The ACNH Rant Thread

[Saaga]

Things that annoy me:
-I can’t get bigger storage without upgrading the house. I liked it as a small cottage.
-Buying from Ables is more tedious than it should be. I don’t know what it is called but when you sell multiple items to Nooklins you can circle them. Why can’t we have something similiar be applied to Ables? Buying one at a time is not fun and wastes time.
-The game being very buggy from the start. Though Nintendo has come trough with fix updates, there is still problems when you want to adopt an villager.
-Online interactions is non-existent, save for visiting and trading. I wish we had some kind of ”room”or building in the island where we could play games with visitors. Like we did in our own island in New Leaf. Something similiar to that would be nice to have in New Horizons, but I’m not holding my breath.
-Having less items to decorate than before is starting to become more visible as villagers have
a lot similiar styled houses which makes them seem less individual. Speaking of less individuality, your first five villagers are stuck with the DIY houses, rather than their original houses. Had I known this, I would have chosen five ugly villagers instead having Draco, Sprinkle, Merengue, Plucky and Dom with their wooden-block houses.
-that I can’t have a 3 or 5-star island if they don’t fit Isabelle’s requirements. Technically I could have the island I want, but I can’t unlock KK’s visit or terraforming if I don’t do as Isabelle (Or Nintendo in form of Isabelle) tells me to.

the repetitive dialogue is really getting to me. my favorite part of the old games was just...talking to the villagers. now 90% of the time it's some variation of "what a lovely day it is!" or "you sure were doing a lot of [activity] yesterday". i also miss how cranky and snooty villagers were actually unfriendly at first, but warmed up to you as you became friends. now they're nice from day one. it just feels like a lot of personality got taken out of the game.

We need a feature to find villagers and characters like Flick. Like, call them up on the NookPhone and see where they're at. Like the megaphone in NL, but not reliant on a truly terrible voice recognition feature, and that works when they're indoors.

I cannot believe they added a phone and skipped this.

Looking with fresh eyes at the game, having reset my town and taken a step back for bit, I feel a lot more ... accepting of it.

I think it’s important to remember that whether we like it or not, this game is not like other AC titles and isn’t being treating as such by Nintendo.

Love or hate the DLCs, it’s clear this is how Nintendo wanted to release its game. I’m guessing now that many of the features we’re currently lacking will be brought back in time, through DLCs.

This also means that many of the issues we’re having in game maybe fixed as the game is updated (bulk crafting, storing turnips etc).

It almost feels like Nintendo are treating NH more like a MORP, where the game gets more regular updates that not only fix and improve current content but where it also adds in new stuff.

I don’t agree with it or like it. I stand by my statement that New Leaf is a better title, with more content and interesting events. Right now. But give it a year or so and once Nintendo have finished adding and messing with stuff, NH may actually be the best AC title we’ve had.

I don’t like it, but it might be one of those instances were it’ll age like fine wine.

Right. I decided to check up on my dreamies from NL since I don't have them in NH. And even with the dialogue in NL, you can skip it so much faster then in NH.

For me:
- At first when I some of the New furniture, I was really excited. Looks better then NH. But I am pretty sure it's not just me. Seems like their is less furniture. Every bodies island and rooms looking very similar because there is only so many nice things to pick from. Haha.
- Maybe a little to much dialogue.
- HATE that I can't catch bugs from tress on the island anymore. That was such a good way to make money. Making money is so much harder.
- Also hate you can't go to an island with people and play to make money. My friend and I used to do that all the time.
- I wish villagers would still come inside my house to be honest. I assume they don't because they haven't come even once.
- I wish there was more in game game. You can't play on the systems with mini games like you could in NL. I wish villagers played games with you more often to. I have heard of one gave they play with you and they still have no asked me to play.

Lemme just say I enjoy the majority of this game. It really makes the hours go by. That said:

Why can't we build fences diagonally? I wanted to build a stone fence on the southern most part of my lower cliffs but to do so I'd have to either majorly rework my river or destroy a lot of my cliffs.

That said, why can't we make paths diagonally either? I wanted to build at least one bridge diagonally but I guess I won't.

The latest update announcement has me more optimistic about the longevity and future content of this game, having already more or less stopped playing it, but oh yuck there's so many planned Pocket Camp-style events. No thank you.

 

[Clock]

Some things that should be implemented in NH:
-Diving
-Hide and Seek
-Having villagers visit inside your homes as a request or random
-Villagers giving fruit as a reward
-Easier buying at Able sisters instead of going back and forth
-Having the mail schedule (9AM and 5PM) from previous games so you don't have to wait for the next day for a delivery order.

Its a nice game so far, I hope there will be more updates.

Edit :
(A trade system so you don't have to visit other islands or being scammed)
(Wooden paths on beaches, It wouldn't let me so I made my own)

I feel this.

Yesterday all my villagers complimented my outfit. They also all gave me accessories off the back of the compliment or pinged me to give me more clothes. Billy gave me two hats within the space of three hours.
They all told me what I did yesterday and mentioned my friends yesterday.

I notice as well overall villagers are less likely to stop and initiate conversation. I am good friends with many of the, so it seems a little strange.

 

[HungryForCereal]

its so sad they you cant invite villagers into your house or they invite you to theirs like back in NL.

My rant for today.

I really wish the topic of time-travelling would get put into one, moderated thread. Pretty tired of seeing the same thread, with pretty much the same comments, being reposted. Surely, one thread would be enough for people to debate the concept of time-travelling?

On that note, I'm pretty tired of seeing 'debate' about it, as well. It's been done to death. And there's always mean comments from both sides of the argument... even if non-tters want to believe that pro-tters are more nasty about it and vice versa. How other people play the game has zero effect on you, besides potential spoilers, I guess.

I'll happily rant about that with you. Just make a stickied debate topic for hot topics.

 

[RomanRichter]

Can't I rant in advance?
My body is ready to hear nothing but dialogs about event in next 2 weeks! Horray! Another 3 repeated lines instead of something new!

 

[Mikaiah]

stale villager dialogue. I need to get rid of 2 villagers because I have 4 normals... just having a bigger pool would make it less repetitive than "I should give my parents a call!" and the same lines I've been reading over... and over... and over again...

how LONG the friggin cutscene is to travel to a friend's town! and you have to watch it once for every single person that loads in! I get that they want to avoid save glitches, but sheesh.

 

[Clock]

I wish it wasn't only treasure hunt as the only villager minigame atm, I want hide and seek back and a bunch of minigames with the villagers in acnh.

 

[Romaki]

I'm kinda annoyed that campers don't actually become part of your island for the day that they're there.

 

[EquinoxIsland]

My friend came to my island to talk to Roald, who was in boxes, because we were trading Dobie and Roald. He already gave me Dobie, but as he was leaving my island we got a communication error, and when my island refreshed, Roald's house was there but he wasn't and there was a note on the door saying "I've moved out. -Roald" and my friend's plot is still unclaimed. We think he was voided. Rip Roald. Wish there was a different way of transferring villagers, such that he didn't leave my island until he was definitely on my friend's or something.

I'm just sad about no more perfect fruit tbh if it is in the game I haven't seen a single one yet

omg all yes.

Mine:
- WHY did I spend all my Nook Miles for custom paths for them not to be permanent.
- WHY can we not get a roller or something for paths.
- we should be able to adjust the radius on the clean up, you can barely get two trees in and even then you have to angle it a certain way.
- Why can't we jump islands in multiplayer
- is it too hard to add storage or a adp in the port for multiplayer use???
- WHY IS THAT "I'VE MOVED OUT" GLITCH NOT FIXED YET
- I wish fences were apart of the construction app bc I hate picking them up constantly.
