The terraforming tool is so... weird to use. Like I have to try 10 times to get the proper corner done.

Didn't think I'd be coming back here, but all I've got to say now is that the Bunny Day event just ain't it. And 12 days of this? Ugh.

I hate that it's happening during the Sakura event too. Like just give us one or the other. Instead I'm having to fight my way through rainbow balloons hoping that I get a regular one so I can have a shot at getting a sakura recipe

storage being accessible only at home is pretty annoying fam ngl

 

[Brumbo]

I really REALLY love that a dollar seventy a month for Nintendo online is an utterly rediculous ask for some people.

You do know a lot of the people playing this are kids, right?

The item management in New Horizons is terrible.

I have OCD, so I have a problem where I sit there and organize things over and over and over and over and over and over and over, just give me a button that auto sorts things by category pleaaaseeee

Omg yesss! I have this same issue. I've had to very carefully organize my tools and resources in my pockets because if they're out of order at all the it drives me crazy! At least the storage at home is semi-organized so it's not too bad.

Also, I hate having to carry around resources all the time cause MY DAMB TOOLS KEEP BREAKING SJDHFKSJDHGHSDF

Today was an awful day to wake up to.

I go over to see no villager has moved into the empty plot.

I go over to my orange cosmos that I watered all of yesterday and nothing else to see there are no black cosmo buds.

I can’t afford to go on any nook miles islands because it takes ages to do these mindless tasks in order to find them.

Even when I can, I am tired of getting ugly crap like T-Bone and Anabelle on islands. The price for those tickets is so bad here, and I’m starting to not see the point of even going to them. 250k for 1 NMT is just pathetic. We’re letting the dupers win.

I’m done for the day. Maybe next time I’ll start time traveling.

It is going to take some practice, I've only tried it for about 5 minutes before leaving to work, and it was a bit tricky.

Move ins are random, and probably done on purpose to give you time to invite

have fish always been this stupid in previous games

No, they’re definitely a lot dumber this time around. I think that they were the smartest in new leaf, but I’m not totally sure

In the past, the gold and silver fishing rods made fish more attracted to your lure, but now I think that’s been done away with. :/

 

[TortimerCrossing]

This has probably been said but WHY can we not store extra DIYs in our storage? Keeping them out on my island until I have someone to give them to is so infuriating.

 

[Bluebellie]

I’m really mad about planting trees. I’ve been terraforming, and while that’s super hard, and completely destroyed me wanting a natural town (everything is coming out square-ish), planting trees seems to have more limitations than in this game than it did in new leaf. You can’t plant them right next to patterns or the plaza!




Edit: it looks like you can plant them next to patterns and plaza....it’s just the terraforming that’s not letting me do what I want.

Online is not required for fruits.

Fruits can be gained through villager mail
Random Island
and in-game mother (Mom)




if you ever played New Leaf, and experienced its unlock system, you'd know 5k is nothing... There are online guides for this game, as-well-as these forums for help.




Celeste does not spawn shooting stars, nor come with them. Nothing is being given to you for free on a golden platter. You're just going to need to wait for a meteor shower night

I haven't seen any results from sending letters to villagers yet, nor have I seen others getting any fruit from them either.

I didn't play new leaf. I just wish I knew that the first time I saw Mable.


I know Celeste doesn't. I am annoyed I have yet to even a single shooting star.

You do know a lot of the people playing this are kids, right?

To add to this: you do know we're experiencing a global pandemic that's kinda crashed the economy and that you don't get charged $1.70 a month for NSO but rather $20 upfront which is way different, right?
(Not directed at you, but the person you were responding to in case it's not clear lol)

 

[starlightsong]

i don't understand why people are like "new horizons is obviously way better than new leaf because i only play NL for 30 minutes a day but i play NH for 6 hours a day" because i mean.... duh? of course you play the game that just came out 2 weeks ago more than the one that came out 8 years ago and had its last update 4 years ago? i too play NH more currently and NL is my favorite animal crossing lol, i went through huge periods of obsession with it where i also played it for 6+ hours a day on and off for years. also, i don't get the idea that you're not allowed to compare NL and NH. of course we're allowed to compare them, it's only natural to take two games in the same series and look at the pros and cons of each! if someone likes NL better than NH and feels like NH is lacking then let them, it's not harming you.

would also like to rant about this rant thread, actually: not everything has to turn into a debate. that's not the point of a rant thread. i hate seeing people come on here and tell others their opinion is wrong and if it happens to me i will not respond to it.

I feel like there is some weird design choices made.

- When hoarding bugs/fish before the museum unlocked, I felt bummed I missed out on Blathers' dialogue on the critters because I didn't want to submit each item one by one. I thought if I asked him to explain, I could pick out the critter from the encyclopedia but instead I have to bring him another submitted creature.

*You give the player the option to revisit Blathers' tidbits but I have to bring him the item again. That's oddly backwards.​

- I like the interior design mechanism for the house but it's weird I can't use that same power to place buildings or infrastructures. I feel like we should've gotten the grid format. I basically use my native fruit to draw out lines to get my placements right. I did that in New Leaf too.
- This one by one buying in the Able Sister's fitting room is a killer. I want to be able to multi-select three different shirts. I find myself going in and out, in and out.. over and over again. I feel like a lunatic. She might think I'm a lunatic.
- I'd like to multi-craft my diy items. Maybe not all, but fish bait would be nice. I collect 10 clams and I have to one by one crush clams into powder for bait. It's odd that spamming the A button speeds up the animation but why not let me craft 10 clam powders in one-go? Wild.
- I don't like that there is no universal locker storage to dump things I've collected especially in a friend's town. So if I do the lunatic in and out fitting room sequence where I have 5 shirts and 3 glasses. I have to leave the island to dump all my crap out. I hope they can expand the airport a bit more.
- I don't understand why I can craft items with online play but I can't customize them. Why is that not aloud?

One last thing, which is just my dumb fault. I keep plucking flowers because I'm so used to the format in NL. This happens frequently when I'm using my shovel and I want to sweep the hole away with my feet. I will be standing on a flower with a hole in front of me and I try to sweep it but I pluck the flower instead. Nooooo!

I've had growing annoyance with the Bunny event. The eggs drop way too often and replace normal resources. I chopped two trees and 5 of the 6 drops were wood eggs... Wasp nests come in addition to the standard resources, for example. Why do the eggs replace everything?

 

[mocha.]

Minor annoyance: every time you go to send a letter it shows “you can send a letter for 200 bells”. I’d understand if the price were to change everyday but it doesn’t, it annoys me especially when I’m sending gifts to friends because it feels like it makes it a much longer process than it needs to be.

 

[Fey]

Would’ve named it Easter Island if I had known it’d be raining eggs.

Seriously though. Enough with the eggs for Nook’s sake! >.<

 

[Romaki]

Man, the waters are just so bad. C.J. is on my island today, and I fished 13 eggs to 7 fish. Why couldn't the eggs just be their own thing with different shadows? With all this Bunny Day thing we still get the same amount of fossils and bugs, but not fish.
