Nothing major I am really happy with the new 2.0 items but I would like to see more clothing and are we not getting seasonal items anymore? The limited edition ones that you have to order?

I’m pretty sure they’re done with updating this game, so you likely won’t get any new seasonal items.

I wish you could actually buy NMTs in bulk. It’s a pain just button mashing.

I agree, especially since you can buy turnips in bulk, so why not let you do it with Nook miles tickets? I feel bad for people on here and people in general who sell a lot of Nook miles tickets as that much have took forever to get

still hate that there's no equivalent to the megaphone feature from NL. you'd think with the addition of phones, it would be common sense to include an app showing all your villagers' icons and then, when you click on them, it exits out the phone and shows you ringing them and a speech bubble appears in the direction they are or a dialogue box if they're at home or in a different building, but no.

Yeah, I hope they include calling in the next mainline game. It’s even in Pocket Camp where you can call villagers if I recall.

I would love bulk crafting . My only guess is because of the achievement. Too bad you can’t get bulk crafting after you get the achievement.

Maybe so, but still it should not take that long to craft something especially for example when trying to make a lot of Fish Bait. I feel bad for the people who had to make like 400 of them their thumbs must be so sore. I know some people said "Oh just a use a turbo controller" but even that still takes a long time. I hate doing comparisons but Minecraft had a much better crafting system, heck even Pokemon Legends Arceus had bulk crafting also.

Really disappointed right now. I spent so much bells, poki, and time collecting furniture and designing QR's only to find out that the piece I was doing this for doesn't implement the entire QR into it. So everything is cut out and makes it look so bad. Why is this a thing? Why couldn't the piece crop the thing in entirely or stretch it to fit the slate?

Other pieces can be customized with the QR and since the piece is so long it just stretches it/goes on.

It just sucks that I did this to work around a missing feature and now I need to find a way to work around an even stupider feature. Who does this and makes it so a QR doesn't fit all the way?

My god I hate the campsite so much. I actually feel angst at the thought of trying to move someone in. The amount of repetition you have to mash through to even GET to a move-in game is ridiculous. Then I lose those games almost every time and have to start over. And then there's hoping they pick the right villager... It's legitimately the worst way they could have implemented this and it doesn't feel rewarding in the slightest, it feels like I wasted so much of my time tapping a button just to replace the villagers I don't want with one that I kind of like. I'm supposed to go to bed in an hour and based on experience I don't know if I should even try to do it!

Honestly repetitive dialog never bothered me but instead of subtypes I still wish we have more in-depth dialog for the villagers with specific designs, I don't mind if more of the genetic villagers talk exactly the same but for some more unique(in my opinion) villagers their personalities suit them to some extent but certain aspects to their dialog don't but we only have 8 personalities and 4 for each gender(Nintendo, gender-locking personalities is EXTREMELY stupid, why did you do this?) to choose from so no other personality fits them so alas they must be [insert personality] then...

One villager I adore(and also own) that has this problem is Spike, now Spike has a more intimidating/edgier design compared to the many villagers who are suppose to look cute, I headcanon Spike as a tough guy or something like that, Spike's in-game bios suggest he is in-fact a tough guy but he is actually really nice once you get to know him:
Spike's in-game RV Welcome Amiibo bio:
With his punk-rock looks and gruff demeanor, Spike can be a little scary. But if you like to skate, he'll be your BFF in a heartbeat.
Spike's in-game pocket camp bio:
Sure, he looks a little intimidating and sounds like a tough-as-nails ex-cop in an action movie, but Spike's really a sweet guy.
Spike's bio on his E-reader card:
Spike is the scariest looking dude around. His mean scowl, huge scar, and sharp tongue scare off even the toughest streetwise city kid, but he's actually as cuddly as a teddy bear once you get to know him.
Source for bios: https://nookipedia.com/wiki/Spike
So cranky seems like the best personality for Spike because what other personality is he suppose to be? But I hate how in New Horizons when I talk to Spike he usually just talks like a tired middle age man, talking about the old days and how his body is old and tired and it's not the same as it used to be when he was younger. This doesn't seem like how Spike should speak, I think it would suit him more if he had more of the ruder dialog the crankys had in the old games but when you have better friendship with him he talks to you kinder and starts actually acting like a friend(like how Spike's bios above suggest). I was using Spike as an example for this, Cranky villagers can be a little rude(not really in New Horizons) but they also speak like old men this only somewhat fits Spike I wish they would make special dialog for villagers that don't completely fit said personality's dialog in-game, Spike is only a single example I could write a huge essay about so many villagers with this problem, I guess Nintendo doesn't want to take the time to write unique dialog for at least some villagers who really need it.

With all the events added in the game you would think they would've added more DIYS and items to them, but no its all the same stuff you already seen in the game. I get its traditional in AC Games to repeat events, but come on at least try to change up the event to make it more refreshing and different with new items.

Now that I am getting more serious with designing, the size of the small rooms is a lot more noticeable. You can barely add anything in room, unless you want it so cluttered you can't even move/interact with anything in the room. What were they thinking? Oh yeah let's give them a dlc where the room's can expand even further, but I doubt the player wants that own freedom for their own character's hurhurdur.

That still annoys me how you still can't resize the rooms on your island with your own home or when design the villager's homes. Like come on New Leaf allowed us to resize each room in our home. Also you can't even use the Room Sketch app when designing villager's homes on your island. So if you spend all the time planning out then I'm sorry to say that your planning is ruined thanks to the stupid limitation.

I would rather have it the way it used to be and I'd pay 3 times to expand the room slowly than it being restricted to such a small room.

Idk why but I wish we could add MORE villagers to the island.

I had to make 8 homes on my main island because I wanted to put more stuff in the home to fit my idea, but just having one home was driving me nuts. I really didn't care much of the smaller rooms. Like you said if they would've add the option to let us pay to expand our room size this would not be as bad.

The last game that made you had more villagers was the original Animal Crossing on GameCube. You can have up to 15 villagers at that time. but for whatever reason in the newer AC games that number got lowered to 10.

Yea decorating the small rooms is such a pain. I made mine into a library and a bathroom since I didn’t know what else to do with them. Still not sure what to go with the last one. It would have been great to get to resize them with the DLC.

I would love more villagers. It would be nice if we could use the other player characters plots as villagers. It is nice for some people who want more playable characters or those who share islands. I will not have more then two playable characters so it would be nice to use those plots for villagers instead.

Yes but I wish we had the option to add more then 10 villagers to our island only if we want to,
it depends on my what I'm doing on my island and my mood, sometimes I wish we could have more then 10 villagers other times I'm glad we don't since I struggle to find a nice place for my villagers homes to be out of the way so I can have room for decorating and when I'm re-doing my island I put villagers houses on the beach, if we had more then 10 villagers this would be a problem but sometimes I do want more so it would be nice if we could get more only if we want to.

SAME. i was really hoping that the villager limit would’ve been increased to at least 12 in 2.0, especially with the addition of 8+ new villagers, but alas not. i have so many favourite villagers, and not enough room for them all — choosing only 10 is painful lol.

like @/azurill said, being able to use any character slots we don’t use for villagers would’ve been really cool, too. i personally only plan on having 2-3 human characters on my island (including my island rep), so having an additional 5-6 villager slots to work with would’ve been *chefs kiss*. this also sounds like something that’d be optional, which would be great for those who don’t want more than 10 villagers.

The game gets boring after a while because everything is easily achievable. There is no challenge and nothing to find out like in previous games. It’s all just a matter of time.
