[@sanshuri]

One thing I don't understand is "TT finishes the game faster" when does the game end to you?? For most people it isn't the credit sequence, that's when the game really starts and everything is finally open to you. Is it when you deck out your home? Get 5 stars? Get best friend status with your entire island? My point is that just like time travelling allows you to experience the game at your own pace, you control the end goal. If you stopped playing because you couldn't find anything to do, it isn't because time travelling shortened the lifespan of your game, but because you didn't know where your endgoal was. This game is incredibly open ended, so you can really pick and choose where to end, it's all about setting goals and the satisfaction of completing them, if you complete every goal you had why are you unsatisfied? Did you not set enough goals for yourself?

[@sanshuri]

Also, people who think time travelling ruins an accomplishment or something... Not playing for 6 hours isn't an accomplishment. Waiting for a building to be crafted isn't an accomplishment... But most importantly, I still have to craft the items, talk to my villagers, and terraform my land bit by bit just like everyone else? What did you do that I didn't?

I mean, its not like you can't do anything else in the game until the bridge is finished. The game tries to slow it down and get you to experience all of the things it has to offer. While the bridge is being built, you can go fishing, visit other islands, decorate your own island, catch bugs, tend flowers, etc. The point is to make you do other things.

[@dripkageszn4638]

I just tried it for the first time today it’s not to bad I only did a day ahead though

[@minteabee]

I think the reason people keep getting mad at time travellers is because they compare their island with other islands too much. If you time travel you get things faster, which results into you being ahead and have more stuff than they do, getting the better villagers faster ect. Animal Crossing is such a unique game when it comes to pase. It's what's so beautiful about the game imo. It teaches people to slow down, to appreciate the little things and be in the moment. Heck in the older games it even used to be Resetti's job to tell you not to reset because you had to accept whatever you did that day. But we're so used to living in a world that is so fast, with such high expectations, everything has to be bigger and better all the time. It's understandable people start to compare more. It's really a shame tho. Everyone should just enjoy the game for themselves and not worry so much about other people. Wether you time travel or not.

[@hazikidskids3426]

To get a villager off your island for sure, you need to ignore them for 3 days while being super chatty to ALL your other villagers. You can’t ignore more than one villager at a time otherwise it won’t work. After the 3 days you should try and find them and then they will ask you if they should leave.

@@tomshiba8073 There's a difference between the two. There's definitely a point where one's time travel usage would justify saying that, but "I work at the time whe things happen, I'll change my clock so everything isn't closed" isn't past that point. "You time travel in X fashion, so duping should be ok," where X is something that is equally exploitive, is a somewhat valid statement, but "You time travel for any reason at all, why not just duplicate stuff," is not. Also, time travel is a "thing" in Animal Crossing that's been there from the beginning, whereas duping is a glitch that the devs did not intend or account for when making the game.

Pro time travel tip if you don't want to travel in one day increments; time travel to 4:58 AM of the same day you are in, get the morning announcements, and boom, everything on the island is reset, and this does count for flower growth, I have tested it extensively. The game registers this as a new day, so you will get new fossil spawns, weed, rock and tree branch spawns and message in a bottle spawns. Also, if you have any special characters such as gulliver, celeste or Redd, this keeps the character in loop on your island and your are able to acquire new items each time. Hope this helps!

Rn, North has spring (including sakura) and summer while the South has autumn and winter. Unless we demand everyone to spoiler tag everything, the seasonal things won't exactly be a surprise anymore. A lot of people from the south have mostly unintentionally showed people from the north things like mushrooms and DIYS. Same with the North showing the South the beauty of the Sakura seasons and whatnot. The same thing will happen in June as the North will share Summer stuff in the internet while the south will share winter stuff. Does this make sense? So my opinion is- don't be too upset about the seasons not being a surpise anytime soon. Unless, ofc, you are willing to avoid social media next month. Do not worry about events like Christmas or Halloween tho. Those events have not yet been patched so they will come when the event comes irl. No TTer should be able to accidentally spoil those. I hope this makes sense lmao. I am a bumbling idiot. Have a nice day. EDIT: spelling

[@SerpongeDash]

@@pinetree1751 the point is that seasonal stuff could have been a surprise when the season actually come but it's been spoiled before that even happened, I don't see how that shouldn't matter Edit: maybe I read what you said wrong but the thing I don't like is being spoiled items from seasons that haven't happened yet nowhere in the world and sadly that happens quite a lot, I'm thankful for the updates now that I see how everything coded in the game was already known a few days in

Omg yes.

[@nenechi4ever]

the literal only way to avoid this is to not browse acnh social medias. the game has been out for a while and it is entirely possible for people to have a great-looking island without having time travelled

[@payton1045]

I dont care how people play since it doesnt affect my gameplay. In my defense for time traveling, I'm a very impatient person and I just cannot wait a full day for things to be built. I've never used it for money or furniture but I mostly use it for moving out villagers. It's just made gameplay better for me personally

[@allbrightly]

I don’t time travel because I lose interest very quickly when I run out of “goals” in a game like achieving 5 stars/collecting all the flower hybrids/collecting all fish and bugs, etc. Some people are happy decorating and redecorating, but I know I’ll completely lose interest once i’ve achieved those goals. So, I’m enjoying taking the game slowly and savoring it, because I’ve been looking forward to this game for a long time.

[@Knitmur]

Gmoney 12 time travel has the potential to be done at a quicker rate whether it’s be buildings, catching certain bugs and fish faster or even as simple getting all the kk songs, so just because you or majority of time travelers don’t have that doesn’t mean the capacity for it isn’t there! That being said I don’t really care one way or another I’ll play it without time skipping cool and you can play it with time time traveling which is cool to :)

When I started playing I said I wouldn’t time travel, however after starting terraforming I decided that it was much quicker to move buildings/bridges. That’s the only time I will time travel as I enjoy playing the game normally as it’s just a wonderful and peaceful game!

[@FireyRuby]

Being mostly a time traveller, there are merits to getting a lot of tasks done just as you’ve said. This time around, there isn’t much backlash asides from the beware of rotting turnips and some of your in game progress may be lost if you turn back in time. For example, if you planned to have a camper move into your island and someone getting ready to move out. Then you time traveled back, that event didn’t happen at all. It happened to me in game Great vid Kora; keep them AC vids coming!

[@koramora]

Oh really? I didnt know it stopped events like that!

[@wilteddaisiess]

FireyRuby i only time travelled when i first got the game to get my shops and stuff built

[@FabioCapela]

@m a r y ! After you invite someone to replace a previous villager you need to play daily (or travel forward a day at a time) until your new villager is settled; if you travel back or skip a day (be it by travelling forward two days at a time or by simply not playing for a day) you could be stuck with a villager in the wrong house, and the only way to fix this is to kick that villager and invite him/her again.

Also, there are duplication bugs in the game that, "ruin the in-game economy," and haven't been addressed yet, so I doubt time traveler's were the main cause of that change.

I've so far only time traveled to get one thing - my rocks in a place I wanted them. I had spent a fortune on turnips and totally forgot about that aspect until I saw DaisyMae strutting around. So I paid my price for travelling, but in the end I think it was worth it since it took me the better part of the month to get things sorted (I have horrible spacial awareness and, protip, flowers dont count as obstacles. It was brutal having a "Blue Rose Breeding" station while trying to move rocks). That is one part of the game I wish we could choose - where exactly we want rocks. We can already pick up and move trees, why not rocks?

[@MetaAyaFangirl]

More information about if you time travel: Your villiager will wake up with messy hair that they'll tidy it up back to the hairstyle they had before. Villagers only move out if they have a bubble above their head and you talk to them and choosing if they move out or not, meaning they'll NOT move out automatically like in new leaf. If you time travel too far then you may get one of the seasonal recipes early before the actual season comes. Also you can participate in new years early but you may feel bad for the choice you made since some of the NPCs that host some of the events are not in the game yet.

[@patrickjsource]

I’ve literally never time travelled. I don’t care that people do, it’s just never been natural to me. It’s always added to the tranquility of the game to take things slowly and I love being excited to see what’s different with each day, and with seasons! I love seeing the change in seasons ☺️

Like having to wait real time for a building to be built, etc. When NH first came out during the pandemic and everyone was playing, it was fun for me to let time go normally and kind of experience the game along with everyone. But pretty quickly I got bored of spending an hour every day doing what I could and then having nothing let to do. I wanted more! So I started changing the clock and never looked back.
