The ACNH Rant Thread

One small thing that irks me is designs. Specifically the way the design now adds curves to make it look "smooth" when it just looks clunky. And Tom Nook forbid you try to make a plaid design or pixel art.

I feel that! I have found that small plaid works, but big plaid just turns into circles. It is slightly frustrating when you would like big, chunky plaid.
 
Here's a rant for you; I wish people would stop ranting about this game. I don't mean the small annoyances, I mean ranting about the whole experience. Some are so focused on what they see as negative that they become completely blind to the abundance of positives.

People are allowed to critique a game they paid for. There’s nothing wrong with people being disappointed that the quality of NH isn’t up to par.
 
With path making tool, we still can make dirt paths. It's just more fined tuned now.

Oh the humanity 🤣
The dirt paths you can lay look unnatural and smooth though. I'm glad it doesn't bother you too much, but I do miss the gritty dirt textures in the previous games.
 
Who in the front office thought it was a good idea to bring Cashmere back? More of a WA thing, but still, we could have had Megumi.

Also, you shouldn’t be allowed to get duplicates in NMT islands unless you have run through the entire roster.
 
Olivia was camping on my island and I convinced her to move in until she said she couldn't because all of the plots were filled up. I went to go look at the last plot that's going to be filled and it says Judy is moving in. Judy is unwanted 🙃 even more so now that she's preventing Olivia from moving in
 
Anybody feel like we might've had too high expectations? After waiting 7 years plus a delay I had perhaps foolishly convinced myself this game was gonna be Animal Crossing Ultimate. As of now I'm feeling pretty disappointed and if a lot of the missing things from past games aren't added in updates I'm gonna feel like I got ripped off :LOL:
 
on your point about isabelle, she does mention meteor showers though?? if i open the game during the morning she always tells me the weather report says we're in for a rare treat of shooting stars, and if i open it at night she always tells me the sky above my island is full of shooting stars. i agree with you on literally everything else in this post though, and it's especially strange to me how isabelle doesn't mention gulliver since she does in new leaf!

interesting, I have yet to see her mention it in that way yet, if anything, a mention of a weather report on the bulletin board would help so much, I’m so used to checking it for my info from nl...

I don’t think Isabelle ever mentioned npcs that were visiting now that I think about it, in nl, she’d mention shops opening, tortimer visiting to unlock the island, villager birthdays and holidays when you opened the game.

I recall that If you had the police station, booker (or copper) depending on who you had, if you talked to them, he would mention if you had travelers in your town or not (ex copper mentioning a storm brewing off the coast was gulliver)

Well, I know its a bit of a nitpick, but when your tired and don’t want to travel all the way over to town hall, in my case, it’s almost 3 acres over and I have to climb down cliffs, it’s a great convenience.

This is bad because if you are selling turnips in another town with a high number and just happen to overfill those 40 slots with 99k bell-bags (41 coming from your wallet) you’re out of luck, unless it’s a friend that you trust won’t pocket it, and you can’t put the funds in the ABD in said town making you go all the way back to deposit it (rinse repeat if you have over 40 stacks of 100+ Pockets full of turnips to sell.

also to add on to my gripes, nook shopping limit of 5 items per person and taking until next day to deliver my items.

What happened to the 10 limit of ordering and the items coming at 9am and 5pm? Unless the post system comes back with the 3 pelicans (Pelly, Phyllis and Pete) and not with Orville (nothing against him), this is possibly the reason why they don’t do it, because it was a joint effort with them (it may not happen, unless he decides to upgrade from a post rack)

not my screenshot but here's one of her mentioning the shooting stars!

i wonder if maybe she doesn't always mention it for some reason, like maybe if she has another announcement to make?? having it on the bulletin board would help for sure, especially if that's the case.
i'm sure she mentions gulliver in new leaf though! i don't have a screenshot but i still play it and the other day she told me someone strange was washed up on the beach and he was there, that's why i find it odd that she doesn't do the same in NH. i wish there was some indicator of these things either through the billboard or isabelle, or both if it's possible that isabelle might not always announce them for some reason (like the meteor showers).
 
Mild rant, but why the hell do refined gold itmes (items that take only gold nuggets to make) sell for the same as the gold nuggets themselves? For example. the gold plates (1 gold nugget) sell for 10k bells apiece, and a stack of gold bars (3 gold nuggets) sells for 30k. Every other item I can think of that you can make goes for more than the constituent parts used to make it as far as I know, so why does gold furniture go for so little?
 
is it just me or, is the storage WAYYYY smaller than new leaf’s? it’s so annoying because i has all this space in NL and in NH it feels like i barely have any...

I hate that so much was removed from the old games, like why??? They didn’t have to add onto the features, just leave them be. Almost everything from the old games were removed, and there’s not enough new to make up for it. It just makes me really upset.
honestly, i’m just happy enough brewster and leif are coming soon. i’m really hoping for more shops, things to do, more of the og characters, etc.

Storage grows with each house expansion. Once you have the basement, as I do, you have 1600 storage spaces total (I am so not kidding)

It's good and dandy, but they also should return classic storages insted of making everything a dresser (Still laughing about possibility to change clothes in your fridge)
 
Why don't we have a dedicated trading window/screen like MMORPGs such as EverQuest. Where you drag and drop the item or bells you want to trade on the person's character you're trading with. A screen comes up and you place the item and/or bells on your half of the screen and the person you're trading with does the same on their part of the screen. Both parties have to press "Ready" to accept the trade. We still have to trade items by dropping them on the ground. This is why people are still getting scammed. EverQuest came out in 1997. This came out in 2020. Why Nintendo? Why?
 
Happy Home Designer had better Crankies than this game. Go take a look at their dialogue from there - it was way better. Guess they decided to go back to the NL dialogue lol.
 
Things I wish were in the game:

1. Kicks having a shop or requesting to build a shop after you purchase so much from him. It could be an extension to the Able sisters to save space, like Shampoodle was in NL.

2. No Brewster/cafe. I know we've had some leaks about this coming in a future update, but I really miss the guy and the cafe! It'd be nice for it to be in the museum again like it was in WW.

3. No art in the museum and no Crazy Redd. This also irritates me a bit. I feel like the museum is missing out by not having this.

4. Crafting items in your house using what is in your storage. For the sake of convenience more than anything else. It just feels like this should have been included.

5. Crafting multiples of the same item in one go. Seriously, one fish bait at a time is driving me nuts!

6. Leif. I loved the fact we had a little gardening shop/corner in NL! I know he's been mentioned as an event thing, but I'm disappointed he doesn't have a permanent role in the town.

7. More upgrades to Nooklings. It feels so small in comparison to the other games.

8. Swimming/diving. I've noticed there are fully rendered 3D rocks in the water. Why go through that effort and NOT let people go swimming out there?

9. Bushes. Okay, these were GREAT in NL. Why can't we bring them back?

Don't get me wrong; I absolutely love the crafting and DIY system in NH and the town decorating is great! I just wish that they'd add a few more bits and pieces.
