The ACNH Rant Thread

I hate that you need a Nintendo Membership on each account, on each switch, in order to use the dream feature. It's so lame and money-grabbing. Wasn't dreaming free in New Leaf? (and yes, I will compare NH to NL, I see no reason not to)
Its less of an animal crossing thing and more of a nintendo deciding that online should not be free any more. Caving into the industry standard even though pc gaming shows how stupid it is.
Another thing I could do in NL that I can't seem to do in NH - is dream of my own dang island. It may be narcissistic but I used to enjoy dreaming about my town in NL, and now they have Luna act like it's impossible to do so in NH? What the heck??
Totally agree that this is the worst.
I want to check how my dream looks before I share it.
 
I’m honestly really sad and annoyed about how much is lacking in ACNH. Honestly I love the game, but even looking at the items in ACPC I get depressed, lol. There’s so many beautiful items that I want on my island (for example the outdoor TV screen thing and anything from the fortune cookies). I also wish there was more content in general. I miss the cafe. I miss having shops. And I wouldn’t mind the vendors being how they are (sort of, like not having buildings) if you could set their shop up somewhere specifically and have them come daily/3-4x weekly/etc. there’s a lot missing and the potential it had has fallen way short for me.

edit: and the interactions (well the lack thereof) with items in acnh is also lackluster

I just want to rant that I know we only have ten plots, and I'm completely OK with only having ten plots, but I'm attached to all of my villagers, but I also want to invite a new villager, and I don't know what to do, and it's stressing me out! 😟

I wish poor Label didn't have to stand out in the rain with her clipboard and suitcase. It makes me so sad!

It is a Nintendo thing, but they also actively decided to keep things from us to get us to buy the sub! All the stuff about fruit and colour variations and sharing designs (even from your own NL game) has been said, but now the Nook points items are the newest thing you can't have without it. It all makes a serious case of FOMO for fans of the series so most people will feel forced to spend even more money just to play the game "like normal".

Like if they're continuously releasing things then I can understand wanting some income to do it, but imo there's just too much manipulating and locking things away to make me ok with it. Idk...

Also, did QR codes in NL require an internet connection to use? Because if it's possible to share designs without one then that's even more slap-in-the-face.
 
Why is there such a lack of black clothes!? It's not like black as a clothing color is totally out there. I feel like there are so many missed opportunities - the satin dress, academy uniform and elegant dress for example would look so great in black. If I liked blue, yellow or green I could buy almost anything, but as is, I'm really low on in-game (not custom design) options and it is very disappointing ☹
 

this too! I wish they’d at least give them a tent or umbrella or **something** if not an actual store.

THIS. Give me a sword sheath I can put on my villager's back, a staff, something. I've been trying to create an adventurer look and it's frustrating because of the lack of back items.

I know its not at all what you wanted but if you want a staff for like a wizard vibe, there is the magic wand shaped like a wizard wand, or if its for walking there is a wand that's a cane like a walking stick thing

Appreciate it. I'm trying to recreate a theme on my island; so having something would be good. I mean I get if Nintendo doesn't let me withdraw the sword for example. I'd deal with that, I just want that look.
 
Not so much a rant, just something that bugs me, but with so many furniture items placed outside interacting with the weather (such as things blowing in the wind), WHY don’t candles or tiki torches and items like that go out when it rains?!

yeah... that is a little weird, isn't it? :unsure:
 
New Horizons online is not all that good. All you do is just shop on their island, and sure you can interact with their villagers, and of course have a fun time hanging out. There is literally no modes. I know when the Dream Suite came out last year in August 2020 I barely use Dodo airlines anymore. Its 2021 and we still have to deal with the constant load screens. I mean why can't it just be you can still do stuff on your island, while someone else is coming or leaving?

I can relate to this. There are so many times I've liked the look of something in Able's only to think, "cool, but can I have it in black?"

If you want a sword on your back, you could just draw one onto your clothes with the clothing editor!

doodled this in about 10 minutes, so totally doable and wouldn't look half bad if you took time to shade it more than I did lol

Dang, you doodled that in 10 minutes? I couldn't create that in 10 days. I love it, those are some impressive skills you have! :)

Yup, since I only doodled the sword itself! (there's no front side to the coat or anything)

It's like a X shape in the middle of the back with a horizontal line going through it, and then some decorations to look a little more detailed. It's simpler to make than it looks!

(edit: if anyone wants a sword, 100% feel free to copy this base and shade/decorate it however you like!)

While I'm sure that's true, I can't even make a stripped hat where the stips line up on the rim XD
trying to draw over the curves takes a little trial and error at first until you remember, but the back/chest from the waist up is luckily pretty flat, and you can use the mirror tool and copy-paste tool to speed stuff up 💪

I guess my little rant for the rant thread would be how much I wish you could make villagers wear custom patterns in the photo studio instead of waiting for someone to hopefully wear it someday maybe 😨 That'd make it a lot easier to take photos!
