The ACNH Rant Thread

[SlEEPYTEARRS]

Mystery island rant, I wish we could send materials back home from the Mystery Islands itself. There's not a unlimited amount of any materials on the islands to break the game. It would allow us to take more fish/bugs/critters back with us to make a little bit more bells.

like why is that only a feature on harveys island, it makes no sense to me????

like i get that it was for the wedding event but now there is no use for it

i wish the event date and times were a little more clear. i had to spend christmas eve crocheting a last minute present most of the night, thinking that the event would be on christmas day and that i would have time yesterday to do it. when i signed on, isabelle just tells me about it being the last day to sign up for some contest, but that didn't really "qualify" as news, and to carry on.

i'm.. breaking my no time traveling streak just so i can go back and do the toy day event.. i honestly have no idea what impression i got that told me it would be on christmas day, but man.. i really, really wish i had known it was from december 24th 5 am - december 25th 5 am.

especially considering when i did get on AC on christmas eve, jingle was no where to be found. le sigh.

I'm sorry you missed Toy Day and are having to time travel back for it. It's definitely a little odd that Toy Day is (I think) the only holiday that doesn't match up with it's real world equivalent, date wise. Well, aside from Turkey Day but that's because I celebrate Thanksgiving in October! I can't remember now if we got any heads up about it being on the 24th either via Isabelle (but at this point I end up hitting A to just get through her "announcements" as quick as possible so I may have missed it) or through a bulletin board notice. Especially since they do keep the festive decorations up in the plaza for the 25th as well, acknowledging Christmas day in that sort of way but still the event is on Christmas Eve? Which is really busy for a lot of people because they may still work and have last minute preparations to do.

This is minor, but I hate how Isabelle removes the Christmas tree from Town Hall the day after Christmas, even though Festive Season goes until the first week of January.

Please give us a way to find wandering NPCs like Daisy Mae. Perhaps bring back the megaphone??? I just spent 10 minutes walking up and down my island and I still couldn't find her so I just saved and restarted.

So I found Willow when I was mystery island hopping for my gothic island. I decided to invite her and then transfer her to the other island later. Then the other day, I accidentally gifted her a large bug, which has ruined her perfect house. Today a plot opened on the island where I want Willow to live, but then I remembered the bug. Now I've got to go look for Willow or another dreamy again. I'll try to earn her photo on the original island and then let her move out with her giant bug.

Also, I decided on my new recently reset island to not add art to the museum because I want this island to be more rural where a smaller museum would make sense and I have a fully expanded museum with art on the other island. But Blathers won't stop talking about art and how he is eagerly awaiting donations. Poor Blathers!

Toy Day is always on Dec 24th for all the games. I don't remember if Isabelle says that the days leading to it or if it is on the bulletin board. If they didn't do neither of those two, then it feels like they expect the fanbase to all be veterans who just know that it's on the 24th. It's also always at night time. So if you logged in on the 24th in the day you wouldn't see him or the event. And it's kind of strange Isabelle didn't say anything to you that day unless you were just spamming A to get done and missed it.

If she didn't say anything, she really needs an update. Or to be dropped. I'm getting kind of tired about hearing about all her life news. It was cute during launch and now it's just spam spam spam 'Oh shi- that looked important...'


Speaking of calenders, I think they had one in the old Animal Crossing games. I went back in NL and couldn't find one, but I remember having an in-game calendar showing what events there were and on what day. I wish we could have something back like that.

I don’t pay attention to Isabelle because she annoys me, but I know on the 23rd villagers were saying that Toy Day was tomorrow. You didn’t have to do it only at night. I completed it around 10 am and 1 pm on my other island.

I hate it when I'm in Resident Services trying to invite a villager with an Amiibo and realize that I've left the airport gate open. Why can't you call Orville and ask him to close the gate. Too many loading screens to leave Resident Services, close the gate, go back, invite the animal. Ugh.

being new to the AC game, i had no idea it was usually held on december 24th, so like you said, it kind of put a damper on that. i really can't remember if it was expressed all that clearly for the 24th or not, and maybe my brain just associated christmas day with a christmas event. but i can definitely say in full confidence that i read isabelle's messages daily when i sign onto my animal crossing because of the fact that i'm always waiting to see if there's anything new or exciting, especially around event times. the most i do is i'll speed up the text bubble with the L button, but i never preemptively get rid of it before i've had a chance to see what it says.

the only thing i can guess about the lack of announcement is i usually play in airplane mode so i can hide away from people like a coward while i play. it also helps the internet connection in the house if my switch isn't constantly hooked up to it, so i only turn it off airplane mode when i'll be doing trades or posting images to my twitter for my AC. on turkey day, when i first logged on, there was no announcement whatsoever about anything, and just to be safe, i exited the game, turned the wifi on, and made sure the software was fully updated before starting it up again, and boom. isabelle's tellin' me all about the turkey day event. it could have been partially my fault for lack of announcements - but.. nintendo.. not everyone has an internet connection constantly. the point of the switch lite specifically is to make it portable.

it's.. it's the little things sometimes that really get you.

I hate that Isabelle announces that it's the 'start of a new week' on a Sunday... I'm in the UK andthe start of our week is Monday, as I'm sure it is in a lot of other countries. I get that it's translated by Americans, but they could at least do some basic research or simply leave big statements like that out. Every single week it throws me off and I have a mini-panic that I've somehow missed a day or ttd forwards a day somehow.

Wish there were more fruits in the game, I've played pocket camp for the first year it was released and there was way more fruit like Lemons and Grapes. Plus there isnt a way to contain all fruit without online, like flowers ... ;[

 

[JKDOS]

There's no backwards caps like the blue cap we had in New Leaf

 

[SlEEPYTEARRS]

i guess this is just a nookazon thing but im looking for a couple of the illuminated diys and keep getting denied despite offering almost a mil bells EACH. it is absolutely ridiculous

Post automatically merged: Dec 28, 2020

like i feel bad for others who didnt have the time and the luck to grab all the diys who only can use nookazon and have to deal with ridiculously high prices. makes me somewhat hate trading tbh

I really dread every time I get a request to deliver a present to a villager from a villager. Zell just had me deliver a zap suit to Ankha. She seemed as equally as unimpressed I was...but then you have those times where they wear it anyways after being told not to. @___@ Why Zell why...

 

[Sara?]

Its not the first time i say this but i think it would be the first time in this threat, why can we not completely re-decorate or re-vamp our villagers home ? for most of their time they just horde on their clothes instead of using the freaking closet to keep their clothes in and other times they just have furnitures all over the place sometimes even facing the wall. I mean in the Nintendo 3DS we had happy home academy, would it be so hard to add this feature too in NH? i mean have you seen some of the villagers flooring and walls?

i never deliver things for my villagers anymore for this exact reason...having flashbacks of hazel getting a muscle suit and deciding to wear it every day

This happen to me 3 times, I didn't bother to see how the outfit would look on them when my villager ask to try on the outfit. Big regret, now Biff [Jock] walks with a cute apron ..... I didn't know they would still keep the outfit after you let them try it out and say it looks horrible on them, that's a big letdown...

 

[Yoshisaur]

I am sick of trying to find Julian on islands and the campsite! I have enjoyed organically letting villagers come and go as it's so regarding to find who you want but I may have to break down and trade for him

Same with me....

i've heard that you can circumvent this by opening the gift and then rewrapping it with wrapping paper from nook's. apparently the game registers it as if you never opened it so if you don't like what's inside, you can just reset and avoid the request or not deliver it. i've not tested it myself because i generally don't care what my villagers wear, and i don't know if you can replace the gift with something else, so try it at your own risk or w/e.
