I have been using the diving trick for the past few IRL days, and i haven't gotten one request? Does anyone know if this trick was deleted with the update?
They still work. I unlocked my pwp mostly through that. I think you just have to stay a bit longer (like more than 5 minutes) before seeing them more so if your friendship with them aren't high enough to alert them/make them ping right away.
The dive trick still works, if your villagers don't request new PWPs, then probably that's because you haven't build any PWP for a long time, I think. ://
Just a thought but do you have the right personality types to unlock more PWPs? I didn't get pings for new projects for ages but then I realised that I had 4 cranky villagers in my town so I had unlocked all the cranky PWP requests but couldn't get any uchi ones as I didn't have any villagers with that personality type.
-fill your inventory with flowers (they cant buy anything from you, and no inventory space for free gifts)
-have no bells on you (you cant buy anything from them)
I had no villagers ping me for a pwp, but I thought maybe it was because I hadn't built a pwp yet, so after I made a custom sign they started pinging me. Started doing the diving trick after and finally got all the pwp's I wanted after 10,000 jellyfish stings. I'm also pretty sure you only get one pwp ping a day, with a second being rare and time consuming, so I TT'd a lot.
