The ACNH Rant Thread

1. saharah is here... every week. it makes her stuff feel less special and i feel like i never see other roaming visitors because of it? i don't know if she was meant to be so common or if it's an error in coding but it's mildly irritating that i never get gulliver haha!

2. isabelle you don't need to apologize for talking about your tv shows on the morning announcements. do what you want girl!!!!! just make more than one announcement please
 
Get rid of Isabelle's announcements. They're just dialogue I got to button mash to get through. She doesn't announce anything worthwhile. I've had all the visitors on the Residential Services area, the roamers (CJ, Flick, Saharah, ect) and now Redd (again after his first visit) Guess which she announced?

None of them. They need to make a patch where she starts talking about the visitors and stuff going on. The missing sock, favorite show, and facetime with parents was kind of cool the first time, but now that it's on repeat I don't care. You can like Isabelle, but don't make the case that her announcements are necessary when they just eat up time before we can play.

I'm just lucky I mindlessly wandered to where Redd was to realize he was here.

I agree that she should announce at least roaming villagers like CJ, Flick, and Saharah. But, she does tell you when you have a camper in your campsite.

She announces meteor showers too, at least for me--I've heard some people say she doesn't for them and I have no clue why that is. But yeah I don't get why she doesn't announce visitors :( I kinda also wish she did full weather reports like saying it's gonna be rainy later, clear all day, there's a thunderstorm right now, etc.
 
I wouldn't know if she announces those or not since I have yet to see one. It's not like I know when and where to look. How long do they last? Is it like 1 random hour in the night?

Isabelle is supposed to tell you that either the sky is in for a rare treat of shooting stars or that the sky is currently full of shooting stars depending on the time of day, and always does without fail for me, but some people say she doesn't and I have no clue why... They happen on random nights and are usually (apparently not always for some reason) accompanied by Celeste roaming around. And they last from 7 PM to 4 AM I believe. You'll know you have one because you can hear little twinkling sounds when shooting stars pass by, and you can look up at the sky and press A (if you make sure you're not holding a tool!) to wish on them. I hope that answers all your questions!

Oh yeah! She does! It has been so long since I had one that I forgot! 😅

Oof I've had Celeste 4 times or more and have yet to see or hear shooting stars. I just got bad luck.

I was shocked when she announced campsite visitors! At least her announcements are not completely useless but i agree that she should announce other visitors since there is no police station yet.
 
The game just feels so... glitchy. I’m scared that if I have a hostile person on my island I won’t be able to do anything about it because I can’t kick them out with - . All of these bugs, like the amiibo glitch and the item dupe (that one might not count, it has been in other games). I feel like the game can be unpredictable and scary because I don’t know what I might do to ruin all of my hard work.
 
I like the change that PWPs are just furniture now, but so many cool PWPs from NL aren't in NH :( I miss cute stuff like the illuminated heart/arch, wisteria trellis, cut-out standee...and it sucks that there aren't fairy tale options for bridges anymore! Maybe they'll add them eventually but that's still a 'maybe' so I don't feel like I can plan for eventually getting them like I could in NL.
 
Yeah the cut-out stand needs to come back and probably will. I have some QR designs from NL just for those stands and it'd be nice to be able to bring them to my NH island.
 
i am FURIOUS i just wasted almost 50 nook miles tickets looking for diana, beau, marshal, and bob and you know what i found instead? ugly villagers. every single island. and duplicates. i didn't even run into their species like?? what is this rng... the only decent villager i ran into was sherb 😔 i regret passing him up now

the thing that irritated me the most were the duplicates. i run into an unwanted villager once, fine. but a second and third time?????? i swear at least half of the villagers i ran into were duplicates. there are 397 different villagers... literally what are the odds

I know you're just venting but you might be interested in knowing that the odds sure aren't 1/397! The game rolls for a species first, giving each one an equal chance of 1/35 and then picks a villager of that species, so if you want Marina, Zucker, or Octavian you've got a great shot at getting them. If the game keeps rolling for cows you're probably gonna keep seeing the same cow a lot. if you're lucky enough to pass the 1/35 roll for a cat and then it's Raymond the one you wanted you're really lucky because you had to pass another roughly 1/22 roll to get there. That's why dupes keep happening, because the game only rolls for species, some of which have very small pools to choose from, rather than picking a completely random villager out of the whole roster. I'm terrible at math and explaining but there's a really good thread about it here.

I agree it's super frustrating though, idk why they went with a system that gives you such impossible odds when it comes to species with a lot of villagers like cats/dogs/rabbits while you're forced to see Zucker and Tipper 300 times :( Maybe they thought giving each species an equal chance of appearing would make things more diverse, but I would much rather see 10 different cats in a row than the same cow twice, the same alligator twice, the same octopus 3 times, two different ostriches, and one cat, for example.
