The ACNH Rant Thread

[VanitasFan26]

I just need to say this and I might get hate for it but I have to express this in a rant. This game feels like a Happy Home Designer 2.0 where it focus a lot more on designing rather than building a community. I try to feel more relax in New Horizons but because of how terrible the Villager dialogue is I just cannot do it. I took a break from this game, came back hoping something actually would happen for the 1 year anniversary but nope all I got was a cake and nobody seems to even care and the villagers just repeat the same topics.

Probably time to take another break then. I never see you post anything positive about the game so clearly you're burned out.

Maybe look at my more recent postings on my profile, before you make that comment.

I did what you said and I stand by my comment. There's more negative than positive...and I noticed you were viewing my profile to (I assume) attempt to point out that I hate on the game. I assure you, you won't find it.

You know what I don't have to deal with you. I clearly am expressing how I feel about the game and you are only just making assumptions. I am just going to ignore you.

Good call. I ignore people all the time. Ignorance is bliss.

I also need to rant about this too. Some people in this community can be toxic sometimes. Not saying everyone on the Rant Thread or Positive thread but those people who always say "oh stop complaining about the game" or "oh stop being so negative" are the most toxic I've seen. People are free to express how they feel about the game. If you disagree that fine as long as you respect their opinions. I swear I feel like I get attacked so much for having a different opinion, no matter what I say and how I get treated.

You're right. I shouldn't be criticizing someone ranting on a rant thread. That's on me.

I do think if the game bothers you that much though taking a break from it isn't the worst idea.

I do agree and think you should fully be allowed to express your opinion, whether it is positive or negative. That is certain.

However, when you say "all I got was a cake and nobody seems to care," that's not entirely, in my opinion. It's not that we don't care; it's that Nintendo did give us more than just a cake. We got way more design slots, Sanrio items (and villagers if you're lucky enough to get the cards), more furniture coming up, and more. It's not a big update some fans wanted, but I think saying that everyone is just happy with a cake and don't care is false because a cake is not all we were given.

I need to clarify when I said "nobody seems to care" I was referring to the characters in the game itself, not the people in the community.

Ahhhhh okay, that's my bad then. I thought you meant actual players. Sorry about that, and forget what I said then!

I’m back to complain more.
Why is time traveling discouraged? In every game since after GC, it’s been shunned but not entirely made pointless. Events don’t work unless it’s the day of, which is just terrible. Nintendo is destroying this game mechanic by mechanic

I think you would benifit from a longer break from the game. It was only 2 weeks ago you decided to take that break.
I think when people suggested to you that you take a break from the game they meant a month or 2.

Even the activities we find most fun in life can burn us out if we do too much of it.

Story of seasons comes out this week, or is already out depending on location. Might be worth looking in to that game for a breather.

Anyone is free to time travel, and I personally don't hate anyone if they choose to. Nintendo has designed the game so it works in real time, and not on a fake in game clock like other games (Breath of the Wild and Skyrim for example), and since it can be exploited, they discourage it. The game does not run on a live server, so it's impossible for Nintendo to stop time travel.

You are free to time travel to events. The time lock is only for future events, and that's likely done to stop spoilers. Once the event is unlocked you can always TT backwards and forwards to them.

at 6:51 pm, i dug up a couple of bamboo trees so i could get the new natural ramp in, before knocking out some of the cliff

before

progress

after

but it rejected me.. so i did more

but it still rejected me... so i had to fill it in again

it said that it was cause of the rocks...



& then i couldn't dig anymore cause of the pond

*well, i was going to move the pond over slightly, anyway... but still *

 

[JKDOS]

it said that it was cause of the rocks...

Because Lloyd needs a place to stand, the rocks will get in the way here

So the pond will need to be pushed back..or you can maybe build the incline horizontally instead?

i tested out my theory... look! i found another way around it ^^ :3

edit at 7:37 pm: i think i might have found a little flaw in my theory... what do you think? cause i'm not sure

edit at 7:43 pm: i made changes a bit

edit: at 7:47 pm: i turned it around, cause i thought it looked better

Eeeh, I don't think a break is going to change people's opinion on the game. Look, I've found myself enjoying the game more and coming to peace with it on my own term simply accepting that this is a new game and this is what it has to offer, it won't ever be any previous AC, but I enjoy decorating a lot and that's something other AC didn't give me as well. I do find myself missing previous furniture, but I have also grown attached to some of the new items here. This game is simply a completely different formula.

Now, I don't think just because people have a negative opinion on the game's actual state that means they need a break, just how did we reach that conclusion? Because to me it simply seems that... they aren't satisfied with it, it can't be any more clear, and that's valid. I do see people who aren't satisfied talked down to more than I see it the other way around, and truly this shouldn't happen. There's no growth without criticism, so hopefully, you are heard and the game becomes more enjoyable for everyone! That should always be the end goal, so I do hope that later down the road, this game fulfills both parties equally. Enjoy the game at your own pace, and take it easy!

Edited to remove my comment as it was not constructive to getting along.

Instead I would like to say I really wish they would release amiibo for the villagers released with new horizons. I am fed up of the campsite method trying to get Megan.

I dont mind the loading times for the game at all. Mostly I can hardly tell they're there. That is until you need to turn the game on and off hundreds of times in a row. Then you get to see a lot of it.

I’ve lost all inspiration. I have about two tiny areas in my island that to complete to finish off the bottom part of my map, but nothing seems to fit there. It’s a bummer because the layout and everything is done, just need the decorations.
