Does anyone ever get overwelmed?

[SirSean]

Yup. I understand that some things can get tedious. I used to hit rocks everyday, but then over time I started to get tired of it. Now I just do it when I visit Mystery Islands because I want to make the most of the ticket I bought, or whenever I need resources to create DIYs.

That's exactly what I've been doing too. Most of my time now in the game is just cataloging or trading for any stuff I still really want.

When I started playing I was getting overwhelmed by tasks. Then it felt like a chore to play, and I stopped playing for weeks.
I'm trying to find a balance in the way I'm playing but it's always been like this since I played even on New Leaf. I enjoy, I start getting overwhelmed by the number of daily tasks (talk to everyone, check the stores, dig the fossils) that I just stop enjoying it and leave everyone for weeks or even months.

I get overwhelmed when I’m making trades and I have a line of people waiting, and when I have to rush to the airport get dodo codes.
All in all what I think what I feel most overwhelmed by would be flowers, they grow too fast and I can’t keep up with them. Not a lot of people need Hybrids anymore either so it makes me sad to sell them to the nook shop but what can I do.

 

[Xara]

all the time. it also doesn’t help that i’m slowly burning myself out so now the daily tasks are slowly feeling more like a chore than something i enjoy doing but i just take one thing at a time - i’m not in any rush to boot up the game or collect materials or do my daily tasks. i do it when i feel up for it and go slow and it works out pretty well for me most of the time ;;

but like aloherna said, the main thing that really stresses me out is trading - i love trading and interacting with people but i have a habit of scheduling multiple trades at once and then i have people sending dodo codes or waiting for mine at the same time and it’s just,,, a whole mess and a habit that i need to break lmaoo

 

[That Marshal Fangirl]

Oh, all the time. It took me forever to even begin working on my island because there was so much to do. Eventually, I just picked a spot for my neighborhood and stuck with it until I was happy before moving on. I'm pretty much done with my shopping/museum area, so next is my entrance. The task I assigned myself before I do that is earning the golden shovel DIY for all my damn flowers. Time travel and Gulliver visit grinding are all I'm focusing on at the moment. Sometimes it's best to stick with one thing at a time so you don't feel too stressed out.

Yeah trading sometimes can give you anxiety trying to get the dodo code or send it out. Then if you have someone on your island you have to worry about them wandering and taking things.

 

[Lotusblossom]

Yes so over whelmed it's very time and mind consuming in these busy summer days... I wish it came out in the winter months

 

[Clock]

Flowers just overwhelm me because they are all over the place and you have to deal with breaking shovels when you try to get rid of them.

 

[sleepydreepy]

I get overwhelmed sometimes because of the freedom they give you in the game with terraforming. Don't get me wrong, I love terraforming but sometimes I just doubt my entire island design and think "why did I make this area this way," especially since I'm not one of those people who bulldozed their whole town and built from the ground up and instead stuck more with my original island landscape. Because there are so many possibilities in the game, I wonder if I am using my space as well as I can. Does that make sense? I guess I have trouble committing to a design, especially in terms of making it flow with the rest of my island. And again, its just really stressful to me to think that if I wanted to I could completely change my island around by moving buildings and terraforming. The fact that nothing is really permanent in the game is both good and bad.

 

[kindheartedhog]

If I'm trying to terraform or design my island at all I get overwhelmed and almost immediately stop. It makes me regret tearing down my entire island instead of just keeping the layout I had originally had from the start. Wish I had saved a picture of my map : (

 

[SweetDollFace]

Interacting with other players mainly, especially when I go into their islands. I get very flustered because I don’t want to mess with anyone’s hard work since everybody has put in a lot of hours and effort into their place. But at the same time I want to see it all and enjoy it. So I come out as awkward.

I hate when I use the wrong emote. I remember I had the angry emote on my wheel before and I accidentally used it a couple times when trying to do the clapping one.

 

[MiraculousGiraffe]

Oh for sure!!!!! I realized I hated how I redesigned my island so all the hours of terraforming I did was a waste cause I have to do it all over again so the motivation to go and redo all cliffs, rivers and move all my villagers to the beach and then the new spots is so daunting it's taken me a month to pick up the game again lol

 

[Xeleron]

Yes.... sometimes I even forget to check the campsite because I have other things in mind

 

[Luxsama]

No.. I just know I dont HAVE to do things lol

 

[patchworkbunny]

I did for a while because I felt I was so behind everyone and I only have a couple of hours a day to play... And all the advice was to do all your dailies every day and it got a bit much to keep up with. But now I am content with playing super slow and if I get a useful bit of furniture/DIY one day, yay I'll go do something with it. If not I'll just pootle round catching critters/talking to residents/hitting things. My island will probably take all year to finish but at least I'll still have stuff to do.

 

[John Wick]

Yeah I do, but I take it slowly and have a break every now and then.

 

[Alienfish]

Not really, more like underwhelmed due to their update release(free dlc) approach..

 

[InstantNoodles]

Yup I get very overwhelmed. For instance, I took a break from the game and haven't gotten into diving because I find it overwhelming and I got distracted by other games haha
