The ACNH Rant Thread

I’m once again super annoyed that we can store bugs, fish, huge items and literally everything BUT flowers, bushes and trees. WHY NINTENDO, WHYYYY
I really wish we could store them . It makes no sense that we can’t. Storing extra DIY’s would also be great.
 
The way you get DIYS in this game sucks because with seasonal diys you can on;y get them from balloon gifts only. Why not get them from our villagers crafting or the diy bottles? The Halloween Event did the DIYs really well!

ive had people in a small discord server ask people if they had any extra festive diys because they had found NONE so far. this was just yesterday and nobody had any extras and in fact, barely had any themselves, with only around a week left until christmas. people cant even decorate for the holidays because balloon only!!!

I feel like I've been going crazy the last few days- it's been almost impossible to get any of the festive DIYs. I am besides myself. I've spent 1-3 hours a day balloon hunting and have walked away with nothing in the last two days. That is ridiculous IMO. I really liked how you could get the Halloween DIYs from residents who were crafting. It gave you an opportunity to get at least one DIY a day without it taking forever. At this rate, I'll have none of the DIYs I was hoping for by Christmas. It's not a huge deal but it is kind of irritating. They need to make changes to the balloon mechanics if they're going to hold events like this in the future.
 
They really should have made the Festive DIYs the same as the Halloween ones, obtainable from crafting villagers. I don't know why they didn't, they're both upcoming holidays. Why put players through stress trying to get the festive ones just to decorate their town for Christmas? We only get a small window of time to farm them and appreciate them on our island, even if we manage to get them right away, which many people are struggling with.

I don't know why Nintendo makes such weird decisions!

I think since I started in March I've only gotten one seasonal crafting DIY from a balloon and that was when I put more effort into finding balloons... Guess I need to start farming to make it in time 😥

I completely agree! I don't understand why Toy Day and Halloween are being treated differently in terms of DIYs? I loved the way they did the DIYs for Halloween. We were able to find Spooky DIYs all month long which was wonderful! Plus we could obtain the spooky DIYs in a couple different ways, it was the first time I wasn't stressed about finding DIYs lol. I'm not sure why Festive DIYs are being limited to essentially a week before Christmas and are only obtainable via balloons? It's so strange. I haven't been able to get one DIY via balloon yet. I'm so grateful to this forum otherwise my island wouldn't look festive at all!
 
I’m agreeing with everyone else on the diy hunting... These festive diys are really hard for me to find, I’ve been at this for two hours and maybe only have gotten four balloons and no diys... I really wish the balloons would appear every five minutes and not skip any every so often... This is just sooo time consuming and frustrating... 😔

I'm not sure if you're already doing this, but I think they're more likely to spawn if you enter Nook's Cranny, the Ables or the museum then come back out. It has to be before the time ends in a 4 or a 9 though, and most of the time you should see them on the beach a minute later.

Also they fly in the direction of the wind, so you can check the chimney smoke to make sure you're waiting at the right side of the island :)
 
Grinding for DIYs is no fun at all :’) Just giving in and buying the DIYs bc I don’t have the spoons for actual real life commitments, let alone hoping to get the right kind of balloon spawn. Acnh whyyyy ;-; I just wanna relax when I play 😭
 
Sorry probably the wrong thread for this but does anyone have suggestions of where I could trade for holiday DIYs? Or are they so hard to come across that there are none? My winter vacation doesn't start until Toy Day itself so I'm worried it'll come without me getting a single one...
 
Ugh Today was supposed to be the day I hunt villagers and BAM Isabelle says theres a camper in my campsite. And I was told that if there's a camper you can't hunt villagers on mystery islands Dx I'm so pissed! 100% of the time my campers are ugly T__T
 
I can't get into RS!

K.K. and a big festive tree are totally blocking me, and Teddy is on the right.

Please move K.K. to The Roost, if we ever get it.

Or move him away from the door.

I seriously can't get in!

Did you try going to a nook miles island to see if there is a villager on it? That would be really annoying if a camper messed up villager hunting.

I can 100% confirm that this is not the case. I’ve had times where I’ve had an open slot and a camper and I could hunt islands for villagers. The only time I used the camper I when I had an open slot was because it had my parents’ dreamy on it.

!!! I just tried and there is a villager that spawned! My goodness, I feel like my friend lied to me about how they weren't able to see villagers spawn when having a camper in their campsite -___-

Thank you soooo much for this tip! It finally help both my mom and I to get the rest of the festive diys recipes, so all we need is the one that Jingle gives out on toy day and well finally have them all. So again, thank you! 😭
 
my villagers, wearing short sleeves while there is snow everywhere; "lovely weather, isnt it!" "im going to lay in the grass"

girl it looks like youre freezing, what you mean "lovely weather" ?????

I think they forgot to update dialogue for winter, that would explain Sable still talking about sun and shorter sleeves as well 😆

Glad to help! I'm not sure why it all has to be so specific but I'm glad people figured it out 😄
 
I wish clean up service included flowers too :( Also I wish it would take a bit more than just what's right next to you. I'm trying to clear down 2 levels of cliffs but it's taking forever. Also I wish there were a better way to decide whether you want the corner of a body of water to be at a 90 degree angle or shaved off.
