Is this a glitch or just rotten luck?

[Spooky.]

I've had my second town since February. Since then I've gotten ONE pwp request. One. That's it. I still only have all the basic ones you start out with aside from the one.

I have done every sort of trick there is to get villagers to request more and they just don't. I've done the diving trick, I've filled my pockets with flowers, I talk to them nonstop and run errands for them constantly. Still they only ever ping me about catchphrases or to ask me to bring them fruit. But oddly, even then I don't get pings that much.

I've been dying to decorate the town with pwps and work on landscaping more but I have nothing to work with at all.

Is this possibly some kind of glitch or do I just have really terrible luck?

I think it's bad luck. I've had towns where I've been the absolute bestest friend to my villagers and I swear it took me 3 months to suggest my first PWP.

In this one I'm practically ignoring them and I'm getting requests almost daily. Crazy!

 

[Spooky.]

It's driving me insane. I just want some nice benches, is that too much? ;~;

 

[scartwright]

Haha, apparently it is. Keep at it! You'll get one eventually!

In my experience I find that building lots of unnecessary PWPs helps me to get PWP requests from villagers. I've gotten most of my PWP pings immediately after the ceremony of a PWP I only made to get closer to perfect town status...

Ugh, I haven't had my town for as long, but about a month and I've gotten one too. So frustrating!!! ;w;

I have a bunch of pwps up already, I considered maybe that was it but that hasn't helped either. At ceremonies the villagers just walk away at the end and say nothing. I have so many lamps and ugly yellow benches in my town ;~;

 

[daynapapaya]

Ugh, that's terrible of them. You spend all those bells to build PWPs you don't want, just to make them happy, and what do you get in return...nothing...

It took me a while to get the first few PWP requests and then once they started coming in, I got requests daily. Just be patient and hopefully when it rains it pours.

It's been 10 months though. Ten months. This hasn't happened in my other towns.

 

[daynapapaya]

Yeah 10 months is pretty long to go without any PWP requests. Actually, it's not even "pretty long", it's more like "this should be literally impossible"...

 

[radioloves]

Hmm, seems like it's a random chance for new public work projects, but if it took that long seems kind of odd maybe there's too much of the same villager type? not a balance of villagers, need 10/10 villagers ... I'm sure you got all of it hmm probably your town is perfect and doesn't need anymore improvements xD

 

[Sloom Lagoon]

Nahh, I have the same problem! Funnily enough, after a while when you do get 1 natural ping for a PWP, it seems to open the floodgates, and suddenly everyone pin for them! Albeit all the worst ones (Big screen, yield sign etc.) I have not had one good one yet, but at least I'm getting them, right? :/

 

[mayortash]

Do you ever play and then put the DS in sleep mode whilst the game is still running? Or walk away from the 3DS for a while? I can only imagine that you are actually missing the pings during these times.

 

[Belle of Pripyat]

Do you time travel a lot? Maybe they don't feel "close to you" if you're not playing mostly day by day. It seems like when I hang out with my villagers often, do favors and send letters, they request PWPs.

 

[xRabbitx]

hang in there ... all will soon come!

Maybe you've reached your limit since you have so many lamps and benches?

 

[memester]

Probably just bad luck. Or, perhaps it is God's evil plot against you and the acnl community as a whole. People have probably been bringing to the game to church or w/e and upsetting him.

Seems legit lol

Don't know whether this may help but what seems too work for me with getting pwp's, is swimming in the ocean. I always swim one end to the other while catching the sea creatures that are under water. Then when I walk around my town, sometimes a villager will request a pwp.
