why do they decide to make a resource you need scarcer than the others?? it used to happen to me with regular wood and now i get barely any gold ornaments. so far today i have gotten six blue ones, five red ones, and one gold!

Yeah, like what do they expect us to do with all those extra red and blue ones? There's only one DIY that doesn't use gold but even if we made a bunch of illuminated snowflakes we'll still have a ton of red ornaments left. All we can do is sell them so I don't even get the point of making the spawn rates different.

Well at least they spawn easier than the acorns and pinecones, I don't want to complain too much lol.

I am so fed up of harvesting balloons for 1+ hours a night and only getting one or two DIY recipes. Why do they make it so hard? Why can't we just get festive recipes from villagers or some other way than rubbish unreliable RNG. Seasonal recipes shouldn't be such a chore to get. (and yes I know it's a common complaint but I'm just so fed up, I think I only have 2 or 3 recipes after almost 20 days of grinding!)

I'm sad that we can't do diagonal waterfalls D;

I think they forgot to update dialogue for winter, that would explain Sable still talking about sun and shorter sleeves as well

Glad to help! I'm not sure why it all has to be so specific but I'm glad people figured it out

It's such an oversight. I like the game, but it disappoints me on many levels. Something like changing dialouge should had been a thing during the Halloween/JingleTurkey updates. You can't tell me that it wouldn't be possible to make this minor change with the updates. They've had enough time to do this right.

Nothing about this game interests me all that much right now. All I am doing daily is making a snowman to get the DIY. I did a Xmas themed area, but it'll be gutted in about a week. It's so weird that they have us grind for the DIY and by the time we get it all, it's almost too late to even use it. It's like they expect us to grind and use it for next Xmas. Bruh come on.

The 15th for decorations is too late. I had a tree and lights on my house in the beginning of December. That's when we should had been able to start getting the stuff. The way they're doing things, it's like they expect us to cheat to put it up sooner or just admit defeat and not bother decorating until all the holidays come out next year.

I like the game, I really do, but it feels more like a spin-off where decorating outside is the main focus and everything else is put on the backburner. Sort of like HHD, but it's HHD2.

This annoys me so much. I managed to grind out all the balloon DIYs this year, so yay, at least I'll be able to use them next year (assuming they don't add a huge set of new ones I decide I need first), but yeah, by the time you get all them, it's too late to actually decorate for the season you're in. Granted, they can't do anything about the fact that Christmas is in December, but it really annoyed me that they chose to limit most of the fall DIYs to November, the last month of fall.

I completely agree. I hate that we get DIYs so late! And they’ll probably save the really cool decorations for Toy Day, like they did with Halloween. It doesn’t make any sense to me why we couldn’t start decorating for Christmas at the beginning of December. Or at least on the 11th when the snow came? Sure it’s only a couple of days difference but idk. If the snowmen are available until February (I think?) then why did we get to start building them before making Christmas decorations?

And getting DIYs is such a pain. I can’t imagine how really casual players who only play the game for a half an hour-an hour each day are finding any DIYs with the spawn rate.

I’d love some new dialogue too! You’re right - if they’re going to insist on adding holidays in via updates the updates should be well rounded. Giving us new dialogue would be so nice.

one thing im confused about is that one time, about a month ago i talked to a villager sitting on the green bench that appears outside of resident services and they actually went "oh do you need me to get up? hold on!" and actually got up! i was like "oh my gosh this will make giving gifts easier!" and then it never happened again. where did it go????

also because of how late the diys are, i forgot that christmas is now 5 days away. it feels like the beginning of december

i thought this is what they were going to do because to me it only makes sense. why arent my villagers talking more about the snow and snowflakes and how cold it is? instead we get like three new lines about toy day for everyone

This only happens if you have a delivery for them or have a lost and found item that you need to give. Otherwise they will never stand up. At least they did this, so we didn't have to push them to get up.

oh, gotta admit im quite disappointed lol

I will admit, them sitting anywhere does bother me. I think it's cute if they do it underneath a tree, by a river bed, ect, but the fact that they lazily programmed them to do it anywhere just detracts from what could be a cute feature. It couldn't be that hard to have a command/code like 'if seat is nearby, do not use sit command'

I had just finished making a big garden (of all the different hybrids) and in the middle was a pool with a fountain/benches. What does Punchy do when I drop the last bench? Walk right up to it and 'sit down' It made me die a little inside and the immersion of the game was lost.

I've designed 5 rooms I absolutely adore, and... I've run out of furniture for the 6th
It's just a small 6x6 room but I can't find any furniture I want to use anymore
I've catalogued every set in the game but they just don't appeal to me. I don't like the diner set, or the cute set :/ I've used antique already

I’m here to rant about clothes that are a slightly different shade of colour from each other.

I’m so bummed that the white of the Santa hat is different that the white on my red poncho dress & little Pom Pom boots.

I run into similar issues with the various shades of pink, yellow, etc etc. It feels like some items don’t have any matching counterpart because the shade is just a touch off from the rest.

I do love how we have so much more clothing in this game though! I find myself wearing a lot pieces from the Able Sisters vs custom designs which is the opposite of how I was in New Leaf.

 

[-Blue-]

I'm honestly surprised it's been about 9-10 months since this game came out and there isn't or never will be a patch to show us the status of our tools. Like why is this not a thing when the normal ax in NL showed signs of wear with crack marks? It had 3 stages of cracks and you kind of knew when it would shatter. Here it's like 'Let's see if this swing breaks it.'

yesss i have this issue too!!!! i try to make a cute outfit but all the pieces are like different shades of a color and it just looks jank. i agree that the clothing in the game is super nice and i love a lot of pieces from it, but i wish they made more stuff match

im getting tired of that and not being able to bulk craft/buy things. its like they want us to struggle and get frustrated

Right!!! I'll buy things from the Able Sisters with the intention of matching it with something I already own only to get home and discover the pieces aren't actually the same colour. Always a bummer At least my avatar on here gets to wear the poncho coat with the santa hat, lol.

I agree with your second bit as well! I hate, hate, hate, that I can't bulk buy customization kits. Why is the max amount I can buy 5 when a good chunk of furniture needs 7 kits to customize their colour? Buying bushes from Leif every time new ones come in season is a pain too. I don't know why I can't choose the amount of things I want to buy or craft.

I feel like I've been in the rant thread so much lately. I really do love New Horizons!! I play it every day there's just some bits that really grind my gears.

UGH i feel this

 

[SlEEPYTEARRS]

is it just me, or would anyone else be more willing to giveaway diys if they just gave us a way to store them? i want to giveaway all my extra diys i get, but i end up selling them because i dont want them to take up space on my island

I find it weird that furniture pieces take so many kits to customise, like I just feel that most of them should be 1 and the bigger things should be like, 3 or something? 7 is just so much and they're not that cheap either. Sometimes all customising does is add a sticker so it makes no sense why it takes so many kits.

Also I wish we could store bushes. If I decided to get rid of my holly bushes after winter I don't like that I have to throw them out then buy new ones next season. I'll probably just keep them there.

I also have random bushes in my town that I planted before I even designed it, and I don't want to get rid of them in case I want them back for something and Leif isn't selling them.

And I hoarded some hybrid flowers behind my museum because they don't look good with my other flowers, but I still want to keep them because they're rare or pretty on their own

Long story short I wish we could store plants.

 

[naviwing]

I want... to store... DIYs. Hear my fondest wish, Nintendo along with a bunch of other stuff that would just make quality of life experience in this game so much better
