[Joe]

No offense, But you're not going to get a reply back

 

[Kyle]

BBBAAAAWWWWWWWWWWW!
PROTIP: Plant more trees or have more patterns on the ground, nobody will notice.
Personally, I don't care if I barely have grass on my ground.

 

[Freddy Fro]

Even if he did get a reply, it's not like they can just give us an update taking that specific detail out of the game without getting those who actually like the grass getting thin mad. It's a lose/lose situation. Your only hope would be to complain about it enough that for the next game it won't be there. ;D

Fro~

 

[Erica]

xD
Agreed.

 

[Vivi]

And I asked them why they added the whole grass wearing away thing and that it was making my town look horrible. Has any one else e-mailed them about this? If you haven't and you don't like the grass thing, you should.

so wat did they say???

I havn't go an e-mail back from them, but when I do, I will post the response here.

 

[Vivi]

Nintendo of America didn't make that part of the game, so....

Oh, I didn't realize that, lol
