The ACNH Rant Thread

you know what's funny to me about this whole bug thing, actually? the lazies in new leaf specifically say when you're inside their house that it might be messy but it's "a ****roach-free zone". now all of a sudden they're obsessed with bugs and talking to the bugs that live in their floors.

Oh yeah, I remember that dialogue now! That's really funny that the devs literally flipped that part of their personality.

So not only did the lazies get a lot less clean, but now they also talk to and make friends with the bugs... *shudders*

I feel like they cranked a lot of the personalities' defining traits up to 11, so now the villagers are more like caricatures. The snooties and crankies are (ironically) still pretty mild, but now the lazies are living in filth, the jocks won't talk about literally ANYTHING except muscles, and the uchis are walking, talking sass. It almost feels like my island is an anime or something, where everyone is super tropey. Lol!
 
I really hate that I can’t plant a tree at the edge of a cliff. It’s basically making me have to create too much cliffs that i’m running out of space to add more to my town. D:

I tell ya, in next game they should remove animal, or make them just move around randomly without saying anything, we playing fancy diorama text-chat now, not simulation game. /s
 
I have skipped forward one day at a time from April to mid-July, haven't seen a single soul at my campsite. I mean literally, not a single one. The campsite used to work, even at max villager capacity 10/10, and then suddenly stopped. I haven't had a campsite villager since before they added the Easter event...

You guys are getting Campsite villagers?
I haven't had one since I was forced to take the first one.
 
So I just looked at a list of items, and they do not have the Desert Cactus (a mainstay piece of furniture). I was going to use that as part of my desert. How am I going to make a vegetated desert now? I can’t even plant more palm trees because Isabelle warned me about “overabundance of trees”.

What would be a good alternative for a desert plant so I can have a vegetated desert like in the Southwestern United States? I wouldn’t put too many plants because it wouldn’t look like a desert.

It is incredibly frustrating. To add more confusion to the mix, I'm still going one day at a time, and mid-August I finally, after 5 months ingame, I got a visitor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, Diva, how I've longed for this day!!!!
 
I am a tad vexed that hybrid islands can only be one of the flowers you start with, found out that in order to get blue roses you either follow one of the most complicated methods I’ve seen in a game not just animal crossing or get hybrid reds from orange and purple that have a 50% chance of being usable for blues and a 50% chance of being useless.
And should you be lucky enough to get these reds you only have a 1/64 chance of getting blues. (That’s a 50/50 chance to have a 1.5% chance of blue roses spawning)

i’m all for working for these hybrids but roses on a hybrid island are actuallya bale to make blue without going through these hoops and because my native flowers aren’t roses I have to play the flower spawn lottery.

Oh my gosh, if I did this for 5 months and end up walking in to see THAT face... *shudders*
 
The dialogue between villagers repeats way too much, I've seen the same conversations multiple times already. I've even seen the same one twice in a row lol
Definitely, I have 2 lazy villagers, but they say "[Town name] is the perfect time, small enough to get around, but big enough for the Sea monsters to not attack" or something like that, but it was interesting the first time but its so bland and repetitive by now
 
something that is incredibly irritating is that you can have a villager request to move in even when you have 10 spaces and they can replace one of your current villagers, but you don't actually get to select which villager you want out, it's just random. I don't see why it couldn't let you choose who you'd want out if it's already giving the option to replace someone..... just makes everything so much more annoying
 
This may have been mentioned, but having to pay 10,000 bells to get a new neighbor is just... why?

I get that you get miles, but... why pay the fee in the first place?
 
The inability to remove a ground pattern if it's too near a bridge unless you destroy & rebuild it the ENTIRE bridge. I was wanting to remove some cherry blossom patterns since the trees are no longer in bloom but this is hindering me. I truly hope they fix this as it's beyond frustrating thinking about the days/bells I'll be wasting just to remove a pattern.

I posted on a different forum that I wasn't enjoying Bunny Day because it overlapped with the sakura event and that I couldn't handle doing both and I just wasn't going to be playing until Bunny Day ended, I got a BUNCH of super mean comments saying things like "Well I'M playing the way the game devs would have WANTED me to" and acting like I was being snooty for just bringing up that this game isn't good for my mental health the way the others were and that there was too much going on in game. That's my main complaint. The overlapping events with so much to collect under a time lock feels a lot like Pocket Camp in a bad way. Especially so early on while I'm trying to establish a relationship with this game. The fact that it punishes for not playing every day (i.e. I won't get a nook miles bonus if I don't) is bad for me.

Welcome, welcome, you just saw modern day AC fans. They will literally trash you for not liking ACNH from top to bottom!
 
i'm still really bitter about shooting down about 50-75 normal balloons (not bunny day balloons) and the only cherry blossom recipe i got was the wand (and the one isabelle gives you during announcement). literally one recipe for 10 days. i even did the trick where you go into the building and try to purchase something to spawn the balloons. i just kept getting clay and bells and random furniture. it was sooo disheartening to me i couldn't even look at reddit or the forums until the event was over because all i saw were everyone's crafted cherry blossom items. this is not the first time i've had issue with the rng in the game, but it's by far the worst time.

Urgh I’m sorry that happened to you. I’ve had similar from a lot of people new to the series ironically. When I mentioned that I missed classic characters and explained why and why I find this game lacking in comparison to the older games I got a ton of comments like “You just don’t want to adapt, players from the previous games never want to accept new”

One of them argued blind with me that the missing furniture is okay even though she hasn’t saw the furniture settings I’m talking about that i miss!
