So, should snooty and crankies be mean again?

[Shawna]

In GC, befriending snooty and cranky villagers becomes frustrating, because you don't really see them warming up to you, even if you send letters, talk to them, do favors, etc. (looking at you Static)

But in NL, they sometimes feel so lifeless and emotionless, that even provoking them leaves you unpunished, which is just... unrealistic, and really actually boring, in my opinion.

Now don't get me wrong. I love that snooty villagers and cranky villagers are basically parental figures to us, upon befiending them.

So, to some extend, yes, I do think they should be mean to us again. This allows them to feel more lively and three-demensial.

However...

I would like to see them treat us differently, depending on our friendship with them. When we are just starting out on the befriending process, they should be mean to us, even GC-level mean. But as we build our frienship with them, we should start unlocking not-as-mean dialouge with those villagers, and as we get to the high points of our friendship with them, then, and only then, we can start unlocking the warm and loving dialouge that we love.

We want them to like us, but we want it to feel rewarding right? <333

It would be even better of they had motives for their meanness/rudeness that they opened up to us about if we have really high frienships with them.

. . .

So, what do you guys think?

I loved the Wild World Cranky and Snooty villagers.

Though crankies are very generous, and kind at heart, they did make you work for it, and it was worth it.

New Leaf crankies were so watered down they could've been lazy.

Hopefully New Horizons will put back the bite they had in Wild World.

The bottom option should say "I just want them villagers to be nice and peaceful. AC should be not about meanness.", not "I just want them villagers to be nice and peaceful. AC should be be about meanness". I cannot edit that part. -.-

I love cranky villagers to be mean and rude all the time, not sure why, they amuse me.

They were never what I'd call 'mean' though, and I wouldn't want them to be.

Cranky and mean are different.

Oh yes please bring this back!
It’s really hard to differentiate among some of the male villagers. Same thing with the snooty and other personalities. Everyone is your bestfried and always nice. I really want some of the villagers to be mean to me.

Very true.



I am gonna remake this thread due to a typo I am not able to edit.
Hopefully a staff sees this.
