Skipping Time

[Zephent]

Whats your opinion on skipping time, in ANY Animal Crossing game...?


Personally im against it, I think it takes away from the point of the game and kills the fun factor too fast. Not that i've never done it, but I try to avoid it.

I'm for it, as long as it doesn't involve something that make pride. For example, If the guests in the town were appreciating how a garden has a lot of hybrids. And were just grown today...

I prefer to only time travel when its really necessery. Like if you accidently got the wrong haircut and look VERY ugly. Another situation where I think it would be needed is that if you accidently set a playdate with a villager at 3 in the morning.

I agree that certain situations call for it.

But I dont like to, im wondering if people will skip time in City folk to get holiday items then sell them on the auction house, I hope not...

Heck, In ACWW some people even sold themselves for cash. >.< Good thing nobody here would do that...hopefully no one would thats not here. If the auction house didn't identify the seller there'd be some trouble.

I really try not to skip time. The few times I have done it is for the trees I have planet to be fully grown so I can grab some extra cash... but I don't do that anymore... and hopefully won't do it in the new one.

I'm against time traveling as well. But back in the days of AC for the GameCube, that used to be the main "cheating" that nobody liked. In ACWW it was obviously AR... and Nintendo even ENCOURAGED players to time travel in WW :huh:

They made it possible to time travel right in the game (didn't even have to change the system's time), and when ACWW was coming out they said they did that so people who are busy and miss something can go to it when they are available. They said some people have schedules where they only have the opportunity to play at night, for example. I say... if you miss something you miss it! :gyroidtongue:

I've done it plenty of times, though I'm generally against it when playing the game more seriously. If you can call Animal Crossing serious. The main reason I don't is because of the damn weeds that pop up everywhere.

 

[KingKombat]

I'll only do it if something like a REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY rare
hat/object/pattern comes around, such as the big bro cap.

 

[neverbeenkrissed]

i'm conflicted. i get angry when i can't make it home in time for an event, or wake up early enough to buy/sell turnips on a sunday.

in WW, i started making hybrids of flowers, and i couldn't risk any of them dying. so i would set it back and play that day, only to check on/water flowers, and then advance to the next day. i haven't decided how i'm going to do it this time, i just know i have a lot less time on my hands!!

 

[Zephent]

As I stated, im against it, and have decided to not associate with cheaters of any manner in City Folk, i'd like to try the game the way its meant to be played for a while before I start doing anything else.

 

[Chadwick]

I'm against it. I used to do it a lot in WW but I haven't done it in CF. Hopefully I never will.

 

[Circe]

In general Im against it. I did do it in the game cube one but that was after my house was paid for and i got board of the game but I'm not going to do that with this game.

 

[Palad][n]

Im against it too, but how do u get the big bro cap? (PM me). And also, i think Time Travel is only ok if you missed an event in AC because of a real life event, then its ok to travel back hours/few days

 

[Deleted User]

I personally think that the whole time-skip system is a good idea, but I would like to see a sort of link between this system and the actual game, like the characters realizing that time skipped or something

 

[Bacon Boy]

Just did it to get the statue in gcn. Set it to new years day. hehe

 

[Away236]

Eh...never really thought of doing it..just too much work changing the time and stuff

 

[traceuser12]

im against i mean it ruins the game too fast

In general, it's a fun-killer, but sure, if you're THAT impatient, then go for it.

If you miss something by a few minutes, or even hours, then sure, it's fair.
