The ACNH Rant Thread

[Romaki]

The luck is really too random. On my old savefile I never got a third fruit despite sending letters daily. Now that I just restarted I find the third fruit for my island with my third NMT.

I also hate how fruits are always paired up with each other. Everytime I go with Peach the game just sends me Pear as my official foreign fruit. New Leaf already annoyed me with that, they shouldn't be linked.

My official foreign fruit is also pear, though my native fruit is apple (and my mom sent me oranges). We sure it's paired?

What is official foreign fruit?

i hate that it hasn’t been a month since release and there has been TWO villager trade glitches.

i’ve farmed NMTs doing trades cause i don’t have access to amiibos to get marshal and now his house is glitched with “i’ve moved out,” but obviously he’s still in the island. the other villagers talks about him. i even tried sending him mail, and he replied.

i’m not even touching the game anymore until they fix this. i’m so annoyed by the slow response. companies been hiring social media teams as additional customer support, and you don’t see nintendo just at least reassuring people that they’re working on some solution.

It's probably pure speculation at this point, but I believe it's the foreign fruit you find on NMTs. It seems the game locks you to only finding 1 other kind of fruit on those islands. For me, when it's not Apples, it's Pears.

I also heard different things about this and flowers, someone found every type, others found nothing

Is anyone stressed out by pathing?

I am so stressed at the fact that you can’t fully paint over grass with paths (there is always a little corner of grass), and that there is no great way to connect diagonal bridges to them. I’ve been trying to make nice paths all day but the more I do it, the worse I think it looks. Ahh!

The final upgrade hasn't been revealed yet, so you couldn't possibly know it's small. You may be referring to the first upgrade. It's small because it isn't the final.

We literally don't know this, though. I'm not trying to be rude, but Nintendo has at no point stated that they're going to release an update that includes another Nook's Cranny upgrade... or if they have, it's news to me. We can theorize or even expect they will because of past precedent, but at this point, it's all speculation.

What is official foreign fruit?

I think it’s the alternative fruit you get on the Nook Miles Islands. My town fruit is the cherries, but I occasionally see oranges on Nook Miles Islands (hence why I call it the Orange Island). Coincidentally, the oranges were the only fruit I didn’t have in my town until I discovered these.

Basically reason why I will wipe every road on my island, otherwise I need to move around most of my island

We literally DO know this. It's been datamined. And it's asinine to think the first upgrade is the last.

This game is like the definition of two steps forward and one step back. So many glaring omissions here that, to me, don't make this the definitive AC game. For now I consider GameCube and New Leaf to still be better.

Well, I guess there goes my theory. It was definitely paired like this in New Leaf though, I had a couple of towns where I went with pears just to get the peaches from Isabelle. My first island had apples and I always had cherries on any random island, while also getting them from mom.

I hadn't heard that, but if so, that's very encouraging. In my experience, though, datamines aren't always reliable and I'm not considering it a 100% sure thing until Nintendo says something.

And I'm not sure I'd go so far to call it asinine, when every AC game in the past had all upgrades available in base game from the start. In AC it's always been what you see is what you get (with exception of Welcome Amiibo i suppose, which was pretty far into the game's lifespan) and while others have pointed out this isn't anything new in the video game industry at this point, I have never personally played a game that used the "living game" model outside of indie PC games. So this is all very new and strange to me.

Really wish there was a way to turn off the constant wind.

I have peaches native and cherries on my NMT tours. I got pears from Mom though.

If there is pairing it might be tied to something else like your birthday.

I wish the game had an option to "fail" Miles+ tasks, or cycle them out if they become impossible due to the passing of time. I got told to catch a Madagascan Sunset Moth at around 3pm and no matter how many bugs I caught, one just refused to spawn. Now I'm stuck with 4 Miles+ task slots for the rest of the night.

I sure hope you don’t live in Wyoming!

Some people take this game waaaay too seriously.. I know I shouldn't find this funny but I can't help myself:

Spoiler

Not at all condoning actual harassment irl but WHAT
how are smug villagers harassing people?? they have cute dialogue?? loool animal crossing really isn't for everybody, especially considering how the villagers have gotten 1000% more tame with the way they talk since gamecube!! you don't even have to talk to a villager if you hate them

I do agree with many people that the older entries in the series were much better. So many things are lacking in this game. I won't rip too much into the lack of NPC's and buildings, just because I am holding out hope that they will add these in future updates. But my god, the villager dialogue is atrocious, even worse than New Leaf. There will be the occasional new, interesting dialogue, but the vast majority of dialogue is not only repetitive, but bland. An additional nitpick: I feel like a defining feature for lazies in the past was their, well, laziness and love for food. Their love for bugs in this game washes out all other character traits. It is kind of endearing, but what prompted Nintendo to decide they would suddenly begin talking to the bugs in their walls?

I feel like many people new to the series (Not all, the majority are lovely! The minority is just very vocal.) are toxic and elitist in play styles. Of course there have always been those people in the community, but this is ridiculous. You play your game how you want to play it, and I will play it how I would like to play. Time traveling isn't "disrespecting the game's developers." Get over yourself! In New Leaf villagers even playfully mentioned time traveling in their dialogue! I also find it funny that people who have played this game since the Gamecube version are being told to stop playing, or "this isn't the game for them" if they criticize any part of this game.

This will be an EXTREMELY unpopular opinion, but I miss dirt patches and grass deterioration. I felt like it added character to the town, and I enjoyed making dirt paths.
