The ACNH Rant Thread

[mystery]

I’m a tad frustrated that flower species seem to now be as rare as fruits. I’ve gone on far to many island tours and have seen nothing but pansies and cosmos and the shop never has any roses or lilies. If flowers still spawned each day that would be one thing but waking up to school day to find out the shop doesn’t have the flowers I need is growing tiresome.

Also on topic of the island trips I started with oranges and was given pears by mom and I’ve yet to see a single island that didn’t have pears or oranges for 2000 miles I expect at least a little more variation.

Also sea shells no longer act like furniture when placed indoors

Let's not just spread false information like that without full knowledge. It was never confirmed Leif was gone forever.

TT'ing never does anything good for your villager relationships.

I suppose that while he wasn't confirmed to be gone forever, as of right now, his character model or any mention of him is nowhere to be found in the game's code. All we can do at this point is hope that he, alongside several other features, get added back in via updates. Because right now, IMO this game feels like a DOWNGRADE from New Leaf. Huge slap in the face to all the progress/innovation the series made with New Leaf. Still love the game a ton, but for being the successor of what was considered to be the best Animal Crossing game of the series, it's extremely lackluster. I guess we all got the wrong impression when we thought that this game was supposed to be an upgrade to NL (It is in some aspects, but far too many aspects were downgraded) .

I can't put my ranchu goldfish bowl on top of tables. The bowls with the red and the black popeyed ones work though. This is my biggest gripe with the game right now. lol

The only serious complaint I have so far for this game is the fact that the magic wand outfits remove the clothing items from your storage/inventory. So if I wanted to add pink boots to a wand outfit, I can no longer access those pink boots to wear with a random everyday look. I wish the magic wand just saved outfits without taking away clothing, because I like going to my wardrobe and picking an outfit from all the clothing I have stored, and do not want to buy duplicates for the magic wand.

Before update 1.1, dataminers couldn't find anything related to Brewster or gyroids. This seems to be evidence that Nintendo is adding more in through updates, and may be purposely holding back as to no spoil it. We can thank the data miners for this. They also could be holding back some content to further finalize and improve it seeing as we're not suppose to have those features in game yet. I've heard it said that the first Nook's Cranny upgrade takes about 3-4 weeks to unlock. So if they needed to, they could have even held that from us until it got close. If these other special NPCs exist, Nintendo will likely release them to us by the time we get close to the point in game where we unlock them. In the next month, we may see another software update that allows us to expand Nook's Cranny again.

I haven't seen anybody talk about the lack of pitfalls? Sure, they're annoying but they're a pretty iconic part of the franchise.

Let's hope! I've also heard somebody say on another thread that datamines cannot be 100% trusted. Apparently, data miners couldn't find any evidence of pitfalls in the game's code, but they were discovered yesterday by somebody playing. Can't find any information about the person who discovered the pitfalls, and I have to come across any in my game, so I am unsure if this is true. I think we just need to keep ourselves from jumping to get disappointed yet.

I can’t exercise with my villagers and that makes me sad

1. The fact that airport colors and island fruit can't be changed fails to address the resetting which many people go through in order to be satisfied. The river outlets, plaza, and beach sizes ALSO being permanent is a terrible decision as well.

2. Why the hell are the pole vault and ladder hidden until you meet Blathers and Tom Nook asks you to plot houses? These two should have been given by Timmy or Tommy when you were given the tent and a map at the beginning.

3. The haircuts are lacking. Literally only about 3 haircuts are interesting to me. That's it.

4. Nook Miles Tickets are expensive for what they are worth. You can go island hopping with 6 tickets only to find an island with a villager you don't like and flowers and fruit you already have. The odds of new fruit and flowers desperately needs to be adjusted. AT best the tickets should be priced at 1,000.

5. Why can't you take a picture with the background of the original photo on your passport?

It’s not exactly the same but if you jump a river for example and the other side has a hole you’ll fall into it just like a pitfall (I definitely intended to fall in I swear).

I ran into this yesterday, and angers me. I put my wand in storage. It's not worth it. I have a wardrobe item in my town I use to change outfits now.

My character wears glasses, which means I need to own the same pair of glasses for each outfit.

In New Leaf, we were eventually able to customize the train station building, and town hall. We may get something similar in New Horizons.

Part of Nintendo's plan to give us the slowest Animal Crossing tutorial in history.

That's Animal Crossing for ya. I am hoping to see more in the future, such as maybe Shampoodle selling you hairstyles to learn.

They are someone expensive, but with Miles+, it takes about 10 minutes or so to earn 2000. That's not too bad.

What was the original background? I can't remember. Maybe we just need to use a wall or pattern to make our own.

Okay, the magic wand thing makes me SOO mad. Like I was excited about the magic wand feature, but NOPE, they took something that should've been simple and straightforward and made it complicated. That's Nintendo for ya... I got so confused when I tried to use it and it took away my clothes. I hate how it wouldn't let me use those specific pieces of clothing for anything else. Don't even get me started on how when you try to change your clothes when wearing an outfit assigned to the wand, it hits you with the "I'm sorry but you can't change clothes when you are transformed." Huh? Why in the world did Nintendo have to make it so complicated??? What a wasted feature.

Why are there so many GAME BREAKING glitches in this game? Trading villagers online can lock a plot (or multiple!) as “sold! ‘S new home” for eternity, with no 100% fix (only a player-made one that works for roughly 50% of people). Items can glitch on top of each other. The magic wand deletes clothes. Randomly, some people are getting signs on all their villagers doors that say “I’ve moved out” and never fix. The dodos can take your bells to 0 when you talk to them. You can glitch into the wall at Nook’s Cranny. And don’t get me started on duping & the multiple disconnect glitches on online.

What are the details for the magic wand and Dodos glitches? I hadn't heard those.

Extremely disappointing that this game took 9 extra months to perfect, only for it to be lackluster and broken. This honestly doesn't seem like something Nintendo would do to us...

Some people have been experiencing 1 or more outfits getting wiped by the magic wand wand, but the clothes don’t show up in your inventory or storage. & The dodo glitch happens randomly when you talk to the dodo who flys you to the island (forget his name) and say “nah, I’m good.” I can pull up screenshots of both from reddit if you give me a sec.

 

[pumpkinpuppy]

NH feels so, so slow and empty. Not Animal Crossing-time slow, but just sluggishly paced to a point it's just frustrating grinding for materials and nothing else. It feels like Minecraft with paywalled social interaction.

I'm not really blown away by this game. Compared to NL especially, this just feels dull and barren.

Ah, OK, thanks for the info! I don't have the magic wand, but I haven't seen any glitches with the dodos yet. I think I've said "nah, I'm good" to the pilot (Wilbur) once while on an island. I don't think I've actually said it to the one at the counter (Orville) yet.

Definitely sounds like it's a good idea to not put non-reorderable things in the magic wand though, just in case.

ME TOO. I was so excited to craft a magic wand but was super disappointed in the end. Like I said, this is the one thing in the game that I have an actual problem with. It really makes me mad. Its such a cool feature, I just wish they would fix this.

2. Why the hell are the pole vault and ladder hidden until you meet Blathers and Tom Nook asks you to plot houses? These two should have been given by Timmy or Tommy when you were given the tent and a map at the beginning.

THIS. I didn’t realize that I had to keep donating fish and bugs to nook in order to get blathers to show up, so blathers is coming tomorrow and today I ended up going on island tours with no way to cross the river. The first island I went to the villager was on the other side of the river and I was stuck with no way to get to him. But he wasn’t cute, so it was ok. Im SO LUCKY that Marina was on the side of the river that I could reach, otherwise I would’ve been devastated lol. But...yeah, the fact that this is even possible is dumb and a serious oversight by Nintendo.

I also got the shovel before blathers too, because the dodo sold me one on the tour

I have more rants but I’ll be back later.
