do you time travel?

[starlark]

yes, it's essential for cycling

 

[kesttang]

I don't time travel. I actually made a commitment with my fiance that we will never time travel when we got the game before Christmas last year. Hah. She's an expert in AC and I'm just a newb, but she got me addicted... Lol.

 

[Zulehan]

Time traveling in my cycling town is a given. For my main town, I time traveled a lot but carefully when I was landscaping, but now I never time travel.

 

[Melyora]

I do right now a bit. I restarted recently and on the first day I TT'd 2 weeks backwards (since it only counts as one day) and then I could work in my town, campsite reset and plot reset villagers 9 and 10 in. I am still 5 days removed from the current date, so it's not like I TT for long periods of time. It's just to get a few things done in the beginning.
After I catch up again, I won't TT unless I have to work a villager out that has pinged me.

 

[mdchan]

In my main town (and even my secondary town), I only TT to get villagers in (or out) to make room for dreamies.

If TTing helped me get the PWP projects I need to finish my towns faster, then heck yea, I'd do it more often. But unlike the fast paced days of Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing is a slow, day to day pace. It's best to enjoy a game the way it was made and intended for play...then go back through it with a guide book or things like TTing.

Though, occasionally, I might set the clock an hour or two ahead to be able to sell things in Re-Tail if I play the game before they're open. But then I set the clock back to its proper time the next time I play.

 

[TykiButterfree]

I only really tt if someone wants one of my villagers. I lost a couple of villagers to tt, so I don't like to do it often.
Though in other AC games, I don't have dreamies so I tt all of the time. My favorite times to tt are like 1 am in the summer for giant bugs and Christmas eve to trick Jingle with silly outfits.

 

[iGotNoiPad]

I don't time travel because I don't really have a reason for it but once school starts and if I don't have time to play it anymore, I might just time travel to participate in the events and festivals. I missed out on all the events and festivals after Groundhogs Day just because I didn't had time to play it anymore and am now regretting it so much.

 

[Megan.]

I time travel constantly on my other town. I try not to on my main game.

 

[Hypno KK]

I like playing normally but I've TTed to move out villagers. I can't see myself doing that soon.

Otherwise, I TT when there's an unexpected hiatus, so I won't lose any of my villagers.

 

[LilyElizabeth]

I played for 5 months without time travelling once and it was great. I got impatient and started travelling forward 5 days at a time to move out a villager, then I'd go back those 5 days and move in the villager I wanted, then go forward again to move another out and carry on like that to get my favourite villagers.

But I've stopped now. It took the fun out of the game and made my town feel more like an empty space I was trying to fill and not a lovely town I adore that takes everything slow.

I wish I hadn't started, but luckily for me there's no lasting damage e.g my town tree history is all still correct so only I know what I did.

 

[Middykins]

Seems quite a few people try not to, but do it anyway. TTing is sounding more and more like smoking.

 

[Ragdoll]

I used to, now I just enjoy the game as it is and go with the flow.

 

[Jaebeommie]

Nope. I don't want to risk losing any of my dreamies and I enjoy going with the flow of the game more than speeding things up with time traveling. I feel like if I do it, then I'll lose interest in ACNL quicker than if I were to enjoy it regularly.
Though I do see the practical applications of time traveling for purposes such as villager cycling as well as ordering items.

 

[Ryzon]

I'm pretty sure time traveling was never an intended 'feature', just a byproduct of what the game is.

 

[Eline]

I used to, but after I resetted my town I don't anymore. I like it that my town is having a slow progress, I think it makes the game more fun
