The ACNH Rant Thread

I wish we could store like 30 bush starts in one stack, my bush hoarding is taking up too many storage slots ahhh.

I was visiting a lot of islands yesterday and today. I absolutely HATE printing off NMTs. It is just so slow.

I don't agree with the argument that it is fine when the game wastes your time.
Enjoyment density in an important aspect of any game--entertainment provided /(divided by) time spent playing the game. For people who have little time, enjoyment density really matters.

I have only printed NMTs, like, less than 20 times. I just cannot be bothered doing it, pretty much all my tickets have been acquired by trading or buying them. It's too tedious and takes too much time, no thanks.

If I'm ever running low on NMTs I could print 100+ tickets from my saved Nook miles, but I really hope I never have to. Buying multiples of things in general is annoying in this game, NMTs are among the worse ones though since it's an item you often want in bulk but you cannot buy in bulk no matter what.

What is it with getting villagers from the void? My alt somehow got a Colton from an island I’d visited. My third Smug. I don’t need that many. I was planning on double jocks or snooties Not this.

I wish we could've have more than 10 villagers so much funn.

Issues like the house-moving just screams "unfinished" to me. I mean there are too many problems this game has that exist for no good reason and make it look like the devs barely thought about the mechanic. Looking at you Able Sisters. I'm hoping they fix these eventually in updates and if they don't I'm going to be pretty dang confused.

I don't know. A lot of things scream unfinished. Like I remember if you had a good enough friendship with your villagers in NL they'd smile joyfully if you sat with them on a bench (or whatever) But in this game they don't even acknowledge if you sit with them or not.

It's the little things like this that bring it to life. You take those simple things out and don't add to it in anyway and it feels...I wouldn't say unfinished even though it is, but void. It just makes it feel empty. Like that they poured their heart into the other games and in this game they poured what they could before they pushed out too early.

I wish Celeste would be guaranteed to show up whenever there's a meteor shower. I've only had her show up to my island a whopping three times since the game came out, so I've only obtained 3 DIYs. I got a 4th from a fellow user's island when she was there. But every time I've had a meteor shower, she isn't there. I haven't seen her since May!

I've seen her a few times, but I haven't seen a full blown meteor shower and I've had the game since release. The rng in this game sucks. I feel like it's the worst it has been.

It does help to use meteonook to find your weather seed. Then you’ll know when the light meteor showers are. She is allegedly on your island every week on one of the meteor shower (light or heavy).

 

[Livia]

Celeste won’t show up on nights that KK is there though. My last heavy meteor shower was on a Saturday and a friend and I looked all over my island for her and couldn’t find her. Then I found out it was because of KK

That is handy, but I don't have a smartphone. It's also a app made by an outside party.

It's still not cool that some people have played since launch and haven't had one in 7 months (close to a year) and others have already had a handful of full blown ones. They need to fix that.

I swear the RNG in this game is something entirely rant-able on its own. I've played every single day in October and I haven't had a single meteor shower. My island's Able Sisters has also NEVER sold the striped mage hat yet...and October ends in like 2 days. I had to get a friend send me some instead! I don't understand why certain events/items aren't guaranteed after a certain point.

 

[GnarlyGarden]

Meteonook is actually a website. You can access it from most browsers.

Yeah, sometimes the RNG is just bad. I played for about 2 months before getting an announcement from Isabelle.

 

[-Blue-]

Do you mean any kind of announcement or one for the full blown meteor showers? Because it's been 7 months (since launch) and I haven't had any. It also took me like 4 months to get just the slight showers.

 

[GnarlyGarden]

Wow! That’s awful.

 

[yuckyrat]

I’m also annoyed that the villagers keep adopting each other’s catch phrases when they are given to specific villagers for specific reasons.

Oh my god, YES! I give each villager a phrase made for them, and two seconds later everyone is saying it! My entire town says "squeakers" because of Penelope!

 

[Jassiii]

I'm so annoyed that villagers are so plain :/ It's annoying how nice snooties, crankies and smugs are from the jump! I missed having to work for kindness from them! Normal and lazy villagers are a bore to chat with-- which sucks because in my top three are Vesta and Bob and talking to them is so lackluster nor-- not even the subtypes help with interesting dialogue. I love this game so much but the villagers feel like placeholders half the time, they feel...unfinished. I don't want to knock AC, they went and above and beyond in this game but bro COME ON. The villagers are a focus in this game and it just sucks that they're so boring now...I'd say the only ones that don't bore me would be the sisterly and peppy villagers but even then, peppy's annoy me sometimes. I feel very knit-picky complaining about this but it's just so frustrating when I talk to my villagers and am hit with the same lackluster dialogue over, and over, and over again.

 

[Livia]

Villager hunting is so frustrating! I've been to 101 islands and only found 1 of the 3 I'm looking for. I can only find lazies and normals now, so I'm getting a lot of repeats. I saw Annalisa twice in a row. I thought it would be easier because I can only find certain personalities, but I guess the game hates me.

I completely agree

I haven't played any of the previous games but conversing w/ villagers is very boring.
The repeating dialogue is too much ugh..

I wouldn't even mind if my villager's would give dialogue based on their personality when I talk to them the first 5 or so times. Most times it's something about what I am wearing, what I was doing yesterday, if someone visited that didn't even talk to them, the weather/time, or if they're close to another resident's home.

'Doesn't ____'s house just scream ____? Like you would know who lived there without knowing.'
No. No I wouldn't.

This is my biggest gripe with the game by far, like it breaks my heart a little bit. I barely talk to my villagers lately and it’s almost like I live on the island by myself :,( I just got so tired of hearing about how I dug up fossils yesterday, how I hit rocks yesterday, how I buried bells yesterday, how the HHA evaluations came today, how I designed my clothes myself, how we’re standing next to Resident Services, blah blah blah. Even when I manage to get a piece of actual dialogue I sometimes miss some of it because I’m so used to mashing A through what my villagers say

So I paid for a switch, the game, a few extras, and a nintendo online subscription, yet I can't EVER get qr codes because all I have is a mobile phone and no computer.

My mobile phone can't be the scanner AND the screen I need to scan.
This is utter bull****!

Why do I need THREE BLOODY DEVICES to get a qr code!

I've paid enough for this.
And then some. :-/
