Games need to be reset daily/weekly

[BeJamin87]

With this game breaking bug where you can change your time and date on your PC and not be able to pick herbs off the ground. All I did was set the wrong month in by accident and now I can't pick any herbs for a month lmao. And is sounds like the Devs are acting like is my fault I "Time Traveled"... dudes.. i changed the month on my computer and now I cant pick herbs for a month. That's a little crazy. I get how this can be used as an exploit possibly because all my trees popped up and crops grew. stuff like that and thorns and what not. but this is early access. We are supposed to find exploits and bugs like this by accident and let you all know about them. Not be punished for them. Whatever it's just herbs but figured I'd throw in my two cents.

I mean, the devs were already aware of those bugs and told players not to do it because of them. They also stated that those issues would be low priority.

Also, the only point of time travelling is for people who are tired of only seeing nighttime in the game because they can't play earlier, or need to pick up a quest item that requires a specific time where they cannot play. Other than that, there's no reason to do it.

[BeJamin87]

Yeah but if you include the bug where you lose your Ultimate and Deluxe package when starting a new game. This is where I think it should be higher priority. I can't start a new game which would be quicker. I was just experimenting. I had no idea about this bug. I should have I guess just never heard of it. I found it. Just luck like that. That's exactly what I was doing completing a quest that needed it to be morning. I login at 11am. I guess that's not morning for the Devs. so I skipped to the next day to see if it would work at 5am. It did. then when I went back I forget to set the month back.

And also.. calling it time travel... I'm not hacker man. I changed the time on my computer... People do this all the time on games. This is not new.

[BeJamin87]

People have lives outside of Dreamlight Valley. Just saying. This should be higher on priority or at least have weekly or daily resets for people that do it by accident.

Devs have more important things to work on. Plus, time travelling bugs aren't really that big of an issue, since you just have to wait. One month isn't that bad. Imagine setting the wrong year, though. That would have been much worse. At least now, you know not to make that mistake ever again.

I never said nor implied you hacked the game. Going back to an earlier or later time in a video game by messing with your console's/PC's clock is literally called "time travelling". At least, that's how Animal Crossing players call it, and many of them do it. It's just an easier and more pratical way to refer to it.

Or they could just make the in-game time independent from the real time. Or better yet, give the players the option to decide. Many people have been asking for it.

Don't mess with the actual time or date on your device, or you will break your game, and might as well just start a new game if you have done this. This is not a Bug, It is Anti Cheat Code.

[Hannigan]

if you want to play in daylight, change your devices timezone to somewhere that it is currently day time.

[BeJamin87]

lol well if my game is already broke then im gonna play with it broke I already damn near beat the game. Anti Cheat? When did games take this stuff so seriously? I can change the time of day on my computer without cheating on a game lmao. Sounds like a lot of work when they could of just coded to fix the problem in the first place and used a server time.

[BeJamin87]

and anyway all jokes aside they have said it is a bug that is low priority already. They never said it was anti cheat bro. I swear man I'm on your side. I just feel like this could be game breaking for some people. Honestly for me its not. its just herbs. I can change the time in my PC again to get more herbs. It's that easy. I can change the time to grow crops. I just did to test it out. I can change time backwards. plant, then 2 hours back to current time and its all grown. So don't tell me this is not game breaking. This is the biggest exploit I have ever seen in my life if there ever was one.

You can't start a new game? That seems odd since a new game should not be impacted by decisions you made on a different save. Depending on how long you have to wait, I would opt for starting a new save. I would back up my existing save and re-install it later. As soon as I learned how to do that, I backed up my save just in case I ever got caught by a bug I could recover. Fortunately, finished all the missions with no bugs.

[BeJamin87]

I dont need to start a new game I have an game save on my steam deck about 3/4 through the game if I want. But I'm almost done. My game isn't broke at all. I can do everything except herb. if i need more herbs I just fast travel Oct. 31 7pm and can pick them all. all the ones that are there and new ones pop up and treasure and vines and everything. its great. then i go back to my time and do everything else. My game isn't broken. It took the blue pill bro.

So you just admitted it was not an accident and many many games have big issues when you "time travel"... so deal with it and stop doing that.. you won't have any issue anymore if you simply don't do it..

Also, playing the game in an unintended way is called a glitch. Glitching on purpose is called an exploit and is considered cheating. Therefore, many devs ban people who intentionally exploit bugs and/or broken features. I would say: you deserve more than being bugged IMO. Karma got you and taught you a lesson. Deal with it now! :D

[BeJamin87]

Okay buddy. Didn't know it was illegal to play a game the way I want and experiment and have fun. But the Game isn't broken. It's working fine lmao

[BeJamin87]

Also an online game shouldn't be this easy to "Glitch" if you can call it that. I change the time on MY COMPUTER. The devs are well aware of this bug and are going to fix it. I made this post to say I think it should be fix and it should be high priority because it is an exploit. I encountered it to change my my time from 11am to 5am. I didnt know that was such a big deal to you Cmdo.Delta you take this game very seriously I see that now.
