The ACNH Rant Thread

At least the Roost is confirmed to be a room in the museum. This will ensure there won’t be angry people who have to make room for it on their islands. I wonder what the Roost will look like. I’m speculating sometime in winter. Winter is cold (depending on where you live), and the roost serves hot drinks so you can warm up. It’s a perfect opening for Nintendo to slide this in.

To Right. All this speculation people are giving are just the same ones we've been hearing. Its always "Oh maybe its the 2.0 update" or "Oh maybe Brewster will come" While for me I am just waiting on the QOL changes to this game to fix the annoying issues. Like for one I am sick and tired of always trying to buy stuff one by one. I seriously really don't get why they never added a "buy all" option. You wanna know something odd. When you buy turnips from Daisy Mae there is actually an option that says "Buy the max" and I have to wonder why wasn't this done when you're shopping at Nook Cranny's or the Nook Mile Shop? I seriously don't know how they messed this up.

As for the Direct. I would just take with a grain of salt. I already know there is rumors going around that it will happen, but there is a leaker on Twitter who says he may or may not know when its happen. Even still there is clickbait YouTubers still using the same hype and hope for this. Didn't people forget what happened with E3 2021 when the game was not showed there? This is why I will never trust speculations.

I'm just confused why they didn't have a quantity picker? Basic games have that. I'm no programmer but it can't be that hard to code?

I know and I said it last year before I quit this site. I know people love this game and I understand they love it for what it is, but I think many others will agree that the game needs a big update. Not just Brewster, Kappa or any of the stuff people want, but something to bring back everyone to the game. Even people like myself who played it last year wanted something "brand new" to do instead of all of these repeating events that we've played last year. I know its traditionally in AC fashion to repeat events, but even so all we got this year is just nothing but repeated events with minor updates and seasonal items.

I think from what I did restarting my 2nd island I figured out what the problem was. It was the lack of "Stuff to do" remember when Tom Nook was telling you what to do to invite KK to your island the first time. I noticed that he never tells you anything else besides then. Even back then I was hoping I would have stuff to do if he was to request a new job for me, but he never did. Which is why is "What should I do?" feature goes unused after you invited KK Slider. I think there should be more projects to do on the island so that way it gives us the motivation to keep playing and still keep making changes to our islands.

I know there is the argument that people play differently and this game was designed for mostly those who wanted freedom to do whatever they want and they can have all creativity, but for others who are not into designing play differently. Most people are not into the whole "Design" thing and just want to enjoy the island for what it is without changing it so much, but the problem is that the game encourages you keep designing and even if you got it to a 5 star rating, what else is there to do afterwards just restart and do it over again? To me I think that is just poor pacing.

The thing is, even for a "design sim" I think it's lackluster. The reason being is that why is terraforming so inconvenient to do? Why can't you have a bird's eye view like in the sims to build fences or do landscaping? Why do I have to move my character square by square?

I didn’t know it was confirmed to be in the museum. I would have rather had it as it’s own separate building. Or have it be optional if it’s inside the museum or outside. If it is actually in the museum and we do get it at least we would have it.

The data miners have found evidence of the Café museum room in v1.10, and Café related dialogue in v.1.11 while this technically doesn't confirm Brewster, it absolutely does seem to confirm a Café.

@azurill
The post I quoted above indicates that the evidence found by the data miners suggests it will be in the museum. I definitely agree with you though. I would have loved the Roost as it’s own building.

Thanks , that’s too bad.I now remember seeing that awhile back but didn’t realize it said cafe museum room thought it was just museum room. Was hoping they meant they were bringing back the exhibition rooms from NL. Wishful thinking on my part.

I'm getting bored of my island and want to reset, but I don't want to lose all my bug/fish catches and all the items I've accumulated. ._.

I wish there was an easier way to clean up/flatten an island.

I understand this feeling all too well. I got so burnt out of my first island that I had had since release day. So back in July, I bit the bullet and reset, and I don't regret it at all. It does suck to have to gain everything back again, but it didn't take me too long with all the trading and stuff I do.

I also had a trustworthy friend hold a bunch of my stuff from my old island to make it easier as well.
But if you don't wanna lose everything, flattening can work too. I flattened my first island multiple times, and it did cure the burnout a little bit.

Omg this is soooo annoying! There was one youtuber (probably shouldn't name him) who I used to find was a trustworthy source, in the sense that he wouldn't use misleading titles and would really only talk facts and avoid speculation. But now he's slipped into doing the exact same as the others...whilst seemingly being on the verge of a breakdown if Brewster doesn't turn up soon, whilst refusing to accept that he might not hahaha. He's become a bit of a meme to me and the people I know irl who play acnh. Shame, cos he used to be a good source and seems a nice lad. But gosh hahaha

I doubt it's the same one as this guy has always been awful for it, but the other day I saw a thumbnail for a new video that says "HUGE UPDATE!" next to a picture of blathers.

Considering we have had literally no updates to the game, I can only imagine this "huge update" is simply the fact the month/season changed. So there are different bugs and fish to catch. That you could have caught last year. Or time travelled to at any point in the year.

It really annoys me that these blatant click bait videos are still profitable, even though their reputation has been dragged through the dirt.

I definitely know the type you're talking about and have seen a bunch of videos with similar. Quickest way to get on my AC video blacklist is by doing things like that.

Pretty much every YouTuber is guilty of clickbaiting, but I’ve never seen more of it than with the game updates. You’ll see “HUGE UPDATE!!” but it’ll be one minor thing nobody cares about.

Ok, I just want to reiterate, if I haven't done so already, how much I HATE the tanks for the big fish. I really miss the NL oversized tanks for great whites and oarfish. I used to have an oarfish proudly decorated in my NL mayor's house. In NH...not anymore. Not these yellow tarp rescue tanks where you can't even see the fish in the normal angle. Whoever thought this was a good idea needs to stop having "good ideas".

I totally agree with this. I mean, the fish tanks in AC were always on the small side, but I never felt bad enough to not display them. I loved giving my villagers a huge fish like a great white or a sunfish, but now it just seems cruel. Fish aren't supposed to be in tanks like that...permanently.

Also, the ornamental goldfish bowl is nice, but it's difficult to see the actual fish.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I feel the same way about how they moved writing letters to the airport and restricted you to having to write said letter all in one go. You know, instead of how it has always been. You could always go back and fix any errors, but nope, do it all now or kiss it goodbye. Dude who thought both were a good idea were probably one in the same.

Yea I used to like writing letters to my villagers. I don’t write as many because of the changes. Now I only write them a few letters when they first get to my island until I can hand deliver gifts to them.

I only use the card stand post to mail my other self to the other island different variants of furniture, but yeah I will agree that sending letters is so watered down in this game. I remember villagers in the older AC game used to call you out in your letter when you don't spell words right.

Not sure why they got rid of Pelly and Phyliss to begin with. I missed the post office. It doesn’t have to be like real life where you rarely write letters anymore. Animal Crossing is an escape from real life, which is what this game was supposed to be — especially since this one was released during the lockdown.

Yea. The villagers were harder on you if they letter was not correct. Spelling and if you didn’t end your sentences with the correct punctuationI thought it was funny.

Yea I have no idea why why replaced them. They have been in all the games so it’s weird they are not there. I do miss the post office .

I honestly feel like Nintendo rushed to get this released since it was during the beginning stages of the lockdown. I don’t think anybody expected for it to still be going on, so I doubt Nintendo expected it. Had they waited, I wonder how different things would have been with this game. Unfortunately, I don’t expect it to have been that much different.

 

[your local goomy]

Someone from another thread asked why getting rid of things present since the very beginning was such a bad thing...and to be honest, I can live without The Roost or Gracie or the post office. It would be cool to see new innovations...but New Horizons doesn't HAVE ANY. The letters are tedious, the Bug-Off and Fishing Tourney is watered down, there's one shop upgrade. Removing features isn't bad if they're replaced with something different.

I'm not trying to gatekeep or anything, but I just feel like New Horizons was made for people who have never played Animal Crossing before. Whatever it was, they definitely didn't have long-time fans in mind.

I agree. I also liked using the touch screen to type. Now it's just so ugh to type haha.
