The ACNH Rant Thread

[Dunquixote]

This is not really a rant but more of a /facepalm. I just submitted my starry snaps entry and i just realized that I forgot the equip the wand that I wanted to use (though I guess that doesn’t matter if I am sitting). Also, I am bothered that I look evil when using bashful emote lol

I also wish we had more color options for one design
Thanks!

Why can't I buy more than 5 of something at a time? I've been redoing my island and going through hundreds of customization kits, and buying them is so, so incredibly tedious. The dialogue-based menus in this game in general are just a huge, clunky, user-unfriendly mess. I don't even want to get into the airport menus...

In PC, when you make a layout change, you had the OPTION to UNDO and save, or to implement changes.

WHY isn't this a basic terraforming feature?

Autosave is ruining this game.

Get rid of it, for the love of the emperor!

It would also be useful when trying out different layouts in the rooms of your house. Sometimes I revamp the whole thing only to dislike the result and want to go back to how it was previously.

Bulk crafting needs to happen - for fish bate and medicine at least! Its exhausting!!

I wish you could grab more nook mile tickers from the machine not just one at a time

I know this sounds silly, but I wish bushes could stack in your pockets. The amount of bushes I've dug up from flattening just wastes so much space.

 

[Starboard]

It's weird how you can stack 30 rocks and pieces of wood but you can't stack flowers or clams. And how you can store giant sharks but not flowers or trees. And how the terraforming tools last forever but the normal ones break. I think I wouldn't be so annoyed at these restrictions if it was at least consistent? Otherwise they feel more like oversights or just an obvious way to slow you down.

That's my question. You're telling me I can buy thousands of turnips in a single transaction but somehow reusing that same "how many" mechanic at Nook's would kill the game? Oh wait I know. The developers wanted me to go in and buy 5 kits every day until I rack up enough to customize what I want, right? At this point they may as well play the game for people on YouTube instead of selling it.

Adding to this, multiple presets for rooms would be GREAT! I'm so hesitant to change up a room at all because I might want to go back to the old design someday and it's quite limiting. It would be nice to, say, be able to swap out a kitchen for a seasonal room and back without having to take everything out and put it back where it was...

This is kind of a whine... But I REALLY wish we were given a greenhouse building to store some flowers or bushes in.
So after alot of talk with some animal crossing people on another site, I decided to just wipe my current island and re design it with my idea I have instead of deleting it and restarting which I suppose sounds smart with the diys and item catalog and all that. But... I decided I want to breed my own flowers in a controlled way because I have a color code I am wanting. In order to get to that.. I need all my bushes and flowers gone.... And oh how there are so many flowers.... Some of them I can use in my idea but... i need a place to store them safely out of my way because I need to terraform with this idea. I know we have the beaches... but that does get in the way of buildings that need to be there for now, items that won't fit in storage, and clams for bait.. ( I still have 1 pier fish to catch) Bushes can't go in the sand...
The greenhouse dream.. if it only held 20 plants I would be happy. And I don't see why we can't upgrade it. And some people like to rotate bushes out for seasons ( which I may do that if I had a green house )
Storage could start at 10 then up grade through crafting or buying to storage of 20, 30, 40, 50 slots.

I hate the difference between pulling up flowers from the ground (so you can replant them) and picking flowers. I keep messing up and picking them when I just meant to move them. I know they grow back but it's so annoying.

 

[cabbagehead]

I'm sure there's been plently of people mentioning the lack of furniture, so yep. I haven't really bothered with fixing up my house due to sets missing. Hopefully they'll add at least some of them with updates.

There's a bunch of beetles I can't seem to get. The ones I'm missing largely spawn on palm trees and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I have a bunch of palm trees in my town but they never spawn on those and I mostly get drone beetles on them. I've tried islands (including pulling up all the other trees and even bringing over extra palm trees, lol) and nothing. There's a couple of them I've managed to see but only once and I haven't seen the others at all. It's so frustrating! They're going to disappear soon and while I guess it's a reason to play the game again next summer, it's still kind of a bummer.

It's kind of annoying that you can't be 'transformed' to use the changing room, wardrobe, dream function etc. It seems like it wouldn't be difficult for the game to automatically change your outfit for you to do those things (eg appear in a dream in your default outfit, and wake up in the wand outfit). If we can change our clothes with a magic wand then undoing that in a dream or changing room isn't an unrealistic idea.

Really really hoping nintendo creates a patch or some kind of stability fix for the frame rate drops. For a game that emphasizes building up your island, it's ridiculous that after a certain point the area will just start to lag! The more I build, the more it lags, at this point I don't even want to bother finishing decorating. Also it's not even just like placing one more item causes the lag, it's like I leave and come back and the whole area's just laggy and no matter how much I remove it's just stuck like that ugh... and don't get me started on when there's weather patterns like heavy wind, like 60% of my island is almost unbearable to play during the day now.

Now that dream addresses are back, I visited some of the very decorated Japanese islands, and man the lag on their islands is even worse than mine... I have no clue how they can stand playing the game as it tbh

Is anyone else sort of excited for August to end because this means we'll have three villagers crafting again on Sundays? XD I really don't understand the development team's choice for villager crafting to halt completely on event days...

I literally spent 3 hours tonight running round the bamboo mystery island farming palm tree spawning bugs to try and catch all the ones leaving in August.

And after 3 hours I finally found 1 Hercules stag.

After 3 hours of intense grinding and forcing bugs to respawn, finally the RNG chucks out one rare bug.

I can’t believe this game sometimes.

Yeah. It's somehow possible to spend hours grinding and get nothing. I don't even have the Hercules stag yet

I know it’s crazy. I’ve given up on the other bugs. I’ve got better things so do with my life lol
