The ACNH Rant Thread

meggiewes said:
I am also an adult and don't mind getting positive reinforcement in the current 2020 "Me First" culture where people don't even teach their kids to be nice to each other anymore.

I don't need to be talked down to like I am a baby because I have a differing opinion on a forum where discussions take place. Just because I have a more positive attitude diesnt mean that I'm a child or someone who is trying to spread nothing but toxic positivity.

I have problems with the game too, but that doesn't mean I don't like the positives.

So, I am sorry that I tried to engage in a lighthearted conversation about the value of handcrafted things as a reason why our villagers might clap for us when we craft things. This is going to make me sound like an old sourpuss, but most kids these days (and several adults I know) do not appreciate the value of high quality handcrafted items. After all, how many people these days build their own furniture from scratch? How many people know how to put together a filling and tasty well crafted four course dinner? How many people sew their own clothes?

So when I see our villagers appreciate what we do in the game means a lot. I realize it is my background that helps give it meaning, but I see this and think of other people who see the same thing (especially kids) and I hope they remember it and start valuing quality hand crafted items more.

That is what I was talking about and I do feel regret if that was not clear in my original response.

I didn't talk down to you at all!
It was the other way around.

You spoke to me as if I were a toddler!

I didn't like having my posts dissected in a rant thread, as that is the one place those who have criticisms can go to vent them with other people who also want to get things off their chest.

I didn't expect gaslighting in a rant thread. :(

This thread is, or should be, a safe haven, where we aren't challenged on every negative point we post about.

I can't believe this stemmed from me posting I didn't want to be applauded for customizing a tool.

Over & out.

Happy New Year, TBT, to you and your families.

Be safe. XoXo.

Wish Redd would visit more often, I know it's about once every two weeks I believe. Wish two npc villagers would visit a day, one in Resident Services and another like CJ, Flick etc... that walk around the island. its gonna be a long timeeeeeee till I ever fill the art museum lol
 
I already ranted about this but I’m really upset that I won’t get the new years achievement. It’s not fair to lock it behind staying up until midnight. I’m an adult who just goes to bed early, but there are probably a lot of kids playing the game who won’t get the achievement either because they aren’t allowed to stay up. It really bothers me that I’ll always have an empty space in my nook miles achievement cards. It should unlock earlier in the evening so everyone can have a chance to get it.

This is definitely frustrating. Some people go to bed early and some people work on New Years/New Years Eve, or maybe they’re celebrating with their family so won’t have time to check the game? Silly to lock it like that.

It’s not really the same but I just bought a hat from another users island who’s current time is like 12:40 am or so and I got the achievement that way! In case you don’t want to change the time on your personal island, you can visit somebody else’s island that’s jumped ahead?

It may be considered TT'ing, but go to your time settings on the Switch and adjust your time zone. If your time zone for example is -9:00, try setting it to -5:00
 
im annoyed that the celebratory arch is only available ON the first?? like you put decor like that up on new years eve??

im really disliking this trend im seeing where we get items perfect for the holidays and you get them like either less than a week before or ON the holiday
 
I am so annoyed with the whole "let's make the only source of highly sought-after seasonal DIY cards be balloon presents" thing would be put to rest for good the next little holiday event they hold. I can't stand not being able to find even ONE maple leaf or pine cone recipe thing while only one week away from Turkey day, and et cetera. This was such a huge failure. For many less intense players that makes basic holiday decor a completely unattainable and unaffordable option -- because, due to how hard they are to find, they're wildly expensive on trade forums as a result. Idk, it's just reallyyyyyy frustrating lol. It makes me so mad. I hope they consider this a little more carefully next year.

I agree, you basically have to play the game 24/7 in order to nab the DIYs, or like you said, go onto marketplace sites such as here or Nookazon to get them, which can get insanely expensive
 
I have to say I'm really frustrated with the emphasis on social gaming. I have been playing socially since March and even with lots of trading I still find it challenging to get all the colors of an item. I can't tell you how many times I tried to buy, for example, one of the soup variants only to find that the person delivered the wrong item. It's an easy mistake to make as the congee and the cream stew look nearly identical. It would have been nice if they maybe labeled the soup with the variant type like they do with the rugs! (ex: soup kettle-congee)

And now even with New Years, there are so many hat colors, and for some reason we have to go through the whole process of trading with at least three other players if we want all the colors, and they are unorderable. I know it's a small thing but for people who are completionists, this is a real pain in the derriere.

I'd say in general, the forced social trading system is a nightmare for completionists.

If it makes you feel better, I think we can collect more variations of the hats in our own game every New Year's Eve. But it will take 4 years to get them all so I'm not sure if that makes you feel better haha. Most people will probably just trade for them.

And I totally agree. AC was never this reliant on trading before and everyone was fine with it. Now it's just annoying, it's too much even for the people who have the subscription and enjoy trading! Meanwhile everyone else is treated like second-rate players in comparison. Seems like Nintendo has no shame.

On a positive note I really liked the New Year's celebration, and I've enjoyed all the events so far! This game has so many great things about it and I wish it wasn't so tainted by the bad aspects.
 
OMGosh! Am I the only time traveler who did New Years early and then decided to travel to tomorrow AND FORGOT TO CHANGE THE YEAR?!?

So I was back in January 2020 and decided to move forward slowly to April 2020 to try to do Cherry Blossom season. And of course, I've already received 4 Bunny DIYs and ZERO Cherry Blossom DIYs. My non-Bunny present balloons were a DARTBOARD and some FLASHY SLACKS. Ugh! Bunny Day is the worst. WORST!

Plus I already had too many flowers and now I'm going to be spending ages removing them. So many flowers to remove .... sigh.

Also, Sable deserves a day off. Label, please come and give Sable a day off. I'd like to be just walking around the island and encounter Sable and be able to give her a gift. Mabel deserves a day off too but not as much as Sable, who does the hard work.

Wait, there's a new years achievement? I watched the celebration yesterday beyond midnight but didn't see that
