The ACNH Rant Thread

[-Blue-]

My best guess is that they weren't finished with the game but released it anyway. I'd rather have waited for a completed game than...whatever we got.

That's what I'm thinking. They had to postpone the game from last year to March of this year. So I'm wondering if they were afraid of pushing the delay further. I would had waited patiently to be honest.

'A delayed game can be good. A rushed game will be bad forever.' I'm not saying NH is bad, but if it came with all the content that is slowly being drip-fed and available on the other games from day 1, we wouldn't be having so many negative topics. Like seriously, I don't remember any of the other games having so many topics discussing the flaws. The number of times these threads arise is crazy.

I don't even really touch NH that much anymore. I really want to like it, I do, but it's just so unfinished and unpolished. We shouldn't have to wait a year for the basic game stuff to come around. Even half a year is pushing it.

nothing's more annoying than trying to get a specific villager to move out and basically everyone but that villager has a thought bubble

edit from nearly half an hour later: finally got a prompt from the one i wanted! time traveled all the way to september doing it

This game seems hellbent on not letting me grow any purple windflowers. I've looked at every guide and tried every step imaginable to get them but it's almost like they don't exist in my game files. They're the last thing I need to a complete a purple themed part of my island and it's getting beyond frustrating.

After 5 scallops with no Pascal, I have locked my switch away for the day. Who wants to dive for well over an hour to find zero pearls and have Pascal not show up?!? Diving makes me so annoyed - ugh

Yup, and add purple tulips to that task for me as well. Impossible.

ETA: The NH gods must've been listening, as I checked my game this afternoon and FINALLY GOT PURPLE TULIP BUDS!!!

Still no purple windflowers OR forgot--pansies yet though.

This is a dumb complaint but i wish they’d drop more info about the august update since august is less than two weeks away. Additionally, the first day of august is a sunday so i wonder if they’ll drop the update on july 31st so well get the fireworks show the first day of august (if they even add in the fireworks, i assumed they would because of the july trailer).

The diving trailer didn't come out until June 25th. So wait until around that time and they'll probably have something.

I haven't touched my game in two weeks. I haven't even thought about it much either. That makes me a bit sad to think about.

I have 8 scallops and no Pascal. I'm beginning to think my game is broken lol

As soon as you have 3 of each, they breed like crazy though! That's my rant: Some of the flowers are spawning new buds every day/every other day, while I've been watering my pink roses daily (and *only* the pink roses) and they. just. won't. breed.

I must admit I "cheated" on some of the more difficult to breed hybrids, and gladly accepted gifts of friends/traded for them because they were so hard to get. I admire the patience of people that do breed them all by themselves!

 

[FRANS_PLAYER]

I wish Pascal would show up earlier for scallops. Once I collected NINE and he didn't show up so I had to go without him for the day. I think the NH gods saw how I suffered, though, because after I got 3 DIYS in a row!

Are you guys diving with your gates open? That will prevent Pascal from appearing. I once caught 4 scallops, gave up in frustration, only to realize I forgot to close my gates after trading an hour earlier

Flowers in this game are crazy. I wish they would have to where the flower plant and the flowers itself are the same item like earlier games. So we could store flowers and pick them easily.

And rain watering flowers seemed good in theory before the reality of: using shovels that can break + constantly breeding flowers + being unable to store flowers set in. Now it takes 8+ shovels and a trash can to clear a field of useless flowers.

Also breakable tools retract from the game post tutorial. Why can’t we have perfect gold tools? It’s not even worth it to craft a golden shovels or even a regular one if you want to save resources.

But the biggest complaint I recently have is: why can’t Isabelle reset gifts/the house interior? It would make perfect sense to clear out the gifted items and place inside the recycling bin. Bugs and fish can be deposed of and there can be a friendship reduction for every gift. Why do gifts have to be permanent?

Is it just me or has anyone else been having trouble getting furniture they want?
Nooklings has a limited stock and I have no idea when Nintendo will add an upgrade to them...plus all my diys are outdoor themed and umbrellas, wallpapers, etc. Not exact any nice furniture I want. I am begging for an upgrade to nooklings.

Saharah needs to show up less and Redd needs to show up more. Also, enough with the cardboard boxes in the Lost and Found already.

I actually use those as temporary surfaces to put my stuff on in my house, since I'm still yet to find any counters for my kitchen or dressers or shelves or stuff like that.

 

[Shinjukuwu]

I haven't had a campsite villager in about 10 days. It used to be more regular than this!
Edit: has actually been 15 days!

It's kind of annoying that a lot of Nookling's items for sell are such bell sinks. I miss the old way the shops were set up. It felt like a real store. This does not.

Yes. I see them all the time. I can't remember the last time I saw Celeste, CJ, Flick, Redd, Labelle, or Leif, but I see Saharah every week. I actually saw CJ a few days ago, but it's so spread out. And Labelle might as well have been cut from the roster since I haven't seen her for 3 months or something.

Here's mine for today...
The people who claim that they're fine with how long it takes Redd to show up are probably people who have him showing up quite often. I haven't seen him in two weeks or so :/
