I'm loving this game and this thread but I do have to say, the line between a spoiler and some tips to fellow gamers is very small with this game. I like to come on and read what everyone has done and received but sometimes I end up reading things that I didn't know about and would've preferred being surprised with lol.
Anyways, I do love how the game spaces things out now. Its annoying having to wait so long for things to happen or other things to become accessable but it makes the world feel alive as it grows over time. The fact that some tools haven't been available in weeks is also a nice touch as it fosters players to see others out and want to visit their villages.
How is everyone visiting each other's towns? Are you all opening your gates and just randomly checking who's open when you are playing? Every time I've gone on to see if anyone is open, I don't get any results. I am a night owl though so I don't really expect everyone to be playing as late as me lol. My progress has also suffered given the damn stores are just about closing when I finally get to put in work in AC. AC needs a Walmart supercenter lol.
Anyways, I think I've added everyone here so I'll be checking in on those gates every now and then lol. Till then, I'm glad to see everyone is having fun. AC is such an amazing game/series.
