The ACNH Rant Thread

Wow I'm on a roll today...

Now that DIYs are brought up, why is collecting pinecones and acorns so tedious? I recently got a recipe for the leaf pile which requires 3 pinecones, and I must have spent 3 minutes straight mashing the A-button on a tree without even getting one! I got 40 twigs before I gave up and I'm actually starting to wonder if this is bad for the A button? It's probably not but it makes me angsty...

Also why do I need pinecones and weeds to make a pile of leaves!? Why can't I use the millions of leaves I just shook out of that poor tree!???? Or you know, twigs since they have leaves on them!?? Omg.
Yea it is a pain to find acorns and Pinecones. I usually shake a tree about 15 times and give up if I can only get twigs. It would be better if you could make the pile of leaves with twigs and weeds instead.
 
It's horrible how hard these are to get .


Just because I'm going to keep track of the items I get from balloons.

It was like this for the sakura themed diys for me. I didn't get a single one. Meanwhile the summer shells I got basically all of them. It's weird. I haven't played since the fall update so we'll see how common the fall diys are.

I have a couple of the cherry blossom DIY's and all of the summer ones. Ridiculous how I the ones I like I can't get.

Yes the cherry blossom ones were hard to get . I only got a few of those. Most of the DIYs I got at that time were the egg ones. I did manage to get all summer ones.

I am VERY annoyed at Nintendo for making getting certain island features (airport color, fruit, etc) such a frustrating process, forcing us to reset for insane hours if we want specific features. Especially after the game was delayed not once, but twice! It really wouldn't be that hard to let us choose a fruit and airport color at least!!!! That would help so much! On your flight in, have the nooklings ask you "What fruit do you see down on the island?" And then "We should be landing soon, what color is the airport?" Maybe throw in an "I don't know" option that randomly picks a fruit/airport color for people who like the randomness. Both of these are easy "pick" functions that even novice coders like me can do! Or let us move the town hall!!! Seriously, we can move every other dang building in the game but not biggest most important one that takes up the most space?! Shame on you Nintendo for putting in a random question at the beginning that has no effect on the game and not putting these options in! And if you try to use modding software to mod your island so you can get what you want, they ban you for cheating! At least offer a paid customization service where we can pay you to customize an island for us, if you are going to ban modding/save editing!!! I love this game because it fun and creative but I also have horrible OCD and want my island a certain way.

Other complaints I have:
-No batch crafting!! Ugh, this needs to be added. Making bait is PAINFUL!
-Beach terraforming - why is this not a thing?
-We need more furniture! Everything is so boring!
-Only 50 custom pattern slots? WTF?! We need at least 100!
-Why did they take out perfect fruit? And then put the fruit on our passport!
-Lack of NPCs like Gracie, Brewster, Tortimer, etc. We may see them in later updates though
-Why can we not customize town hall and/or the airport like we could in new leaf? Ugh...
-I miss changing the type of your house (ie castle, zen castle, modern, etc) - this was also in new leaf and not brought back!
-Stupid blocking boulder rocks on the beach! They are pointless, ugly as all get out, and you can't put furniture on them! Who thought that was a good idea?

The eggs really messed up the cherry blossom items.
Yes they did. They really should not have had both at the same time. Would have been better if they did two weeks for each. First two weeks could have been cherry blossom . Second two weeks could have been eggs .

Agreed. It was too much at once. That's why I'm trying to get these DIY's now, because I bet Halloween is going to be busy.

I agree, Nintendo seems to like rubbing in the whole "you don't have control over everything" mantra but I mean, it's a video game! If I want to be stuck with things I don't like, well I can just live in the real world 🤣

And as for NPCs I'm begging for Reese and Cyrus. Please change my ugly furniture colours for me pleeeeaseee. Sorry Nintendo but I hate the idea of trading for alllll these things. Lots of people find it fun but then lots don't, so they need to implement an alternative option to make it fun for everyone. Just please.
 
I'm gonna mini rant
So I skipped ahead to winter because I was too impatient to wait for frozen items but holy crap I hate snow boys now!
Like seriously what a bunch of picky little *****
(Got everything I need though thank God!)
Ok I just had to get that off my chest.
 
The dialogue/excessive confirmation to just visit islands (especially during back to back trades) really takes its toll on my wrist just to button mash 😡

There needs to be a button dedicated to storing items instead of having to click "put in storage" every damn time. Same thing with taking things out 😠😠

I just don't understand why in NL and even in PG you could drop 9 items max on the ground yet they took that QoL feature out in NH? Really why??

Wait, what do you mean with this part? I can drop nine items on the ground in a square around my character like I could normally. Or do you mean something else?

It's exactly that! Just highlight nine items in your pockets and you have the option of dropping them all. At least in the older games 😜
 
I hate getting repeats on mystery islands when I'm trying to fill a plot. Out of 182 islands, I got 40 repeats. 21% of the islands I went to had a villager I saw at least once this session.

If I have to use up 380 some tickets in a single day to get a villager, fine but I shouldnt be getting repeats in the same day.

Oh! I only started with New Leaf and I honestly never tried bulk dropping things. I didn't know that was a thing! I thought you ALWAYS had to do it one by one. 😅😆
