The ACNH Rant Thread

So I sell nook mile tickets for bells since i don't really use my mileage pts at all. BUT why are people only purchasing tickets at night? ;-; Was selling during the day and no bites. Night time comes and boom! people buying at a higher price than usual too :/
 
Not being able to perfectly center a bridge, among other things. Terraforming should help but, it means that I have to wait as I don’t time travel.
 

may contain spoilers.
to explain all the characters you mentioned:
reese and cyrus may have been cut off because the main selling role of reese has been taken over by timmy and tommy. refurbishing is something that doesn't require cyrus anymore. copper and booker have pretty much been replaced by the recycle box at resident services. pelly and phyllis no longer have a role as you could just send letters via the the airport and orville. i'm not sure as to whether pete will walk around town to deliver mail, though. villagers teach you emotions so dr shrunk is not needed. you can buy hairstyles through nook miles at the nookstop, and able sisters sell wigs so harriet is cut off. lottie never made a huge appearance in the official animal crossing games, only the spin-offs, so it'd make sense if she isn't in this game. nook mile tasks have taken over phineas' role of giving badges. i don't believe that lyle and digby would ever appear, unless the happy home showcase was introduced to this game. since deep sea diving is no longer a feature in animal crossing, chances are that you wouldn't be able to see pascal. nook's cranny sells flowers, so leif doesn't really have a purpose, but for some reason i can see him returning for a special event.

katie and katelyn should make a return, as katie gave you rare furniture for helping her. kapp'n and tortimer should also return, since there is a dock in your town which doesn't seem to have a purpose yet. i'm pretty sure that luna and the dream suite will come back, as nintendo wouldn't give you more town customization options for no reason. additionally, if luna returns, then wendell would have to as well. katrina is a fan favourite and i doubt nintendo would leave her out. gracie may return, since labelle wears a gracie patterned scarf. rover has appeared in every game besides from new horizons and he's pretty much an icon for animal crossing, so he should return.
 
ugh, i hate the fact that there are all these furniture items that have color variations but can't be customized, forcing you to trade for the other variations. i understand that it's to encourage interaction with other players and i'd be more okay with it if it was just the nook stop stuff, but regular furniture that you buy from timmy and tommy? entire sets and totally random items? seriously? i wish reese and cyrus would come back to help us customize stuff that we're unable to customize ourselves. and that you could use nook miles to order the other colors of nook stop items once you've cataloged them.
 
The fact that items with color variants cannot be customized even though a who system for customization exists is very very frustrating, like was this an oversight? bc I honestly don't know why they would do that on purpose. If it is to encourage interaction with other players then people without the paid subscription are SOL

Also how dare they make so many cute clothes in this game and force us to buy them one by one. Me and some buddies were visiting each other's islands for clothes and the fact that you can only buy clothes one at a time AND only one person can talk with Mabel at a time really slowed down the process a lot :// we spent over an hour and a half doing this...
 
My biggest peeves are broken tools, and not being able to add ALL the things I want in the changing room to the cart. If I want every color variation of an item I have to go back in every time, and remember which color I was on so as not to buy duplicates...which I have done several times.
 
I really dislike the crafting mechanic like hate it, and i'm sad about the removal of art museum, dream service and swimming.
 
1- lack of fruit variety
2- i know this will probably come back in an update but i miss some NPCs sm :(( like brewster,katie,reese,kapp'n and others,i wish they'll come back eventually
3- idk if that one's true or if it's just an impression i had but it feels like there's less furniture??? idk i might be wrong on that one but if it's true i really hope there will be more
4-more things to do,idk how to explain that but more special things like it was on AC with sports events and other nice things like that
5-also this is pretty nitpicky i know that but i wanted them to add some of the pocket camp furniture to new horizons so muuuch,it would be great imo

i'm in love with new horizons but there are some things lacking :(( at least since the game is on the switch is much easier for them to update it and add new content so let's hope they'll add more and more things in the future!
 
yes, i know what you mean by how the characters were all replaced, it kinda makes me sad tbh

i do like the idea of tortimer and kapp'n coming back and having something to do with the dock. perhaps like a boat ride and tortimer and kapp'n can tell tales or sell different island like furniture? just a thought
 
Almost everything was bothering me today.

As soon as I got the old bridge destroyed, I can continue working on my desert. But I have dealt many frustrations today:

- Animals force-giving me items or begging me to do favors when I’m busy with landscaping
- Too many balloons
- I keep screwing up on the river because of my character aim and placement
 
I wish the balloons were more common or at least gave actually useful items. So far, I've been trying to shoot down baloons for Cherry Blossom DIYs and I keep getting dresses...

I'm a dude btw...

At least they'll be useful for when I'm bein a drag kween -3- <3

Ugh, I though when you reached 3 star you unlocked terraforming. I think I gotta wait for...
Project K, specifically the concert

...before I unlock it. I was really looking forward to starting on a specific cliff, adjusting the river, and working on PAAAATHSSS :C

On a brighter note, nobody moved into Ken's spot so I can use another 20 or so tickets to see if he's on an island today :')
 
My tools keep randomly exploding when I'm in the middle of something, like digging up flowers to relocate them, watering flowers, etc. I really can't wait til I can get my hands on the golden tools, I know they prob break too but at least it won't be as frequent. I find that I'm breaking at least 8-10 tools a day. It gets frustrating after a while!
 
Why though? You're not forced to shoot them down. Just ignore them.

But why on earth would you hate them? They carry upwards of 30,000 bells, DIYs, Seasonal DIYs, Resources, and more.

I can't speak for Apples, but for me personally they're just too common. In the earlier games you'd get excited every time you spotted a balloon (although, New Leaf messed that up by constantly giving you those horrible balloon furniture). Now it's just, meh...
 
I'm a bit frustrated about the limited things your friends can do when playing local co-op :(
why not split the screen???

also I was planning to get an actual switch in the future but no cloud saves or save transferring is available so I guess im stuck on my lite :mad:

I still always get excited by free stuff :)
