The ACNH Rant Thread

Apparently Nintendo's fixed the glitches including the zen bridge, villager bubbles, missing wetsuits at Nooks. Has anyone seen these things since the update to confirm if it's true?

If so, Nintendo really hopped on fixing those glitches fast for the first time ever.

I kept o getting villager bubbles after I talked to them but now they are gone.
 
I've removed the posts that looked likely to spark a fight.

Just a reminder that when reading someone's comments please take a moment to consider why they might think a certain way. While adults for a long time made up the majority of our user base, ACNH has brought in a wave of people from a younger demographic (think 13-15 years old). Some of them will simply not have had exposure to certain topics and are encountering them for the first time through our community. Rather than reprimand them, it is better to politely educate them and help them to broaden their mind.
 
It might be an unpopular opinion but I absolutely hate the new fishing tourney.

For starters it’s not even a tournament or competition. The rewards are just an incentive to go and catch a bunch of fish on a certain day.

Plus so tedious to dig up a bunch of clams and craft them into bait each time you want to participate in a round. And you have to do this because that’s the only way you’re going to catch more than 3 fish in 3 minutes and minimise the amount of times your going to have to do this stupid process.

The amount of times you’re going to have to dig up clams, craft and then fish is crazy to get all the rewards on offer. You’ve basically just got to grind the game for the day.

Maybe I’m alone here, but doing the exact same process again and again and again - for hours, just isn’t my idea of fun.

Couldn’t agree more. Fishing is my favorite activity in NH but the fishing tourney is my least favorite thing. The grind isn’t fine or rewarding enough.

A solution that might not make everyone happy but it would make me happy would be a longer time limit and bait being not allowed. That way you don’t have to worry about making bait and can just try to catch as many fish as ya want. Maybe you even get bonus points based on rarity. Also, make it so the villagers are getting points throughout the day too so there’s actually something you’re competing against.

I do like it more than the old fishing tourney where you could just stock up on fish and basically do nothing except hand in a months old catch on the day of the event
 
For all the amazing lighting effects this game has, it's really a shame how you can't use lights indoors with the main light off to make a room glow. I used to love doing that in New Leaf and a lot of the lights in that game gave off different tones and it really helped to get the particular feel you want in a room. You could even use the lava lamps to make the room glow in the colour of the lamp. I could be missing something though since I don't have every furniture item but none of the lamps or candles I have do anything to the room but just glow in its own little spot, and the rest of the room is dark blue :(

I'm probably the only one with that problem but it makes me feel less immersed in designing my house to be honest.

I have that problem too. There are some animated wallpapers that look really cool when the lights are off, but then the rest of the room looks too dark. I've been trying out different lamps hoping that some of them might light up more of the room, but nope.

On the topic of lighting, I wish there were more wall lights in the game. There's only a handful, and most of the furniture sets (that even have lamps) only have floor/table lamps, unlike in New Leaf where a lot of sets had both.
 
i haven't really had any other major problems worth posting in here until YESTERDAY. my friends and i were doing the fishing tourney together, and there was some kind of glitch going on where fish would either immediately turn and disappear when we threw the rod, or another one where the fish would not be able to see our rods at all. wild.
 
Spent 5 hours resetting for the ideal map layout + fruits + airport colour combo. Why are 90% of my airports blue??? Do not want.
 
I do know that most recipes can only be gotten from villagers with a certain personality type, so if you have like, 3 lazy villagers, you'll end up with a lot of duplicates of some recipes while possibly missing out on others. If you have more than 1 jock type, and your friend has more than 1 normal type villager, this could explain why you're both getting these so often!

For the ranty part: My sisterly villager keeps refusing to start crafting a shell stool, and I missed out on playing the day after Flip, my jock type, left. Now I'm stuck with 3 normal personalities because Merengue moved in... and I'm not getting any jock type DIYs anymore :mad:

Ohhh that’s good to know! I do have quite a few lazy type villagers so maybe that’s their favorite DIY recipe haha.

100% agree.

It was the most boring thing so far apart from crafting.
 
The Fishing Tourney could use some minor upgrades. Digging up manila clams alone is a tedious process. Making bait out of them is time consuming. Being able to make fish bait in bulk would be an ideal process. However, I feel that wouldn't really do much for time constraints. Especially if you're sharing an island. So here are some of my suggestions that I doubt Nintendo will see, but maybe in the future it'll happen.

  1. Like Flick, CJ should be able to tell you how many points you have without having to buy something from him.
  2. CJ should be able to sell you fish bait in single use (which I'm not sure why you'd want to buy that), as well as bulk. In doing so, instead of using Bells to buy this fish bait, make it to where he'd accept Nook Miles or use the Fishing Tourney points that you have accumulated. The Fishing Tourney points you buy the fish bait with wouldn't go against your max score. CJ would still recognize how many points you've accumulated max.
  3. CJ should be able to sell you a special fishing rod, or go the route of Ocarina of Time, a fishing lure that would make fish more likely to bite. So the fish would go for one or two bites rather than possibly making you wait for the 5th bite.

I don't know. I wouldn't wish for Nintendo to remove the Fishing Tourney in future games because it's been a thing since the first Animal Crossing game. It's just something I'm not a fan of because of how tedious it is. Bug-Off by comparison didn't take that long, whereas the Fishing Tourney takes many hours.

You're definitely not alone. A lot of people hate it. It's a step down from what it used to be. And what it is now is just a rehashed version of Club Tortimer's fishing tour.
 
I also wish they'd tweak the fishing tourney. Fishing can be a slow process to begin with and putting a 3 minute timer on it just makes it frustrating. I even preferred the bug-off since I didn't have to 1. Run all the way to the ocean or a river to actually start, 2. Get distracted by rare bugs and 3. Have to worry how long it will take the dumb fish to notice my fishing lure right in front of them!

And CJ's dialogue, oh, my goddd. He talked SO much it drove me bonkers. Every single time I had to go through pages of dialogue just to say that yes, I caught some fish. Then more dialogue to sell them. Then more when going into the "something else" menu and then more to exchange my points! And what's the point of it costing 500 bells to enter? And the 3 fish bonus thing? That does nothing but add more repetitive dialogue! Rrrrrrrrr.

On a positive note I do really like the music!

I don't know about you, but I can usually catch more than 3 fish in 3 minutes without bait. If you run east to west, on the beach your bound to keep finding more fish. The hard part is the fish counter doesn't increment until you're holding the fish.
