The ACNH Rant Thread

I'm mad that crops can't grow on the beach. I don't have the space for them anywhere else on my island, but I had space on the beach and made the perfect little farm area. But they don't grow. I'll have to miss out on having crops on my island.
 
If there's one thing I'm not liking from the v2 update, it's the return of the villagers being able to visit your house. It's nice to see it back, but there's one thing I hate about it.

THIS. THIS. It's a silly restriction even with other people visiting, but what makes this "you can't edit anything" restriction dumb is that the animal can walk in at any time, and there's no way to ask them to leave or wait a bit before coming back, so all you can do is wait a few minutes until they offer to leave on their own.

Now, I'm kinda afraid to enter my own house because I could start looking through my storage to grab something, only for Klaus to walk in, or to be editing my house, exit the editing mode, then find a visitor coming in.

Does anyone else here find this as potentially frustrating as me? Now I can't think of editing any of my rooms without a random visitor walking in with no way to decline the visit, or make it end quicker.

I would rather if they brought back the "choose a time then visit the house" thing that Wild World had, if I remember correctly. No unexpected waiting on the ability to edit my own rooms, instead knowing when my friend will walk in.

(Is there any way to counter this, or prevent it…? This was probably a problem in the older games too, but I didn't do interior decorating much there.)

I agree they should have added a dialogue where the villager asks if it’s ok to visit or should they come back at any other time.

There isn’t really a way to prevent it. I think the only thing you can do is to try to exit the house and they’ll ask if you need to be somewhere making them leave as well, which ends the visit.

You wanna know whats funny. In Happy Home Paradise when you're designing villager homes they are still there and they allow you to decorate their home, so why is it that we cannot decorate our home on our island when we have villagers over at our home? This makes no logical sense. They need to get rid of that restriction. Its so bad. I thought villager coming into your home would be great, but because of that dumb feature of how its rude to decorate when you have company is just so horrendous.
 
Looks like the villager hunting RNG is still really bad... I'm trying to find Rudy or Erik and am having no luck whatsoever and also have run into Pango 5 times. 😅 Maybe I just have bad luck, but still it's very annoying.

I guess that's what I'll have to do. With v2.0 being the potentially final update, I kinda worry they will leave it like this, making it awkward to edit houses. (That just made me think: If in another room in the house, the visitor asks to come out to the main room; I assume editing is disabled the moment that happens, so it's even more tedious if that happens in another room, since I'd have to wait through four loading screens to continue editing. (Two to exit the house from there, two to get back.)

Still, yes, that's what they should've made the villagers do upon entering. What they do now is consistent with the player, who can enter their houses without permission as long as they're awake, but this seems worse when it interferes with editing. If the game just allowed editing while a visitor is around, I'd approve of my friends visiting. I've read editing is disabled when players visit to prevent glitches, but I don't know why they would disable it when an animal is visiting, which isn't another player. (Plus, there's the 2-player app, which doesn't prevent things like this, which tells me it isn't completely necessary.)

Hmm... That adds to my wondering about why they implemented this in such a flawed way in New Horizons... That's the DLC for this very game, so...why didn't they reuse that code? With how it behaves right now, it's like they just set the same flag in memory as when a player is visiting the island to disable editing.

I feel like its a lot worse than it used to (or maybe im just update blind)
I ran into marina and celphabot 10 TIMES!!! Within 100 tickets
other villagers I have run into multiple times as well, I wish it was less gacha and they would give you random villagers more often instead of duplicates. It's honestly more cost worthy to just buy a villager from someone.

I think it got worse tbh. if I see Patty one more time I'm gonna lose it.

they shouldn't even give duplicate villagers unless you have seen every villager so far imo

Same here I didn't even find the newer villagers when I restarted my 2nd island. So feeling frustrated I turned to Nookazon and got Quinn and Ione. I wish I didn't have to do this but the bad RNG was really annoying me.
 
I'm annoyed that we didn't get more custom design slots with this update. I can't follow all the design trends and have a whole ass road, mushrooms and stones, a puddle, the ~path~ etc without running out of slots, lol
 
hate that you can't hang things on partition walls or adjoin them to form corners -- they don't attach properly, and it's annoying.
I also wish you could make them shorter or longer. I love the addition of them but they have so many restrictions that they're not as usable as I'd like. 😭
 
Something I find annoying is that while on HHP/harvey's I can add mutiple items into storage at once but I can't do that while in my house.

I agree. I ended up caving and buying Rudy from someone, and ended up spending less tickets than I did to try and find him villager hunting. :cautious:

Welp, had to go to Nookazon for Rudy as well. I was finding new villagers but it was Marlo and the Jock monkey, whatever his name is... I ran into them like 3 times.
 
im sorry, but...

I HATE THAT WE CANT PUT SABLE PATTERNS ON THE FLOOR
also the clothes are so silly (the custom pattern thing from sable)
also why is the custom design slot not expanding just why ;-;
 
I am totally fine with the game and to remind that AC re meant to be chill, playing with friends and stranger and most important of all, courtesy and manners. Yesterday I encounter some player who getting free villagers from me. As everyone know that Orville take some times to load the internet and he ask alot (yea yea online play, dodocode or not, dodocode for friend or more...etc). So this particular individual ain't patience enough to wait for me getting the dodo code, even get annoyed when I said I have Celeste in my island too. Unfortunate for him, after I gave him the dodocode he couldn't fly to my island due to the wifi issue. Then he proceed to blame it on my wifi and demand that I switch to hotspot. I did as he said even I am not very happy with his rudeness already but I am doing him a good deed afterall so okay...he still failed. Now he start to complain about Nintendo not fixing it and rush me for a new dodocode instead and accuse me for mistakenly getting dodocode for friend not for all. I blocked him straight away and pick another person to pick up my villagers.

People, even the trade is free or not, please be mindful and have some manners. This is my very first time encounter someone so rude while trading and it is very bad impression for future. Now I set rules (usually I don't) cause bad behaviour bring negativity to the overall game mood. Hope that people learns to play game with chill and relax feeling esp game like AC instead of being all too serious about it.

I'm annoyed at how bad villager dialogue is now. I hope it'll improve by a lot as time goes on.

Also I don't like that they took all the exotic fruit out of the game except coconuts. Why are there no bananas, lychees, durian, lemons etc anymore?
I wish they appear in Kapp' island but nope! Did not happen!

People want more custom design slots? I can barely fill up the ones I have now lols 😅
