Getting sick if it snowing every day. Because that means I'll be digging up a bunch of unwanted flowers the next day.

when its snowing it looks beautiful and i love the little festive noises added to the music, but then i remember that ill have like 50 new flowers and it ruins it

This is me!!! I love the snow so much... But it comes at such a price

I feel like after a month of digging up flowers I'll be completely over it and just let them spread again like I did before my mass cull. That was only like a week ago too. I can't even fathom doing the transparent pattern trick because I have so many scattered flowers it'll kill me and my town will sound like plastic when I run LOL

I know

I wish they'd drastically reduce the flower spawn rate from rain and snow. Especially snow since it seems to snow every second day on my island! It really does ruin the experience somewhat.

Trying going in and out of a building, check for beetle, repeat. I scared off about half a dozen before I got one, but that method got them to spawn in a reasonable amount of time.

And flower whack-a-mole is my life now.

Why is Sable still going on about sunny weather and making shorter sleeves in the dead of winter

It's not in the update yet

Oh my goodness yes. I knew I was forgetting something. It’s ridiculous that you need online play to get all the fruits. The game was literally on about how amazing the ~mystery islands~ were only for the islands to have one other kind of fruit? And I think before Leif was introduced you needed online to get different flower types, too.

It’s frustrating because Animal Crossing is already a social game. If people want to trade online they will - Nintendo didn’t need to add in these exclusive items. There would’ve already been people who would play online! Hiding fruit, flowers, custom designs, and furniture behind a pay wall (for an already expensive game!) is frustrating. When I didn’t have an online membership Animal Crossing was such a different experience :/

Nintendo is just reaching for more money at this point. Locking stuff behind online is essentially pay2play. You can't even have another island unless you're willing to fork out enough cash for an entire system.

Yeah, I remember posts with people hoping this game doesn't go the way of paid DLC, but I don't think what it's doing is really all that different. I'm not blaming Nintendo for being a business, but I really don't think all this locking is necessary to keep them afloat lol. People will use Online regardless, they don't have to ruin it for those who don't want to.

i always saw that people thought they were going to go paid dlc because they list the current updates as free, however i think they do that because if they didnt, surely a lot of people would be asking if its free or not

but yeah i agree that what theyre doing isnt too different, as theyre holding stuff back until every couple months to drop a little content to keep people coming back and then not doing anything. i really wish the updates had a bit more stuff tbh because now when i see "four years of updates planned" i really think they made them small just to string people along

Yeah it can be a bit frustrating waiting months for new content that was already in New Leaf. I actually don't mind it all that much though, it does give me things to look forward to, and also the only feature I'd like to make a return fast is Tortimer's mini game island! A lot of the time I find myself wanting to play more but I don't feel like doing the usual chores.

By the way I wanna say that I'm glad that this forum is kind, before I joined I saw someone talking about how they didn't like item locking on Reddit and they were being downvoted and insulted and it was awful! I'm sure that was an isolated incident but made me scared to ever mention it. I'm glad it's civil here haha.

Reddit is a cyst pool. Just like tumblr and twitter. They're all essentially echo-chambers. I don't mind the wait either and it is kind of cool to see what kind of content they bring, but the last update was lackluster. The holidays were a given so the hair and extra emotions are cool, but you really can't get a lot of mileage out of those.

 

[Airysuit]

I want info signs back at the museum

I want to order more than 5 items a day

I want to be able to write letters without immediately sending it. WHY. IS. THIS. NOT. A. THING.

Man, controller hypersensitivity is super-duper fun when riverscaping. Why yes, broken controller, Matty DID want to place a water tile in the exact opposite direction he was facing

I'd also like to go back to receiving mail twice a day. 5am/5pm

To be honest i do something real bad which is compare NH to NL whoch are not comparable even though they belong to the same franchise, they where develop with different technologies and in different time periods so ultimately they are different games. but i guess i do compare it with it since its with i am familiarized with so to say.

so once this said for me im just hoping for more in-depth gameplay and inmersion such as more personalized and more particular personalities and dialogues for each villager, in order to create unique relations between villagers and my character as well as create unique moments .
I am also hoping for big upgrades to NCP such as Nooks cranny, able sister, a re-vamp of poor Label! And most importantly for me, bring Brewster back bahhahaha.

Another important aspect for me is to instead of getting stuck with the past i want more innovation in regards of gameplay dynamics, harvesting pumpkins was a good start ! As it was something new ! This is the kind of thing i am hoping for, boldness, uniqueness, personalization, variations etc

 

[PhantomSavage]

I just wanna be able to talk to my villagers again. New Leaf was my first AC game and sure, that game's dialogue was dumbed down in comparison to previous games but it was nowhere as bad as in NH. It barley took me around a month of playing until I basically knew all the dialogue my villagers can say which is really sad when it took months of playing daily for me to get tired of my NL villagers. Sometimes I'll walk up to a villager and they'll only say something like "Let's have fun today!" like..what? How was that a conversation?

It's also pretty annoying when you'll barley talk to a villager twice in one day and they'll say "Does it seem like I'm seeing a lot of you today?" when this should only come up after talking to them several times. The villagers are really more like little moving decorations on your island than actual villagers now that they don't even ask for you to do little tasks like grab them fruit now. It's super rare for a villager to ask to play treasure hunt but they love to buy and sell stuff off you :/ I just hope that one day there will be a big dialogue update in the near future. I've noticed that with just about every update theres little bits of dialogue added but nowhere near the amount that there was in previous entries.

this!!! i remember when i was so excited to start talking to my villagers when i first started nh and so i talked to them multiple times and got "is this island not big enough for both of us" or something like that the third time i talked to someone and it kind of put me off of talking to them because i thought they hated that i was talking to them

 

[Berrymia]

I’m once again super annoyed that we can store bugs, fish, huge items and literally everything BUT flowers, bushes and trees. WHY NINTENDO, WHYYYY

i still dont get why nintendo hasnt done anything about card storage. like they literally can just give us a little card box even to just put cards in and itd be way better than just not being able to store them at all. why force us to get diys we already have from villagers and have no way to store them??

 

[iamjohnporter67]

The way you get DIYS in this game sucks because with seasonal diys you can on;y get them from balloon gifts only. Why not get them from our villagers crafting or the diy bottles? The Halloween Event did the DIYs really well!
