I think you need to do the basic before you do the secret one.Doing the turkey day event and didn't realize the secret ingredient DiY thing and I've done 2/4 recipes without the secret ingredient.

I still don't understand why the villagers still say the same thing after every other event is over. They talk like robots. I mean whoever at the development team wrote these villager dialogues just got too lazy.

Oh god I hate the Balloon Gifts so much. Whoever thought this would be a good idea to put seasonal diys in Balloon gifts only should be fired.Maple season is almost over right? I haven't gotten a single maple DIYI've spent hours farming and all I managed was a mush table. Why did they make this so hard? To force people to trade? Hopefully they'll still be available next year.

Isometric Exercise!
Here to rant about the RNG.
I farm balloons, and the only mush diy I’ve gotten is a mush partition and I’ve gotten NO maple DIYs. Bells, bells, iron, clay, repeat.
Come Turkey Day, I needed the Dungeness crab for a secret ingredient. 2 hours later, I had to give up because I hadn’t caught a SINGLE CRAB. Then, I needed the most common fish ever for the next recipe - Sea Bass. Well, Nintendo must have jacked the RNG to make fun of us because I spent 20 minutes fishing and I think I caught like 7 Olive Flounders, which are rare-ish before I got a sea bass. Like bruh, the RNG needs to be fixed because I don’t have 12 hours a day to pour into my island just to feel as accomplished as all the other people who somehow have way more luck.. and I’d rather not spend the what 100 NMT to get a single maple diy of Nookazon..

Nookazon is like the only thing I use to get those seasonal DIYS. It was driving me nuts.
Rant about the trading of the AC community, everything feels like an ungodly amount of overpriced sometimes, and the inflation on some of the markets is just so awful and gross. It feels like its encouraging everyone to have to do everything on their own if they're not rich in game or outside of it. The DIYs are impossible to get and sometimes you miss them and then poof, you need to spend 100NMTs for a Mush Lamp DIY. You want a stack of acorns? Another 50NMT. A statue for your museum? 200NMT.
It's so bewildering that people just continue to pour NMTs into this sort of economy rather than encouraging an alternative. The fact that the moderators in some communities just let things be traded for way too much and not say a word about it. I just want to have nice things like the rest of them, but I either have to do it myself, rely on (awful) RNG luck, or spend all the NMT I own for one thing.

This is so relatable, I think the RNG aspect of this game needs to be revised! Like they need to implement rules in the code that prevent the RNG from completely running wild. Nobody should have to wait more than 2 hours to catch a crab for an event. They should have made it so that if you don't have it by the 20th creature or whatever you get one guaranteed.
The campsite is also a good example of RNG gone wrong. If you have bad luck you can be stuck there for hours and hours. It's like a nightmare tent.
And of course seasonal DIYs which I don't even want to talk about
Good lord, the RNG during Turkey Day was a fricking nightmare. I went through 7 fishing rods in my hunt for a barred knifejaw, but I gave up eventually
Very annoying not to be able to finish of an event properly, especially because it's all dependent on luck instead of skill

I feel frustrated that people are complaining over Turkey Day because they feel it wasn't good enough or did enough. No, that's not it. I feel frustrated because I feel people have unreasonable expectations for holidays and I dread Toy Day coming up because everyone will complain about it.
I want to say that I understand why people feel upset over Turkey Day, but I really don't. You don't even have to dive yourself to get the crab. You just have to help your villager neighbors.
I feel like nobody ever complained over New Leaf's holidays and they were very, very similar to the current holidays.

Ooh, I only ever got pumpkins from my villagers so I kind of figured it was going to be a low chance of them giving you the ingredient you were after. I didn't actually find out though since I didn't have too much trouble finding them myself.
It is nice they made that the secondary option, and that they made the recipes all available to buy the day after. I wish they were even half this kind with the balloon DIYs!
I think the reason people are so frustrated, myself included, was because of how monotonous the event got when finding ingredients, and that’s largely down to the god awful RNG this game has.
I enjoyed the event as a whole, but I didn’t enjoy spending 3hr diving for that stupid crab. And I also didn’t enjoy hunting down horse mackerel after bloody horse mackerel to trade with my villagers for ingredients I didn’t even need for any of the dishes.
i wish that we could buy everything in one go at able's. i have to go in and out of the dressing room like 5 times if i want one of every color or a shirt AND a dress. 
are there no sharks or beetles (on trees) in this game? i have been playing for a month and no dice!!
where is brewster? :-(
the dialogue really isn't fun, i don't feel like i'm getting to know the characters or actually build relationships with them. very surface level. zell was one of my favorite villagers in new leaf and he is so one-dimensional in this game! especially when i somehow have 3 characters with his same personality. :-/ i went back to playing wild world because the interactions and dialogue there is so much more rewarding.
where is gracie? :-/
i miss going to shampoodle's!
i wish there was less emphasis on trading. i didn't know that the items you get in nook miles is different from others and that there are more variations. if you don't have friends with the game, it is literally impossible to get different colors. :-/ i was shocked when i found out that visiting friends costs real money.
it's disappointing when i feel like the whole point of animal crossing is to build relationships with your villagers and it feels like it goes downhill with every version.

Sharks and beetles are in the game but they mostly appear in the summer (North Hemisphere) so you might have missed them.
I've complained about this a few times on the forums but I'm really annoyed that Mush DIY only come from balloons. I work full time! I don't want to spend all my free time, which is like four hours a night, running up and down the beach looking for balloons and getting clay and bells!

But hasn't Animal Crossing always been a bit monotonous with the holidays? This is only my second game, but in New Leaf it was complete RNG with what type of furniture you got as a reward on some holidays. You had to play a lot to get a whole set of special furniture from the special characters. This is the first game I've actually been able to complete furniture sets because they are easier to get.
To me it was frustrating because I worked 10 hours that day, and I thought 2 hours would be enough to finish the event, but it wasn't...
I did try to get ingredients with villagers, but all they ever gave me were dabs, mushrooms and pumpkins. I felt the event just relies to much on luck, instead of skill or effort.

Really wasn’t a fan of the Turkey Day items. I think the event was great though! If anything I would have liked it to have lasted a little longer. I don’t like how serious the Turkey Day furniture looks, I much prefer a more playful Thanksgiving aesthetic
I miss town ordinances.
I find myself playing AC at night a lot more than I thought I would- and I hate turning on my system only to realize Able Sister's and Nook's Cranny are closed. Just one more hour would be amazing ;n;

i agree, but i think there are many lovely members on this site who run shops and charge very reasonably for the in-game items/DIYs/Bells. Most of them do look for TBTs in exchange though but considering you can get TBTs just by posting rather than grinding hours and hours for the NMTs, i think it's quite reasonable. If you do want to trade outside of the TBT community, you can also trade TBT for NMTs.
Yeah this bothered me from day 1. They finally gave us some of the emotions the villagers have been doing since the beginning. Like sitting down, working out, doing yoga.
But there are still some of the emotion/animations from day 1 that we haven't gotten like dumb-bells, zooming around like airplanes, reading books, sweeping, singing, rocking their head/dancing to music. I feel they should had given all of those to us in the emote package. Instead they (probably) broke it up to emote package 1 and emote package 2. It's not like this stuff has to be worked in since the villagers have been doing it since the beginning. So they're just milking it out.
