The ACNH Rant Thread

[Elias_]

Okay seriously I need to get this off my chest. Why isn't there anything else going on in the game besides the holiday events. I mean seriously its like this game is just only been built off of just holiday events and we got nothing to keep us invested for a long time. No Shop Upgrades, No New Buildings To add, No way to expand Resident Services, and of course the rewards you get is nothing but nook miles and sometimes whenever you gift you villagers you always seem to get clothing and furniture. Thats it! I am so bored of this game its like I can't even enjoy it when I keep thinking about stuff in past AC games that were so great. I know its been talked about so many times but honestly its becoming so hard enjoy the game when there is barely anything to do after you terraform your island.

I absolutely agree.
Also, the Nook Miles were really motivating at first. But once you have the villager you like and some of the upgrades, there is very little to do...
Well, and after some time there really isn't a reason to keep terraforming. I hope they introduce new shops at some point to change that.

I'm really itching for Tortimer's island with the minigames to come back. It would be nice if I could log on and instead of just doing the same chores I've been doing since day one, I could play some games or something.

The only other activity you can do besides the usual things is go to Harv's island and decorate rooms, which I think I'm tired of doing after decorating 2 whole houses and an island with limited furniture lol.

I'd love for Tortimer's island to come back... I miss Kapp'n too...

Anyways...I realized this... why didn't we get much outside furniture for the winter season? I would have loved to add a skating rink to my island. (We have a pool, so why not a skating rink too?) I also feel like the ice interior furniture we got from the snowboy was way too lackluster? It just didn't have the same appeal as the one that new leaf had.

Also, when will we get that "add to cart" button >_<... going in and out of the dressing room is tedious =(

this is honestly why im scared to finish terraforming my island and making it look pretty (also putting it off bc procrastination), but because there is nothing much to do afterwards, i feel like i'll get tired of the game quick and stop playing it ://

They need to bring the island back. It would make playing with friends much more fun This and/or more varied tasks. In New Leaf, villagers would sometimes ask to to play hide-and-seek. Maybe interactions like this would also help add variety.

Agreed. As of right now, the game seems to be designed around your motivation to design the island. But once you are either satisfied with it or give up, there's little else to do. And the holiday events don't really help much as they are limited to maybe a couple of days.

I wish tool durability was way better, I have to keep two of each tool because its truly annoying having to go back and forth when crafting tools after it breaks. Also there needs to be a another upgrade to our pocket slots to I least 50... maybe with a future update....

 

[watercolorwish]

@watercolorwish i think the nook mile achievements are meant to show this. I do miss the badges from Phineas, though, those were cute.

imo the Nook Mile achievements do a bad job of it since they don’t tell you things like which villager moved out when and specific stuff like that.

The tool breaking is easily the worst part of this game. Completely unnecessary and obnoxious.

It's understandable for the flimsy tools, but it's unnecessary for the iron tools, and completely ridiculous for the gold tools. The whole point in the past games was that the golden axe would be invincible. We work hard in this game unlocking the golden fishing pole and net just to have them break after an inadequate number of uses. Why not reward us with an unbreakable fishing pole for catching all the fish? This makes more sense. The golden tools can't even be customized, so they are a complete waste of gold nuggets when you could just buy a customization kit and repair your iron tools.

Yep, there's nothing to look forward to like there was in NL.

In NL, there was Main Street, and it was great with all the shops and having Gracie at the Emporium.

Harvey's campground with the RV's and all the items you could buy from them, plus over 60 amiibo's you could scan in, with their own items!

God it was awesome.

The in game mini games like Desert Island Escape that you could play on the DS item, that gave you even MORE items after beating each level.

There was Tortimer island with excellent beetle spawn rates, and it was an escape from the hideous snow during winter (I'm in Australia), and the tour games were awesome!
Plus the shop run by Kapp'n's family, with it's exclusive items including the toy hammer and silver axe!

In NH, the NPC's are boring and pretty much useless.

There's nowhere to go but a NM island that has the same flora, fauna and season, as your own island.

Going to Nook's Cranny is boring because of the limited amount of items.
They gave us color variations instead of item variations.

They removed the fun and made it a dreaded crafting chore.

Crafting belongs in that mobile game, and there it should have remained, IMO.

The updates are pathetic with reguards to item content.

Like halloween, the plastic items were nearly all lanterns!

I want NL's items back, and the fun.

I want to have that excitement back when my game is loading, not the sigh I give wondering what useless NPC I'll be ignoring today.

please for the love of bob upgrade the nooklings store

 

[Starboard]

There are still pieces of furniture I haven't seen in my store. Meanwhile others I've seen like 100 times. At this rate it's possible I might never see all the furniture. I wish they'd do something about their annoying RNG since the game depends so much on it.

 

[Che5hire Cat]

I wish we had a ABD along with a access to our storage at the airport. Kinda sucks when you have a bunch of trades going on and have to run back all the way to the RS or your house to get bells/NMT/items when you forgot something.

Please don't be offended by this anyone, I don't mean any harm
But I really really don't understand why 'no Nooks Cranny upgrades' is such a big deal?
It's not exactly a feature that adds a lot of gameplay. They just streamlined the shop, with most things being in the cabinet and everything, and half the game's furniture being craftable

The upgrades have been a staple in the series since the the very first (original) game. All past games, except New Leaf have had 3 upgrades. New Leaf had 4 upgrades. So far, New Horizons has 1 upgrade. They give you something to look forward to, and makes the store look better too. The current store upgrade right now is very ugly and incomplete looking. Like the devs threw stuff together for 2 minutes and called it a day. The Nook's Cranny shack had more detail.

We know an upgrade is coming at some point due to the foundation of Nook's Cranny right now. It's just a matter of when. The main rant, to me at least, is that we didn't have all the upgrades from the beginning.

That feeling when you participate in the fishing tournament and just THEN does the game decide to not give you any fish at all in rivers & sea

Besides what JKDOS mentioned, the upgrades added more features and a bigger daily selection. While it's true that the cabinet contains a lot of later-game items already, the upgrades in NL included an upgrade for Leif's store and a section for Gracie, and in WW included Harriett (who may have lost her job with the addition of mirrors, but we'll see if they don't give her something else to do, like they did with Resetti). Plus, even if there is craftable furniture, there still isn't a huge selection overall - IMO, adding some more furniture after an upgrade, besides the Gracie stuff possibly ("Since we've been so successful, we're now able to expand our offerings.") isn't a bad idea.

Also, personally, I just want a nicer looking upgrade that fits my island better, maybe even with multiple options to choose from like HHD had for its shops.

No new fishing tourney prizes in the new year, huh? (unless I seriously missed something)

The Nook shop has always been upgraded three or more times in all the other games. It's sort of a staple. And the upgrade also brought a larger selection of stuff to buy. The Nook shop selection is kind of underwhelming. Especially because rng just gives me the same stuff day in and day out.
