The ACNH Rant Thread

When a villager moves to another town, all their clothing and furniture should reset. That way they are all "original." Or, allow us the option to buy back clothing/furniture options we don't like and erase it from their storage.
I'm almost entirely sure that's true for the house, however it appears they can keep some of the clothes they've been given.
I'd be more than happy if there's evidence this can't happen though...

It's not true for the house as well, though! A while ago I adopted Deirdre from someone here on the forum and she still has solve stuff in her house that were gifted to her in a previous town. I don't really mind though, since I will just give her other stuff and it only adds to the character of her house :p
 
The villagers need to get updated, like ASAP. They're way too bland in this game. It's fun to talk to them and stuff, but it does get boring after a while, and the villagers complain when you talk to them like 3 times??? Who greenlit this????
Someone already probably ranted about this but this is annoying me soooo much. Like legit.
 
This crap right here.

Like what's this mess? So in order to get the colors, you want or need for your island, you basically have to trade these non customizable items with people online, and in order to trade online you have to have a subscription which you pay for. That's some shady nonsense right there. Yes, I know it's not a lot of money, but people shouldn't be forced into paying it in order to get color they need for their island in a game they already paid 60 dollars for.
 
why are the waterfalls soo fricking loud omg
i hope they turn down their volume someday because i really like the ac music and sound effects but i hate playing with music on parts of my island because all i hear is "ssssssssssssshhhhhhhhh" ;;
also please give me a higher incline limit!
 
Honestly and truly I just want my villagers to be villagers again.
If I talk to someone twice in a row they won't stop making comments about how I won't leave them alone that day.
Villagers just repeat the same dialogue daily, I haven't had a single villager say something they haven't already said.
They don't ask for you to visit their house or them visit yours.
No playing hide-and-seek.
Now, they do deserve some credit. It's fun to watch them interact with furniture outside, but besides that, there's nothing to them. They might as well be NPC's you can't interact with because that's what they feel like. Hollow.
 
I have a lot of general gripes and annoyances, such as the lack of exteriors that actually go together, gold tools breaking, and a lot of the other things mentioned in this thread. But lately, I've just been feeling sad. I logged into pocket camp for some reason, and seeing how frequently it's updated with new items and features... man, I know that the tides are turning towards microtransactions more and more, but when it's a company you really care about.. I know that Nintendo doesn't care about me, but I kinda feel abandoned. That probably sounds silly. I'm starting to doubt that we're getting any of the new features we've hoped for (the cafe, more expansions to Nook's Cranny.. seriously?).

I'm still enjoying the game, but it feels empty. They would need to release a *huge* patch just to make it feel right, and I don't know if that will happen.

still hoping for it, though. sorry to be so cynical, it just baffles me.

Edit so I'm not spamming~ ugh, I think I just realized what's going on. They didn't abandon us.. They're working on an expansion pack. If AC:NH was Pokémon, the little updates here and there are mystery gifts to tide us over. Again, I'm cynical and I hope that isn't the case, but... aaaugh.

Saharah. I have to initiate like 5 conversations again and again and again and again and again to get all the carpet/wallpaper that day, and I just wish she had a menu like Kicks or Leif so everything was just there.

Yeah, it sucks because I'm really passionate about Animal Crossing, and it's been something I've fixated on these last couple months. I'm hoping that after June, they'll announce a new update. Maybe with Brewster and diving for summer? It makes me sad because NL had so much stuff. So much furniture too. Same with Pocket Camp.
It feels really empty. My villagers might as well be cardboard cutouts, unfortunately. I still don't get why golden tools break either. That would have been perfect to finally not have to worry about constantly crafting/buying new tools. It makes me sad too

Ooooh yeah. My biggest fear with NH is that there will be a paywall to access features and items that were once just... part of the experience. I hate microtransactions and dubious DLC. Even right now with Pokémon, I'm waiting to see if people are getting their money's worth for the expansion pass, or if everything we're being offered should have just been part of the main game. I want to trust Nintendo, but money talks, and I don't know that they have a reason not to do that.

Unfortunately there already is a paywall. See my previous post with them separating the colors of items you can by with Nook Miles, them making them uncustomizable so the only way you can get the color you want is by trading online and the only way you can trade online is to pay for a subscription. That is itself is a paywall, just not not as subtle as most paywalls. It doesn't really effect gameplay but if you want a certain color of say the jungle gym or phone booth and you don't have it, you have no choice but to either trade online (that once again you have to pay for) or just deal with the colors you get.
 
Actually, you can stop get colors not locked to your island, but Nintendo made it unnecessarily complicated to encourage spending money on that subscription. Jolly Redd and trees can give you different colors, but good luck getting the furniture you actually want!
Yeah still sad it changed.
It is an odd change. Static's older frown fits him better. Reminds me of how Gabi strangely had her freckles turned into three-dot lines in New Leaf, but at least they brought back her older freckle layout in New Horizons (except her head icon, which still has the New Leaf appearance for some reason).

I really hope all updates are free, and they don't go the Pokemon route. I've been very disappointed with Nintendo's anti-consumer actions recently. I still believe the SwSh updates should have been 100% free since there is almost no endgame content in the original products
 
I am sick of the villagers making comments or implying that I'm obsessed with them if I talk to them more than once a day. Like you guys can watch me so much that you start gossiping about me planting bell trees or how many times my tools broke, but I can't talk to them twice in one day? 😐

Yes. This. So much this.
Like how’d they know I was digging rivers up on the third layer where none of them have every been. But god forbid I try to talk to them more than 3 times to try and get past the usual “OH is that a ladder” dialogue.
Who the heck thought commenting on your current tool with the same statement each day would be engaging! Just makes me not want to talk to them much 😒
