Things that annoy on NL

[Bea]

My villagers keep telling me to take a break. I get why games are doing this but it's so shouldn't be their job to police children's gaming time.

They're just concerned for their mayor! And it's not like they tell you every single time you talk to them

Having to wait until Club LOL appears on my Public Works list so I can listen to K.K. Slider play his songs on a Saturday night.

Club LOL isn't a public works project..

Either way it takes ages to get it!

 

[BlueFlameAngel]

It didn't take me all that long. I don't even know how to get it. Dr.Shrunk just randomly came to me.

I'd say the totally random spots new villagers take up residence is very annoying. Especially when they park up right in front of the town hall/your house/ in front of a pond...

They do it enough that it annoys me. And it worries me that AI animal villagers have to parent children these days... x.x

Grass deterioration seemed to come out of nowhere! And I can it gets really heavy near my bridge, since I typically run over the one I have to get to the Re-tail shop, since there are no flowers in that area.

And the biggest thing that is bothering me right now is waiting for the QR code machine. I refuse to time travel more than a few hours at a time (If I don't get a chance to play before the shops close, I'll go back in time a few hours, but that's it) so I have to wait until tomorrow, when it should be available.

What's funny is that if you actually took as many breaks as they tell you to it'd make your village look muddy. <_<

 

[Bea]

I'm actually enjoying grass deterioration this time around. I love making natural dirt paths and since it's easy to regrow grass I'm not OCD over-meticulous about maintaining my grass like I was in CF. Those were dark AC times....

 

[laceydearie]

Maybe it has something to do with your connection? I find it to be quite quick.



The only thing that annoys me is Kapp'n's singing on the boat. It's such a waste of time. I usually put my 3DS on mute and do something else.

He'll stop singing if you press B rapidly.

Cries, I've only had my town since the 15th and I'm already noticing grass deterioration

 

[BlueFlameAngel]

No one has told me to take a break yet. On my first and second days playing the game I spent over 5 hours playing it. xDD

 

[Srsbizns]

It's a bit frustrating when you can't do any projects due to an event on that day. Even when it's actually over, Isabelle pretty much tells you to go away and enjoy the now-over festivities. : (

The map is too small in my opinion... especially since I played the GC version these last months and I'm just so used to my 3-level-map.

Blathers doesn't blather. I liked that... no, I LOVED that. Same thing for Phyllis, who isn't that pissed off anymore.

And... okay, it doesn't really "annoy" me, but... the music. Not all the themes. I like some. But most of them just feel odd to me, especially the 3 pm music. But that's just my opinion...

 

[Bea]

I do miss bringing Blathers giant bugs and watching him freak out. But I'll take donating multiple items over his Blathering any day.

My grass deterioration doesn't even make any sense. The majority of it is happening in places I don't even walk around 90% of the time. Some of it is happening in areas I pretty much never walk to because there is nothing there for me to see.

Honestly grass deterioration should only happen when you put patterns down over the grass that way if someone wants a dirt path they can lay down patterns for a few days to kill the grass. And if you want pattern paths you can put down pattern paths. And if you don't want paths at all you don't have to majorly change how you were playing the game in order to prevent your grass from dying.

I purposely have never ran through my town unless a bee or tarantula was chasing me because I figured they wouldn't be crappy enough to make walking on grass kill grass. -.- And if I find out my neighbors walking around kills grass too I might just lose my freaking mind.

I agree with you. In NL it's acceptable since it's so easy to get back but CF was just disgusting, I didn't dare walk off of my paths or else I'd never see that little patch of grass again

 

[Bambi]

The fact that grass deterioration is already heavily visible in areas of my town because I had the gall to want to turn on my game more than once a day. It's frustrating because once I turn off my game I don't want to turn it back on and end up killing more grass. I only run a few times in my town and those times were nowhere near where any of the deterioration is happening. -.-

So now I can't play my game as much as I want to and I have to change up how I play a ton. Instead of having little areas of flowers, I'll eventually have to cover every square inch of my town in flowers so that the dirt wont spread if I want to play more than once a day. I shouldn't have to leave my 3DS on all day if I want to play in the morning and then at night to catch sharks (or now, in this case, play mini games to get more flowers).

It's really disappointing. Nintendo made a really stupid decision to put this 'feature' back into the game. I thought I'd be safe since it seemed to be less bad than City Folk's apparently was, but it's only been a week and the grass deterioration is painfully obvious and an eyesore around Pashmina's house, as well as along other parts of town. I don't want to waste pattern slots on paths. It feels like the game's becoming less 'play how you want' and more 'MAKE SURE YOU USE PATHS AND ONLY PLAY ONCE A DAY!'

Seriously it was bad enough that the animals would tell me to take a break all the time. It's ironically hilarious to note that no, I can't actually take as many breaks as the programmed dialogue says I should. If I saved and quit for a while every time a villager told me to, my village would probably be a nasty dirt mess by now!

I couldn't have said it better myself. Unfortunately for me I don't have the luxury of a time frame where I can just sit down and play for 2-3 hours. I have like 10-20 minute intervals of playtime throughout the day because I am either at work, gym, cooking, cleaning, dog park etc. I have noticed the grass wear already and it makes me soooooo sad. I don't know WHAT Nintendo was thinking when they brought grass-wear back. I have YET to meet someone who thinks "OH YAY MY GRASS IS GONE! AWESOME!"

Part of the series, in my opinion, is having to learn that you quite simply don't get complete control. Grass dies, villagers build their house right in front of the space you wanted to build that bridge by, you have to wait for things. I like that there are things I can't micro-manage, it helps me relax and realize that no matter how much I do in a day my town's never going to be perfect. So I tell myself to get over it Bea, and just have fun fishing. ^^

I saw the potential in CF but I agree, it was over the top and completely unbearable. It basically forced me to isolate my town from friends and family who don't care about my grass state. Which is just sad. Now if my grass dies I just chuck a pansy on it and water.
