The ACNH Rant Thread

So... you can't get more than 4 types of flowers in your game. You need random luck to get foreign fruits and their furniture. You can't get achievements without the online subscription. If they wanted to turn the game into a new Pokémon type of deal, why didn't they include a membership code for all players? And why did digital buyers only get 7 days of Nintendo Online when the tutorial is so long?

Like I know the answer, but it's so infuriating. At least for the flowers and Nook Miles achievements. They can sell Overwatch and Mario Maker with online subscriptions, so why not this game that thinks multiplayer is mandatory for the full experience (according to achievements)?

How much stuff is tied to online?
 
The Nook's Cranny upgrade is kinda lame.

They sell a single extra item that's displayed than prior to the upgrade, which always seems overpriced and a few extra things in the cabinet.

I hate the idea of the cabinet. You can't see what wallpaper and flooring look like up close like in previous games. And why don't they sell rugs? You have to wait once a week for Saharah who gives you random ones.

The different looking tools are a joke because they have the same durability as the iron ones.
 
I really wish you could turn off the smoothening effect on designs. It can completely mess with what you're going for. It works for some things, but I'd rather just not have it tbh.

I also miss normal long sleeved stuff, and I'm not really a fan of the new custom dresses.

Amen. Why is the selection of possible outfits so few and why do they all have collars? They add apron and long tee shirts into the game and both are not makeable. Nintendo explain please
 
I was hoping they would have improved and actually given the villagers personalities as opposed to how they were in New Leaf but my villagers have consisently been saying the same things over and over again, it's really saddening. They also don't give you tasks to do anymore, I just want to be friends & have a true connection with my villagers

Is Agent S a male now? I saw that they had a blue name tag, yet in earlier games, it was pink.

I'm not sure if anyone replied to this yet but the villagers text bubbles no longer are related to their gender (I think they're trying to cut all ties to gender from the game - similarly how your villagers will refer to your friends with they/them pronouns and you no longer pick if you're a boy or a girl). From my experience I think they're just based on the color / aesthetic of the villager

• why are my house rooms so small bro,, completely squashed all my room plans

• i literally have not received a single task from my villagers and this game has been out for almost 3 weeks. also why is their dialogue so s h o r t

• mail system sucks. paying 200 bells to send one letter when a 4-pack of stationery in previous games was 60-80 bells and sending letters was free? bring back the postal office and stationary or i’ll riot

• fish shadow sizes are rigged i s2g. i’ve got sea bass sizes turning out to be oarfish and oarfish sizes turning out to be sea basses. make it make sense luv

• my tools.............constantly breaking........... and you’re telling me the golden ones break, too??? what’s the point then-
 
I get nothing but dupe items. From trees, in the shop, from presents. It got old fast, how many different trashcans does one need? I just want a dresser or some actual furniture to place my items on for gods sake.
Really makes me believe that everyone is only able to get a set pool of items in their games.
 
Is anyone else having trouble with the updates? It's the only game where I have to access them manually, I'd totally miss them if it wasn't for this forum.

Without it, you can only visit other people's islands locally. You also have no access to QR and clothes codes in general since the NookLink app requires the subscription as well. As I said in my other post, you can only get 4 flower types with your own game file.

If you have a local person to play with you can still get the daily NookMiles for traveling and overall achievements for traveling and inviting people to your island, You can also trade flowers with your local person, but they might be tied to the same types of flowers.

if the happy home academy tells me one more time "you know you can store things you aren't using, right?" i'm going to scream. it is NOT MY FAULT that i can't store my stupid duplicate DIY recipes because the game won't let me omg, the HHA can take their complaint up with tom nook or something but not me because i can't do anything about it and i hate it just as much as they do! but also, can they please stop telling me to make all my furniture the same color in every letter. that's boring to me and i won't do it.
 
Why on earth is the music so awful in this game? There are only a few tolerable songs and the rest just sounds like rushed gargle that wouldnt even be on a phone as a cheap ring tone. To be honest I feel like this game is unfinished, Nintendo continues to operate where they do not finish their game and expect you to pay 64 dollars for it and wait months and years for snail pace updates and droplets of taste of items and events that should already be in the game in the first place.

There are good things about them but honestly the more I play the less I enjoy and the more I find to complain and be irritated over

Ps you cant pick flowers now and it sucks real bad when you have lots of them and want to move them around
 
I really wish there was a pocket extension for event items, the sakura petals and eggs take up way too much room, especially when you'r trying to landscape. I also wish the flowers would stack when you dig them up :c
 
And you can't get more from Mystery Islands?


Edt: also is this true that furniture color in store tied to save and always be same?

Mystery Islands are part of the singleplayer, and they haven't added the equivalent to Tortimer's Island yet.

And yes, everyone has their unique color for furniture you can later on buy with NookMiles, to encourage trading.
 
- Sending mail is super slow and tedious.

- Mail only delivered at 5am every day, compared to past games where it was 5am/5pm, or 6am/6pm

- You can only order 5 catalog items despite having a few hundred spaces for mail.

- Radios are too quiet, and you can't turn them louder like the music players.

- Furniture items in the game have multiple colors, but you're stuck with a single color. You cannot customize the color at a crafting table, and unlike clothing, you cannot choose the other colors.

normal furniture items seem to be that way too actually, whenever i find something from the cute set in my shop it's always the dark blue color and cannot be customized even though i know there are more variations. same with other sets and random furniture items like the elephant slide, candy machine, and basically anything with color variations that isn't DIY-made. it's really frustrating, not everybody can go online to trade for the other colors! and at least you can catalogue those and reorder them when you trade for them, but other colors for nook mile items can't be reordered even with nook miles :/
