The ACNH Rant Thread

[Starboard]

EDIT: I remembered the rant that I'm always forgetting. The birds and owls on the bulletin board! I never check the bulletin board anymore because the birds or owls go away when you check it. Since I like the look of the cute birds and owls, I try to never check it. One time there were 4 of them sitting on it.

Speaking of birds and owls I'd love if they had some hanging around the island and they fly away if you get too close, like how in New Leaf there were birds at the campsite.

It would also be nice to hear little bird tweets in the background and owl hoots at night. And seagull sounds at the beach. It would add so much ambience and make the island feel more real.

That combined with the option to mute background music would instantly make me like this game double as much.

Too bad they'll never do it!

Make a option to mute the horrible hourly music and we'd have ourselves a deal. Let's be real, the only track that anyone is going to remember from this game is the opening.

I like a lot of the background music but it's too loud compared to other sounds, like present balloons, nature sounds. Muting or changing the volume of it would be great.

Yeah, some of the hourly songs are good but there should still be a way to make it quieter, as this game has good sound effects and ambience that can't be heard over it unless on a beach...

they haven't put banana trees in, yet...

I just ended up selling all the bulk stuff I didn't need and thought about saving for trades. It just wasn't worth the hassle or storage. I think part of it is because the game is so new and so everyone is also hoarding the same stuff that you were able to get in bulk. If this game had more content at launch (or now) or later in its life when it does, then there will be a bigger market for trades.

Right now when something new is updated, everyone is scrambling for the same prize. So it's not a surprise the resell value is so low.

this is a great way of explaining it. I'm just frustrated lol. I want to make bells!

I'll just focus on hoarding bells on my own right now then lol

I don't like that some of the trees are turning colors, not all. that's a really small complaint but it makes it tricky to plant regular trees. I plant them with a purpose

They should all be turning eventually. Unless it is an evergreen tree! It will get there. ♡

I hate how bugs & fish are worth less, I sold Timmy/Tommy a rainbow stag, shark & a bunch of other items & only got 21,150 bells while in the other games I would have got 25,000 for the shark & stag alone. I know I could wait for Chip or Flick but I hate hoarding items & I hate talking to Chip. I miss the Bell ordinance & even more when the Nooks would pay double for certain items like fish/bugs instead of just stupid DIY products that are either not worth the time, materials or bells to craft, DIY recipes I don't have or recipes I don't have craft materials for.

Also something that has been annoying me for a while, not about the game itself, is how when on certain forums that if you say anything negative about the game you practically get lynched for example on one forum I seen how someone stated they were getting bored of the game & most replies called them a troll & insulted & threatened them instead of offering ways to help make the game enjoyable again.

When your island is still 3 stars after 7 months because the natural map is trash so you're not inspired to work on it and you don't have money to move your buildings, can't do turnips and don't have time to grind for money, but you also want those rare mushrooms in november:

How many stars does an island need to get mushrooms? Is it just rare mushrooms that are hard to get?

BUCKLE UP BECAUSE THIS ONE'S A DOOZY.

So, every time I come here to rant it's most certainly decorating related and so is this but I'm thoroughly at my wits end about this one because of how I wish I could do it without the fear of my switch being banned or whatever.

Hacked items.

Ignoring the scummy side of it with people doing things to be evil spirited to others, I can't help but want the hacked items people have getting because they look sooooOOo good. I know there was a whole thing about the star trees and idk if those still work but gosh darn it they looked so amazing, I could think so many different ways to decorate with that :'/

Another item I've seen is Harv's fences. I think they'd be such good fences to decorate with and Nintendo really dropped the ball making those available. Like there's so much I know I could do with them but know that I can't have with them with zero risk is mildly upsetting.

This all stems from the lack of stuff in the game, and me complaining about it won't bring them any faster but gosh what I wouldn't give for some of these hacked items floating around to actually become a part of the game :| Things like fence customizing could have been amazing, and certainly add more possibilities but we don't have that, so many NL items just don't exist and just to tack on another complaint while I'm here-- the villagers are so....lackluster. I miss the old dialogue so much, they had so much color and flavor to them, it's cool that they do things but it's like... Hornsby there's a seat right there why are you sitting on the ground? just annoyed thoughts, because at the end of the day-- much like pokemon, I'll still play and buy the game no matter the complaints I still have.

O.K., rant over, time to go water my flowers <3

You can get mushrooms. It is just the rare ones that are worth the most money that go up and down in rarity based on your island rating.

I had an idea of how to use the papa or giant teddy bear, assuming it had a t-shirt that I could customize like the mama bear does, but it doesn’t. I don’t know if the idea would’ve looked good, but kinda annoyed that we don’t have the choice between a bow or shirt and the limited customization options (like we used to be able to use able’s and gracie shirts to customize items including the antique bed; also would like an option to have actual blankets on the bed not just a flimsy sheet).

I’m not too mad about the bear idea not working since this was just some random idea I wanted to try (more annoyed with customization limitations even though it can be argued we have more options).

Star fragments take wayyyyy too long to spawn on the beach. I had to wander the beach for ages today waiting for the 20 of them to spawn.

I...I just need brewster's in this game. I miss that bird fiercely.

I hate how cheap the basic flowers sell for at the Nook's. My town always gets infested with them and I already have barely any motivation to dig them all up, the fact that they sell for 40 WHOLE BELLS just kills whatever's left.This game is so stingy with it's rewards and the daily grind just to inch forward got annoying a long time ago.

That's my biggest issue with this game. Everything became a grind. I don't remember that being the issue with the other games. Animal Crossing is supposed to be a chill game. I never recall having to shake a tree for an hour to get acorns/cones, but only get sticks. I feel like they really missed the mark with this game in many ways.

Like mushrooms are going to have to be hoarded for crafting, but in other games you just collected them and you could sell them or keep them because they looked pretty. And if you were lucky some of the mushroom shapes were actually furniture. Simple chill sweet and to the point.

The rates of pinecones and acorns vs sticks is brutal. I ended up buying them from people on here instead.

I stopped after I think I got 10 of each. It might be less than that. The other materials I had to hoard were a lot easier to get. Like seashells I got so many and I wasn't actively looking for them. Or the cherry petals would be just floating randomly when I was passing by. With pinecone/acorns you got to be actively grinding for them. Anyone who says they enjoy doing that is fooling themselves.

Speaking of sticks....
I'm so tired of picking them up and them clogging my already crowded inventory.
Is it really necessary for all the trees to drop them on a daily basis? It looks messy if I just leave them, but they are practically useless safe for a few recipes. Besides, if you need sticks, you can just shake a tree for unlimited amounts.
It's pointless and tedious.
