• Guest, you're invited to help build our new TBT time capsule! It contains three parts, with some of its elements planned to open in 2029 and others not until the distant future of 2034. Get started in 2024 Community Time Capsule: Blueprints.

The ACNH Rant Thread

You need to be able to climb it with the ladder, when there's nothing blocking it, obviously.

I know what you're trying to say, but it's really not a problem. You can find another place to use the ladder. I'm trying to say using fencing on the edge is the same way. You just obstruct it and now you need to find another way on top

It would be too high and really hideous.
They have their in game dimensions and physics/limitations all set I guess.

I think there may be a misunderstanding with what I said originally. First, the height of the cliffs right now are about the size of the player, which is rather small, especially compared to New Leaf and City Folk. I think it's actually ugly right now because of that. Look at the waterfalls for example. They are very short. As far as physic limitations go, it would just work. I'm not asking to build higher than the 4th level, and I'm not asking to make the normal cliffs taller. So having the level 2 and 3 have no edge shouldn't function physically worse than currently.

We have different opinions.

I wish the terraformed tiles were half the height.
 
This rant is my fault, but I’m still annoyed. I didn’t play one of my characters on Valentine’s Day, but I thought the valentines letters from villagers would still be in her mailbox when I got around to playing her. today I logged on and she didn’t have any of the letters in her mailbox, not even the one from Isabelle. it’s not a big deal because I already got lots of the candies and bouquets on my other characters, but it bugs me that letters just disappear if you don’t log on. I’ve never heard of this happening unless the mailbox was full which hers definitely was not.
 
The reason you have to have edges around the cliffs is that it would be impossible to not have a gap. There is no where you can stand to fill in the very last square.
 
Yeah I'm essentially missing a whole tile line of ground on my highest level because there has to be a space jutting out on the level under it. Not sure why but it lets me quickly cross the back of my island I guess....

Just thought of another reason why they would have made it so there is the gap around the edge.

If you could make a layer directly on top, without having the ledge, you would be able to make an area of the island completely inaccessible for ever. If you can't use the ladder to get up and there is no way to get to the blank square you would be forced to leave (such as its at the back behind a costal rock) then you have irreversibably destroyed your island.

Don't worry, I get you and agree with you lol. You're not the only one. The cliffs are stupidly short in the game. They were huge in all other games.

Well it would be optional at least. As I'm not asking it to be a requirement or that cliffs be taller.

That would only be a problem though if you wanted 100% of your island covered in a double stacked cliff. You could built a piece off to the side, then climp up on it to build up on the piece you want. Then destroy the extra piece when you're done.

You couldn't double stack cliffs from the ground, so it would be no different than putting a shrub or fence there currently. It would be impossible to make it permanently inaccessible as it is now. Hopefully that clears up the confusion.
 
Ugh I read that you can make yourself a horned hat with a New Leaf QR code, without needing the Nintendo Online subscription, but I just tried it and it won't let me even use the app. Why was this free in New Leaf but not now???

Come on Nintendo all I want is a horned hat :(
 
So an got done with Festivale, and I got some things to say.

Pros
- I love Pave, I love the festivale music, and I adore the dance he does when you give him feathers ♡
-I like that feathers stack now, thats really comvient. Even if only by three.
-You can give Pave any color feather. Not just a set one. Big improvement.

Cons
- The Fesitvale furniture isn't great. I like Pave's Series more in previous games. Like its just lacking. No couch, no tables no chairs no ARCH. Also the rainbow color option is just hideous.

-I hate how they made us jump through a hoop just to be able to customize said furniture. Yes nintendo; I want to craft an item, multiples even, just to change the color of an item when theres customozation kits that do the same thing.

-Wheres the DIYs? Why does Pave only give us the same furniture we've been collecting for the past 2 weeks? I swear this event has been another letdown in a series of letdowns...

I want to play NH soooo bad but when I do I can't play for more then 30 minutes bc I feel like there's nothing to do. (This is a common complaint I've noticed) There's waaaaaaaaaaayy to much space. The island is one huge land mass and I have no idea what to do with it. I go to dream islands, I see that almost every island is all filled up and I'm like HOW? There's just too much space and I prefered how in past games there was limited (smaller space.)

Remember how in 2018 (or 2019? I can't remember) Nintendo announced an Animal Crossing for Switch? And a while later some people were mad because Nintendo decided it to push the release to a date in 2020? I sort of wish that Nintendo made us wait longer because a lot of things overall are missing.

Oh and about the Festivale. I liked it, some of Pave's dialogue was funny and it was fun trying to catch feathers. The furniture was lacking, Pave gives out the same furniture that Nook's Cranny was selling for the event. But I love Pave's Festivale float.

I feel the opposite. I want to do so much for scenery but the the size of the island is small everything feels cramped. And compared to past games, the island is really not much bigger at all once you realize all that extra space you're getting is dedicated to the beach...(and swimming area?). It doesn't help the Plaza can't be moved, so I am having to work around it rather than fitting it in somewhere.

If it helps, you can artificially shrink the size of your town by making some of it off limit with cliffs going up to the 4th level or just filling in a space with trees and leaving it alone. Someone recreated their new leaf town, and used the cliffs to kind of match the size and look.

I am not playing this game anymore until I see quality of life improvements. So sick and tired of my tools breaking and of course spamming the A button just to craft so many items.
Yesss I still can't stand the tools breaking, I lost count of how many I had to make in the past 2 days and Festivale was the main offender with the nets. I'm starting to think if they ever do make unbreakable tools it'll be years down the line, like the Welcome Amiibo update 😑

I'm thinking now that the event is over I'm going to hibernate for a few weeks. At least until the snow melts.
