The ACNH Rant Thread

[angiepie]

I've been island hopping for either Maple, Marshal or Peanut and I've still had NO luck. I've gotten all the octopi in the game on these islands and they're the rarest type of villager. The animal crossing RNG gods must really hate me.

Late-night rant here. I need to be able to get all fruits without trading. The only WiFi I can access won't allow anyone not on the same connection to or from my island. I was at a 4th of July party today with a good local connection with 3 other people who had the game and NONE had oranges. This accursed fruit continues to plague my nightmares as I've tried trading for it but can't. Guess you could say all of my efforts are fruitless.

@angelcat621 If you ever get a steady connection or want go give it a go, PM me as I have plenty oranges.
Why can't we multiple buy at the Able Sisters? It's annoying everytime having to go in and out of the fitting room.

I wish it was easier to do things without WiFi. I have WiFi now, but for most of my time playing New Horizons, I didn’t. It seems almost impossible to do anything without it. It’s like Nintendo wants you to pay for their services. Not everyone has access to WiFi or the means to get it. This is a real problem. It didn’t seem necessary for the predecessors.

Something petty that annoys me is how some villager photos/posters don’t match their default attire. Leonardo, Keaton, Coco and Roswell have this issue for example. I think they look cool in their photos (Keaton looks a lot better and Coco looks better to me) but then the vast majority of villagers have photos matching their default look perfectly. It’s the inconsistency that bothers me. Clay having no clothes is sort of funny, but it’s still weird.

Headcanon that once Leonardo moves out of my island (and he will be missed), his weird business suit photo represents him moving onto something more lucrative, and is a gift he sent back after some business ventures.

Lionel's photo really bugs me as he's got his eyes closed!

I wish we could take one of our villagers over to HHP or take them shopping in Nook's, etc. I would love to be able to not just invite my villagers for coffee but to buy one as a take out and give it to them.

Stupid auto fill. I spent hours yesterday looking for a ninth villager for my new town but couldn't find anyone I liked. I WAS going to continue my search today, but the game filled the plot with that ugly pig, Rasher. Ugh.

New Leaf gave a QR folder for each character that you made. Thus you could quadruple the amount of QRs you had with 4 villagers. This is not the case in NH. The QRs are shared.

I just started using some more custom paths since the main ones weren't doing it. (Plus they're always so symmetrical and clean cut. It looks unnatural for anything not 'man-made'

So I made a small construction dirt path and I heard how people commented how the paths don't quite have the same footstep and to which I say what footstep? There's no sound when the music and waterfall tries to overpower everything with their obnoxious sounds. It almost seems like they forgot to add sound to it. Even a generic footstep would had been fine. Now it just sounds unnatural.

After spending 99 tickets looking for Molly, I settled on Fauna. She spawns often for me and I do like her. I saw every normal villager at least once except for like 12. A duck only spawned twice in all of that and of course it was Deena both times . I'll try my luck with Molly through campsite visits I guess. I thought I could hang in there on the hunting for Molly to spawn, but it feels impossible lol. And I feel like most of my achievement mile rewards are wasted. And not once did a squirrel spawn. I get that RNG is random, but it would have been nice to have some rules to it, like after a species is picked, pick a character that wasn't recently spawned first. I know it probably isn't organized that way, but still. But I suppose I can continue knowing that after spending 70+ tickets after Fauna's first spawn, Molly still wouldn't spawn. I won't have to still there and wonder if I just held in a little longer if I would have gotten molly.
Molly just isn't meant to be right now..

Now it's time to make Flick go broke...

Sorry you didn’t get Molly . The next time you are trying for her let me know. I have her on my island and she has only been gifted fruit. I do have her Amiibo if you want molly that hasn’t been gifted anything.

Thanks but it's ok. I have her amiibo too but the way I'm playing my ACNH doesn't connect to internet and amiibos aren't compatible with what I'm doing. It's cool, I'm sure I'll eventually find her through the campsite. It's just annoying how rng works in this game sometimes.

Your welcome, yea rng can be very annoying. Hope you have better luck next time you try and find her.

I've always thought the RNG should have some rules. It's way too easy/common for it to get out of hand and make us lose a ridiculous amount of resources or time

I wish the Nook Miles Furniture accumulated snow on them in the winter, especially the Pergola and street lamps.

Now that I’m finally decorating with the bug model’s I have been storing I am disappointed we can’t put the smaller ones on the tree stumps. I think they would look really nice there.

I think the bubblegum accessory is really dumb. I can just imagine characters talking while blowing a bubble. And who walks around with a giant bubble coming from their mouth? That’s not how bubblegum works. I don’t know why it’s so popular. I can maybe understand for posing in pictures, but don’t have that on your character 24/7.

Y’know, when I‘ve posted in NL vs NH threads, I forgot to say this. NL was better for single player. Maybe this is slightly off-topic, but NH really does feel more multiplayer dependent. It keeps goading you into buying NSO and trading by giving you excess recipes and in general it’s a lot more grindy in some respects. I don’t know if I would say NL has more to do single-player, but it is easier to get into NL single-player than NH because of how progression works in that game.

I hate that items that can be different colours don't show up when you go over them. I mean, it's easy to say Ranch Bed, but which one? There are several! If I'm on another island, I can't just place it down either. I don't want to catalog every item on the island just in case there are variations that I need, nor do I want to keep carrying expensive items back to customize. I'd rather they go to a player who really needs them.

I know it's a staple of AC games to feature the green leaves for a furniture item, etc., but I wish there was an easier way for those of us trying to complete catalogs to just let us know if we need it or not. Even a simple 'New!' next to the name would be a huge help.

oh it bugs me SO bad that even though my pier is on the left/west side of my island, kapp'n's boat will still depart eastward and return westward in the song animations!!!!! i can suspend my disbelief enough to make sense of it (maybe he's turning around in a big loop? i guess?) but every time i go on a tour and am watching the song animation i'm thinking "damn i sure wish my pier was on the other side of my island so this made SENSE!

I think it’s such a shame (and annoyance) that you can’t invite people prior to placing a plot. It was possible with the initial three, so why remove that feature?

It’s honestly ruined island hopping for me—I’m not going to wait months for somebody to move only to have someone equally unsatisfying (or worse!) move in. My strategy is to have an amiibo camper lined up before hopping. That way I can at least invite them a third time and have them move in if I don’t find someone I like on a tour. That’s not an ideal scenario though, and it sucks for those without cards
