The ACNH Rant Thread

How many rattan waste bins are IN these trees?

Also: why are all the wasps on these islands in trees where it's hard to get away enough to grab net and face down :( they've gotten smart. Boutta spend my whole island-hopping session all swollen.

Yes, i 've seen quite a few videos of people casually selecting the net from their tool wheel and catching a wasp.
then when I try to do the exact same thing I get stung straight away.

It's not usually too hard, except a) I have the joycon drift from heck so I keep getting my fishing rod instead, and b) the wasps are invariably on trees in corners or at the top of a ledge where there's no "up" to run away to.

There's an easy way to solve your wasp problem! Just hold your net while shaking trees, make sure you're directly in front of the tree, and then press A as soon as you're able to or just repeatedly press A so you have the quickest chance to catch the wasp.
 
Now that I've put 200 hours in the game lol, my biggest problem is how inefficient the Able's Sisters shop is..
If I want to buy matching tuxedos for all my villagers I'd rather not have to go in and out of the fitting room and then the thing where it gets sent to the home storage is annoying too!
 
I strongly DISLIKE the murky ugly river and how the rivers water looks in general ESPECIALLY compared to new leaf!!!! The water in new leaf looks more for an island that's for sure.. it also has more moving graphics and a better water pattern on the top .. I LOVE IT IN NL and i was SHOCKED to see how much better the rivers look in nl.. I'm so sad.. that on top of the sanrio characters the houses the bushes and my dreamies makes me want to go back to nl LEGIT... nl is so much cuter rn
. But the rivers though seriously so much better in nl

I have the same problem, but with different ones. Like I swear I've gotten the Cutting Board DIY like 4 times. I believe I even have an extra right now that I'm yet to give away if you'd like it. (I just checked, and yes, I do have one)

Aw, that would be nice if you really don't mind! I will PM you! :)
 
With having to put so much decoration out to up the island rating, it's disappointing that villagers don't use a lot of it. I want to see them using the pool! Riding the teacups! etc

The island feels kinda dead with villagers just milling about the plaza lifitng weights or peering at flowers (which is cute, dont get me wrong, I'd just like to see more interactables).

Catching a wasp couldn't be any easier, as it's 1 button away from being auto piloted.

When a wasp nest falls, a cutscene forces your character to face the wasp, and the wasp will circle the nest for a couple seconds. During this time, all you have to do it press A and your character has a 100% chance of catching them.

So
1. hold a net when shaking trees.
2. Press A repeatedly as soon as you see the nest (Or just once as soon as the cutscene ends)

I've heard people are paying big money for cutting board DIY recipe. If true, you should be able to make bank off of such fortune.
 
The ACNH devs are cowards for putting in the tree limit for 5-star island ratings.

YES I DO NEED ALL 300 OF THESE TREES. I TECHNICALLY NEED MORE. I ALSO NEED LILIES OF THE VALLEY.
Literally my thought when Isabelle told me a moment ago that I finally reached the 5-star rating after cutting down a bunch of trees which I actually wanted to keep. Now some certain spots on my island looking so naked because of this. Besides, "villagers missing their favorite TV show as they can't find their ways home because of too many trees" apparently is not a valid reason to force me cutting down trees and ruin my idea of how I want the island to look like, dear Isabelle. Like, how about using the damn path I made which is connected to each villagers house and not blocked by any trees at all so that you find your homes easy and watch your stupid TV show, you silly idiots...

First off, F for your trees.

What I ended up doing is tting/waiting until 4 Lilies of the Valley spawned, and then put all my trees back.

It's my island, I make the rules. You will deal with the trees and you will LIKE it.

Can you share tours of your town? I find trees and flowers crowd the town, and leave no room for creative design.
 
Not so much the game, but I absolutely loathe the way the community is handling villager trades... I'm not trying to call anyone out, but 1500 NMT as a buyout on an auction for a character? I won't even visit the villager section anymore, that's just horrible.

Villager section is ruined IMO. Can't even afford my tier 3 dreamies, asking price is always 10+ NMT and I dont hoard them

Unfortunately everyone is trying to get Raymond, so they are hoarding tickets, and draining them from other players. Those who are not looking for Raymond are victim to those who are, and have no choice but to charge for NMTs for other things just to be able to pay all the NMT asking fees.

I'm not interacting at all with anyone asking for NMT, in fact I've never paid anyone with one to date. We have a currency, not sure why we need another, especially one that's been duped to oblivion and hoarded en masse. The community decides what currency is, not the sellers. I choose not to do business with them, that's what people will need to do if they dont want to see NMT become the new standard trading currency.

One of my problems with NH is bass....it's pretty much all I ever catch.Black bass,sea bass,Fender bass.Bass in the morning,bass in the evening,bass in the summertime(no,I did not TT to the summer months so shut yer pie holes).I'm up to my,uh......grass in bass.Geez,the black bass isn't even a tropical fish.What the heck is it doing in an island river?Yo,Nintendo....get on the stick and have some class...get rid of all that bass!
 
I wish I could buy multiple of socks, leggings, shirts, etc from Able Sisters' in one go! When I'm trying to collect all the colorways of something, it takes forever to go in and out of the fitting room, lol

May gonna do the same honestly, for now my island doesn't look that bad, although I would like to put some more trees here and there.

I may share tours if I have some more time to do something like this. I'm actually not a person who likes to have tons of flowers around my town/island, right now I have so many windflowers that I don't know what to do with all of them. But if I remove too many, Isabelle will complain yet again that my island needs more flowers, so I just let them stay for now. Although I have lots of trees (even after cutting a bunch down), I still have enough room to design, guess it's because the way I design is more simple than others who do large areas with a certain theme and such.
 
I agree with a lot of what has been said in this thread. There are some improvements Nintendo could make to the crafting system to make it less tedious. I get why terraforming is tedious, it gives you granular control over how the entire island looks. But crafting items and not being able to craft from stored materials or craft multiples just sucks. These are problems that could be addressed with just a few simple quality of life improvements if Nintendo cares to implement them.
