How Often Do You Time Travel?

[Marzipan_Mandy]

I've always found myself TTing over 10 times a day and feeling rather guilty about it afterwards. It worsened after I reset my town and felt very impatient with the slow process of restarting, but now I just can't get out of the habit. I've lost dreamies out of this! ╥﹏╥ I miss you Flurry, I'll see you again some day. (Just need to cycle out one more, my love)

So, how often do you time travel? Do you have regrets in doing so?

I usually time-traveled when I reset. It wasn't a radical amount of times...I just hated the SLOWNESS. I wanted to see my first villagers! Now I only TT if I need to get a villager out ASAP.

Yes and dearie me, I ended up losing Tia due to this, so now I am on the hunt for another Dream Villager ;_; However when I do Time Travel, I usually go 1 day at a time and make sure nobody will ping me to leave, just very bad luck with Tia xD But anyways I actually TTed to get the Emporium and to catch some certain bugs/fish as well as festivals

I sort of regret not going at a day-to-day pace, but am overall happy with what I have accomplished<3

I usually time travel if there's nothing to do for the rest of the day, trying to get caught up on something, or try to skip to an event that I really want to get done with.

 

[AkatsukiYoshi]

I never TT anymore because it messes my town up too much. I restarted my town once because of too much TT.

 

[Imaginetheday]

I time travel regularly because I didn't play for awhile and want to catch up. I try to play multiple days in a single day if I can. I'm less than a month behind at this point.

I time travel regularly, but carefully. Often I end up "time-traveling" to stay on the same ACNL day even though actual days are passing when I don't have much time to play. I know this is not really what most people mean by time traveling, but I get really paranoid about losing villagers when I haven't had anyone ping for a few days, so I'll just replay the same day for a while to be sure no one is moving. But once I reject a ping to move, I'm happy to make big jumps forward to events or a new Gracie season. My villagers are safe, and I keep beautiful town on so things don't look too bad. My villagers seem to regain friendship levels in a matter of days.

I time travel a lot. If I'm growing hybrids, I'll TT as far as a week ahead, then hop all the way back, then start forward again.

I know that TT'ing on this site is frowned upon, but I really don't understand why. It doesn't really ruin the fun of the game for me, nor does it make me feel like I'm ~cheating~ since it's supposed to be a similar timeline to my life, because tbqh it isn't a similar timeline to my life. It isn't a parallel life to me because in my actual life I have to work and pay bills, and not communicate with woodland creatures to see if they want a new sofa, you know?

Truthfully, I kind of feel guilty that I don't feel guilty, weird as that is.

 

[kasane]

A lot in my second town. Kinda temporarily abandoned my first town but I'll TT back some day ;-;
It's a pretty new town so I'm TT'ing day by day for upgrades, hybrids and (mainly) PWP suggestions

 

[Dinashadow]

I TT once in a while, usually to move a villager out so I can have 9 in case someone I like comes to my campsite. It's been a really slow pace but I'm a college student and don't have much time to play anyways. I find TT takes away part of the fun of the game for me because everyday I can always look forward to sitting down and playing a new day.

 

[TaskBarR]

I only time travel when I want to go to a villager's box date or void them. That is all.

 

[Ankhes]

Often enough, but carefully and usually only a day or so. I often don't have time for a "thorough" play on most days so I TT a bit to keep caught up or to catch up.

Like now, I just started Halloween Day and it's not even time for the festivities in my town and if I don't TT a few hours I'll miss it.

And I don't feel guilty or anything. I only do what I feel I do for my own game and personal style and lifestyle.

 

[Nashiro]

Only once in a while really. I only TT'd today because I was busy for the halloween festivities yesterday and I couldn't participate in the event to get items. So I TT'd back to yesterday, got the entire creepy set and the pumpkin heads and TT'd back to today where I caught up with things I needed to do in my little town. I'll only TT if I want to get rid of a villager quicker and such.

I usually just time travel a day, but I can time travel for up to a week sometimes. The reason I time travel is usually so that I can farm beetles and sharks on the island, if I missed anything important (ex: spotlight items, visitors, petitions), or if one of my dreamies or villagers I really like is being offered and someone is moving but still not in boxes.

I used to do it a lot but not so much now.

 

[rosabelle]

I did it so early the first time I got my town. LOL I messed up my town tree and got so frustrated with it and so I reset. Now in my new town, I only TT when needed but I try to avoid it for the most part. I only TT when I forget to buy turnips or when I need more hybrids but ofc make sure not to lose any villagers in the process.

 

[Chibi.Hoshi]

I time travel sometimes depending on what it is. I normally time travel over a few hours, rarely days. Just in case I miss something throughout the day. If days, only if I want to kick out a villager.....takes days in real life time for me, time traveling in-game.

 

[Capeet]

I have time traveled a lot ever since resetting my town. I want to get my landscaping finished as soon as possible, and once I've done that I'm not going to TT anymore. (At least not to this extent.) The landscaping would just take forever without it. The messed up town history and tree don't bother me too much. We'll see if I regret TTing so much in the future.

I've decided not to TT with a second copy if I end up buying it.

In the beginning of the game I time travel a lot because of villagers and such. After a while the time travelling slows down though, and then I only TT whenever necessary. Like for example, if I haven't played the game in a few months or so.
