The ACNH Rant Thread

Why are seasonal DIYS from balloons only? I spent so much time and effort farming balloons, and only get a few DIYs for my effort. It’s just idiotic.
Yeah we all agree with this. We hated it during launch year and I am so glad I don't have to do it anymore. I actually gave up and just traded for them. It was just not fun. I was not having fun and I was getting frustrated. A core part of the game should not had been done in the way it was.
 
My Nook's Cranny has been selling me lame stuff since January and it doesn't matter how much money I spend in the store buying the expensive limited item, repeats of the same stuff or even selling them 70k bells worth of items EVERY SINGLE DAY because they keep
selling the same stuff over and over again.

I am sick of seeing pillows, fragrance sticks, diner counter chairs and garbage pails.

This is why they should've added a 3rd upgrade to the Nook Shop.

My nooks does the same thing. Have you checked nook’s shopping daily Selection. The items there change everyday and some items only appear there. It took me until recently to learn that the castle items only appear in the daily selection on nook’s shopping.

That only appears when you have the Happy Home Paradise DLC.
 
Yeah I feel sorry for the people who still don't have the DLC. Its locked behind a paywall so thats the only way it will appear in the Nook Shopping "Special" section.
Yea when I looked up how to get the castle pieces it didn’t mention you needed the DLC to have it appear. I found the castle tower the other day.
 
The game gets boring after a while because everything is easily achievable. There is no challenge and nothing to find out like in previous games. It’s all just a matter of time.
Everything except seasonal DIYs. It's such a boring grind to randomly hope to get one in a balloon. As an adult, I don't have time to sit there and hope RNG is on my side. I wish you could have obtained it by doing something actually fun.

I will agree that it has become too much of a grind. I mean its just not as exciting as it used to be. Maybe if they didn't make the DIYS so difficult to get (cough) Balloon Gifts (cough) it would not be this much trouble, especially when you keep getting duplicate DIYS that you already know. Its repetitive and annoying.
 
The worst part of the balloon grind for me is the fact that it's the only way to get the Christmas tree (and other decorations) for the holiday season. The RNG can be so bad that by the end of December you still might not have found the items you want despite wasting so much time chasing balloons.

Yeah, my rng was so bad the Christmas sleigh was the only thing I got from th seasonal items. It's pretty annoying that you have to rely on rng, and I hope or the next animal crossing game that they make the seasonal items easier to find

That will depend if they want to carry over DIYS to the next game but thats up to Nintendo to decide that. Every Animal Crossing game is always different and sometimes they may carry over features and other times they don't. Kinda like what Pokemon did.

I thought DIY was an awesome idea, but executed terribly. When I first got the game I assumed crafting and recipies were going to be a thing where you could craft everything, but these were also available as orderables as well. It was just a feature where you could also achieve what you want without waiting for rng from the shop and or waiting for the item to be delivered the next day.

Instead I sometimes get a DIY that requires the furniture piece of another DIY. I wanted the gold plated armor, which I found one day, but turns out I didn't have the plated armor which is only available through a DIY. So finding that DIY was worthless until I could get the other one.

It didn't help that the December 2020 they didn't make the seasonal winter DIY available until like December 15th. Like why not December 1st? That means you gotta really scramble to get them since Christmas is half a month away and by the 15th realistically most people have decorated after Thanksgiving and before December even hits.

Honestly I think everything was difficult to get. In the wrong kind of way. It wasn't challenging. It wasn't fun. It didn't keep me engaged and or entertained. It was just a mind-numbing boring grind. And like Corrie said, after working nonstop through the pandemic, the last thing I wanted to do with what precious little spare time I did have, when everyone else seemed to have off from covid, was to waste that time doing stuff like this.
