The ACNH Rant Thread

[Kattastic]

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.

No problem! I definitely wouldn’t recommend putting non-reorderable items in the wand, and trading villagers should be done at your own risk.

Here’s the video of Wilbur the money thief:

I don’t have a picture of the magic wand but it’s been reported a lot on ACNH discord servers.

The magic wand deletes clothes.

Does it really delete clothes, or did you mistake the fact that it holds the clothing? When it holds clothing, the clothing is in the wand, and not your inventory or storage.
Nevermind

I was very slightly annoyed about this, since I wanted to use the same shoes or socks for multiple outfits. But then I simply ordered extra through the catalog. Problem solved!

The only thing bothering me is that I have to have crafting materials in my inventory to craft. There's too many to always keep in my pockets and it's kinnndddaa annoying to take specific materials out of storage every time I want to craft something.

My only major gripe is the rate at which tools break. Super frustrating that you can't gather an islands worth of wood with a stone axe without it breaking a 1/3 of the way through. I'm really hoping that later on there will be unbreakable tools.

 

[Nodokana]

Trading is such a process compared to New Leaf. x.x Learning curve ahhhh.

There are still projects you can build right (like bridges?) Other then that, you can basically place almost everything outside to create your perfect town. Islands tours isn`t that expensive (its really easy to earn those Nook miles). You can still make bells relatively easy, although Tortimer Island was more convenient. But if you go fishing around the shore, you can just pick out the right shadows and you will make a decent amount of money.

There are still things to unlock and where some key feautires might have been left out (we can`t really be sure yet appearently), a lot of new stuff has been added in.

That said, its still your choice if you find this enticing enough to buy and play this game. Even though this game has a slow start, I have really enjoyed the build up personally and just when I was ready to move on, RS is being build. I feel it is paced quite well, but that is according to my taste. Everybody has their own tastes.

Why do you insist on them bringing back artwork if you have no interest of looking at it in your own museum anyways?
Maybe the delay wasn`t related to the graphics, but maybe getting out some bugs, localization stuff since there are a million available languages, etc. We don`t know.

Collecting things is fun, I enjoy blathers facts when I donate something, I would actually go back to see the art work from time to time but the bugs and fish I see enough personally. Plus it's tied to Redd is Redd even on this game?

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.

This game is so slow putting all my complaints about it aside I really don't see first time fans enjoying this game all that much at least in compared if their first ac was any of the other main line ones.

All I want is a peach chair and it's going to take me forever to get the recipe for it, then the fruit.

 

[cornimer]

Did they take away the "I wonder what my encyclopedia has to say about my new catch" thing? I found that really useful, I never know if I've caught something before or not.

 

[Zanreo]

They kept something similar, your character will say "Yay" at first when catching a new fish/bug

In New Leaf, in the years I've played I've NEVER seen a tarantula. Which is fine, cuz I'm arachnophobic. But in New Horizon, it's not safe to run in my gd town at night because there are now tarantulas which took me by surprise as I ran out of my house, ran towards the shop and this black dot chased me bit me and I fainted. Was. Not. Cool.

 

[Hermione Granger]

I hate what has become of the tools in this game. It is absurd that they break no matter what level they are on (flimsy, pretty good, and gold). It is annoying to have to grind and have them break.

The tarantulas only chase you if you're holding your net. Walking around your island at night without a net should fix this!

At this point, all my complaints have already been said. I know they put a ton of awesome new features in NH, but I can't help but think about the features that the game's missing that were in New Leaf. Really missing Brewster, museum art, swimming, the Dream Suite...

Also not a fan of tools breaking. Very bummed to hear that golden tools probably break too.

the game is fun and i enjoy playing it, and the effort put into the graphics makes me happy. so i hate to say this, but its just not as good as new leaf!! they had such a good thing going with NL and had the opportunity to take all the great things from that game and enhance them and bring them over to NH but they dropped the ball. and i can’t understand why because it took them like, almost a decade to make this game. its just kind of disappointing. and honestly, this game is kinda boring.

the thing that bothers me the most is that the characters don’t form relationships with me and don’t ask me to do tasks for them. it gives me kind of a weird vibe? i’ve heard that this changes later on but i’ve TT’d and it has yet to change.

i send letters with fruit to my villagers every day and talk to them at least 3-4 times a day. so far, (off the top of my head) i've become good friends with kody (jock). my lazy, jock, peppy, and uchi villager have all run up to me once and given me something, with kody doing it the most. he's also asked me to find a fish for him, and to sell him something twice. my uchi has made a comment on my outfit and given me some clothing item twice as well. i think it just depends on interacting with them at lot.

i'm a bit peeved my residence service's is closing down tomorrow because i have to upgrade my house. i'm scrambling to try to get all the bells i need, and so far i think i only need 198k which i might be able to do tonight. it's a bit frustrating because i dont know if my nook mile's daily miles thing will reset because i wont be able to check it for a day, and im also missing out on the lil store there as well. at least i have a crafting table of my own. im thinking after i get my bells i'll grind for tickets and just do tours all day tomorrow.

I didn't know that, I usually run around with the bug net out to catch the random butterflies and what not. I'll have to remember that when night time hits.

I agree with every single one of the complaints posted in this thread, but the thing that made the most disenchanted about the game is the lack of NPCs. I honestly believe dropfeeding us seasonal events through regular updates is a great idea, I really do! But NPCs are a big part of what gives flavor to the series. Unlocking them little by little makes no sense to me, as their function takes up what? 10mins-1hr max. each week? (Assuming they come once per week as in previous games) and by the time they get on the game, what they add is so little that it doesn't make a big enough reason to play more regularly.

When the Welcome amiibo update came out for New Leaf I picked up the game for another week (this may just be me) and left it collecting dust after I experienced the novelty, I had already collected 900+ hours playing so the addition of new villagers with the same dialogue as previous ones and some cute new furniture wasn't a big enough reason to keep playing as much as when the game came out.

I like all the new customisation options, but now I'm starting to realise how much I loved the commercial aspect of CF and NL.

Ahh I didn't catch this, I'll keep an eye out! Thanks!

 

[meggiewes]

I feel like my rants are a bit different from everybody else's, but some are the same.

1. I wish making bells was harder in the game. They feel like they were harder to make in New Leaf.
2. I really want to make multiples on the crafting bench.
3. I wish we could customize furniture with clothing like Cyrus did.
4. It feels like putting bells in the savings part of the ABD is useless? You don't even earn any Nook Miles from saving. Even Phineas gave you a badge for large savings.
5. i miss the post office where mail comes twice a day.

there's not a single thing to do in this game except decorate ur house and town with very limited furniture bc for some reason they thought it'd be a good idea to get rid of furniture sets i guess? after the gimmick of crafting wears off there's barely any fun to be had outside of meets with friends and dressing up ur character

also there's only two goddamn shops on the entire island and they hardly sell any items whyyyyy this is such a regression. really disappointed about how devoid of features this game is, it really does feel like walking around on a desserted island. it's lonely.
