The ACNH Rant Thread

[Aardbei]

anyway, i finally want to express how much i hate that the side-stepping animation-mechanic-thing doesn't always trigger first time. sometimes i have to walk/run into the gap upwards of five times before my character finally shimmies through it. i'm starting to wish that they'd just walk through it as though it were a full tile instead of playing will-they-won't-they with the gap.

I have this problem with a stall I put randomly at the end of the shore. I am able to "side-stepping" it just fine from the right, but when I want to go through the left it almost impossible

i'm getting really tired of receiving notifications for this thread only for it to be another person complaining about other people. this is a rant thread for ACNH, not its community, and honestly it's reached the point where i don't feel comfortable even posting in the rant thread for its literal purpose, let alone voicing my thoughts/opinions about the game anywhere else on this forum. if you don't like people complaining, fine, good for you, but nobody's forcing you to read those complaints and criticisms or engage with them. i'm all for friendly debate etc. and differences in opinion, but needlessly complaining about other people publicly (even if not individually or by name) over something completely harmless to the point where they're likely to feel uncomfortable voicing their own thoughts for fear of ridicule is a step too far imo.

This. Like I said before, this is a rant thread. Don't come here if you're not ready to see hate about the game. Want positivity? Go to the acnh positivity thread.

I dont want to argue or go off topic but for me it wasnt about this thread.
It was about people going into otherwise happy threads to complain. I have no issue with people saying anything on this thread. Its what it's for. To be anti negativity being said on this thread is just stupid. It's why it exists and I'm pro voicing anything you dislike on here

This isn't supposed to be a happy thread, it's supposed to be a place where we discuss the flaws of the game and connect with one another. Not really anything happy. And I don't think you should pro-voice what people say because that's just gonna cause a fight then the mods will have to lock the thread. I'm not a die-hard fan of the game like you, but even if someone says something that I don't agree with, I don't immediately shut them up.

So I lost internet the other night and my game just would not load at all. I had a feeling it was because of the storm that probably kicked the internet for the night. I wasn't trying to go online, but it took forever to load the game into the start up menu (where you see the title screen/a villager walking around your island) I proceeded to enter to Isabelle's announcements, but by that point I was done waiting. I force quit the game. I tried it a few other times without success and decided to play another game. Which booted up without any problems.

It's nice to know that if I don't have internet at all, my game won't load or take anywhere from 15-30minutes or even an hour. I literally went to make a snack and it was still loading. Even after I ate it and I was taking my sweet time.

I feel I've been VERY clear that I've no issue with this thread or people being negative here.
I've explicitly said it multiple times tonight
My issues are with those outside of this thread.
Anything anyone says in this thread is very much fair game.

I don't know how I could have made my opinions on this thread clearer.
I've no issues with this thread at all

Then why did you post it on here? If it has nothing to do with here then don't post.

Because others started the conversation first and I wanted to give my opinion on it.
If you look back you'll see I was not the first at all.
It was the main conversation here before I commented.

I voiced my regrets on making others uncomfortable to talk here. I said that while I was contributing to discussion, this probably wasn't the ideal place for it. We then moved on.

I dont know what else you want from me. I said clearly my opinions weren't about this thread. I said I was in the wrong for contributing to the discussion.

I really don't know what more you want.
I'm not going to say I think differently now because I don't.
I just no longer think it was right to say it here

Ok, at this point I don't even know what to say anymore. Normally I see you shut people up sharing how they feel about the game and I saw what you did to someone else on this thread. Clearly I was wrong but still, try to be more careful about what you say. I'll end it right here before we get to a point of no return.

Yeah, I have no idea why they make the game prioritize making an internet connection over loading a locally saved file that does not require an internet connection at all. The same issue was present in New Leaf as well. To get around the issue, if it seems to be taking forever to load hold down the home menu button until a side menu opens, then select Airplane Mode. The game will then actually load instead of sitting on the loading screen endlessly since internet is now disabled. You can turn airplane mode off once the file is loaded, or after you check mail since that will hang with an unstable connection as well (though it makes more sense that time since mail can be sent over the internet).

Thanks! That's good to know in case I lose internet or power again. I tried disabling the local internet time, but it didn't do a thing.

I dont fully agree but I think tonight is a prime example of what you're on about.
On a thread different than this I did comment about others attitudes to the game and I was right jerky.

I dont like it when people act like the game is trash and I am trying to be more respectful of others opinions.

I do lash out sometimes and I'm wrong for doing so. I want to, but I can't make excuses for it.
I can be awful to people when it comes to this.
There is no good reason to.

Problem is it does affect my mental state
I did quit the forums because of it but then realised I had no one to be happy about the game to.

Basically it's a double edged sword and there is no way I see to be fully happy.
I just need to learn to be better at that.

Bruh, just let it go. This is just gonna get out of hand, so let's just end it, ok?

lol the gaps on my island are so fickle that it barely works when I want it to. But then my villager will hop the gap on something like the edge of a pier when there is plenty of room to not have to do that. And they do that way more then when I need it.

 

[Moritz]

I personally think I was clearly letting it go and allowing people have other opinions.
I dont get how you're reading things at all right now.

I said I was wrong and am trying to do better.
Maybe admiting any fault is wrong when it comes to this. But I did say I was wrong since before you came here and I really don't know what more you want

Gullivarrr has given me pirate clothing the last 10 times in a row instead of the dang pirate barrels or any furniture I want. It's probably just bad luck but dang this seagull better gimme what I want.

He has been giving me all clothing as well. I really like the pirate clothing but really want that pirate treasure chest and pirate-ship helm.

The camera controls bother me a bit, too - especially when terraforming. I don't like the shift from regular cam to overhead cam when right behind cliffs with the terraforming tools in hand. Especially as you don't get any say or control in it, it just shifts about by itself which is a bit irritating when you are constantly having to reposition yourself to place cliffs and the camera is tilting up and down in response.

To add to these, even the cameras at Harv's bother me. I mean, this is a photo studio, and my angles are still limited. To get a good picture, my rep has to be mostly front and centred, but what if I want the rep to be toward the back?

If I take a group portrait, to get the angle front on, I have to have the rep centred, but I'd prefer to be to one side or at the back. In the below pic, if this was zoomed in more, I probably couldn't be where Merengue is for example, though it's better in this pic because it's zoomed out (it's the only pic I have on hand).

Anyway, It's sort of a small thing that these posts reminded me of. I do like taking group photos though, especially for different occasions, so it does bother me a bit that I'm in a studio and still restricted.

edit: Aww, I just realised this was Louie's birthday pic, which was just before Nana left and Megan moved in. Hope Nana is off having an amazing new adventure.

Hey everyone, let's stay on topic and please remember to be respectful to others people's opinions and rants. Like I posted in the other thread with passionate ACNH opinions, here's a snippet from our most recent Bell Tree Direct:

Some players may be very defensive about their love for the game and are sick of criticism after each update. Others may see the criticism as a chance for Nintendo to notice and make the changes they'd like to see. These are very different approaches, but we are all fans and should all try our hardest to understand where other people are coming from.

Please keep this in mind and stick to keeping the thread to the ACNH ranting.

I am stumped on ideas. I’m still finding it hard to come up with unique designs with what furniture there is. I’ve already improvised, substituted as best I could and no matter how many different ways i move stuff around like if right now i am playing around with simple panels and window designs, my design ends up looking pretty much like any other — i know that’s not bad, but I want to make my designs out of the box and something I can look at and be proud of.
