Advice Asap??

I havent been on in Azalea in a few days so i created a new character to check if anyone has gone..
Bluebear has...
Is it true i can time travel back two days, and then go on as a new character and she will be back?? then i can prevent her moving

You can TT back to the last time you played and start a new character to see if she's still there. If she is then load up your mayor, check to see if anyone wants to move, and after saying no you can TT back to today.

I'm going back day by day and checking on a new character each time, to see if shes back, is that ok??

Yeah, I'd assume so.

 

[Gizmodo]

Right im on the 21st and shes in boxes... im on a new character
if i go back one more day it will be easter again, will she still ping :s?

 

[Summ3rain]

No they don't ping on easter so going back to the day before may be better c: good luck!

 

[Gizmodo]

Yeah i'm going to just go back to the 19th and skip over Easter, so i dont have to break the rocks etc
prevent her from moving, tt back to the 23rd

 

[Gizmodo]

I'm so confused can someone please explain??
i skipped over Easter...
i went on as a new character on the 19th.. shes in boxes
Went on as a new character on the 18th.. shes in boxes
Why??

 

[DarkFox7]

I think now that she's in boxes it's too late... Once they're in boxes, I don't think there's anything you can do then. Sorry

 

[Gizmodo]

But she was already gone??
Her house was gone lol and I got her back but now can't get her out of boxes? :s

 

[Sorgatani]

TTing backwards counts as one day, no matter how many days. That's actually why she's still in boxes.

When they ping, they are REALLY telling you how many days it will be until they'll be in boxes - so if they ping you on the 15th, telling you they'll be moving on the 20th, and you TT backwards to the 14th, then that villager would be in boxes on the 19th instead.

Maybe if you TT backwards one day further as a new character, Bluebear will be saved. It will be too late if you've already logged in as an existing character though.

 

[Gizmodo]

I know that..
which is why it makes no sense i went back a day and her house reappeared eventhough it was previously gone lol..
What day would she have pinned?
suppose illl just go on as my mayor and let her be adopted..
atleast i saved her from being voided by going bac

Ive gone back on the 19th, 18th, 17th
still in boxes
so maybe the 16th?? as that would be the day she'd first pin to move on the 21st? idk

I'm sure there are better explanations out there, I don't know anywhere near enough about the game mechanics.
Good luck finding her a new home.
I'd offer you my Cookie, who's pinged for a few days' time, but her house looks like a bomb hit it.

This is what happened to me when I lost Astrid! I restarted as a new character, she was gone. TTd back but lost her anyway! Be careful it's so easy to lose them! Good luck

 

[Summ3rain]

Find a day she's not in boxes. But don't forget to save your new character so that the game saves in that current state (her not in boxes).. after that you're safe to load up as mayor and get her to ping! good luck!

 

[Gizmodo]

But how many days will it be until shes not in boxes?

 

[~Mae~]

try setting the date like 10 days backwards in settings and then loading up a new character, other than that... I have no idea D;

 

[VioletPrincess]

Did you go on as a previously saved character when she was in boxes? I am not sure how she could be in boxes on multiple days.

Nope I didn't which is why it's so odd lol

Just keep TT-ing (using your 3ds clock) one day at a time backwards until you notice she's notice she's not in boxes. I didn't play AC for 2 weeks, when I loaded up a new character (just for kicks) I noticed 2 of my Villagers moved out. It took me about an hour to find a date where they both were still in town.

And Villagers can still move OUT on Holidays, they just won't ping - so if I were you, I'd try Easter ... since it seems like you were skipping that day?
