The ACNH Rant Thread

[VanitasFan26]

Even after the 2.0 update the villagers still feel lifeless and talk like robots. Since I collected every villager photo and restarted my 2nd island I felt like it made no much different because I can predict what every villager is going to say since i heard it 500 times. Like okay I get it, you're suppose to talk them throughout the day, but I ask what is the point of doing that if those conversations get repeated day after day? Even sometimes there are pieces of dialogue that are locked behind doing certain things that you may not noticed.

Like for example when I transfer my user to the 2nd switch, I go back on my main island and speak to the villager who says something like "Oh well I was invited by someone but apparently they are no longer around" like it blew my mind when they say that because I never seen it before. It should not be this hard to just get new dialogue you haven't seen before.

I can give you some peaches and pears.

That is very kind of you, but I am not part of Nintendo Online. I'll be fine. Thank you though.

I reset my island about 3 weeks ago and now the game refuses to let me have 3 stars and I've done everything I was supposed to do to get 3 stars and yet it just REFUSES to bump me up and I've been trying for 2 days. I planted a bunch of trees, I have a bunch of flowers, trees and furniture outside, I have 8 villagers with a 9th moving in, all my weeds are picked up, I have no trash or random items on the ground and yet, the 2 star rating lingers. This game definitely punishes new players or people who reset because it locks everything behind the 3 star rating and then refuses to give you said 3 star rating.

I've lost interest in this game. I have other games I could be playing and having fun with. I don't have the energy to deal anymore with this game and it's 'locking everything behind an impossible to achieve rating.' Yeah, so much for being a 'fun game'. This game is nothing but a joke.

BTW, I'm not really done with this game it's frustration talking but I'm definitely feeling myself losing interest. This game is boring when you don't have the 3 star rating. And it seems like after the update, they made getting to 3 stars a lot more tedious and annoying.



Edit: I guess ranting and threatening to not play anymore really works. After I posted this rant and went to check with Isabelle after throwing some more fencing and flowers down (and telling myself why I'm bothering since it will still be at 2 stars) she tells me I have a 3 star rating. Never restarting this island again (and I actually mean it this time because I told myself if I restart again, I have to sell my game) It is unnecessarily tedious and unfun as heck getting to 3 stars.

I don't think I'll ever collect all the recipes I want

I really want all the Celeste recipes, but after getting tired of the game I started only logging on to see if she was on my island, and she almost never was. So then I got really tired of that and now I do it rarely, so of course I'm not going to find her.

Same story with the music box actually. I really want that recipe, I just don't have the motivation to play this game as much as it's required to get it. I have other games and other things I want to do nowadays. RNG sucks.

(Before a kind user offers to trade me recipes, I don't have Online! But thanks anyway)

How am I ever supposed to decide my final roster if I have 413 villagers to choice from.
It makes it even worse I have six villagers of my choice, the other four are villagers my sister chose because we need to share the island and the villagers we have.
Hnnn this is so annoying, I like all the villagers, maybe I should do random or something, Gahh I'll never decide.

Celeste is always so hard to find. It always takes me awhile to find her. I’m glad you can now do aerobics to see if she is here. It still takes time to find her but at least this way I know she is somewhere.

That’s the thing about sharing an island. You feel restricted. I’ve never shared an island or town with anybody so I’m not sure how that would work, but I can say I understand struggling with choosing villagers. I very carefully chose my final ten villagers based on color and species. I know it’s hard being limited to just ten, especially when you could have up to sixteen on the original Animal Crossing. Don’t stress over what villagers to have. You could always rotate them. Having dream villagers isn’t required and you shouldn’t feel forced to stick with a particular set. I think rotating villagers out is more common than you think.

It really is hard to decide what villagers to choose. I still really wish we could use the extra playable characters for villager houses. I have a hard time letting villagers go. Right now I have an almost all penguin island. I really want to see other villagers thankfully I have most of their amiibo cards. I think once we get to spring I might decide to change my villagers based on season. It might give me a reason to let some villagers go.


I really don’t like that on my second island the incline doesn’t line up with the door of my house. No matter what I try it just doesn’t look right.

i feel you; there’s so many amazing villagers and not enough room for all of them. i was hoping the villager limit would be increased to 12-15 in 2.0, especially since new villagers were added in, but alas not.

if you’re open to suggestions, maybe you could cycle through villagers until you find one/s you grow attached to enough to keep permanently? that’s what i’ve been doing, and it’s quite fun; i’m enjoying meeting different villagers and collecting their photos, and if i run into a permanent addition to my lineup in the process, then that’s an added bonus.

there’s no rush to have a final lineup, or even to have a final lineup at all. do whatever will make you happy.

I really wish we had the megaphone or at least and app or something to locate villagers on our island. It's worse because we have up to 3 levels where they could be and some islands are more crowded than others. I got a request from Merengue to catch a barred knifejaw, finally caught it and went back to where she was but she was nowhere to be found. Spent 15 mins looking around, gave up and restarted and STILL couldn't find her. I restarted AGAIN and still couldn't find her Finally restarted and found her at home and HER FAVOR REQUEST DISAPPEARED?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The hospital in HHP is just wrong. When you go to get examined, you can either say you have a headache, a runny nose, or your knee hurts. I guess if your knee really hurt it could make sense, but usually you don't go to a hospital, or a normal doctor even, for any of these things. When I said I had a headache, the receptionist (Chai) told me, "Poor thing! That sounds so awful!" Then she sent me to see the doctor (Rhonda), and within twenty seconds she'd decided on a course of "treatment" and given me head bandages.

 

[Croconaw]

I miss the dump, lmao. I wish we had a dump. I even had a fake dump on my island. I had garbage bags and everything. I modeled it after the one in the Gamecube version.

The palm trees at the island resort (HHP) feel so lifeless. It still bothers me to this day how they didn't bring back the tropical fruit from past AC games.

Just complained that my knee hurt and was given a mummy outfit.

How many times am I going to have to run into the same ugly looking villagers before I find the last 3 dreamies for my island

 

[benjamin_crossing]

i've gotten back into animal crossing since the update and while i enjoy some of its new features, it still doesn't feel like enough. i know that's a lot to ask for from the game developers but seeing as animal crossing pocket camp gets updates monthly if not more, it doesn't feel impossible for acnh to get some new features from time to time. it feels like they half listened to people's criticism, threw us a large update, and called it quits.

villager dialogue is still extremely repetitive and lacks all sorts of flavor. i think nintendo thought they were doing a major favor by introducing the ability for a villager to come over/invite you over but they still act mostly the same to me. and once again, putting effort into villager interactions shouldn't be a lot to ask for knowing how villagers were in previous games.

the new store district or whatever it's called is cute, yet unrealistic to me. its not that i don't have enough bells to do it, its just that it feels like a waste of my bells especially when i'm in the middle of working on my island. if i recall correctly each store is 100,000 bells? why not something smaller like 50,000? i would love to have access to all of the stores and i probably will eventually slowly unlock them because it would make decorating easier and more accessible (for example my island is nature based and i have a lot of flowers and gardens so having access to leif 24/7 would be great) but i feel like it doesn't have to be so expensive.

Okay I need to vent because I just saw Pokemon Legends Arceus gameplay for the first time and I saw that there was crafting in it and I thought "They had to have thought to put bulk crafting in that game" and to my shock they did. So I still need to ask why hasn't this game (ACNH) still haven't have bulk crafting? It almost feels like Nintendo is trolling us saying "Yeah we know you wanted to see bulk crafting but we are just not going to waste our time putting in ACNH but instead improve in another game" Just feels like a slap in the face.

Craft 3,000 Tools and Furniture Nook Miles Achievement is a reason bulk crafting hasn't been added. 40 Bamboo Wall Decorations would be crafted in one button press. It would take pressing the button 75 to complete 3,000 pieces of furniture. Crafting is so fast in new Pokemon game.
