The ACNH Rant Thread

Not going to lie. Some of you got low-key aggressive and other times just outright disrespectful to others. There is a fine line between expressing your stance on the game's current situation and being disrespectful. I can't really sugar coat it, but yeah I've seen people who defend the game to be more guilty of this then those who point out its flaws. I will gladly point out its flaws just as I will point out what it does right. Or in the case below me, what NL and NH did that's exactly the same. Cause I see some talking about the horrible whoopee-cushion.

To everyone commenting on the whoopee-cushion. That was how it worked in NL to. Some chairs and sofas aren't designed to have stuff placed on them. So to have a whoopee-cushion placed on it, they would have to somehow make it a new furniture piece via crating. The cushion was like a floor pillow. Could they had made it differently this time around? Sure.

See? Name calling wasn't needed.


Now on to what I really came here to comment on. The game has been out for a year and they haven't done anything for online and or the mini-games. It should never take a year for this stuff to come out. If they're even planning on bringing it back. I can understand anyone's stance on giving this game a pass or defending its decisions, but there's really no way you can defend how barebone this game's online mode is.

You can say how you don't really care if it comes back, that you don't like interacting with others, that it's just not your cup of tea, but designing just isn't my cup of tea. I would never say it needs to go because of that.

The connection is flawed and was even in 2012/13 with NL. We just learned that Nintendo was using some archaic online network for its games and are now looking to upgrade it. Everything about this games online leaves a lot to be desired. I felt the same way with NL's online connection issues and that was almost 8/9 years ago.

If we don't hold them accountable for some of these poor decisions or lack thereof, they won't have a reason to make changes.
 
I went into Rowan's house and wanted to go to his record player to see what the song was and he told me all about his portable record player. But when I went to interact with it again to see the song title, I wasn't able to do it. I just kept opening the cupboard over and over.

Also, the other night I was really tired and adopted Opal from a mystery island and forgot I had her on the island until I ran into her on the beach this evening. Sorry Opal! That's just me complaining about my own memory.

I have this song problem during dreams 😫

Even is the record player is alone we can't know which song is played...
 
I just need one more koi for CJ so I can order a model. Sigh. It's taking forever, even with bait. And why isn't bait available for sale in the shop? Medicine is. In the real world, no one makes bait. Everyone buys it from the bait shop. I mean, bait shop owners make it but still. Ugh.
 
Most useful bait is live. Fish aren't going to want to nibble on something that looks dead if they got something wriggling in front of them. So NH is right in that people do go around digging for worms and the such. Just the way they executed could and really needs to be polished.

Like clams should stack. It's not a donation piece so there's not any reason to keep it to one inventory spot per clam. Plus the whole idea behind the clams is to dig and collect as many as you can in mass for fishing. So right there, that should qualify for stacking.

Then the next problem is bait is used in such excess because of its rng for fish it yields. You're not guaranteed to get the fish you want even if all the prerequisites are met because the rng is horrid. I blew hundreds if not a thousand or more bait to get a Mahi-Mahi and I never got it. I kept getting sea bass. I gave up it's too time consuming of a grind for bait.

So right there, bait (if nothing else) needs to be bulk crafted. Heck even 1-5-10 selections would be better than button mash (get 1) button mash (get 1) button mash...

I'm someone who wants to play legit without dupes and cheats, but even I have contemplated just trading someone to get possible stacked dupes of bait just because it's not worth the effort. So again, that right there shows how flawed bait crafting and crafting is.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg with the flaws and QoL this game desperately needs.

Bait shop owners often farm bait though. I remember seeing the masses of maggots and worms as a kid visiting the local bait shop. Eww. Also, if we are supposed to use live bait, we should be able to take small fish and use them to bait bigger fish.
 
I don't think we should be buying it in the shop but I do think it clams should stack and crafting should be in bulk.
I dont think bulk crafting should be an option for all or even most items, but things like bait should get it
 
I really miss the ranch set!! I was so hesitant to decorate my house because so much was missing... I know there's similar replacements but the couches from that set have specifically been a big part of my decoratin' for years. I also really miss the big nook store from that game -- I filled out my catalog a lot faster in NL because there were so many items for sale every day.

Oh also. I miss Pelly a lot! But by the same token I barely write letters because it's a pain. I haven't written my villagers a single letter since starting the game last year. Kind of wish the app keyboard could be utilized for letterwriting in-game.

The major issue with the letters is that we can't send them all at once. It's such a pain to speak to Orville again and again and again...

Yeah. Things that are going to be excessively crafted should have that option. Same thing with the custom paint kits. Those should be given an option for you to choose from 1-99 or at least 1-5-10-20s or something because some pieces exceed the 5 bulk that Nooklings offers so it's not much of a QoL when you still got to buy it twice for one item.
 
oh gosh yeah, I had completely forgotten that that was something you could even do prior to NH. I'd love the ability to write multiple letters at once again, in addition to app keyboard support. (sorry, I tried to quote but it didn't work!)
 
I started a new island yesterday.
Been building it up with the help of time travel.

I hate the island.
I can make anything work.
It was going okay to start with but the more houses I had to put down, the less I knew what I could do with the place.

I kinda want to restart but the island has like 20 hours of effort and a lot of villagers I want to keep (I wanted hippeux for a long time now and I have audie, Whitney and lily)

Just left feeling down about it all.

At least its only my second switch and I still have my original island. Don't know how anyone could ever delete their main island. I would cry if I got rid of that island and had this mess of an island

Hey man I know how you feel. Thats how I felt about my island when I called it a "mess" but I learned that Taking your time is something I learned and I am now more comfortable doing stuff bit by bit and not rushing through. I did a lot of that last year and thats the reason why I got exhausted from the game. I learned that there is no need to rush to do stuff so quickly.

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.
 
My complaints are minimal. I just wish we had Brewster and mini games. I’m happy I now have Marty and the um...unique rug from his set. It reminds me of Art Crawl from Bob’s Burgers.
