Jumping into Pitfalls

[Meltd0wn]

I was just curious if anyone else here considers "Pitfalls" a waste of time?

With the exception of them being a time destroying hazard on the tours, they are a complete waste of space on my game, so I purposely trigger them just to get rid of them.

When I walk my town in the mornings to dig up fossils and gyroids, I purposely walk over every digging star before I dig it up, just in case its a pitfall and I can trigger it and have it gone.

I was just wondering if anyone else felt similar to me on pitfalls.

I do the same thing, because they sell for just 10 bells... it isn't worth a space in the inventory

If you dig up the pitfall seed first and then re-bury it in an out of the way corner of your town another will NEVER reappear. I've done this since the beginning. Assuming a friend doesn't come in and bury another one just to mess with you. Such a neat trick. I too hated pitfall seeds in WW and walked over them to get rid of them even after I had found all the fossils.

I save them to use on friends <

..when I can.. I usually end up on walking over them on accident.

I forgot all about doing this in my original AC game, Thanks for the reminder. (In AC:WW I had tons of visitors so they either fell in them or dug them up or I gave them away to them)

Thank you for this! I'm definitely going to do that.

I actually use them on villagers I dislike. It's funny seeing their reaction.

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

I throw my pitfall seeds away.

They are annoying, but I've seen some great YT Vids where players have created obstacle courses and such with them!

I consider myself lucky whenever I find pitfalls. I find them so entertaining! I tend to take pictures of myself falling in pitfalls because it is such fun to me. However, I still walk over marks on the ground whenever I go digging, just to make sure I'm actually digging up something I can sell. Because, no matter how funny pitfalls are, they won't pay for the PWPs!

 

[Sheepish]

I usually just use them up on villagers I don't like. I still have one 'drawer' full of the stuff, though, in case I think of something nice to do with them later on.

 

[Cevan]

I use them on the villagers I dislike.

I throw my pitfall seeds away.

How do you throw them away?

 

[ForgottenT]

Yup, I do it too.

THANK YOU! Pitfalls are a complete waste of my time and inventory space, and this tip may have just saved my virtual life.

edit: if you have a garbage can/waste bin/etc, whether in your home or the PWP, you can throw these annoyances away.

Wow I never knew that, thanks for the tip will definitely have to try it

 

[#TheCrossing]

Yes I do the same haha! But sometimes I take one to put just in front of one of my villagers (that I don't like obviously) to watch him fall into it and panicked!

Thanks for the tip. I'll be happy not to see any more of them return.

I always dig them up by mistake, when I pledged myself the last time to walk over the stars.
If I do fall through one in my town, I don't really care, but when I dig one up, I just rebury it and walk on it on purpose.
I can't wait to get the rubbish bin.

 

[TiffaniMichele]

When I see a crack in the ground, I always walk over it. If I don't fall in, I dig it up (obviously). I just get so annoyed when I dig something up and it's a pitfall.
