Pet peeves on acnl

Yeah...but there is ALWAYS something that "disrespects" people. Technically, I doubt anybody on the planet can say anything that somebody, somewhere, will feel "offended" or "disrespected" by these days. I'm also pretty live and let live, too.

And this thread doesn't seem to have hate in it anyway. Well, maybe except for my sort-of hatred of lack of inventory space...
 
1. WHY IS THERE NO LONGER HAIRS

2. CAN WE CHOOSE WHERE THEY GO INSTEAD OF PLOT RESETTING FOR 2 HOURS

3. different speech patterns for everyone woo
 
Re: time travelling ... It bugs me too if people think less of TTing ... It is built into the game as an option for playing so there is no superiority involved if you choose to time travel ... There are consequences, of course, but that is also built into the game, so play it to the full the way the game designers intended. I personally love to TT but did so more when my town was new and I was collecting and building and planting, etc. Now I pretty much stay in the present. I really love this game, BTW! :)
 
My town just feels really cramped, no matter what I do.

Oh. I want to design my own furniture sets and wallpapers and clothes and such, but then 'd lose out on customizing my town. It gets especially bad because some paths require nine tile spaces.

I wish there was more to motivate me to catch bugs and such in my own town in seasons other than Summer. The island is fun and all, but after one night of catching bugs or running tours I feel drained and demotivated to play ACNL for a few days. I also wish there were more noticeable differences between bugs, esp Raja B/Peacock Butterflies. You thought you caught a Raja B? Wrong. It was another Peacock Butterfly. >:[

OH. And how villages fish one-handed really bugs me. Idk why.

I also seem to lack the motivation to check the shops every day. I wish they'd just mail you a catalog, or at least have a greater variety of items so I don't have to see Illusion Floor/Wall for the 3249027th time or see what accessories and tops theyre reselling.

@edit: Also, trying to get villagers to put up stuff you give them or wear shirts you buy them gets a bit frustrating. I want to give all of my villagers a specific item but some of them just give it back or sneak it to another player character. I don't want to waste money giving them an item they'll just pawn off on someone else. Eesh.

@Edit#2: I remember being very frustrated that I couldn't make paths as a PWP when I first started. That'd be a nice update, especially if they were more like the cobblestone.

Eh, I didn't read all of this thread, but I'm going to say the whole moving thing. Yes, I know, that's the whole point; it's a village, after all, so of course, residents are going to want to leave at some point and what not. But it annoys me that there's always the stress/risk/whatever of losing a villager if I don't play for a while for whatever reason. Sometimes I don't have the time, or sometimes I simply don't want to play. Other than that, I have a few other pet peeves, but I'll list those some other time.
 
Diving, today I was doing the spider crab tour and it got me thinking about diving in general. I really wish the creatures couldn't slip under the barrier, it's extremely frustrating especially as you only get a fast burst as your running out of air. On that topic, I really wish the snorkel mask actually helped you in this game by allowing longer underwater breathing.
 
As a newbie and outsider to all of this, it really seems to me that the community is taking a lot too serious that's really not worth to get upset about? I mean sheesh, it's just a game...
But then again I feel like there's so much cultural difference between how Americans (assuming most of you are, anyway) and Europeans look at things and I usually blame that.

Anyway...

I'm really getting aggravated by the HHA. I know it's all optional and all, but I really don't like to have to have sets of things. It totally ruins the charme of it for me. I saw a few of completely matched funiture sets on my HHA showcase (rococo, mermaid, balloon, the like) and I find that so extremely boring. I want my house to look like what I like, not to be some out-of-the-catalogue common set of things. I want my house to reflect my personality. I want my house to look a way I feel I would like to live there.
When I look around in my actual IRL living room where I'm sitting as I type, there's not much that matches. I have a set of couch and wing chair and that's about it. Live doesn't work that way. Maybe I approach the topic from a too "un-gamerish" grown-up POV but it really irks me that my three rooms only get about 13000 points every morning although I find them perfect and Lyle has the guts to tell me that 70000 are normal. Ugh.
I know it's not really an issue, but as someone who likes to go for prizes and high scores it really irks me because I feel I have to bend my personality to something the games wants and sheesh.

Yeah, some first world problems aight. xD

I am African American too, but I really don't care about the skin option. (I'm pretty pale for a black person, anyway)
My New Leaf Pet Peeve would have to be the villagers that move into bad spots.
 
i've read this thread from the start and just wanted to give my (probably unwelcome but whatever) tuppence on the whole bob religion thing

you have every right to be offended by the fact that the bob thing is sort of kind ofparodying christianity with the whole 'dying for our sins' thing, that's fine, if that offends you or insults your personal beliefs then you are entitled to be bothered by it, but you are not entitled to tell them to stop or to tell them that what they are doing is a disgrace or whatever
at the end of the day a religion that worships bob the cat as the one true savior and messiah is just as valid as a religion that worships jesus christ
it may have a significantly lower number of followers but it is still as valid
you are allowed to disagree with something and to be insulted by it, but you are not allowed to force them to stop doing it

i personally think it's harmless, bob is pretty chill

pet peeves are that goliath beetles are worth less than cyclammatus stags but STILL scare off so much more easily it just makes very little sense
storage is also annoying i want more storage lmao
i want to be able to hold more bells without having to carry extra bell bags
i want the shopping card back holy moly
i want gracie to have her own shop like she did in city folk, idk i just liked that it was better

i agree with this, especially because in my house i don't want to have a double bed in every room that is just abnormal??? but you have to in order to rack in the big points
i combat this by going for the big points first and then once i got all the prizes i started pursuing my own personal style instead
it also gives you more to do, i guess

You make valid points, <<. I don't have anything else to say.. I'm going back to the Best of the best villager award thread nooww, byye
 
Biggest Pet Peeves:

1) No choice of skin color.

2) Excessive Catchphrase/Greeting change prompts. I'm your mayor, not your PR manager.

3) Inability to replicate grass and dirt colors with the in-game palette

4) Secondary characters can't hear PWP ideas from villagers.

5) Ever expanding dirt patches.
 
I agree with the thing about being unable to choose your skin colour. They should get rid of tanning (or reduce the effect it has) and just let you pick at the start. I think tanning in the game is dumb and annoying too. The colour change is extreme and pretty much impossible to avoid if you play during the day in summer and don't want to dress a certain way.

Oh and now you've reminded me of another summer related pet peeve...mosquitoes! I wish they'd at least tone down the frequency of their bites.
 
Wish we had more shoes at Kick's.
Also wish Blather's still raved about the fossil your donating/
Oh yeah here's a recent one, I hate how when you had to give Zipper T the first 6 eggs, it had to be one at a time haha idk i'm an impatient person.
 
Wish we could change the color of accessories and shoes like the furniture you can color customize.

Also wish we could interact and have more to do and fun with the animals. I've been thinking about it and wouldn't it be fun to have an option that lets our human character decide how they will reply to animals with either a nice, rude, or indifferent attitude. Thus in someway letting our own villagers develop some sort of emotion when speaking to animals. Also it be cool to be able to pet the animals or high-five them, now that would be awesome.

All in all though I think this game needs more randomness in terms of unpredictable dialog and events.
 
1. If you're talking to villager and another one pings, they will give up before you have a chance talk to them.

2. Diving, the shadows go under the ropes, plus sometimes when you get to them they just disappear ...

3. When talking to villagers and holding a tool you end up using the tool.. so many villagers have had their feet watered.
 
i just realized last time I didnt list any legitimate pet peeveS SO

prob how hard it is to get villagers to request pwps
