ACNH Pet Peeves and Petty Complaints Thread

Guys, in all honesty "THE GAME HAS TO LOAD, HOW DARE IT! WHY IS IT SHOWING ME THINGS THAT MAKE SENSE IN THE IN-GAME WORLD TO COVER FOR THAT? I WANT TO SPEEDRUN THIS GAME THAT'S DESIGNED FOR TAKING IT EASY, DAMMIT" isn't a petty complaint, it's rant thread stuff.

An actual petty complaint: why is the newspaper helmet covered in lines and boxes? At least put some squiggles and a picture of something on it, that'd look much nicer.

It's not so much that as that it's pretty outdated for today's standards. They're using the same formula that was in use with NewLeaf and that was from 2012. They could easily cut back on Oriville's dialogue and options and make it more bearable. And everyone getting kicked because of one person's bad connection or griefing shouldn't be a thing in 2021. I didn't care for it back in NL and it feels even more stunted x amount of years later.

The thing is, a lot of these things are inherently P2P connection problems, and the reason why Nintendo's using P2P for Animal Crossing is because Nintendo doesn't use server-client connections, only P2P. It also doesn't make sense to use server-client connections for something like Animal Crossing, because it's largely based around individual Switch consoles connecting together. Splatoon, maybe... but I generally don't have much in the way of online problems with that, either.

NH's online's actually one of the good ones in terms of operating, compared to something like Super Mario Maker 2, which is so laggy I'm not even mad, I'm laughing. Terrible online coding there. Orville's honestly got the right amount of options there, although I'm not sure why Dodo Codes for friends exist. He just needs an extra line of dialogue for when you screw up, so you can go back to where you were, because that's the only thing that's genuinely annoying to me. Otherwise, I'm happy to wait.
 
Whoever came up with this idea for online should be fired. Imagine if every online game had this structure for online. People would just not like it.

And then you realize why Nintendo has been notoriously AWFUL at online since... Well, forever.

Also she could've done more in Resident Services like the idea I have is that if you have an issue with a villager and you don't want them on your island anymore you can tell her to have the villager removed by tomorrow morning.

Yup 100% this. And if we complain about a villagers home or wardrobe, THEN RESET THEIR HOME OR WARDROBE
 
Island hopping for new villagers always seems so fun in theory but once I actually start doing it I hate it. I wish I could fly from one mystery island to a new mystery island instead of having to go all the way back home and re starting the dialogue. I still have tickets on me (or Orville could always sell some for NMT like how he sells tools) so why can’t he just... accept my ticket and fly me somewheres new.

I wish the dialogue in this game wasn’t so cumbersome. Yes I want to fly. Yes I have nook mile tickets. Yes I want to go to a mystery island. Yes I’m sure!! Gets on my nerves.

Edit: whoops I left the airport and the day reset. Ruby’s moving in! I’m not mad about Ruby but I do wish we wouldn’t automatically get a 10th villager. I wish I could hang out at 9 or 8 for a while. Kiki literally moved out yesterday, I think? And somebody new is already here.

i hate how we can only wear one face paint design at a time. like what if i want rainbow bangs and a heart on my cheek, nintendo? 😠😔
Ikr! Some facepaints like cute bangs example, does not have a cute blushy cheek so i need to search one, and sometimes they only available in one hair color.
 
im still annoyed that raymond's glasses aren't available as an item. they're the only ones in-game that perfectly match my irl pair. :/
 
I find it annoying how when you're trying to look for villagers to give them gifts you don't seem the around most of the time. Also if you do find them they are sitting down and you cannot give them gifts when they are sitting down.
 
So sad they didn’t add Resetti.

Wouldn’t it be nice if when you needed a rescue, the ground would open up with a pipe, and resetti would pull you in, and then plopped you where you chose? Then the pipe disappears, but we still get to see resetti for a second. It also makes more sense since he is a construction mole. It fits his role better than the helicopter.

Anyways, just random shower thoughts.
 
i'm still a little upset that you need to do online trading to get all of the colors of the nook miles items. I always intended to have Nintendo online but I'm a little sick of the cash grab stuff implemented.

This is the main reason I joined TBT in the first place. Everyone I've traded with here has been awesome but I get sooo nervous (social anxiety is such a delight lol) and feel bad for those who can't afford (or just don't want to drop money on) online. I'd be happy to spend double the NMT on other colours/variations if I didn't have to deal with it.

It was apparent it was a cash grab when they didn't even make a workaround for additional islands. Just 'Buy my $400 system to make another island.'
 
It's really been annoying me lately how difficult it is to get a campsite villager to move in. Isn't that literally the whole point of the campsite? Why do I have to talk to them 900 times only to MAYBE get them to THINK about moving in? Then they change their mind and you have to go through the whole thing again??? HUH??? And don't even get em started if you lose their game.

Yeah, and i rarely see campsite visitor too, Its very annoying.
 
I hate when I'm trying to pick something up and I end up kicking away part of the paths on my island. At least for the custom ones. I've had to fix the path in front of my house 3 times this week already. Why isn't the ability to get rid of it something limited to being in construction mode?
 
I hate when Tom Nook, Timmy, or Tommy follow you around the store. I’m not going to steal anything and it’s annoying. They also get in the way when you’re trying to look around, with them following closely behind you.
