Things that annoy on NL

I hate it when alllll the villagers say is "take a rest, you look tired" I DO WHAT I WANT WHEN I WANT. I don't need any advice from stupid animals!

OH YAY MY GRASS IS GONE. :D NOW WHEN IT RAINS I CAN SPLISH AND SPLASH IN THE MUD.

Lol. IMO grass deteriation is fun. I love the squelchy noises it makes while it's raining if you run in the mud while wearing rain boots. There's actually nothing I don't like about this game. I just think of any way I can make the annoying parts/faults fun.
 
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. ^^
Aww, that's quite inspiring :blush:
 
Yeah well I can live with waiting on holidays, furniture, and where villagers place their houses.

However, grass deterioration is not the same thing. Just because Apollo planted his house right next to a holding pond does not make my town look hideous and in disrepair. Grass deterioration not only makes your town look like a muddy mess (like a construction site where grass has not been put down), but at some point insects that require grass to spawn will not spawn. I was specifically not running through my town so I could have less deterioration but the fact that it is deteriorating because I want to play the game more than once a day is absurd.

I am a nature lover. I love trees and the flowers and the bushes. But it all looks like crap if my ground is mostly mud. Real grass does not behave in the fashion it does in this game. I would be fine if grass deteriorated only in the places I ran through frequently. That's what grass does. My yard has trails in it from the dogs walking the same path every day. Grass does not, however, die because I step outside more than once a day. If anything, grass should regrow during the time you're not playing because, well, you're not there trampling it!
 
Whenever someone is visiting my town and says something as im entering a room, I cant see what they said.
They should have a chat log in towns like they do in the best friends feature.
 
I don't experience this extreme grass deteriation, or whatever everyone's complaining about. There's practically no grass deteriation in my town and I've been playing the game 3 times daily for like 2-3 hours each, running around, never walking. So IDK.
 
I play on and off throughout the day and haven't had much issue. Like I said, grass grows back incredibly fast in this game. If you don't obsess over it, it's really not hard ot maintain.
 
Ah...

...

Not being able to visit other towns. The whole 'an error occured'-problem.
I see the towns that are open on the list Porter shows me, but I get this stupid error code when I try to visit them. So many people have this problem, and nothing seems to fix it!
Online multiplayer was what I was looking forward to the most, so that really sucks. I feel so isolated!
Maybe that's not really "a thing about NL", but... :/
 
Many forums for AC say it's because the servers are so jammed with everyone wanting to use the online multiplayer thing. After all, the game has only been out in America, Europe, Australia, etc. for a couple of days so it's not that hard to believe that there are so many people playing online at once. Give it a while, until everyone has calmed down and it'll probably improve. :p
 
I also find that it's ridiculously easy to earn bells once you have the island unlocked. With all the new needs for bells a change was needed but I think they might have gone overboard with it.
 
I hope you're right... :/

However many people do even get error messages when they're playing locally. I went to the island with my sister yesterday and we couldn't even finish one tour. We were in the same room ._.
 
I also don't find it super easy to earn bells. I don't have the island yet though! I'm excited for it tomorrow so I can make some bigger bucks.

There is always the option to stay in town as well if you are into the grind :)
 
The only thing that actually annoys me is how long it takes for certain things to happen, causing me to time-travel. Like waiting for the mayor permit thing to be accepted { or whatever it was }. I don't really mind waiting, but I hated how there was very little I could do without being a mayor since I was in such a early stage of the game. Couldn't go to the island.. Couldn't work towards building a Public Works Project.. etc..

But to be honest, nothing else genuinely irritates me. I mean, every once in a while I get a little bothered about something, but it's so small that I forget about the problem in a few minutes. ^_^
 
I think it's unbelievably easy to earn bells using the perfect fruit method.
Watch this video. :) I made 1,500,000 bells. But I spent most of it on house upgrades, etc.

The perfect fruit method takes a bit of time at first because of planting trees until you have a sizeable orchard, but afterwords it's mother loads of cash with so little effort.
 
That I finally saw a tarantula and froze while I had WW and CF flashbacks of being bitten and then lost sight of it.
 
Not having an "add friend" feature in club tortimer also bugs me. Yeah, we don't know the people but still, some of us are old enough to know the responsibilities that must be taken when communicating with people we don't know. I'm 18 years of age, a 10-year old child will not make me feel endangered or threatened. It's a shame because I've genuinely met some nice people on club tortimer and it's disappointing that I couldn't befriend them! :(
