So I paid for a switch, the game, a few extras, and a nintendo online subscription, yet I can't EVER get qr codes because all I have is a mobile phone and no computer.

My mobile phone can't be the scanner AND the screen I need to scan.
This is utter bull****!

Why do I need THREE BLOODY DEVICES to get a qr code!

I've paid enough for this.
And then some. :-/

I feel this. I had to send qr codes to my husband's phone to scan them into the app, to download in the game. They really made it awkward and complicated.

But!! I did notice they've improved the app and now gives a choice between using your camera or opening an image. So if you have a picture of the qr code, you can choose to open the picture with the app and it will read it somehow.
 
i wish there was a less tedious way to get rid of a bunch of paths BUT ALSO

i haaaate when i press a dialogue option by accident and then i have to start up the conversation again whereas in new leaf they would be like "is there anything else i can help you with then" instead of just exiting out of the conversation.

I tried it. I converted an image to qr, took a screenshot of my qr code, and the nintendo app gave me the option to open a qr file from my phone.

"This qr is not the correct format".

I tried jpg, png, it won't let me do it, and I don't know what other format there is.

Edit. Finally found a site that converts the image to a readable format, though I can't put my name on my own design or even edit it. :(

Well, I had no idea the entire event tonight revolved solely around giving out candy.

Guess who only bought, like, 7 candies total this month, not thinking they'd be mandatory to obtain any prizes? 🙃

I wish they'd told me that in advance, because now I'm gonna get nothing.

The event's happening so I assume it's safe to write this, but just in case:
If you give Jack two candy, he'll give you his outfit, which allows you to scare all ten villagers, who will each give one piece. Give two candy to a secondary character on your island and they can repeat the process for more candy pieces, which can then be dropped somewhere and picked up by your main character.
Yeah, it's cool at first but then you notice how little there is outside of getting Halloween stuff, candy, and lollipops... I think the lollipops are kinda cute so I kept some of them after seemingly obtaining everything.

I swear the RNG in this game is something entirely rant-able on its own. I've played every single day in October and I haven't had a single meteor shower.

Ugh... That reminds me, MeteoNook claims my island is supposed to have shooting stars today but I assume Halloween is overriding the intended weather as none appeared when it said. There's something to rant about; Why do holidays and events have to force their own weather like that?

I only had 8 candies on my second island, and I only have 2 villagers. I got all the Halloween specific items and diys by giving a candy to the one villager who was outside and to Jack, and then going to the other villager who was in his house and getting another piece of candy.
 
I know this is the rant thread and all, but Halloween was exactly like this in NL. This one was pretty nice. You weren't forced to give out candy and you could avoid talking to them. You couldn't do that in NL (or the other games?) And the tricks don't steal clothes/items in your pockets like in NL where you had to remove all your clothes and pocket space to be sure nothing of value was lost.

All in all, I feel like this one was better handled. Still a shame the creepy series was removed. I did find it cool how you could trick the villagers into thinking you are Jack, but I don't remember if you could do that in NL or not. I actually enjoyed this one and I wasn't sure what to expect with how most of the events were handled and or dragged on forever.

I particularly liked not having to search for Jack every time I wanted to give him candy. This event took me about 20 minutes, when in NL it took me hours!
 
OMG I’m so irked, I have 4 fish and sea creatures left and my brain isn’t braining to let me figure out which ones I’m missing 😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬

I've given up on diving. I don't care. Between our character's turtle slow swimming and constantly getting the creatures I already have. It's just beyond annoying now and I've had ENOUGH. :mad:

This seems like the opposite opinion of some of you, but here goes nothin

I actually wish the Halloween event may have lasted a bit longer or had more to it. There was such a big build up, and maybe there wasn't anything that would have lived up to my expectations lol

The mole cricket noise is very annoying and they are super gross. Yuck yuck yuck. I think I may dislike them even more than the scorpion (which keeps running away from me) and tarantula.

I'm so sick of that puke-green we've had since September. In real life, I'm experiencing the most marvelous autumn-colours outside! When is it going to change in-game already?
Click to expand...

I agree 100%. In my real life neighborhood, which has temperate climate autumn at the moment, the grass is still green and the trees are lovely shades of yellow, orange, and red. I don't know where the game developers got this idea that autumn grass is a hideous color. Eventually it will turn a brownish color but it's not that gross yellow color ever, except maybe when the snow first melts at the end of winter.

It’s annoying to get fall DIYs from balloons. I’ve been running up and down the beach for balloons for an hour and all of the balloons I did manage to find were not DIYs. Why not just let us get one per day from villager crafting like the Halloween ones...

This 100%. To add salt to the wound, farming balloons isn't even an activity we can do with friends...
 
can we all just take a moment to talk about the wet suit issue? it literally stops you from doing anything - you can't add it to an outfit slot on a wand, you can't wear it while going into the able's change room, etc. it's kind of a pain. i thought i was being super smart, by having my wet suit and 'swimming' gear on all the time under my transformation outfit, so that when i want to go swimming i can just pull the outfit off and bam, i'm ready to go and can jump in all easy peasy. but now it's starting to be more of hassle than just carrying my wet suit around and putting it on whenever i need to go diving.

it wouldn't be that bad if you could preview clothes you recieve without having to take off your transformation outfit, as well. like if it would just automatically take you out of the outfit selected, and put on the shirt / dress / pants / accessory / etc., by itself.

first world animal crossing problems, i know. it really isn't that big of a deal, i just wish it was a smoother process.
 
I'm livid right now. I blew 55k nook miles on NMTs and didn't find one dreamie, and now today Tex has plopped his ugly butt into my empty slot.

And there's no way to undo it. 🙃

I wouldn't normally be so upset over this, but penguin villagers have always been rude to me for some reason (looking at you, Flo, who laughed when I got stung by wasps) and I'm not looking forward to having that again.

Does anyone else just want to scream when this happens??? Someone always moves in the very next day. I have one day to blow all my NMs on tickets and find absolutely no one, and then I'm stuck with someone random, who is almost always unpleasant.

literally all of my villagers were basically like that for me - i put down all the plots in a rush and i had no idea if i didn't get the villagers myself to move in, that they'd just fill in randomly. so my entire island is basically filled with a bunch of randoms that i'm attempting to get portraits from before i whisk them away to go cause havoc somewhere else.

i feel your pain. maybe not about the loss of the tickets, but.. definitely with getting stuck with some villagers you want nothing to do with.

hopefully your new penguin neighbour wont be such a jerk <3 fingers crossed for you.

You know what?

I'm going back to New Leaf.

It has problems, yeah, but it wasn't stressful and tiring like New Horizons is.

I need a break. New Leaf seems like a nice way to do that.
