I spent FOREVER running around my island looking for Roald to give him a gift yesterday, and I was missing the megaphone from New Leaf like crazy. I wish they could implement a similar functionality using the phones! My rep has a mobile phone. My villagers all have mobile phones. I know there's service on my island, because the Nooklings call me after I use the drop off box. So why can't I use the phone to call my villagers and find out where the heck they are?

I know the lack of a microphone makes things complicated, but I still think phone calls could be a feasible addition. You could have an app on your phone where you choose who to call, just like the menu that comes up when you're sending a letter. From there, the call could be very similar to a normal conversation! While normal conversation menus are set up like this:

Let's chat!
Here's a gift!
Bye!

A phone call menu could be set up like this:

Let's chat!
Where are you?
Bye!

There are plenty of methods they could use for a villager to indicate where they are on your island, such as 'I'm near Kiki's house!' or 'I'm near the museum!'. Even if they just said 'I'm on the beach!' or 'I'm checking out this record player!' it would at least narrow it down!

I dunno, I just think it would be doable. If I have to waste any more time searching every single museum exhibit only for the villager I'm looking for to have teleported back to their home in the meantime, I'm going to scream!

Oh my gosh I hate that so much. I mean just wondering around looking for your villagers is the most stressful thing ever. I have to wonder and this is kinda Animal Crossing Logic. They all have their own Nookphones so why can't call them and ask where they are? Would it make more sense just to have them answer their phones and then tell you where they are instead of wasting so much time looking for them? I always find looking for your villagers on your island pretty annoying considering that they can be in random places even the Museum.
 
its been a month or two and i still cant get back into the game. i was hoping the updates would motivate me, and while i love that we have more custom design slots and that its on the phone now, nothing has been done to draw me back in. im not surprised by no anniversary big update (the cakes cute at least) but id be lying if i said i wasnt disappointed
 
This is a minor problem, but whenever I call my villagers with megaphones or play an instrument, my villagers ignore it completely. I miss when they used to respond.

That's so cute! I really hope they will add more cute villager interactions like that with items in new horizons like in pocket camp. It actually would help motivate me to decorate more since it does get a bit boring just seeing items sit there and not even able to be used. They did add the cute villager reactions to the festivale stage, so I have some hope for future items!

i missed this year's festivale, so i have to wait for next years :<

It's a cheer phone this time around. So you can't call them with it. It came with the football event and was a means of cheering on your favorite team/ect. Still, it's kind of silly that they don't react to it by a smile or shock (if you're too close)

To me, it's the little simple things like this that start to pile up (on top of the base-game stuff that we're patiently waiting on and aren't sure if it will ever come back) So at that point it's like 'So that's what we sacrificed shop upgrade/Brewster/ect for?
 
I hate that you can't give villagers gifts when they're sat down, and there's no way for you to get them to stand up again. It only ever happens if they've already requested something from you, i.e. delivering something to another villager, or asking for a fish/bug. But if I just want to give them a gift, I have to stand there and wait for them to stand up. And sometimes they'll finally stand up, and then sit back down straight after. 🤣 So frustrating!
 
i'm beginning to give up on this stringfish... i have crafted SO MUCH fishbait and tried for so long to find it but i just keep getting small fish. it goes away at the end of the month so maybe it'll forever elude me..

Make sure you're looking for it on the cliff tops in a river, and not a pond or ground level river. I found 3 last night will trying to find a Char and Golden Trout, so don't give up yet.
 
I think I've grown tired of my favourite villagers and want new ones.
But I don't want new ones because I have all my favourites. It's a conundrum
 
anyone ever hear yourself saying that ' i didn't destroy that piece of cliff for my health, you know ' , when your frustrated that ... say, my orange tree won't go in the place that i want to plant it at...?

cause that's me right now...

see, i wanted it to be like this

the trees beside the nook's cranny


but it ended up like this -

i wanted them side to side, like in the ref pic, but...
that'll have to do...

& yes, i did destroy a bit of the cliff, just for this.. i still need to put back my pansies, where they were :3

I was frustrated, but I am feeling a lot better now. it has less to do with the game, but more or less the community surrounding New Horizons. I feel like many people don’t really understand and appreciate the lore and history of animal crossing. Like I spent hundreds and hundreds of hours on the previous games. ANYWAYS, I just feel like with New Horizons many people view the villagers like NMTs, or Bells instead of actual villagers with story lines. It just annoys me just wanted to put that out there <3

OMG,,, are designing an island based on the animal crossing movie? :0
 
I think it’s stupid that they created a golden ax instead of a gold stone ax?

Who even needs a regular ax anyways when you can just pickup trees by eating fruits.

We need a gold stone ax for wood crafting. Literally you just need a regular ax for causing trouble and for chopping a few trees here and there for the for the bugs.

I hate being negative because I love this game, but I just thought of one other small rant. I personally feel like Nintendo is holding off on releasing some of the bigger NPCs like Brewster in order to keep us waiting and anticipating him with each update. I don't know if that even makes any sense, though. I feel like I'd play a lot more if we had a cafe with a job side quest as well as gyroids. I hope they're planning to release something about Brewster, a cafe, etc. sometime soon.
