The ACNH Rant Thread

[RoxasFan25]

The more I keep playing this game the more bored I keep getting. Why is it that everyday I speak to my villagers they always remind me of what I did yesterday, talking about my outfit for like the 50th time, and of course always pointing out the items on my island? This is the reason why I am not playing this game so often because I can barely talk to any of my villagers because their dialogue is so repetitive.

Also I am sick of hearing Isabelle's announcements talking about her Sock and other things in her personal life for like the 100th time. I wish there was a way to turn off the announcements because at this point its just getting so annoying. I got all of the golden tools but I don't ever use them because they break! I am not sure why to this day did they decide breaking gold tools would be a good idea.

Finally this Festivale update we have coming out does not do enough to keep you invested. You just get new items to get by the nook shop and then you wait until the event happens and you're done with it. Why do we have to keep waiting so long for game improvements? Why is it that these Event updates don't even bother fixing issues with the game? I know this has been said so many times but New Horizions is by far the most lackluster game I've played compared to past AC games. Sure it has good things going for it but man after playing for almost a year I expected so much better.

Ok. Massive vent incoming.

I'm so annoyed right now. I somehow accidentally sold my Festivale lamp that I wanted at least 2 of and no amount of time travelling was able to get it back in the store. Autosave meant I couldn't just reset when I realised it wasn't in my pockets.

I've just had it. It's technically my fault but never have I played a game that annoyed me so much. I've pretty much done what I wanted to do on my island and I've only been playing lately to get these Festivale items. It's just a chore for me. I want to keep logging on so I can make the most of it and don't just end up ditching the game but I'm just getting more and more frustrated at everything people are ranting about here. I already took a month's break but I'm still not enjoying it like I did before. There's only so many days of the same chores I can take.

I apologise for how angry this rant is, I just hit my limit and needed to vent. I've never reacted this badly to a game and it's probably because I otherwise love it so much and really want to enjoy it. I used to be so addicted to playing and put in 500 hours but now I just see no reason to and just get annoyed by things when I log on. Also I'm guessing they made these items limited to encourage trading, which I don't enjoy so I don't think I'm in Nintendo's intended audience anymore anyway. I feel so cast aside with this iteration. Ughhh.

i share the same sentiment as the last posts. i have just not been getting on at all lately when i used to get on every single day. i do like the festivale set (i mean i grinded tting and trading to get all four sets) and im excited for festivale but there is just nothing keeping me coming back in the time until festivale. also the snow has been hurting my eyes especially since i started a new medication and so i havent been working on my incomplete island either.

i just dont feel much joy coming back to the game at the moment, and ive put well over 1,000 hours into it. it actually makes me pretty sad that i dont want to get on so im hoping march brings at least something nice (besides finally having grass again)

 

[Starboard]

1000 hours playtime is so impressive, the most hours I've ever put in was around 700 with NL and that game was my life, despite how "ugly" I consider it now compared to NH. I feel guilty that I might not reach that number with NH but I don't see what else there is for me to do unless I flatten and redo my island or something. (There's no way I'd ever do that).

I've thought about making a third house but I don't think I can handle the grind again. Plus I don't like how my secondary characters' hours don't count towards my main profile's hours, I really want all my hours to show. You have to link them to separate Nintendo accounts for the hours to show up on their page at all. So annoying.

They need to fix the villager campsite move in. It shouldn't be this difficult to get a villager to move in. The one time I did manage to with the b.s. card game, Fuchsia (in my campsite) decided out of all the villagers to kick Raymond out. As much as I am indifferent towards Raymond, he's my newest villager and I need to build a relationship with him and get his photo before he leaves. I have plenty of other villagers that need to go, like Mitzi.

This card game b.s. they make us do to get a villager to move in is just the dumbest thing I ever seen. Kind of makes the campsite not even worth it unless you have amibo.

Edit: Won the card game again, and once again, she tried to kick out Raymond. I'm over it. I'm just going to stick to getting villagers from the mystery island. This campsite crap isn't worth it. We should be allowed to choose who we want to leave.

These are actually features removed from ACCF, and kept from ACNL, and it bugs me a little.

Delivering presents from a villager to another. Why does the recipient give you a reward and not the requester??? I've never understood this.

Villagers asking for a bug or a fish. Why only one day??? In ACCF, they gave you about 3 days before saying they didn't want it anymore if you couldn't find one.

Also, villagers getting sick and instantly healing from one medicine. Preferred it when it took them a few days, felt more real.

They really do need to fix the campsite. I tried for over 2 hours to get Dobie to move in and eventually gave up. Luckily I did find him island hopping when I had an empty plot. On my second island I still had plots to fill so I figured it would be easier since I put down a plot. It took my 17 tries to get Joey to move to the empty plot. I either kept losing his card game or he would say he didn’t want to move.

I just now figured out that you can open and close curtains. At least I was able to do so in the attic room. Not sure if this is a new feature or if I just discovered it. My rant is just that I was very slow to figure this out.

Why on earth are certain Nook Miles items (as well as general items like the Festivale ones) looked behind the color of your airport? I try right now to get a decent map with an orange airport to get white streetlamps (I actually wanted black streetlamps, but I don't wanna have a green airport) and it takes forever to find one. The game focus so much on crafting and customizing, why not letting us also customize those items too? (And yeah I know, I could just trade them, but it's easier for me to buy them on my own, since I need lots of them for my new island).

Also, do I have just bad luck or is the orange airport so rare? I only found two islands so far which had both an orange airport, reasons why I didn't pick one of them was that the RS wasn't in such a good spot as I found out when checking the map proper.

I really don't understand why in the world they thought getting different nook items based on what your airport color is was a good idea. Why can't we customize the items? It just doesn't make any logical sense to me. The only to get them is to ask someone else that has a different color on their island to get that said color you don't have. Its bad game design choice. What makes even more worse is that they are in the catalog in Nook Shopping yet its not for sale but you can still see the color changes as soon as you catalog it. It doesn't even register in the Nook Mile shop either.

Isabelle: No news today! Also I watched a television show and it was boring ^-^

So... Just gonna ignore that dodgy ship that's rolled up on our secret beach? And the celebrity dog outside your window? Okay then.

Don't get me wrong I do like Isabelle but come on, actually report news and visitors to us!

The villager dialogue is super boring. Also the campsite is annoying. Once Marina came in and I was super happy so I wasted like 30 minutes trying to get her to move in but I either lost the card game or she picked a villager I like for moving out. And don't even get me started on the amount of time it takes to move an amiibo villager in. Even with time travelling, it's the worst.

Also, the game is getting less fun and it's a whole effort just to log on. I really hope that Brewster or another old npc comes and makes things more enjoyable. If the roost came back, I bet a whole lot of people would start playing again. I know Pave is back, I'm taking about in the future, after Festivale.

Sometimes I wish we can ask Isabelle to kick out a villager whenever we want and we can ask Tom Nook to get rid of a empty plot if we don't want to have 10 villagers on our island.

Yeah that would be awesome

Stop. Giving. Me. Repeat. DIYs.

Please I’m sure there’s dozens I still haven’t learned but I keep getting duplicates from my beach and from my villagers! It’s especially annoying with villagers cause it would be so easy to just say no to accepting the little DIY card.

It would be better though if I’d quit getting repeats. I have repeats of my repeats, it’s frustrating.

Hey nintendo!

I DEMAND a mannequin!

How freaking hard would it be? :-/

I've had it with the snow. It's making this game very unfun to play. It was cool at the beginning, but now to me, the appeal is gone. It left the second day the snow arrived.

I have been less than eager to play this game the last few weeks and I'm 100% sure the snow is to blame. February 25th can't get here fast enough.

And I'm refusing to give in and restart. It's going to still be snowing if I restart my island so that's not going to solve anything.

I’ve been digging up flowers and selling on nookazon for days. I feel like I’m getting no where. I’m trying to clear my beaches because I planted them years ago there and sort of have been ignoring them. I wish there was like a mass cleanup option for flowers. I decided to be able to sell them I need to put them in order ( they are all over the place in no particular order). Four hours into this organization today. Feels like I have 200 more hours to go.


Gotta go clean up my beaches so that I can decorate.

Like I’ve been selling groups of 15 and so on, and now that I started organizing, all these flowers I thought I sold and had none of, keep popping up.

I know that flowers can’t spawn on beaches, but the amount of flowers I’m having to dig up is making me question things.

I feel you.
I am ready for rain to come back. I miss hunting for coelacanths^_^ (I heard that you CAN catch them in the snow, but I have seen no actual proof and spent a lot of time trying to on my previous island, so I am doubting it for the time being). I hope the first rainfall won't be too long after February 25th.

. . .

I actually reset a few days ago because I TT'd to Summer, and it made the game lose its charm and caused weeds to spawn everywhere, causing me to give the urge to reset. So yeah, I learned the hard way that TTing is not for me, at least not in NH.

If you are anything like me, I would advise against TTing. I know you didn't mention about TTing, but I just thought I'd bring up my experience just in case.

The colour locked items infuriate me. At least with the regular items once you’ve cataloged them you can reorder them whenever. But with the NM items the only way you can get a different colour is through trading. I imagine Nintendo did this on purpose to encourage players to trade and thus encouraging player to buy the online subscription.
