The ACNH Rant Thread

Another minor annoying thing for me is K.K. taking up so much space in the plaza. I don't like having to maneuver around the chairs or having to awkwardly squeeze behind him to get into RS.

This. It's also kind of ridiculous when it's pouring down rain. Makes me wonder if he's going to move to the cafe that's rumored to be a thing someday. I think that's where he used to perform in the older games? (NL was my first)
 
my villagers keep implying (or in punchy's case, directly stating) that having a fountain outside is weird and i am begging them to stop. it's a fountain, where else do you expect it to be?? idk if maybe animal crossing is some kind of wacky alternate universe where you usually find a fountain inside the town hall or the general store, but in my world we put them outside!!
 
My first annoyance is that the game pauses your gameplay every time someone arrives. I got it, for the 3DS and before it was technically challenging but come on, the Switch is above and beyond any of the previous consoles.

Second, please please can we get a "Kick (user) button?" Ending the session when hosting a turnip price marathon can be super annoying for everyone. Let me easily kick whoever is being annoying in my world!

And last, I know this may be a bit much to ask technically speaking, but can we please be able to place and move furniture when someone's visiting? I play with a friend who is always asking me for help and I have to tell her what to do, go, come back later to see how it is and tell her how something could be better AND then leave again.

I've found the villager's conversations are weird. Super weird. Before I could easily think "Owww... Look at (Insert mildly annoying villager)... I barely like her/him but (insert whatever he/she said) is so cute"

Now I can only think "shut up shut up shut up shut up, teach me a reaction AND SHUT UP"

lol i actually really like all of my villagers and enjoy talking to them tbh but there are just a few specific things, like whenever lazies bring up bugs, and this whole thing where they act like fountains aren't supposed to be placed outside, that really get on my nerves when i hear them. maybe it'd be better if there was just a bit more dialogue variety!
 
I think I've said this before but I'm gonna say it again since I decided to work on my house again.

I don't appreciate the facts that all the rooms only come in one set size. Right from the start I was planning on putting my kitchen in the upper room, but now it looks like I have no choice but to put it in another room since theres literally no space. Its ridiculously small. I can barely put more than 4 pieces of furniture (I wanted to put things like a kitchen island, table with cloth, system kitchen, etc.) without running out of space. :confused:

Now I remember why I've been putting off decorating the interior of my house for so long. Hopefully we'll get an update soon that includes expanding/condensing room sizes.

Edit: It also sucks that only certain types of furniture can be customized and the only way to get a different color/design for a piece of furniture is to trade with other people.

My AC rant for today, seeing as I’m a bad AC player and have only just now started giving my villagers gifts so only just noticed it....

DON’T GIVE ME BELLS WHEN I GIVE YOU A PRESENT!

It makes my gift feel so shallow and worthless. I spent time thinking about what item you’d like, picking out wrapping paper and wrapping it with care. I was so excited to see your reaction. And then you gave me 853b for it! It’s a present! Not a trade or a sale!!
 
I walked up to Pompom yesterday and decided to talk to her.
Tapped A.
"Hm, I wonder what I'm going to do later today..."

That was it. I didn't get an option to help her decide or anything, just a waste of time. Villager dialogue and relationships are so dull and drab, I was really hoping it'd be a step up from New Leaf but no. Everyone is nice to you from the get-go and they all sound the same despite their personalities.
 
Not a rant against NH specifically, but AC in general.

I honestly hate this 'void' mechanic. I don't understand the point of it? Usually, the villager gets voided to someone you don't know so it's not like you're going to go back to visit them. And if the villager is leaving, it's usually someone you really don't care about.

The reason why I'm so triggered right now is because I spent a lot of time to finally manage to move this ugly gorilla out. However, he got voided to my friend's island. She then spent a lot of time voiding him out as well and GUESS WHAT. HE CAME BACK TO MY ISLAND BECAUSE SHE JUST VISITED ME. Now he's wearing this ugly dress I gave him as a joke AND he doesn't remember who I am.

This mechanic is making playing the game with friends more annoying than it should be because nobody wants to pick up the gorilla (or any unwanted villager) from the void.
 
Another minor annoying thing for me is K.K. taking up so much space in the plaza. I don't like having to maneuver around the chairs or having to awkwardly squeeze behind him to get into RS.

This has been annoying me since getting K.K. The squeezing behind him is definitely a pet peeve of mine, and the fact he sits there all day is just odd. They should have had him show up exactly at 6pm, or a little early, like 5pm. The last problem is while he sits there doing his own thing, it is really hard to hear him when playing docked and without headphones.
 
Tiny pet peeve but I wish my villagers would stop commenting on what I'm wearing. It's old and unnecessary.

DON’T GIVE ME BELLS WHEN I GIVE YOU A PRESENT!
I actually don't mind when they give me bells. Yeah it's odd, but when my villagers do gift me something back, it's almost always a clothing item that I really don't want instead of something nice like a piece of furniture or wallpaper/flooring. I end up having to go sell it anyway.
 
This. It's also kind of ridiculous when it's pouring down rain. Makes me wonder if he's going to move to the cafe that's rumored to be a thing someday. I think that's where he used to perform in the older games? (NL was my first)

So, what I like about K.K in NH is that his act is a straight callback from the GCN AC. He used to perform near the train station and the entire scene with the credits rolling around you while you watch K.K play is pretty much the same to the original AC. WW and CF made it so he would play at The Roost in the Museum (credits roll as well). NL was all about Club LOL (which I hated, lol (no pun intended). I wouldn't mind him playing occasionally in both the plaza and the (alleged) Café coming in soon. It'd be neat if, every Sat that rained, he'd move to play to the Café.
 
Not really the game but the community. I don't know how it happened, but I'm disgusted by the trading community. I thought this place would be different because I remember TBT striving for being cheat-free on the trading forum, but now I am seeing some of the most ridiculous topics.

50 NMT to visit Celeste, so and so is crafting such and such 30 NMT, my half-eaten tuna sandwich for 800 NMT. When did this become the norm/acceptable? There's no way people can get all those Miles, burn them on one trade, and still have enough to go around for themselves or another trade. They're being hacked somehow. They got to be.
 
I don't get the point of haunted paintings. Like it's cool to have some with animation, but why does Redd need haunted stuff? I feel like this would be a funny little event in the lead up to Halloween, some people already have way too many forgeries on their ship anyway.

DON’T GIVE ME BELLS WHEN I GIVE YOU A PRESENT!

This is so true as well. I gift you so that you have cute new stuff to wear, I don't want like 40% of my purchase back. (At the very least give me items back.)
 
Something else I noticed now that I'm doing orders for people - you only get mail once a day. Am I wrong? In NL you got it twice, once in the morning and once in the evening.

Is there some kinda upgrade I need to get? It's such a pain because this extends waiting time for customers so much and I could've sold more in less days - the latest order is for Wednesday, next week. If you got mail twice a day it'd probably be for this Friday.
 
It's just once per day. I kind of miss not being able to write letters to villager/islanders. Hopefully there's an update that brings back Pelly/Phyllis that gives us mail twice a day, we can send letters to the animals, and store the letters into a larger storage.
