The ACNH Rant Thread

[Yoshisaur]

I was burnt our on ACNH over summer time and didn't do the swimming aspect of the game until recently. I hate trying to get the mermaid recipes. I get one every like 10 days. This will take forever to get caught up

I wish villagers had a slightly bigger home. Their floor space is 6x6. It means a lot of their furniture need to be cramed close together. In a lot of houses, this leads to sofas and low tables being placed directly together making the sofa inaccessible. If villagers had a 7x7 floor space, it would be so much better.

i wish that too & that includes the players house too... :3

With so many NPC's you can go up to them, do a reaction and they'll do it back but why can't Flick do any reactions back??
I just want to dance with my favorite bug worshiping NPC

I would love to have more house exteriors too, like the Asian style ones or the log cabin.

My other rant is that when I'm moving flowers and my pockets get full, I don't have the option to plant a different flower. I have to swap for a non flower item or rebury the original flower. Ugh.

I'm running around right now looking for the place where I drop-swapped some NMT and later forgot to pick them back up.

It's very hard to find a stack of NMT on the white snow. :-(

I just read something about canaries in New Leaf. Did the canaries move around in New Leaf; were they there all the time? I never check my bulletin board in New Horizons because it drives the birds away. I'd love to have birds even when there are not messages.

Canaries would hang out in the campsite after the Welcome amiibo update. Harv would sometimes be feeding them and would give some "food" to the player to join in, which was a way for Western players to get the throwing beans.

Eta: I believe they'd also hop around main street, although it's been a while since I played so I could be misremembering.

This is probably just me but sometimes I wish the furniture was a little bit bigger. My pool table looks like a kid's toy next to my giant head. The furniture also has such big buffers around it that in some rooms I can't really move much at all. Maybe it would help if the rooms were bigger.

I don't know, I know it's the game's aesthetic, and I do kind of like how everything is small and cute, but then sometimes I feel like I'm walking around a doll house rather than a real house.

it does not sadly, the villagers dont even have a reaction to it if youre close to them

It's a cute tool, but I feel like with a 3 month update lull, they could had done a little more with the stuff they did give. I mean it wouldn't had been too hard to have them clap their hands or do a shock emote. They do react to stuff outside of you doing reactions, so it is possible. Like they do the panic emote when bees are around.

Here's something that has been bothering me. Villagers never acknowledge you. You're just there. But they will actually greet other villagers. Why couldn't they had them greet you every now and then? Why is it that only if you initiate emotions that they respond?

One thing I loved about the megaphone is if you called their name, were close (but not too close) and were best-friends they would scream in glee and wave to you. It was cute and if you screamed the megaphone in their ear they would be shocked and say that was too loud/hurt their ears.

It's stuff like that, that made the game feel wholesome and complete instead of artificial. The little simple things are what I loved.

I'd give up any of the crap items they keep dumping on us, just for the NL bread or veggie basket.

What even are those items, I never saw anything about those

Were they some limited stuff too?

I think those were part of the WA update. The bread basket was part of Bea's RV. Her RV was set up to look like a bakery and she had all sorts of bakery tools. It was kind of a cute set-up.

still getting really aggravated with the breaking tools, whoever thought that would be a good feature to implement is an idiot.

I’ve moaned about this before I’m sure but I hate hate hate how nearly half the items are colour locked to your island. Particularly with the NM items because if you don’t like the colour that was randomly assigned to you then you have to trade every single time you want a soddding lamp post.

But how else would they justify their online sub? They didn't add mini-games after all lol.

 

[RoxasFan25]

It bothers me how event updates in this game just seem to add items to the game and never really bothering to add new features or improve on the game's experience.

You could get them from series five RV amiibo cards.

There were hundreds of awesome items, and dozens of them were food.

I can see them wanting to encourage trading. It would have been better if you only had to trade once for each color and then you could just order how many you need. In the catalog it shows a number of items with different colors they should have added that to the nook miles.

So, i have been thinking ALOT today about how I wish they would add paving borders and perhaps more paving options for paths. Borders really help smooth out made plazas or porches..
Please Nintendo if you ever expand paving options, please consider a grassy path since flowers and weeds invade dirt and sand paths!

Since dirt and sand doesnt restrict flowers and weeds, i am left with a dark wood, two paths of the same shade of gray stone, a red brick that doesnt match RS, and a terracotta (my fav) or custom paths (no sound and erases so easy).

After spending alot of time on my second island i am thinking of deleting some of my custom paving. I hate it lol. I mean it's cool, but the erasing when trying to pick up an item is driving my crazy.
And the sound...or lack of actually.

The downside is that now my color options are limited.

I couldnt decide if my post should go in the wishlist idea thread or here. I think my comment seems more like a complaint than just a wish lol.

It would be nice if we could have angled paths instead of the odd bubbly effect the current paths have when trying to have them angle. Esp when doing an angled bridge on a rough river...

Also, it would be AMAZING if we had a path that matched the center of the brick bridge. Is it a sandstone?

Questions i have are, how were the pacing options in previous animal crossing games? How many options existed? What colors existed? And were there such a thing as paving borders?

Cool paving options would be mossy brick and mossy stone. Gravel. Sandstone. Recycled rubber. Dark green Grassy path. A grassy path with small flowers or clovers. Brown or earthy colored cobblestone.
Other colors of stone and brick besides gray and red. Other colors of wood beyond dark brown.
Edit fyi recycled rubber can come in some pretty rad color combinations. Like a pastel mix or a dominate color (like red or black) with specks of other colors in it.

I swear if they ever release minigames and make even solo play require a subscription I'm going to be so mad.

I like to think they wouldn't do that but idk, they made a lot of things undoable without a subscription just so people would buy it. Makes me nervous

I really really REALLY wish you could store whole plants in your storage. While I'm happy flowers can't die because of how hard some are to breed, it's a HUGE PITA when I want to remodel the layout of an area.

I worry about this as well. As much as I want minigames and Tortimers island back I wouldn’t be surprised if you needed a subscription for it. Hopefully you will only need the subscription if you play with others.

I really don’t get why we can’t store them. It would make it easier to redo areas and have different color schemes. Some colors don’t look as good during different seasons and I would love to store them instead of hiding them at the back of my island or selling them.
