The ACNH Rant Thread

[Alolan_Apples]

Similar to the What’s Bothering You Thread, this is a thread to discuss your frustrations with the new game if you have any. Since there was a lot of complaint threads on the ACNL board, I decided to come up with a thread where you can share all of your frustrations or other problems (like someone else ruined your island). ACNH may not have the same problems ACNL did since Nintendo listened to us, but that doesn’t mean ACNH is free of any flaws. For a reminder:

• Stay on topic and do not complain about anything that isn’t ACNH-related.
• Do not publicly blacklist other members or members from other websites. You may complain about other people being problematic, but do not call out their names or specify what site they’re from.
• Remember to be respectful to others when they state their frustrations.
• You are allowed to give or ask for help or guidance on how to get past a point of frustration, but do not use this thread as a Wi-Fi or trading thread.

You don’t have to use this thread if you don't want to, but be sure to follow the rules if you use this thread.

I wish that we would have the hourly music already instead of waiting until a certain point in game play.

I'm kinda bummed that your starting villagers can only be a Jock and an Uchi. Kind of a strange combo imo. Why couldn't it be any of the other personalities?

The fish shadow look a lil strange and glitchy...

Noticed that too, they’re kind of pixelated.

I am stuck in the lower part of the island due to both rivers going south. lol talk about jail

1. No new\bigger upgrades for the interior of the house since wild world. I was hoping for more rooms or something like terraforming but for inside.
2. Map is still smaller than the n64 map. With 8 players available to move in they should give them all more room to build.
3. Not so much buildings. There could be more a variety of buildings to choose to build like hair salon, kicks store, cafe, lief store etc. while having the option to not put some of you don't want it

i feel the same way - i gave up on resetting for villagers just because i like hardly any of the villagers from these personalities

For me I found it was helpful to use Nook Miles to travel to another island! (Instead of just waiting for them to respawn on your own island) That way you can bash up all the rocks there, visit another island and repeat. That's how I managed to get 30 irons in one day.

 

[kirbbys]

You get iron from rocks right ? i smashed all of mine because I had cherry energy *facepalm*. I need NUGGETS!

 

[pocky]

my only complaint is with donations

Spoiler

Once you donate a certain amount to Nook, he will no longer accept donations as you have to wait for Blathers to finish setting up. I picked a spot for the museum, and since I started the game at 3AM at 5AM it became a "new" day and Blathers was already set up. So I excitedly went and donated the stuff I had for him. But once I donated 15 items he stopped taking donations as he is now in the process of updating his tent. This means that I cant donate any of the new fish or bugs I find today. Right now I just have a stack of fish and bugs outside the museum that I will hopefully donate once Blathers accepts donations again...

and while I'm on this topic... I hate that I couldn't place the museum where I wanted to because there were parts of the island I couldnt access when I was first given the chance to build the museum. I know that I can move it later, but I would have preferred to place it where I wanted to from the very beginning.

That's what I'm doing, but the 2k miles a ticket is a bit annoying when it keeps giving me sturgeon missions. Lol.

Spoiler: Something about game features

It bums me out that a couple of features in ACNL (including some mainstays for most of the series) are not present in the game. But hope is not lost. They may re-appear in upcoming DLC. I would rather pay for a feature to be present again rather than have it be absent

 

[tanisha23]

The balloon present's shadows don't seem to line up with the actual balloon presents.

 

[Romaki]

There's, like, way too many balloons. I'm sick and tired of hunting them down every ten minutes!

 

[Miss Misty]

Bit of a minor nitpick, but the sheer amount of trash is disheartening. I know they needed to make the junk items slightly more accessible since they are involved in crafting recipes (and I have been enjoying making succulents out of the cans I pull up.) But holy moly it seems like every third "fish" I reel in is actually a piece of trash.

Also a minor rant at myself: Me, you lucked out that there was a Nook Miles initiative for dropping a balloon present into the water and losing it. We got that squared away now, though, so I don't want to see me doing that again. Am I clear?

 

[Whisper]

Not a fan of how I can't put the flowers or trees that I dug up in storage.

At least they're more than just balloon furniture this time. I've gotten some cool stuff and I'm relieved.

Why can't I buy customization kits in packs of larger than 5? This neat shell bed I found a recipe for wants 7 of them. Seriously, at the minimum they should come in bulks of 10.

 

[muromame]

I'm annoyed at how bad villager dialogue is now. I hope it'll improve by a lot as time goes on.

Also I don't like that they took all the exotic fruit out of the game except coconuts. Why are there no bananas, lychees, durian, lemons etc anymore?
