The ACNH Rant Thread

[0orchid]

This isn't about the game itself but 2 things, one is about the forums and 1 is about my console. (Hopefully I'm not posting in the wrong place but this seems to be a vent thread?)

Every day I see so many threads with a topic of what people dislike about the game but I only see a handful of ones asking people for positive opinions only. It seems like people think they're in the minority disliking the game but judging my the topics on here that doesn't seem to be true. I feel like there should be a master thread people use for complaints about the game, like this one, so there aren't constantly new redundant threads about what people dislike. Disliking things about the game is a valid opinion but it's kind of annoying sometimes to see new thread titles asking "what do people hate about x?" 24/7. It's not super constructive and becomes an echo chamber at a certain point. I don't read those threads though and usually it's just whatever because I acknowledge people can express what they want to and I can just avoid reading it.

Anyways, I suddenly started experiencing bad joy-con drift that was tolerable at first but now makes my game almost unplayable at times. I'll start walking endlessly in one direction (left) nearly every time I'm standing still, and if I have my inventory open and I'm not actively moving the joystick it will do a rapid scroll to the left. I ordered new joy-cons but I'm kind of disappointed that I've only been playing for 2 weeks and it's glitching (I had my switch before ACNH but I only got it for ACNH so I didn't use it).

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having problems with your joycons! If you’ve only brought them recently, couldn’t you contact nintendo and get them to fix them? It’s a well known problem with the system and I heard somewhere that they were repairing joycons for free because of it.

Thanks! I got it last summer but I just hadn't used it up until the ACNH release. I had read somewhere they can do free joycon repairs but I wasn't sure about the status of that with the current covid 19 pandemic so I bought a new set. I'll probably send in my current pair once things have calmed down.

I hate how the party popper, pan flute, and ocarina cannot be put on top of tables. Will Nintendo fix this in the next update?

Can't agree with first statement, look at popular places like reddit and twitter, there is soo much positivity about game
But should you post something negative, you will be downvoted/watered down etc. etc. (also devs usually look at social media, and in very rare occasions on forums)

About joy-cons, you can try spray some wd-40 to temporary fix drifting

I wish they fix this, it looks like a bug, annoying and strange

The castmaster nook mile achievement is brutal for me I've gotten within 25 fish left several times and it seems as soon as I check my stats I get psyched out and miss shortly after. I think I'm finally close again but I can't check out of fear this will happen again

update: I finally got it now I can fish in peace and it won't matter if I miss one!

This is turning out like the Sims series (my other all time favorite game). The Sims 2 was the peak for the game. Sims 3 blew up the boundaries but had blander social interactions. Sims 4 is the prettiest but shallowest of the games and it's more of a sequal to the Sims 2.

I'm not gonna say WW or CF are the peak of AC. But NH feel more similar to the old games, except for being watered down, and WAY more prettier. (the Sims and AC aren't completely parallel, but those who were introduced years ago to the AC games can maybe see the point I'm making).

And if the communities are alike. A handful of us will be able to see past the shallow features like just decorating, and will be very frustrating.
THEN, there will be the rest of the community, that will just eat up everything in the game and Nintendo will probably just cater to them.

I've been playing both games for over 12 years. It sucks.

I agree with that! Both about the sims and animal crossing. Played both games since their early days. It makes me sad to see their directions.

I finally unlocked terraforming but now I'm going to rant because I still have to wait because of the forced events, I have to wait until Monday for KK Slider to do his concert. So I guess my island will stay trashed for the next few days.

Really annoying how this happened right before two events back to back. It's like this game is doing everything it can to keep me from getting terraforming.

A way i fixed my joycon drift was taking some hand sanitizer squirting it onto a q tip and cleaning under the thumb stick, moving the thumbstick around for about 30 seconds then leaving ti try to, havent had drift issues yet after

 

[RomanRichter]

Good stuff, My Dudes now only speak about fishing tournament! And nothing else!
They repeat same phrases again and again!

 

[Hay]

Has anyone else had the issue about how stubborn the fish are? Ill throw my rod in and as soon as i do they turn!!!!

Yes, catching fish is not that hard, but doing it 100 times in a row without missing is nerve-wrecking. I got to 79 and then whiffed. I think you can cheat and close your game before saving if you miss, but I'm not sure about that.

How are we supposed to find hand sanitizer for fixing a joycon during these times?

the fact that certain items come separately in different colors that you can't customize is just annoying .. especially with the nook miles items, how everyone has different colors of them and if you need a certain color, you'll have to trade with someone. that's ANNOYING and inconvenient. i can customize my fountain but i can't customize my streetlamp????

 

[IslandGuy]

some dialogue and animations takes so much time to get through. Don't get me started when an npc pulls out their phone to give you a DIY. heavy breathing

 

[OctoLiam]

I am stuck in the lower part of the island due to both rivers going south. lol talk about jail

This is done on purpose if you don't know, makes you feel more adventurous like you can't get over once you do certain things. It's just for game play to get you started.

 

[DaviddivaD]

I've yet to see the White Picket Fence being sold on the Nook Stop. I saw it on some official Nintendo screenshots. I don't know why we can't customize the simple wooden fence and color it white since looks like the former, just not white.

Hey! I had an unbearable left joy con drift and fixed it quickly through this method:

As the video states, it doesn’t fix all joy con drifts, but it certainly fixed mine!

 

[Cutiekuma]

Why can't you turn down or off the music? Sometimes I want the sound effects but don't want to hear the same hourly songs the 80000000th time and in other games you can do it...

 

[Iemon]

Either I haven't found the option for that yet, but I hate how you can't change the sleeve length of t-shirts or dresses when you create a qr design? So yeah I can make a long sleeved dress with the coat but it has the permanent collar which I can't remove if I want to make an off the shoulder dress? Also if you scan an older qr code that's a long sleeve dress, the design shows up normally like the basic dress just with long sleeves. So if it's already in the game, why would they remove the feature to change sleeve lengths for each design?????

Please someone tell me I'm just stupid and there actually is an option to change it.

 

[PaperCat]

this is a very measly complaint but as someone who sucks at getting bells cause i dont play very long each day, the 50k moving fee for a building sucks. i want to move my museum, able sisters and possibly my house >.<;
I also get the worst islands from the nook miles tickets.
And me and my friends tried to go to an island together and we cant, which is so lame.
