The ACNH Rant Thread

really annoyed with the flowers. miss the good ole days when you could just pick the whole thing up at once.
You can still do this if you use a shovel! Takes a bit of getting used to though, I keep just picking the flowers with Y.
 
Loving this game but have some new gripes.

Can't access the ABD on someone else's island?! I wanted to shop and didn't have enough for what I wanted so I had to go back to my island to get money out of the ABD and come back? Way too inconvenient. And the load screen is long when going between islands (although I think it replaces the saving screen from NL/CF).

You can't choose which rooms to add in upgrades like NL. In other games as well, the 1st floor was the first thing to be added. I believe the basement was 2nd and then you could choose. I don't understand why Nook is doing whatever on my home. This isn't too much of a problem I guess but in NL I was very specific with what rooms I wanted (only the back room) because my main room wouldn't have fit all the stuff it needed otherwise it would've blocked the entrances to the side rooms ...
AND, there doesn't seem to be an option to upgrade the extra room sizes? They're only 6x6, can I not upgrade them to 8x8 before I add another room? Is there even an option to upgrade them to 8x8?

I also miss the nice 11pm and 1am themes from NL (and 1am, 2am, 3am from WW/CF). Some of the new night themes are OK but have lost the emotion that I liked from them in past games.

As for my gripe -- while villagers have gotten better since I first started playing ACNH and don't get tired of me anymore, I've still only gotten 1 request. Marcie asked me to catch a river fish for her one day. Aside from that, nothing. ;; I get pinged a lot but only to teach me reactions and I really don't care about reactions.

After day 5, my villagers have opened up more to me. I can gift to the 2 starting villagers, and one of the villagers who moved in yesterday is already very vocal, and has even asked me to deliver something for him.

It's extremely odd why Nintendo has chosen to lock villager dialogue and hourly music the first week of playing. My Town Hall is being built today, so tomorrow I will have hourly music, which I have been dying to have. I may have only been playing a week, but I have probably played for over 40 hours now. So not having the hourly music is dreadful.

I wish there was a box of some sort by your airport and on the mystery island tour seaplane stops, so what you take back home is not limited to the amount of space you have in your pockets, you can stock up.

Our pocket sizes are pretty good if you prioritize inventory before going to the islands. I think adding an addition dropbox would be giving us too much. Plus, at some point, we will be able to unlock another 10 inventory slots for a total of 40. I think this happens when Town Hall is built. I'll find out for sure tomorrow.

The picking versus digging up flower thing is still taking awhile to get used to. At least they always grow back.

I'm sure I'm not the only one but I REALLY wish I could have more than 10 villagers. I understand why it's only 10 because of being able to have other players but I'm the only one on my switch, no kids and my husband doesn't play. Just seems so empty with only 10 :/
 
Spoilers for Pathing

Pathing doesn't connect to buildings like it did in that early trailer. Moving the building, putting down the path and placing it back down on the path doesn't fix this. I hate the awkward strip of grass.

Yea I was really upset with this too. I got the middle square of my path to go to my player homes stairs but the other sides wont go :c
 
DURABILITY. Shouldn't exist past the "flimsy" stage. Fake content loop providing no value, only inconveniences.

I don't mind crafting a new iron fishing rod, but the durability needs to be raised by at least 3x (from 30 uses to 90).

If anything, I think durability can stay, just give us unbreakable golden tools. I swear I will never use golden tools if I know they will break... Same with me hoarding good weapons in BOTW.

I am amazingly sick of the islands. I went to seven last night. 14k miles and not one had anything but my native fruit, native flower in basic colors, and no special fish spawn, money rocks, ect. It's just not fun :< I've only gotten one interesting island since I started playing.
 
this may just be me, but i personally don't like the new music. not the hourly nor the shop themes. i understand they were going for a more soothing and chill vibe with this entry in the franchise, but i can't help but miss the quirky accordian of WW/CF. everything feels so slow and empty. even the mystery islands theme sounds kinda lifeless in comparison to the hyperactive new leaf island theme lol.
