I time travel all the time, it's a large part of the game for me. In past games, villagers would even acknowledge it and call you a time traveler.
Generally it's not looked down on in this community, people should play the game they way they think is the most fun for them.
Though outside of TBT it is considered controversial.
Yeah Anti TT seems a bit toxic to people who TT and was just curious how it was viewed here glad I won't be treated like a criminal!
The way I see it, it’s your game, do with it as you will; you paid for it. Time traveling is a sort of exploit since it’s not a feature in the game, it’s something you have to do outside of it. However, it Nintendo didn’t want this to work and found it to be too much of an exploit, they would’ve patched it and made it so the time in the game does not change and will follow whatever time it was last before the change(this could get complicated and simply not worth doing tbh). It is a small exploit and not harmful. Coming back around to you should do as you please. Personally, I loved being able to play New Leaf without time traveling; only time traveling if necessary, like to kick certain villagers out to get villagers I wanted. With this game I very much feel the need to time travel as 1: there isn’t as much to do and 2: I’m much busier now(I’m a mom now) and don’t have as much time
I can understand being a parent making time travel probably needed personally I see an exploit as something that breaks the game and only I only see it as cheating if people are like doing exploits online to get a stupid amount of bells I do think I could see myself slowing down but rn I'm having fun just knocking down many days in a row
I'm not a fan of it personally. Cheating in games has always taken the fun out of them for me. That's not to say I haven't done it though.
I've no opinion on others doing it.
Personally as I said above I don't see it as cheating just playing the game at your own pace but that's just my opinion and I do believe people are entitled to there opinion
I didn't TT at all when I first played AC:NL which was fun for a while, but I'm someone who likes to get sucked into a game for hours and not TTing isn't too conducive to that since you run out of things to do in one day eventually. I started TTing whenever I was finished with my dailies each day and that fit my playstyle more. Once AC:NH came out I did the same thing and will continue to. People like to play their games differently and it's not really my (or anyone else's really) business to say which way is wrong or right.
I agree with what you said totally like I said I tried doing it the way many see as "legit" but I just got bored quickly
(again not knocking on people who don't time travel)
I will use time travel sometimes to achieve a specific goal, such as moving in a villager with amiibo.
But I won't time travel outside of that, and when time travelling I won't do anything other than the goal I set out to achieve.
I personally don't get the appeal in long term time travelling. To me that would strip the game of all of its joy and charm.
But to each their own
I think it just has to do with being able to do multiple days and just get sucked into the game for hours without feeling bored that you've done everything that day but I can understand the appeal of not time traveling just spending an hour or so on a day and then going about your day
Im cool with tt. I use it a lot myself. The only thing that really bugs me about it is when people bash on others for tting because 'its cheating'.
It's fine if you consider it cheating, just don't give someone a lot of hate for doing it, ya know?
Yeah that was my concern people who time travel are treated as like criminals by some I'm just like "it's just a game"
