Pet peeves on acnl

Hey to be honest when I came to these forums I wanted to show my love for Bob because he will always be my favorite villager ALWAYS. So I used the Bob is love, Bob is life thing in a joking fashion. Fast forward two months later and the whole thing is just a big mess that I can't control so just sit back and enjoy the ride while it lasts because it's gonna end sometime. But I'll never stop Boblieving.

THEY COULD HOLD THEIR SHOVELS WHEN THEY TALK TO US
IT'S NOT FAIR

jav i figured it out
THEY WANT OUR VILLAGERS TO DECK US WITH SHOVELS BUT WE CANT HIT THEM BACK THATS IT
 
You're taking it to the personal side. You know, if I'd ask a person why they love Bob so much, they'd give me a bunch of explanations.
But if I asked you why you'd love your favorite character so much, you'd also give me a bunch of explanations.

In a nutshell, he's just a cat, and people like him. That's it.



Jambette is really ugly, but she got a good soul, like all villagers of her personality. Maybe they created her to make people think about their (players) own behavior in society.



I've never seen hatred between time travelers and non-time travelers, just attempt to make time travelers reconsider, with no verbal aggression on neither sides. Personally, I think you make it sound worser than it actually is.



Maybe, but it would still be modifying the game, hacking. Losing your game is errors is quite unfair and sad, but then there's left to try getting your town back by modifying ways (as you mentioned) or simply growing over it.



I agree with you there. Nothing more, nothing less.

My thoughts exactly

Maybe because it promotes animal violence haha and people usually bury their fallen pets with shovels so

I think maybe the shovel gets in the way between the player and the villager chat, like if it was too big or something?? l m a o

Either way i'd love to chat with them holding shovels too a h.

They can hold shovels when you talk to them so it's not like a space problem.

I wish the villagers could battle it out with their tools and such w/ like toy hammers, beans, nets, etc.
 
anyways as for one of my pet peeves in ac i have quite a few
most of it is actually the game itself if that makes sense
it just feels like ever since i found out about the ac fandom i'm not playing it to have fun anymore but rather to impress other people with my town and i wish i felt like i was playing it for having a town that i was happy with and not necessarily a town others are happy with like how i felt for the first 3 months playing this game...

^^^This

I have to fully agree with this. The first 2-3 months I had the game, I only played it for myself. I loved it and played it a lot, but it was just for me. Now that I'm "a part of the fandom" its not as fun anymore. I always feel like my town isn't good enough and that I need to fix it. What started out as a cutesy stress-revealing game turned into a stress inducing game about impressing people who I hardly talk to. :(

Another pet-peeve of mine (about the fandom) is all the arguing that goes on. This is a cute game about animal villagers!! Why can't we all get along and help each other and be nice?!?! Is it that hard??

My opinion on yours:
1. Bob is a purple cat believed to be the first villager created. I had him myself and found him cute but that's pretty much it. But if people find it awesome, then they're awesome for enjoying him, no big freaking deal.
2. Jambette that bad tbh, I'd actually take her over Rocket, Skye or Nana.
3. While I agree people who feel they're superior to time travelers are annoying, I can kinda relate as I didn't start time traveling until April (I promise I never spoke negatively of time travelers) and always felt proud I had the patience to play the game at it's natural pace.
4. I don't mind duping and hacking UNLESS it's used to scam/take advantage of others or misused. Like, selling a rare set for a ton of bells to some poor innocent person with hard earned bells and selling the set 5 more times the same week. If you're doing it to be nice or to help your own town have fun with it.
5. While being black and Asian, I'd love a choice of skin color and am rather unhappy about the lack of it, but would I call it racist? Not necessarily, plus I feel that word is abused and understated. Sure racism exists, but the way some people throw it around for almost everything now It's not like Nintendo has never made black characters, there's just a bothersome lack of them. Unfair? Yes. But would I call it racist? Not really.

My pet peeves:
1. People on acnl that feel the need to talk about how much they hate my villagers or go "ewww ----" or "lol ------ sucks" everytime they so much as see them pass by when walking through my town. If I wanted your opinion I'd freaking ask, thanks.
2. Tangy. I hope that horrible orange abomination never rears it's head near my town ever again.
3. People who feel that selling villagers is slavery. You've gotta be kidding me. More than half the time you're selling them to people who actually want and take in the villager permanently.
4. People who offer up terrible villagers for popular ones, even when they know when it's a long shot. "Hey I've got Diva and I'm only looking for Marshal, Stitches Ankha and Merengue!!!!1!!!1!one!

Sorry for ranting... I had some things I needed to get off my chest too, I hope I didn't offend you in any way.

Exactly. Like people judge who likes what villagers and how they decorate. And I never cared about dreamies but when I joined this site there's even more tedious things in the game I would have never known about XD ANd now they're hard to ignore haaha

This sums up most of what I think. ^^
 
Didn't read all the posts, but my biggest complaints about ACNL are that you can't build PWP's on the beach (how cool would the firepit and torches or pyramid and sphinx be on the beach?) and that there's a limit to how many you have.

I agree on skin tone; that is unfortunate and does play into "white privilege." But given that many manga/anime feature heavily westernized white folk, it doesn't suprise me either.
 
A board peeve - I took a long time to post & I must have been automatically logged out as I lost my post.

Not going to go thru rewriting - but on the skin tone issue - you can have an all round tan by going to the island during the day without a hat.
Some hats block out the tanning effect, others do not (those that do, are listed in Liquefy's faq - gamefaqs & neoseekeers boards, & the info may be on wikis as well, may be here as well!).

As you gradually tan over the days it is possible to get the level of tan you want and keep it at that level.
 
i really hate that i cANT HODL MY SHOVEL WHILE TALKING TO MY VILLAGERS
EVERY TIME, I PUT THE SHOVEL AWAY, TALK, TAKE IT OUT... PUT IT AWAY, TAKE IT BACK OUT......
are they afraid im going to deck my neighbors with my shovel?????? why this
All things held with two hands are put away when you initiate a conversation, so that you have your hands free to receive items and stuff.
... So they should just switch it to one hand. WHY ARE VILLAGERS ABLE TO CARRY THEIR SHOVEL WITH ONE HAND AND NOT US?


My biggest pet peeve is how easily villagers copy each other's catchphrases. I'm fine with it sometimes, but I sometimes come up with a good one and then 5 minutes later they've switched to another villager's.

Well i already accidently "water my villagers" dont forget beating them with hammers and nets so.....
>> why put the shovel away?

1: For sure going in buildings and Putting my tools away its just. It takes too long to take them out and put them away very low patience ;_;

2: storage space. The museum and ground is covered in all the junk i must hoard

3: when villagers get me useless junk i dont want and i have more junk to carry around.

4: when i cant find joann anywhere. At all. And i find her in the most obvious or hidden spot.

5: the bugs during the summer that make those loud annoying noises ;;

6: when villagers hardly chip into pwps and i pay the majority of them ;_;

I tried. It said No snowmen are around


e_e...i spoke more clearly than i ever have before and i get that
I'll add that to my pet peeves.

When I use the megaphone why does it not work properly? I call for Lolly and Ankha answers? THEY DON'T EVEN SOUND THE SAME
And why do I have to say the f-word when I call for Fuchsia?
 
There was I time when I didn't TT and it was a bit harder to make money so I had to constantly go to the island, the problem was I would work at night at the time so it would only be the day time when I went to the island(no beetles) so I would go to the international islands and rack up a few bugs but here's where everything gets neiofneiobfoqb[o28390tf2.

So a couple times I'd be approaching a gold stag or a hercules very slowly and someone would come and then the game would load them up on the island and then my bug wouldn't be there anymore! That's another peeve.
 
I don't understand the big deal with Ankha, before I knew she was door popular I had her and I HATED her. My friend loves her, and I just dint understand. She's not cute. Someone explain PLEASE! I mean I get Diana, she's really pretty, but Ankha!? What do you guys see in her? She's the only villager that really confuses me...

My main draw to her is the fact that she's Egyptian and Snooty, which is pretty much just Cleopatra. Even before coming here I really wanted her for just that reason, because that was an interesting historical character. I also want to surround her house with purple flowers for the same reason.

I'm a nerd.
