The ACNH Rant Thread

It bugs me that you walk into the airport from the corner, but once inside you are in the center of the back wall. Make the geometry work!

I'm a little dismayed by the amount of new content that PC gets every month. I get that it's a mobile freemium game, but with NH's sales being as bonkers as they are you'd think that Nintendo would have all hands on deck churning out content and eventually DLC for New Horizon. You could genuinely turn this game into a long-term, multi-year cash cow if they wanted to.

I'm just not seeing that attention yet. I'm hoping it's all behind the scenes. The lack of furniture is one thing, but I'm just seriously curious why basic features like diving, gyroids, the Roost, Katrina, have to be so thoroughly time-locked (if they're even arriving at all!! the worst part is not even knowing!)

I feel like my personal problem with NH is the amount of things you can do daily or things that help you establish a daily routine.

For example, NL had a campground, Nook's Cranny, Able sisters + Label store, and Kicks shoe store that changed their inventories every single day. Plus, you have the Roost, Katrina, and Red. You could also return items back if you had the police station too. They weren't much, but it was small little tasks or things that at least gave you something to do.

So far, NH only has two stores + a visitor each day, which isn't much compared to NL. I found myself just not checking the game altogether for a while since there's a lack to things to check out each day.

I miss all of that so much!

Especially the RV's and items.

Photopia. What a waste of a great NPC.

I might regret asking, but what do you mean that you could return items back if you had the police station? You can actually track down who belonged to what lost item in New Leaf?

One of my friends had a police station in their town (I don’t have it) but they did mention a lost and found or something like that, so I don’t remember what they said or how it worked so I’m assuming that’s how it worked? Idk

The police station in New Leaf did not help you find the owner of a lost item! If you brought in a lost item that you found outside, they'd hit you with some excuse about not being able to leave their post or something like that, even though they had a lost and found box right there. Which made them essentially useless, unless you preferred asking which npc was visiting over simply running a simple circle around your town. There wasn't much space for the visitors to hide anyway.

To find the owner of your lost item, you just had to go around talking to literally any villager because you couldn't even inspect the item and get a clue. Fun times!

But I'm getting off track: the police station was basically what the recycle box is in New Horizons, except it took up space in your town in the form of a wooden shack or a concrete cylinder.

That's what I thought. Which is why I was confused about lost and found items. Because lost items didn't show up in the police station! I do like the new inspect feature in ACNH. It makes it easier to track down the owner.

Oh! No. It was just a place to find spare items. The game called it a lost and found, but you didn't return those items to anyone.

I always picked the wooden one in New Leaf because it looked more natural to me.

I wish we could zoom out a lot, at least while terraforming. sometimes I have to walk far away just to see how an area turned out as a whole ;u;

 

[PumpkabooPie]

I totally agree they excluded the tropical fruit in what is supposed to be a tropical paradise game! I was actually really hoping for optional biomes before the game released because I wanted to make a mountainous town and thought the fruits could be biome based! I feel very subjected to the island paradise/resort theme which conflicts with my building mindset in turn.

I'm still disappointed that it seems we'll never get the fun and flashy items from Pocket Camp in NH and the updates are slow and lacking.

It's sad that I'm more excited to decorate for fall and winter in Pocket Camp than NH. Even with less items (I play free), I feel like there's more variety. I don't need an air conditioner in 8 different colors... I want stuff I can use.

NH gave us the ability to place outdoor furniture.... but gave us very little actual outdoor furniture to work with. I don't want to have to time travel months ahead just to get seasonal items for now, and I fear the PC Halloween stuff is going to be better than NH's.

I felt this. When I started NH I was so excited to see them do stuff like they do in pocket camp, but to my surprise they didn't. I was super disappointed in the lack of variety with outdoor furniture in NH

I'm hoping beyond hope that NH gets the PC treatment in the future. 20 or 30 new seasonal items per month would just be so great. What if you were able to get a fortune cookie with 5000 Nook Miles that let you roll for one of those items? Boom, Nook Miles are in play again.

Please let me rotate the camera when I'm trying to take photos outside

YESSSSS. I NEED THISSS.

On another note:
I find myself wanting new furniture so bad. I’m frustrated that some of my favorite items are in ACNL or Pocket Camp and I can’t use them in ACNH. I just want gloriously giant 5-star items or adorable little food items for my outside decorrrrrr.

 

[Selene]

Little to do except fish, catch bugs, and pick weeds atm
Then again, it's only my second day with this game. I feel like new leaf had a lot more content.

I think the games RNG messed me over for 2 days. My move out window was supposed to be today. I think it landed on Tex. Tex was SICK. I’m low key annoyed that I have to wait until Sunday for another pull...

Just a headsup that I'm pretty excited about the Fall update. Another 50 or so Halloween items is pretty cool in my book.

Fingers crossed there's a spooky/creepy set too...

Not really a rant, but it's interesting to see how much unhappiness and dissatisfaction people have with their islands in comparison to the old games. On the sidebar of this site, only 7 people who voted were totally finished with their islands. A majority were only 20-50% finished! It's like being given so much freedom has been overbearing rather than creatively liberating..

I think it is more than that. There is so much perceived pressure to make a perfect themed island that I think it is accidentally causing anxiety. I wish we could have a few different non-themed dream addresses for people to explore so they can see that they don't need the same items that everyone else has.

I don’t know if that’s a measure of dissatisfaction. I’m fairly satisfied at 60-70% complete. It just means I’ve got more ideas for my island! I can’t vouch for everyone but I wouldn’t equate completeness with satisfaction.
