The ACNH Rant Thread

[Starboard]

If I miss out on a bunch of useful items because I don't have NSO I'm going to be very sad. I got over the variants being locked, I don't want another thing to be bitter over. I shouldn't have to be feel so bad about not wanting this service that I'll otherwise never use

Hopefully stuff like the potted plant isn't locked since the game needs more plants.

If you're talking about an item added with the update, you should have access to it without NSO. If I'm not mistaken, the only NSO-only items are the Nook Inc. silk rug, and the newly added Nintendo Switch Lite models.

Oh, that's a relief then. I admit I'd like that Switch Lite since that's what I play on lol but it's fine, I'm just glad we get some more items

i resisted the urge to rant about this when i got peach's crown, but why... do some of the crowns just not sit properly on the character's head. (at least with the long wavy hair.) the flower crowns were terrible for this reason, in that they just sit on top of your head instead of looking like actual flower crowns. peach's crown has a visible gap between the crown and my character's head even outside of the wardrobe. the prom crown (based on the photo i've seen) looks like it's doing the same thing, if not slightly worse, and the hello kitty hat... it looks like i'm wearing a plastic bowl asdfghjk. it just seems slightly off-model? i don't know how to explain it, but it's actually sending me. why did they make the brim or whatever so wide? i'm pretty sure the regular animal ear hats don't look like that. what happened?

it's not groundbreaking or anything. (flower crowns not included. those are flat out awful.) i just don't understand it and felt the need to rant because i think having crown accessories (or hats, in this case) sit on the head/hair properly was/is a reasonable thing to expect.

Yeah, I feel really bad about those flower crowns as well! It's a minor thing so I don't complain that much, but it would be sooo great if they actually reached near your forehead!

blanche is playing too hard to get... she's making me very frustrated... & doesn't seem to want to move in yet... doesn't help that i messed up by choosing red inside of black.... & i have a plot out for her now

Astrid is taking forever to give me her photo. I actually spent a few seconds wondering if maybe she'd already given it to me but I forgot? So I looked around the house a little and didn't see the photo anywhere.

Which brings me to my rant--there doesn't seem to be anyway in the game to keep track of photos received except to keep track of the item itself. I understand why, but I wish there were an in-game way to track this, like the way the Nook shopping app tracks everything you've bought.

This disappointed me too, the flower crowns would have looked so cute if they sat on your head like normal flower crowns. Imo it looks downright weird how it sits right on top and so unfortunately I'll never wear any of them

I wish we could at least hang them on the wall like the wreaths but they go on that tiny black shelf which also looks weird. Sighhhh. Well they tried at least lol.

 

[Airysuit]

1. Postoffice
2. Carrying letters and writing them on the go
3. Info signs at all museum exhibitions (not just with artwork)
4. Multiplayer interaction (minigames/building/decorating idc)

Yes I'm here to repeat it every once in a while! Nintendo pls listen to this one person

 

[o013 WOLF 130o]

I want more NPCs where is Blanca? Brewster? Katrina? Katie? Can stella please get added to the museum now? Constellation creation? Kicking a ball shouldnt be that hard to do right? Mini games with villagers/friends?

just played the AC track in MK8 for the first time in a while, and can i just say i'm... lowkey disappointed we didn't get something akin to that. whether graphically or design wise or whatever, just... [gestures vaguely] that. now say what you will about the track being "too realistically rendered for AC" or "not having the AC vibe/style" or whatever else, but god do i remember hoping that track was a sneak peek at what the next installment might look like, and in hindsight i do still wish we'd maybe gotten something closer than we did. (just scaled accurately, obviously.)

Getting discouraged again, im trying to fill the blank space on my island. I have been to other people's islands in dreams. Also looking on pinterest and I feel like my island looks trash. It looks random and out of place and it doesn't seem anything is going together.

 

[jiny]

im so unmotivated to terraform and make my island look super pretty, i also keep thinking abt how when i finish my island im basically gonna have nothing to do on my island anymore :/ so im stuck in between making my island pretty or keeping it the way it is so i have a reason to play

I understand how you guys feel and I felt the same but you know what I have good advice. When my island started I didn't know what to think and I felt so lost in my thoughts of what Island to make. I had an emotional break down.

After taking a break from the game I went with a mindset of "stuff that used to look good then doesn't look good now" and then I picture in my mind what can I turned this into and then the idea just comes to my head and I just make it how I see it has potential. Its always best never to compare yourself to others. I was guilty of that myself last year when I was overwhelmed by so many good islands from other people. I learned that its best to just to make what you feel works for you.

Sure I have taken inspiration from others but still I made whatever was in my head. No copy or paste from other's islands. I know sometimes we are at war with ourselves when we struggle to find what makes an island so good but the moral of story is always make how you feel works for you and not worry how others do their island.

I agree... the flower crowns are just awful and the animal hats look weird.

This is how the crown should sit on the head:

From Pocket Camp. Also the smaller flowers look better.



Came to rant about wallpapers and lack of windows. Some wallpapers (especially the Saharah ones) are understandable.... but the new Sanrio ones have no windows, which makes the room really dark and like a basement. It annoys me so much, they're unusable. The windows add light and show when it's raining. Wish windows were an off/on choice -- maybe I want a desert vista mural, but still actually look like a bedroom, too.

 

[daringred_]

does anyone know if:

A. the doorplate glitch/issue has been fixed? (the one where if you gave villagers doorplates, they wouldn't display it 90% of the time.) i want to give my villagers doorplates again but don't want to waste resources crafting them if they're not going to be put up.

B. running with a balloon still guarantees tripping and losing it? rant ahead: i always thought this 'mechanic' was stupid as hell (because why would you punish players for running with a balloon?) and hoped it might've just been an oversight when they implemented tripping, but idk. i wouldn't mind if it was like NL where you only tripped on bad luck days and balloons/coffee would be casualties of that if you were holding them, but now it's like. you can only trip when running while holding a balloon (or wearing the king tut mask) and when you do (because you will), you're guaranteed to lose your balloon. doesn't make any sense. why would you intrinsically link tripping to running with a balloon? especially when it's an item you're going to lose as a result.

I thought I was the only one who wasn't a fan of the lightning in this game. I absolutely agree that the Sanrio wallpapers look so bad with no windows, which give the room better lightning. The innate lightning the rooms have in this game are so bad imo, it wasn't this bad in New Leaf or Pocket Camp, where it still looked pastel. I'm just not a fan of the yellow ones that looks like some dark basement or the white one that's simply too harsh!

 

[coldpotato]

So I got a whoopee cushion and wow..
Why nintendo, WHY did you make it so the whoopee cushion won't sit on top of most chairs, and the ones that it will sit on top of you cannot sit on. How are you supposed to fool your friends? This is so, so stupid..

 

[Bluebellie]

Not a rant, but a question- Why does every single person in this community want Brewster so bad? Like I don't get it. What's he going to add to the game other than coffee and another shop i'm not going to have room for. I just don't understand why he's so desperately needed. I barely even noticed him in New Leaf. But then again, that's just me.

OK, so this is part question and part rant.

I don’t really necessary need a new shop or Brewster. If he does appear, please let him
Be included inside the museum like old times ( I have no more space). I do want him because if he comes back, most likely so will gyroids. I reeeeally want gyroids. The biggest upset I had with the game was when it first rained and I didn’t dig them up

 

[yukikotobuki]

I'm happy with this game for the most part, and I know that the employees at Nintendo probably worked really hard to create this game from scratch with a new engine, implementing new ideas (crafting), and making all of the small details as perfect as possible, but I do still scratch my head about a few things every now and again. Why did Brewster's face appear in one of the first trailers, but we still don't have the coffee shop? Where are gyroids? Why are so many iconic furniture sets missing entirely? Why is the villager dialogue so repetitive?

Like I said, I know this game was probably difficult to program, and maybe I'm being impatient, but the drip-fed content is sort of disappointing. It really is strange that what we received for the one-year anniversary is kind of... nothing lol.
