i think thats why i was so disappointed with the update because valentines day means a lot to me and i was hoping for just something small and cute, not ordering items every day and thats it

Even though those holidays were small in NL they were still acknowledged and felt real enough. Having everything just be on a phone feels artificial and empty.

Oh wow, I never noticed it made a cheer sound! And I toasted so many times taking photos during New Year's Eve.

Also I didn't think this was a major deal but since people are bringing things up, I thought it was funny when you run and then shake the maracas, it instantly stops you, like you don't stop running normally, your animation frame just goes to "standing" frame and it looks a little weird lol. Also I think it would have been cute to shake while you run!

I mean, I think it did. I'll have to go back, but maybe it didn't. But if it did, that's why I found it weird why they could do it for the cider but not the megaphone.

And yeah I feel like we are picking at the stuff, but we also waited from November until now for this latest update. It was small and that was disappointing, but we accepted it. But now the stuff they did do is half-done so there's not many excuses for them. Like why did it take them until now to give Pasacal the mermaid fence diy? Why not in Summer? Why a half year ago when everyone probably could had used it when they were in a decorating craze with the mermaid stuff?

I wanted a chocolate cake from mom and some hot cocoa at brewsters. Maybe the bff villagers giving choco candy like in older games...
At least it's furniture (albeit tedious to get furniture) something the game sorely lacks...

It's kind of hard to see sea creatures when you're swimming at night underwater. It's black on very dark blue. Sometimes I have to turn my brightness all the way up to see them.

i remember trying to get the sea creatures that only come out late at night and i was constantly going "where they at tho?" because i just couldnt see anything

So I just tested the megaphone out as I haven't had the time to really play the game. Everyone kept saying that the megaphone didn't have any animation or noise, but that's not true. It does have the cheering animation and a lot noise/energy to go with it. Sure it's not the same as the megaphone from NL, but it's called the cheer megaphone.

I get that it's not as great as it was in NL, but I was led to believe it didn't do anything and was a static tool from the way everyone commented about it not doing anything and not having any animation to it.

It's not exactly a useful item though.

I'd give up any of the crap items they keep dumping on us, just for the NL bread or veggie basket.

i really do love the animation, i think its ultra cute, i just wish the villagers had some reaction to it lol

True. I also tested out the beans and it's kind of a shame that it doesn't have the sprinkle animation/SE when they hit the ground. And if you threw it in the river it would ripple/plunk the water. The flowers react to it still, but it's kind of hit and miss when its in their hitbox area lol

i mean.. we could argue about basically every item that's in NH that doesn't have a real "purpose" and is technically useless. like the nintendo switch items they gave us; they don't do anything, there's no mini games, etc. i don't even think they're interacted with when touched in game either, like other items that have some sort of animation.

just because an item isn't "useful" doesn't mean it still can't be appreciated. i love the maracas and i can't stop shaking them aimlessly. maybe that says more about me, though.

Doesn't the Switch make the clicking soundeffect though? I mean it's not much, but it is still something.

i really love the new megaphone, especially the sparkly one, ever since i got it ive been carrying it around lol

if it does, my sound has just never been high enough to hear it - it still doesn't go far in the line of "usefulness" though i still have my switch ready to decorate my house, though, regardless of what it does in game or doesn't do.

i do appreciate the little things that are added into everything however, no matter how little they may be.

 

[meggiewes]

A part of me is a little bit sad that the maracas don't do a fast shake when you hold down A when holding them. I was kinda hoping for a rattle as well as a shaka-shaka-shake! Oh well. I still like em!

 

[John Wick]

It's still the rant thread? O_O

Remember when the white katana had an awesome animation and sound?

WHY DID THEY REMOVE THAT? O_O

 

[Poppies_92]

I don't understand why villagers that visit the campsite don't walk around your island for a day after speaking to them. It's truly strange....

Can it be used to call villagers to you? I have a couple of them but haven't tried them yet.

Isabelle used to send an awesome cake you could eat or display.

I miss the NL customizable tarts and cupcakes.

They were awesome. ^_^

There were tarts? I WANT TARTS!!!!

There is. Talk to them three times. They normally stand up on the third or after the third. It is quite nice.

I tried this but it didn't work. I talked to Cousteau 10 times and only annoyed him but didn't get him to stand up. :-(

it does not sadly, the villagers dont even have a reaction to it if youre close to them

I really wish that some of the rooms in our house were bigger. Like how New Leaf used to be...could fit way more into a single room. I also can't believe I spent 500k bells on expanding my storage o.o...

I also wish we could customize our homes like we did in NL... I'd love to have a mermaid exterior TvT... I know I keep comparing to NL, but that's just how much more flexible it was. Also...I miss our villagers knocking on our door and just entering into our homes...

Yea I really wish we had more options when customizing our homes. NL really had a lot of nice exteriors. I also liked getting the surprise visits from villagers. Hopefully they bring those back at some point.
