The ACNH Rant Thread

Cherry blossom season needs to be at least a month now I gotta dig up the hardwood trees when it feels like I just planted them

Feel like this is getting more controversial with the community considering that this game has been out for over a year and Nintendo really hasn't said much what to expect coming in the future. I do agree with some people that the game just feels less alive and the villagers are just as boring as they ever were before. I really was hoping we would get new content and new features in early 2021 but so far that doesn't seem to be the case. I don't know what Nintendo is doing at the moment but, I can see that the community is really itching for a new update and its getting more frustrating.

I am once again here to vent about the campsite.

I really feel like they missed an opportunity with the campsite. I don't know a single person who would be genuinely upset if they removed the campsite games - at least in regards to determining whether a villager would move in! I think it would be nice if the initial chat with the camper was the standard introduction and then talking to them again would lead to them asking you if they should move to your island. You either say yes or no and then the next time you chat you get to play games for items! That would be cute and I wouldn't mind the games so much, then. But because the games are solely based on chance it is so frustrating trying to win them to get somebody to move in.

Additionally, it would be wonderful if I could choose who to move out. Have them ask me if I've heard about any villagers thinking about moving out and then I could choose from them. Having the camper randomly choose a villager to move out adds another element of chance that is frustrating. Not only do I need to try and win their silly game but if they pick a villager I want to keep I have to restart the process from scratch.

I love the idea of the campsite. I don't super enjoy island hopping (I have to be in the right mood, lol) and at this point I'm fairly content with my villagers. I don't really want to move anybody out and then stress over island hopping or end up with a random move in. So I like when campers come to visit because it gives me the opportunity to see new villagers and it would be marvelous if I could have them move in without so much hassle.

I dont agree that it should be as simple as talk to them twice and I'm not sure I agree that you should get to pick who moves out but...

My god those mini games are horrendous!
And the amount of times you ask them to move in and they just say no, and then don't mention moving for like the next 5 minutes?
Its a headache.

Does anyone like RNG nonsense like this in their games?

Agree to disagree on the first bit but exactly! Oh my goodness it is so frustrating. It takes ages for them to even ask to play a game, let alone play a game to determine if they'll move in... and then to lose Because the game is just, "What colour card am I holding? " Like. Buddy. I don't know. How am I supposed to know that. If there was some sort of skill it might not be so bad (although they'd still need to improve the rate at which they ask) but gosh. Picking what colour card (or worse what suit is on the card), is totally up to chance. There's not even a pattern to it or any relation to the personality type, it's totally up in the air.

You can choose who moves out if you use amiibo cards. I don't get why they couldn't just make it work for both ways. I feel like if not choosing who can move out, there should be a list of three villagers you can choose from and hopefully you get lucky enough that one of them is one you don't care that much about.

Because I know people who have spent so much time resetting to get a camper to move in without kicking one of their favorites. That's not really fun. You know how people had to plot reset so much to get a villager to plop their house where they wanted and not on a cluster of flowers? Same thing here. Not fun and it should be more convenient. Imagine if you couldn't move homes or choose where they will go and had to rely on rng with plot resetting.

The amiibo cards is kind of a pain to because you have to do it three times. Compared to how easy breezey it was with the WA update. Kind of annoying. If not right away, it should be a case where you have a % with each day. Day 3 is 100% day 2 is 50% and day 1 is 25% chance. That way there's a level of surprise involved and you could get lucky.

My personal preference for this would be to get them to agree to move in by crafting them something like you do with amiibo.

With amiibo villagers it takes 3 times to invite them to the campsite before we can just pick who moves out. So I would have them ask if they should come back another day if they ask about the wrong villager. To see if anyone changes their mind. Then in the next day or 2 they will be back. Then repeat unti they pick the one you want to move out. I would make it less likely they ask about the same person as a previous visit but not a 100% thing as it would suck if you changed your mind there.

Thats how I would do it at least
Not as simple as they show up and you effortlessly have your most hated villager move out, but still gives freedom and makes you hate your life less.

I think this is a great idea. I wouldn’t mind crafting items for them. I have really only had two problems with the campsite, The first was trying to get Joey to move into the empty plot. It took 17 tries before he agreed to move in, I figured it would be easier to get a camper to agree with an empty plot. The second was Wolfgang. I couldn’t get him to move in because Axel had already asked to move out. It would have been great if I could have asked him to come back another day to try again.

I just remembered Rafflesias.
They would look so nice in my town right now.

Why is breeding blue roses so darn hard? There’s so many steps and tutorials online to follow and not all of them seem guarantee a blue rose.

What’s even more annoying is the hybrid mystery island no longer exists.

Man I don't know how but I remember one day in June 2020 I got my first blue rose. After all that trouble of breeding using only red roses. Yeah its pretty difficult, but the good news is that once you finally have a blue rose you can finally make a lot of clones of them, pick the petals and sell them for a lot of bells.

Doing things like this:

Spoiler: here

This is why I don't like going into random dream addresses lot. Like there was one island I went to, the person had Cally blocked in and the town was almost full of those 'popular' villagers.

isn't going to make the villagers move out faster.

It doesn't even make sense to do that tho.. she's just gonna respawn on other places on the island.
And to go through that much work just to isolate her lol

 

[Parkai]

just spent 15 minutes trying to pick flowers and getting angry there isn't a faster way to do this, lol

Who thought wasp nests were a good idea?

All I'm trying to do is collect wood so I can build my first shop and then...BZZZZZZZZ!

Solution: Always have a Net when shaking the sapling trees to make sure you check, before you can chop for wood.

not necessarily a rant, but i don't really know where else to put it. anyway, just wanted to say i really wish these clothing items had been included in NH because i used to wear them all the time, and my character feels/looks off without the glasses especially lmao.

fortunately, i think most of them are gracie exclusive items so maybe they'll make a reappearance if/when she does. fingers crossed?
also F to the flower fairy outfit, lottie's bun wig and celeste's bow. rest peacefully my sweet children; you will be deeply missed.

you're right tbf, idk why i blanked on the dotted dresses lmao. admittedly, i only added them on after seeing the icons when searching for a different dress asdfghjk. they're not the items i miss the most unfortunately, but at least they did get carried over to some degree.

I thought they were in this game. They actually got rid of them? Why? That was such a fun staple of the AC series.
