The ACNH Rant Thread

Why do scallops take forever to find... idk about other people but it takes me so long to find one of these guys so I can get my mermaid DIY for the day :/
 
Went over to look at my fireworks show screenshots and I have to post here about it because it bothers me.

The fireworks in my picture go behind the moon in the sky. I shouldn't have to explain why this looks extremely unnatural. Blegh, I'll have to make sure the moon isn't in the picture during the next one...​

I was surprised when I read this and went and looked at my photos, and saw the same thing! But then I looked really closely and as it turns out, they ARE over the moon but they're really bright so you can barely see them. I don't know if that makes you feel any better lol, it does still look funny.
 
Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the fireworks update. It’s been the most fun I’ve had in this game in ages. BUT I have to admit that I’m a little disappointed that the only updates we’ve had so far are just rehashes of things that shipped in past base games.

Idk just kind of hoping for something totally new at some point 🤷‍♀️

Ok I went and took a second look and if I really, really press my face against my switch I can see a slight tint of red on the moon. It does make me feel a bit better but unfortunately it still looks really silly in pictures. Kinda wish they took this in to account and made the fireworks brighter when they go on top of the moon. Hopefully since the next display isn't on a full moon it'll look less whacky.​
 
When you place the microscope down on a table, your character faces the specimen side. There's no way to rotate it, such that your character would actually be looking into the microscope. -_-
 
I also start to feel bad when I criticize the game. I still like it, don’t get me wrong, the graphics are amazing and you can terraform. I know that there are a lot of hard workers in Nintendo that made this game even possible, but some of the decisions are questionable. I think a lot of people are criticizing it because there is still a lot to be done and updated with.

When you invite a villager via amiibo, why do you have to keep crafting and giving them specific items so that they magically change their mind and move in over the course of three days? In New Leaf, all you had to do was scan the card and ask the, to move from the campsite. When I tried to get Cookie‘s amiibo to move in, she wanted this garden wagon with flowers I didn’t even have. I tried again and she asked for the same thing. Especially if someone doesn’t time travel, growing the flowers can be time consuming.
 
OK so Gulliver spawned on the west beach that is literally chock full of flowers...while east beach is empty. So his communicators appear on the beach on the other side of the island. Could he not have just spawned on the empty beach lmao? In fairness this is more funny than annoying, the parts are literally miles away from each other and from Gulliver
 
WHY are the pearls so difficult to get? ;_; I was diving all day, got a few backpacks of creatures and didn't get any, asdgh

Yeah, again more personal than a game rant, but... If that's the typical spawn rate, then how do they expect us to make more than one mermaid item ;_;
 
Flowers not being able to go in storage is the most frustrating, nonsensical thing about this game by far. (Paired with the fact that you need a shovel to dig them up/they don’t stack in inventory).
I know it’s been complained about to death at this point but every time I set out to do any landscaping on my island it drives me a little more insane.

For me it really just depends on the day. Some days I'll find one super quick, and other days it will take me a good few tries before catching one.
 
WHY in Nook’s good name does every player on the island have to share the same design space? It’s not anywhere near enough space to share with a potential eight players.

There are too many incredible designs out there to have to narrow it down so severely, and we can’t even make spare characters to store things like paths and signs either.

👏 GIVE 👏 US 👏 MORE 👏 DESIGN 👏 SPACE 👏 NINTENDO 👏
 
Sorry I know this has been talked about extensively but my biggest gripe with new horizons is the limited custom space and that it's shared between characters for some reason? It was absolutely soul crushing when I discovered this and it's causing so much distress trying to swap out beautiful designs to squeeze in pieces of a 30+ space custom path
 
Sometimes I wish all the RNG wasn't as... random? Because with true RNG we end up with stuff like people hardly ever finding pearls or getting too many from Pascal with no DIYs, getting all fakes at Redd's for weeks on end and getting the same clothes and furniture in the stores for months while never seeing other items that should be there. Yeah technically it's "fair" but there comes a point where it can be really unlucky and start ruining peoples' enjoyment.

Like, maybe have it like, for example the game should count how often we get pearls, and if you've found 20 sea creatures in a row it should force a spawn. If you get like 3 in a row from Pascal it should force a mermaid DIY.

wish there was more furniture sets, there were so many more in previous games. I dont see why they needed to cut a lot out.

Somehow we can put 100 sharks in our storage but not a flower plant. Lol it just makes no sense at all and makes me wonder if they just forgot to code it in or something.

Also I always put off moving them and watering them just because I'm so tired of my tools breaking. I've even stopped fishing because I'm so over having to stop what I'm doing, go to a DIY stump or keep one in my pockets and make 2 tools before I can continue. At least change it to one tool if they can't give us unbreakable ones.

Also why can't I customise the antique bed's sheets. I can't believe I have to leave it blank white, it almost looks like it doesn't have sheets at all. I swear this game is either very unfinished or there was abysmal communication between the developers.
