The ACNH Rant Thread

[EmmaFrost]

I knew there weren’t going to be more added after the first upgrade where they gave us more slots. No matter what though, people will always focus on what we don’t have over what we do.

I mean, it’s a rant thread.

The flowers reproduce wayyyyy too quickly.

I mean, it’s a rant thread.

That it is.

I hope you've found him by now! I had the same experience looking for Cole for my first lazy villager. Like you, I thought it would be easier since only lazy villagers can show up, but it took me over 400 tickets to find him.

I have fortunately and it took me about 122 tickets before I found him, which is honestly way better than your experience, 400 is a lot! I would've gone crazy at that point and just give up tbh! I admire your dedication, glad you found him as well in the end, weird how RNG works sometimes, and the fact that we have more chances on getting them but still having to spend 100+ tickets to find them is insane! I just villager hunt yesterday and it only took me 25 tickets this time to find Raymond, RNG is really weird

Spoiler: HHP

The fact that you can't center the stairs and the building just bothers in HHP

My 3 daily crafting villagers, Kapp'n bottle, beach bottle, amiibo camper request, HHP bottle, and HHP Chef DIYs were all repeats... Every DIY besides the chef recipe were also common pre-2.0 DIYs...

It is a weekend, so I would have had plenty of time to host recipes, too...

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.

Maybe if you use the dirt path on the beach? People have used a sand square to plant coconut trees on grass.

I've been working on custom patterns and the process is a real pain. Which is a shame, because with the smoothing and the increase in colors, you'd think it'd be easier to make nicer designs in NH over NL, but the process is painful.

It'd be better if we could draw the patterns like we can the bulletin board and use the zoom feature (my eyes aren't what they used to be.)

I also miss the QR codes. I like the portal (as limited as the search function is and no top downloads section)... but I like to use the ac patterns tool and painting by numbers takes me days.

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.
View attachment 414067
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 didn't care for the setting a time for a visit in New Leaf. Often I'd rather do the visit right away instead of waiting an hour or an hour and a half.
Too bad they didn't put in a lock switch like they did the light switch. Keep villagers out while you are changing clothing or decorating.
If you walk out of your house, does the villager leave? I know in New Leaf they did. I haven't gotten far enough in NH post 2.0 launch yet.

unfortunately you can't put the paths from the terraform app on the beach. You can only use custom design paths there.

Why do these new villagers talk exactly the same as all the others. Just once I want them to talk differently and they had a potential to introduce new personalities, but they didn't. I had to get rid of some of the old villagers I had on my island in order to make room for the new villagers because of their personality. I can't keep having duplicate personalities of the same type.

I don't want to have to listen to the damn dodo bird ramble on and on every time I want to fly somewhere

1. going into my house gives me anxiety now because i always get stopped by a villager and feel bad when i need to leave to do something else. sometimes i spend maybe a whole 30 seconds in my house and someone comes over? i love my villagers and all but if im redecorating it is an absolute annoyance.

2. partitions and the way you can’t center it, and how you can’t put anything on it as well as things having a mile gap when you try to put it up against it.

3. when you’re building your path and your character randomly turns around to erase the path you just put down.

4. why is the 1st option when you are trying to demolish something to not demolish it? please.

5. why is the 1st option local play or inviting friends when at airport? how many friends that play animal crossing does Nintendo think i have?

tldr; weird restrictions, annoying button management (1st option and 2nd option should be switched sometimes imo), and i no longer go into my house

 

[Millysaurusrexjr]

why can't we hang things on the partition walls/columns it would look so slick, nintendo!!

also. lemme just craft the sloppy set. And where is the rest of the sloppy set? Why only like 5 items? I would literally pay $60 for them to put the rest of the sloppy set in the game

 

[Mialina]

Bridges and inclines are kind of boring. Need more colours and shapes.
Ables killing me. So annoying. Need a shopping cart.
I want my flowers and lamps on my partition walls.
I want to hear my steps on the path even when i put some design on it.

This is my first time playing ACNH for Turkey Day.

I hate the music that plays on Turkey Day.

Feel like the Events this year really suffered because they didn't change much with them.

 

[Envy]

Not a general rant, but just an annoyance I'm experiencing right now. I've been wanting to make a villager move for over a month now so I can go villager hunting for Ace, and have been doing the pass the thought bubble method but it never goes to her... UGHHHH.

 

[Neorago]

the sea anemone genuinely offends me with its ugliness

 

[Corrie]

Feel like the Events this year really suffered because they didn't change much with them.

I felt the events were kinda meh to begin with but that's how I felt about NL too so it's not just exclusive here. I didn't even bother playing the Halloween one this year. I played it last year and got bored within ten mins.

 

[Lyrica]

I want to change my hemisphere! I really started playing without any idea that I couldn’t change it in the future and now I am angry and stuck in a Christmas without snow.
