My feelings about the new Tripping feature

[AppleBitterCrumble]

i think my best advice would be not to run that way u dont risk it, it may take a bit to go places but it adds to the relaxing-ness of the game, you're just taking a slow stroll on your tropical oasis!

i dont have autism but I totally understand how that may be stressful to someone who is! <3

Personally, tripping never bothered me much in ACNL. Other than a little animation it... really didn't do much. It didn't hurt my enjoyment of the game at all. I'm sorry it's upsetting you so much, but I really don't think it'll be as bad as you think it will be. I don't say that to dismiss your feelings, I say it because I know, from my experience (*pokes custom title*) I tend to get really worked up over certain changes, especially ones I wasn't expecting. I nearly had a full-on autistic meltdown when I read the game was going to be released without holidays. I thought there was NO WAY I'd be able to enjoy the game as much as I enjoyed ACNL because of it. But... then I played the game. And I'm enjoying it more than I ever enjoyed ACNL- and that's REALLY saying something. What felt like it could ruin the game for me turned out not to be a big deal for me at all, and I realized there was no reason to get as upset as I did. Would I have preferred the game with all the holidays already in? Sure. But I still enjoy it. And you may prefer the game without tripping... but I also think you may find it's not as bad as you're worried it'll be.

So, to be clear, when I say "I don't think it'll be so bad", I don't say it because I want to dismiss your feelings. I say it because I know I tend to get worked up over things that aren't as big a deal as I make them out to be and, when I do, it helps me to have someone say "It won't be so bad." and explain why. I hope this helps even just a little.

If tripping is back, we might get Katrina and her lucky hats.

For me personally, I don't care about holidays so much. Its just that I personally run a lot of the time to get from point A to B. It will also be bad during the bug-off or fishing event. It affects the entire game.
Also, I don't want to have to wear some lucky hat 24/7 :,(

What?

Oh they didn't!

If it's back then this game is now 100% horrid.

I'm done.

 

[FaerieRose]

I have autism as well, so I know how stressful even small changes can be. Hopefully, things will seem less overwhelming once you've had time to process your feelings.

Why is the game horrid because of tripping..?

It takes all my strength not to snap with the constant tools breaking, the crafting, the inventory of crap I lug around.

Tripping over is the LAST thing I need while I'm trying to find some enjoyment in this game.
I too have RL medical conditions and AC was therapeutic.

I run everywhere on my island!

 

[Seastar]

The only really annoying thing I remember about tripping is you would lose a balloon if you were holding one.

 

[Skunk]

Oh, I do not like change someones because I am most likely Autistic. I am awaiting evaluation results. This change in ACNH is awful for me and I'm very stressed and sad about it.
I wish it was a feature that was removed.

Hi hi, you can avoid tripping by not running, and just walking instead! I hope it doesn't ruin the enjoyment of the game for you : (

 

[Cosmic-chan]

I've been running all over my island haven't tripped yet.

It would ruin the enjoyment for me, I run all the time for a quicker experience.

Well, they’re not going to remove it because you don’t like it. I don’t understand the point of this thread. There’s a way to avoid tripping if it’s that game-ruining for you, but you won’t do it. Okay then, your options are now either deal with the possibility of tripping or quit the game.

I hope the lovely phone from ACNL is a fireworks prize. In ACNL you used the phone to get the lucky item of the day. Wear it and you would stop tripping. In ACNH a cute phone could replace the lovely phone.

For me the dream suit is a complete horror because of my past trauma. it immediately triggered me watching the video with that creepy lady creeping on the person while sleeping.. now i cant sleep in my house without someone bothering me in my sleep? After reading the story about how the creepy ant eating thing can take your hopes and dreams I legit broke down in tears and had a mental breakdown with flashbacks..why would they do this.. its just so wierd.. id prefer not to have the update but they make u update to do things and its just horrible

 

[Your Local Wild Child]

Oh man I kinda wanted tripping because it fits my character so much. I understand if that freaks you out a little though.

 

[Lotusblossom]

Running in this game is not well designed as it is. When i run everything around is a blur and it hurts my eyes.

Your reply seems a bit too mean, the OP explained why they didnt like it in this quote. They are voicing their frustrations because they are having troubles coping and getting used to change, especially to something that is probably new to them. (assuming they haven't played past games.)

considering that the king tut mask has returned as a DIY and tripping is back, it seems that luck seems to be playing a part in the game again - hoping this means that katrina will be added, maybe for the fall update? would definitely fit the impending spooky vibes aha.

i personally haven’t tripped yet but honestly, i’m kind of glad that it’s back in the game as i’ve missed the whole luck aspect of playing aha

 

[Khaelis]

Tripping is back? Time to clip out of bounds.
