The ACNH Rant Thread

[BluebearL]

If you are dreaming of an island without flowers, then you would love mine right now! Isabelle keeps complaining because I'm not ready to plant more flowers. I finally put some on the third level to grow wild, but the rest are either in a fence or in between waterfalls. But most of my island is just bare!

Fully agree on the flowers, I had several areas entirely overrun with them because they spread worse than weeds. Rainy day? Congratulations on your 30 new flowers!

I spent like 2 weeks clearing out small areas at a time, tossing inventories full of flowers in the thrash (felt good, man) and I put a lot of effort into preventing flower spread with fences, furniture, and (invisible) patterns. I definitely recommend that. It has saved my sanity on rainy days!

(there are a few areas where my flowers are spreading again... )

I love the idea of keeping them on one tier for a wild aesthetic, your island does sound like paradise right now with no flowers!

And yes, rain is such a nightmare on nh! Just when you think you've tidied up your island the flowers come back for you...

I'm about to redo my entrance that was my flower storaging area because it was contained. I only kept a few of each hybrid for easy cloning but they still got out of control. Going to be smarter about flower blocking this time. I rather spend time to place down a stone path now and deal with removing it later than have the flowers go out of control again from the rain

Blocking them off is def a good idea, flower planting is more of a last step after (if ever) your satisfied or "complete" with your island design

I'm really surprised we've only gotten THREE new fences in the past 6 months? I think that fences are a huge game changer and the fact you can't customize their colors either is just... why have a DIY in the first place if you can't do anything custom with it

They teased us with a white fence in one of the early videos too. I'm hoping that it is a change they'll add in later.

Yeah I remember that too
There's also the mystery of this Mermaid fence...? I don't know much about it, but it would've been a great addition for more variety

The halloween stuff was ok at first, but where is the furniture?
The NL stuff and PC items are still superior to NH.

No masks?
No actual furniture?
No creepy bat stone, headstone, coffin, statue, etc.

Just a bunch of plastic pumpkin lanterns!

I want all of NL items and furniture back or I'm done.

Oh no I was really hoping for the gravestones and coffins to return In New Leaf I really wished I could put the gravestones outside, and now that we can they don't have them!?? I know there's already a grave we can craft but I liked how spooky the headstones looked.

It would have been awesome for them to release haunted house type furniture like the statue... Maybe next year they'll release some more things like that? Being really hopeful here...

I hate that Pocket Camp has trained brand new players into thinking about changing seasons and being able to collect seasonal DIY as "events".

Maybe it is just me being an older player, but I feel like people would have more fun with the game and feel less pressure if they got out of the " this is a limited event that is going away soon and I'll never see it again" mindset.

I'm kind of surprised that they haven't addressed two of the most complained about issues yet:

1) Not being able to craft multiple DIYs at the same time like fish bait.
2) Not being able to buy more than one type of clothing of the same kind (for example, being able to buy more than one shirt at the same time) in the dressing room of The Able Sisters shop.

Several months later and this is still my #1 complaint. It's so slow it's painful.

Exactly, it's like they don't listen to users' feedback at all if they won't even fix the most minimal of things that everyone's asking for.

I've seen a lot of islands where people have used optical illusions to create castles and palaces (pipe organs, silos, lighthouses, customized simple panels), but I want a real castle! Couldn't this be something you earn in game? Like, play 1,000 hours or stash 10,000,000 bells in your account and unlock a castle exterior for your house.

Also, more choices for exterior buildings generally. Maybe the ability to customize the exterior appearance of the shop and tailors, for example.

I do like that flowers don't die in NH, but the fact that they spread so easily is definitely frustrating. I know some people want massive flower fields. That's fine. But I don't. I hate having to dig up all of the excess new flowers every time it rains. I wish there was a way to turn that off somehow, other than having no flowers at all.

that feeling when you have the perfect present for a villager, but no matter what you do, how much time passes, etc., they're still sittin' their butt on that green bench in the plaza. why can't you gift villagers when they're sitting down? just get up, shari, i wanna give you these boots ;v

Why did they have to make the autumn grass look like dog vomit. They could have at least make the cedar trees change to a warmer hue so my town wouldn't look so mismatched

This x1000!! Autumn is my favorite season in real life and this color scheme in-game is kinda gross. The fruit trees don't look right either. I like the color yellow generally, but most of the yellow items in ACNH are not a great shade of yellow (I'm thinking of the wallpapers).

I don't know where else to post this, but I have a STRONG desire for a side ponytail wig. Nintendo, please, I'm begging you

They need to fix the years long loading screens. Even with a bare behind naked island the loading screens are ridiculous.
Two, the "You Got a Deal" and the "I want a closer look" options really need to be switched when buying art from Redd. My fast clicky hands repeatedly pressing A to get past the needless dialogue, almost screwed me over tonight. Luckily before another annoying aspect of this game (auto-save) managed to screw me even more, I turned the game off, after buying a fake painting. I mean, that could just a "impatient me" problem that affects no one else. XD

I've had that problem too!

I don't dislike the game. I love it quite a bit and it's been getting me through what I can only call a terrible time. But I guess I have a few things that get my goat

I feel like the diys are very sparse for me. I normally only TT in the same day, and don't feel like going back and forth a lot. It's just too much effort to do that. But because of that I always miss out on some diys unless I come to a forum like this.

I also wish they'd release the cafe already. The cafe was hands down one of my favorite parts of new leaf. I loved going, I Loved serving customers and special customers.

Lastly I want the gyroids. Are they coming back?

 

[RockAddict410]

OMFG these balloons and them not giving me the last 3 DIYs I need for Spooky Season

 

[maria110]

The worst thing to me is when I'm waterscaping and trying to chop off the pointy parts of land and can't position my player correctly on the diagonal and keep having to do it over and over and over. Ugh!!!!
