The ACNH Rant Thread

Just when I finally decided that I like the hydrangeas and bought a bunch and put them EVERYWHERE, they went out of blooming season. Now hibiscus are blooming and I had to replace my hydrangeas with yellow hibiscus and it just doesn't look as nice with the color theme that I'm trying for. The red ones don't look quite right either. Ugh, shrubs!
 
It's funny how I had restarted my island because I wanted oranges because I'm naming my island a name in which oranges fit the best as native fruit. Normally I can care less about the native fruit but this time I do care because oranges fit the name.

but oranges don't want to make an appearance. Cherries and apples on the other hand love to keep showing up. Interesting how when you want something, it never shows up.

Yes it is. I had the opposite problem when starting my second island. I wanted either cherries or apples but only oranges or pears would show up. I gave up and now have oranges on both islands.
 
you know, oddly enough every single ac game that ive played ive Always gotten apples as my town fruit. even in new leaf! and i created five different towns in that game and all of them were apples, and ive had two islands in this one, both apples LOL
 
I finally started playing NH about two weeks ago. What's striking to me is lack of content that seemed to be in NL. The random island simply isn't interesting. Just seems like there's a lot less to do. I realize it's a deserted island, but I'd like to be able to build up to have Digby...Kappn....another island with actual activities...stuff like that. I love the new mechanics, so no complaints there, but it just seems like NL had so much more. I'm very underwhelmed by what NH has to offer, outside of the under the hood changes. Harvey's Island? SUPER disappointed when I finally went there.

Couldn't agree more. I still play NH because I started in april so there's still new items and recipes to discover each season. But I still play NL on the side and every time I play it just feels so much more complete. I really miss things like Main Street, The Roost, the PWPs, the island and meeting randoms online. Even the mini games. I especially miss the cosy feeling of an actual town like in the past games.

Yeah I still play both games and enjoy them both for what they are. But, the game couldn't even add a tool gauge for breakage when tool breaking is something you're going to do a lot. And that's like a business/gaming 101 detail that they just straight up ignored/didn't think it was necessary or just forgot. It got to the point where I don't even bother crafting new tools. I just buy a handful from Nook. If you make a core element of the game that grindy where people don't want to bother with it, you missed the mark.

Yeah, I hate when tools break at a bad time (whitch is mostly). It's even more ridiculous that the golden tools still break. What's even the point of adding them then? The only reason I still craft tools is because I'm a completionist that wants to get the achievements done. But I always make sure to have a stash of bought tools ready if I can't be bothered to craft.
 
Meh. I don't mind the golden tools breaking occasionally. It makes gold more valuable.
 
I decided to make a walled garden on my one island and customized many many simple panels to make stone walls around the cliffs. There is also a modest waterfall in that area. And I'm seeing lag. Between the waterfall and all the items, it's probably unavoidable. I was going to top the walls with butterfly models but it's probably not a good idea to put more stuff in that area.
 
  • the fences not being customizable messes up so much for my design progress it's unbelievable. i wish they came in other color variants, I'm tired of waiting for this to be implemented. most of the fences are brown it's so frustrating lmao
  • i miss perfect fruit being implemented, it made me kind of excited to have the native fruit that i did, or just feel like it actually mattered.
  • there still aren't enough slots to decorate the entire town; also the able sister's 'custom designs' stink, i wish we could replace those instead.
  • yeah actually decorating your island with a sufficient (imo) amount of furniture causes noticeable lag, which is unfortunate.
  • really frustrated with bushes in the game. I wish they bloomed at the same time of the year idk feels like im more limited and have to thing about the seasons when decorating which i really dont wanna have to do.

This, and the colour of the wood fences don’t match the colour of any other wooden item in the game it seems.
And then they show off a white colour variant of a wood fence in the release trailer for the damn game.
 
I think Harvey's Island should just already have every villager and every single item in every single variation already available. We can't take any of the stuff with us back to our island so why not?
 
I wish the white fencing shown in the trailer eventually gets added back as it looked great

Having a hard time remembering, but didn't v1.9 or v1.10 data mines find something that could possible refer to fence customization? That could be the key to getting a white fence someday :)
 
I have no inspiration left for the last room on my second residents house. I have completed all but one room. I love how all the rooms look, but I just can’t get the last room to connect.
 
I have to say it: I hate the villager interaction in this game. You get your dreamies and in consequence your excited to finally being able to talk with them and interact and by end the interaction is just to poor comparing with New Leaf.

1st time you talk with them in the day: Hi... Nice day isn't it?

2nd time you talk with them in the day: Wow, you're talking with me way to much! Go away you horrible stalker! Ew...

Sigh...
 
I really wish there were a mass delete option for letters. I hate having to toss them one by one. It’s a real pain, and I honestly have no idea why an option to mass delete letters hasn’t been implemented yet. It could be as simple as selecting multiple letters and pressing “delete all.” They have this option for selling items at Nook’s store, so why not for deleting letters?

Also, I agree that dialogue should be improved. The dialogue is stale.
