ACNH Pet Peeves and Petty Complaints Thread

[VanitasFan26]

I dont mean to offend anyone and I dont think its bad content at all that people want.
But I do find it somewhat funny that that content that I have always found the most expendable and kinda worthless, like brewster, stuff I never cared about and found boring. Stuff that apparently I agree with the developers on, is these huge things that should have been in the game at the start.

For me, its as small as the grass being a slightly different shade of green than other games and being upset over it.

I found brewster fun for all of 1 week before.
Considering he only ever gave 2 minutes tops of content. That's 14 minutes of fun in the whole game.
He was empty content for me.
I did not and have not cared he was not in this game.

I look forward to my 14 minutes of fun when the patch comes but yeah.
Empty content.

So I just find it funny that its a big deal for some.

But as for the updates.
I do think its a shame.
I think this game will go down as a not so great entry in the series.
Not because its not so great. Its the best animal crossing game ever made.
But people who played at the start and then quit, won't have seen all the updates and won't know just how great it is

I know you may not think about it too much but, just try to understand. When you been playing this game for so long and you've done everything there is to do you have to ask yourself "Why am I still playing this game?" This is one of the reasons why I took a huge break last year from this game because I know that I tried to force myself to enjoy the game, despite everything being mostly the same from last year. I learned that it wasn't worth it and I took another break just so this game would get a big update and when the The Roost update was announced I was really excited that it happened.

Also keep in mind they said "More" so that means that its not just The Roost and Brewster that they will talk about, but they will talk about what will they will do with the game going forward. 2021 has been a slow year because all the updates we've gotten was just seasonal items and minor updates to events we've played in the past. I know you may not see it that way, but for the vast majority of people see it so. So its a good thing that they are finally giving a big update that will hopefully bring back those people who quit on the game.

Finally, its important to keep in mind that Nintendo can be unpredictable sometimes. They may announce things that could be out of surprise or out of nowhere in a way could benefit the game going forward. I don't always believe rumors, leaks, and speculations so I take them with a grain of salt and go in with a open mind just so I won't be disappointed. I too want something more than the The Roost, something that will make the game a lot better going forward.

For the if and why I still play part, I just have to think of any other game, that's not an mmo I pay monthly for.
I've not played a single game that's not animal crossing for more than a month.
Even if I played it for hours every day that month.

I think its completely unfair to expect a company to make a game that lasts more than a year of fun and excitement.

Also, you have no statistics at all to say the vast majority. You just mean that you've seen people want more. And of course they do.
Its why the pop growing fans got wild world, then city folk, and new leaf, and then new horizons.
Every fan of every game wishes they had more.

But for those of us who lasted a year with this game. The year was a blessing. And frankly if we got a year of fun. We should have paid more for it.

To each their own I guess, but just so you know that the game needs to keep being updated with new stuff to do and to keep it refreshing. I don't want to come back to this game experiencing the same stuff, I just want there to be more stuff to do that doesn't make me feel the need to keep coming back every often. That is why I am taking a break from the game for the 10th time.

I know you love this game and I am not trying to tell you to think a certain way, please don't misunderstand, but know this the game has gotten stale throughout the year and I know you are not interest in The Roost but most people are. I don't want to start another argument, but my point still stands. The game needs to have a reason for those who stopped playing the game and want to experience something new.

This has always bugged me. We can pick up a fully grown tree with a shovel so why can’t we pick up a rock. I love that we can have them spawn somewhere else but it would be easier if I could just pick the rock up instead of breaking it.

 

[Shawna]

Why can we only buy one piece of candy per day?! -.-

 

[SoftCrowbar]

I wish when I was island hopping to find a smug villager I didn’t get repeats of villagers I’ve already seen on previous mystery islands. I got Fauna and Zucker twice and while I love both they just weren’t what I was looking for. And on top of that I didn’t even run into any smug villagers even though I hopped 11 times

 

[machina]

I hate that we can't flip/reflect custom designs. makes designing custom paths way more annoying than it needs to be lol

 

[VanitasFan26]

Solution. Add Residents to your island and when you play as them you can get multiple Candy. Also if you visit someone else's island you can get another piece of candy. I do it all the time I have a lot of candy in storage.

 

[bcmii]

We should have paid more for it.

Um...I think we're just going to have to agree to disagree here. That's a big no from me.

 

[Feraligator]

I won't have seen green grass for the entirety of this year since I haven't played since February lol

 

[Jessi]

Why does acorns and pine cones seem to hard to get?

Also, I haven't played New Leaf, so thank god for Brewster, because I never got to experience the café at all! lol Plus, getting to discover new flavors of coffee everyday? Heck to the yeah. That's not boring at all. lol To each their own indeed. It's a slice-of-life game with slice-of-life stuff like discovering flavors of caffeine and learning new stuff about bugs from Blathers and discovering some new piece of dialogue from your favorite villager; the little things and all. So I do find it strange that a complaint about this kind of stuff would be "boring" of all descriptions, 'coz it's supposed to be that kind of game. I'm someone who can be pragmatic and doesn't care for pointless stuff sometimes, but I came into Animal Crossing specifically because I enjoy that kind of relaxing pointlessness where you just have fun over unimportant things (rather than just stress over winning prizes and competitive stuff like that).

Anyway, getting off-topic.

Petty complaint of the day: I hate roaches. I just love how Nintendo must've knew players would exploit the time-travel/moving out technique, and so had roaches appear 30 days after you don't play, the same amount of days that guarantee 100% chance of villagers having thought bubbles about moving out...

So, with this new update, I just thought of something petty to add, haha.

I know that I've spoken about this on another thread already, but I feel like Kapp'n's tours are a bit redundant considering we already have a nearly identical feature. Like, I love Kapp'n and I am SO excited to see him again. It's just that when they were explaining the tours, I was like why didn't they just tack this on as a selectable option as part of the original mystery tour feature? It seems a bit convoluted and confusing to split them into two separate features, when they are essentially the EXACT same thing with only minor differences.

Oh well, at least we get to see Kapp'n again!

 

[DJStarstryker]

My complaint is I'm still annoyed at Nintendo that they still haven't made a cart checkout system for the shops, but especially for Able Sisters. I seriously doubt it is included in the upcoming update so I feel it's fair to complain about!

I also hate that we can only order 5 items from the catalog per day, and that the items available in the Special Goods section of the Nook Shopping app counts against that.

Ooh! I've never thought about that! That would be an amazing!

I’m hoping there’s more to it because if it’s just getting islands with different seasons or time of day, it’s pretty underwhelming. I’m thinking this is why they patched out the special islands from last year like the hybrid flower islands. The update will probably switch all the special islands to Kapp’n and then the old mystery islands will now contain just villagers looking for a home.

Yeah, I was a bit underwhelmed with Kapp'n as well. But I've seen a few people mention the possibility of mini games and other multiplayer activities being added to those islands later in a 'minor' update, most likely in the summer. Of course, that's only mere speculation, but I could definitely see it happening!

 

[Mad Aly]

My 'petty complaint' is that November 5th is too far away... (Of course, I know that the wait will be beyond worth it for this update! I'm just impatient, lol... )

 

[Lauryn]

I miss Gracie Grace and i want to have designer furniture sets

 

[Khaelis]

Heck Timmy and Tommy for not giving me the island layout I want on the first attempt.
