The ACNH Rant Thread

[0orchid]

I put a villager plot in an area with my Moai Statue head assuming it would return to my pockets. It didn't! I'm hoping it will show up in that recycling box in the Resident Services Building because it would suck if I lost it since I can't re-order it.

...update: it was in the recycling box! whew, good

Notice how they keep repeating "the next FREE update" on Twitter? Call me cynical, but this tells me they won't all be free. Sorry, everyone, the box still says there are in-game purchases. Maybe you'll only be able to buy Nook Miles, but I don't see how they'd be financially incentivised to give us THAT much more content for free.

I'm most frustrated right now that there are only, like, 5 furniture sets. All of my villager houses look the same inside, I can't do anything I want to outdoors because I'm missing an essential like a chair or pieces to a bigger recipe, and WHY ARE ITEM COLORS UNIQUE??? I wanted a natural island and my colors are hot pink and black!

Here's a rant: I didn't know all turnips were sold before 12pm, so yesterday I missed out on this week's Stalk Market. I was planning on investing big bucks into that, it's very unfortunate.

I didn't wake up early enough to buy turnips on either Sunday. Feels.

The Northern Hemisphere totally got boned when it comes to the Stringfish and Sturgeon. These fish disappear at the end of March, with the Stringfish not showing up again until December. With them releasing the game 10 days before March ending and these fish have a spawn rate of zero. Spent the 5 hours trying to catch a Stringfish, to no avail and this is extremely frustrating. By the time this fish shows back up in December, I'll probably be completely over it with this game.

This is frustrated HappyTails typing. Not happy HappyTails so what she says may not be what she means, especially that last part.

This was the first thing that came up to me the first time they announced it. There is no way at this day and age that people(or large companies) will do things for free... Yes, events are free but all I can look at as an example is The Sims 4 with expansion/stuff packs... I really really hope not, the backlash would be great. That is my worst case scenario for ACNH ;-;

My biggest grip is multiplayer mode saving: the only option is to save and end! The only way it will save is if someone leaves and comes back..Now I am using Dodo codes, is it different with just regular friends play?

No, in online play with friends it's the same way. Autosave is also kind of spotty. Like it might autosave and it might not :v

Can you really just buy one item in the changing room at Able Sisters? That's so annoying.

 

[Arckaniel]

I don't have ACNH yet that's my rant AHAHAHAHA due to COVID-19, I preordered but of course because of the lockdown here I wasn't able to get it, hope everyone is doing fine in their own places, stay safe always guys and have fun playing, mine got delayed but that's totally fine amd reasonable...

I feel like the main updates will be free, in splatoon and smash they always said FREE update and neither had paid updates: but they did have additional DLC. Animal crossing DLC will probably be made since they've done it for all their 'big' games so far... :\

I actually have a couple more things I’d like to add to my previous rant now that I’ve progressed a little further.

I really wish there was a top down view available whilst terraforming, if you get closer to a building it automatically pans straight over head and I feel like it’s so much easier to terraform this way!

I also would like an option to move items outside where your character isn’t in view, kind of like what we have available in our houses. It would make positioning items a lot easier.

Crafting: I wish there was a way to be able to view customisation options away from the crafting bench, and I wish every time you were crafting they wouldn’t ask “would you like to continue”.

I also get annoyed at the extended dialogue when buying things from the ABD machine in resident services. It should automatically take you back to the shopping screen after buying something instead of asking if you’d like to go back in each time. There was another example of this I found really annoying but I’ve forgotten haha.

Dodo codes: there isn’t an option to input the code again if you mistype which is really annoying. Also if there is a disconnection you have to start all over again.

Just a few things I’ve noticed, I’m sure they’re easily fixed and in the grand scheme of things I can definitely live with it.

Yes and no.

You can buy outfits (multiple items), but you cannot buy multiple clothes of the same type. This makes sense because they ask you if you want to wear the items out.

Cancel pre-order and go for digital.

I guess it makes perfect sense, but the shopping cart just makes me want to purchase multiple at once. Buying 7 pairs of shoes was an absolute nightmare, I feel like the game could ask you to buy all and keep the outfit on seperately.

 

[mapleleaf]

I really don't understand why they can't just add all the cool stuff WHILST keeping everything else?? So we finally get to change our islands but they remove a whole bunch of other cool stuff from new leaf, is it that difficult to just keep it?

I feel you though. The past couple times I've been there, I was wishing there was a shopping cart because i wanted 2-3 different tops.

 

[Celinalia]

i think the focus is too much on crafting, i'm not really a fan of it. also that you have to build bridges and everything and THEN unlock terraforming. also i'm not too fond of the breakable tools, especially when you are on a nook miles island

I hate saying no to my villagers ;-; Now Marshall has a sea bass in his house >.< Whyyy out of all fishies a sea bass D:
