I swear I am becoming a gang stalker schizo due to this game. Every mission I do theres always a random person just following me.
Anyone know any good ways to make money?
>>2598791ERP and sell your body for money
Encountered my first and second "people bothering newbies" today. When I was killing stuff someone popped out of nowhere and instakilled everything on the map, so they got the kill and the loot, made a devilish face and ran off. Another time when I was heading somewhere someone made rock barriers so I couldn't pass.
The rain...
really cool game, shame the actual gameplay and grind is the most atrocious garbage ive ever seen. need to start balancing things based on new players and not the freaks that have played the same byond game for over a decade and know every pixel of ever map.
Is anyone close to lv 15 yet? Would like to visit Kinzen today later, apparently there's a questline and some funsies there>>2598791No clue, crafting seems the better way to get ryo, but the entry cost is too high
How rare are these?
>>2599086I dunno what they were thinking by having you start out with kill 50 - kill 70 quests. Thats an insane amount for starting.
>>2599457Kill 50 is manageable. I did a kill 50 daily in about 10 minutes yesterday and it basically doubled my XP per kill.I'm pretty much immune to kill x after Iris. If I'm getting a level up for killing anything less than 100 guys, in anything less than an hour, I'm zooming.
The numbers in this game are weird. It's very tight. The PvP seems extremely fighting gamey.
Just checking the other villages out of curiosity. Here is Sand.
>>2599573Tf is even that language?
>>2599573fucking kek
And Mist. Exactly what you'd expect.
>>2599706They are mix between stoners and emo kids. Amazing
>>2599526Yeah, Taijutsu vs Taijutsu combat has a very fightan feel, to predicting subs to setting up stun combos, kinda nice
>>2599706tfw no hidden mist mommy to dominate me in pvp
>>2599573Wtf, that's not even portuguese anymore
>>2599947The BRs have their containment server now, and whatever the hell that language is has moved in.
>>2599947>>2599960Its an anime ninja isometric game.Filipino
The hidden mist village invades the sand village
>>2599816There is some Missing Nin cuties that would love to trip you and have their way with you anon, believe it!
The TDM is hectic. Whoever Rick James is handed my ass to me multiple times. Fan bros, i'm not feeling so good.
The grind doesn't stop after collecting 200 garbage bags...
>>2599969Dios mio
>>2599969>FilipinoHOLY FUCK THANK GOD LEAF WON
>>2600215fan is good in pvp, but you gotta play very defensively and look for opportunities to punish. also upgrade your basic fan to the "seji no hani" fan ASAP. you can farm if from the scarabs in the secret sand cave once you hit level 20, but they're so common you can typically just buy them for 2k-3k. sometimes vet players give them away for free too.fan is cool because each different fan weapon has a different range / area / effect. SnH is an amazing newbie fan that can last you all the way up to endgame (and beyond if you're good).basic pvp strategy with fan is to use your jutsus to keep people away from you, then follow it up with fan attacks and kunais for damage. if the enemy ever gets close enough to melee you, you're screwed.
>>2600274hshshshshshs ;^)
The missions are very unfun. They boil down to either boring or frustrating. I keep getting told it gets better once you get out of early levels but shouldn't the early levels be there to grab you into the game? Not force you to truck through. And the more I truck through, the more annoying quests I get introduced to.
>>2600355I agree and many players have recommended improving the early experience, but the developers prefer to improve mid to late game for whatever reason. Later missions involve sneaking into villages or stealing items with little to no time investment for 100k~ exp, rather than killing 60+ monsters. It is a product of a previous version of the game and has no right to exist in its current state.
Random shit I'm musing on:>Charging your chakra while your chakra is full decreases your cooldowns (seems like it roughly 1.5-2x it), so increasing your chakra stat effectively lowers your cooldowns (because it takes less time to get back up to full chakra after you use your jutsus)>ninja tools (shuriken etc.) seem to have insane scaling for their cooldowns. usually it seems you gain +1 damage per stat point, but low CD / spammable stuff will gain like +0.5 points or whatever. Tools have +0.5 scaling but only a 2 second cooldown (for reference my "spammable" 15 second CD main jutsu only has +0.6 scaling)>It's really common in PVP to do a melee attack and then follow it up with an instant speed jutsu, which cancels the lag. This works in PvE too obviously.>There's a weird breakpoint where the Butcher Sword apparently gives you a 32 base damage weapon for only 30 strength, which is really efficient, but IDK if it's worth going for that on an Intelligence build (you do get better weapons eventually)
leaf raid(?)
>>2600398>Later missions involve sneaking into villages or stealing items with little to no time investment for 100k~ exp, rather than killing 60+ monsters.Its this for me thats my main bugbear right now. It feels too time consuming, and like a waste of time. And wasting time was fine for like 2000 MMOs but not these days. Like every time I complete a mission I feel like "Why was it that long?" Like why kill 70 Wolves when you can just make it kill 10 Wolves and then dish out the same amount of EXP? Its less time wasting that way. Why does it need to be 70 other than padding? I've seen people say in Guild Chat that it's to incentivise teaming but we're lucky in that we all arrived here as a group. If I was a Joe Average solo player, I'd have to kill all 70 of that shit on my own because everyone else is super high level anyways and rather dismissive of newbies. And I feel like I'm learning and gaining nothing. A lot of MMOs these days have learned to tailor their early game as an introductory period. All the first missions just so happen to be things you need to learn through the game. And I thought this is what Nin Online was initially doing. You have the tutorial, then you have the tour around the village, then you have suspicious individual which is like a jumping/platforming introductory mission but then after that its "Ok go do dailies" and the dailies are just "Ok pick up 20 weeds. Ok cool pick up 30 weeds. You bored of picking up weeds? Go kill 20 Wolves. Ok now kill 40 wolves. Now kill 50 wolves!" You may as well not have the missions in the game and go "Just fuck off and grind."Then you get to the sneaking missions and they just feel like time wastes too because you just get killed by high levels over and over and over and lose exp. Its just little things that could be tightened more.
>>2600655its because its an rp game disguised as a real game. the main playerbase has been playing for so long they just dont even care about how the game plays at lower levels. they have millions and millions of the currencies and high level alts and friends that will just boost them through to max. its pretty pointless trying to start.
>>2600355>>2600398>>2600655Its pretty much what >>2600685 says. They cater towards their high level and regulars, most of which have been around since the BYOND days. And they are most likely the most active and vocal on their discord. Which is fine, a lot of changes to bring in new people would alienate that playerbase anyways. They're basically at a crossroads when it comes to that, in order to bring in new players they're gonna have to shed a lot of their BYONDness but in order to do that, it'll alienate their established playerbase.
>>2600829I get that big changes would alienate the established playerbase, but there are plenty of things that could be improved for newbies, yet wouldn't affect veterans. Decreasing the numbers early missions ask for, increasing low-level mob exp so you don't need to kill thousands of wolves to reach level 10, decreasing the prices of early-game healing items and commodities, giving newbies viable ways to sell stuff for more than a single digit. None of these would affect veterans.While we've encountered some really helpful locals, I've also seen some embarrassing trash-talk, and players are very eager to pick on someone 50 levels below them for easy kills. I wouldn't be surprised if the devs are having headaches dealing with their established playerbase resisting change with literal "NO, noobs must suffer LOL" arguments.
>>2600909>I wouldn't be surprised if the devs are having headaches dealing with their established playerbase resisting change with literal "NO, noobs must suffer LOL" arguments.You should have seen the shit storm after the PVP toggle was introduced.
its sad to see, because i can see a really fun roleplaying/pvp game beneath the absolute dogshit fully required pve grinding. honestly, just remove ALL MOB GRINDING from the game and have exp come from interesting missions, crafting, and the cool role play mission thing thats already in the game.when the fuck did naruto go out and kill 500 wolves or run around the city to smash trash bags? why is that even a thing in the game? just because 'all mmos are like this, so ours has to have this pointless grinding'?is it literally just in the game to gatekeep new players? like, if you dont want your population to grow you do you, i can understand the appeal of having a tight knit small community. but i cant see a reason for any of how the early game is set up besides grinding for grinding sakes.
>>2600922I can sort of imagine. The PvP toggle is a mockery. The game is way too grindy to give up a +25% boost, especially when it even affects quest rewards. It's there so they can say "well actually" to the poor reviews newbies leave, while their veterans can keep feeling good, preying on people a quarter of their level.
speaking of anti-noob shit, im genuinely curious how/why they changed the medical ninja missions >medical-nin are given additional healing missions to mitigate the fact they cant grind for shit>devs changed it so unless you're part of village organization, you can't access the mission>the organization has a finite amount of slots and is no doubt run by people who've been there for half a decadei would also think that the people in the organization would barely benefit if at all from the exp.
>>2600941You're starting to see why the reviews said the game was a giant clique.
Time to go buy a trashcan lid hat.
Sorry steam next fest is up so im out for the week, enjoy your ninjer moments
>>2601035damn shame, lots of good work so the dev and his buddies can splash around in a kiddie pool
>>2601061I mean that's every BYOND game really
I'm crashing out at "preparing world textures".
>>2601078nvm, it's working now I guess
Couldn't afford the black one so got the 500 trash copper hat instead
so what do I do to level up from level 1?
>>2601263Some anons said to grind mobs up to lvl 15 then do dailies. Or you can slowly grind it out over the course of a few days and just do dailies.
>>2601263if you hate yourself, kill mobs til 15 so you wont waste your dailies that day. if you are a functioning adult, grind up to like 10 then just do dailies everyday.
The Newbie TDM was chaotic as fuck, but I had some fun on it, I really wish I didn't suck that bad at this game though
I can't tell if this game is full of 12 or 42 year olds pretending to be 12.
Kohi's Mom at the Event Building in the Kinsei Quarters is kind of a hoe.
That fucker made nin crash.
>>2601398it is 33 year olds pretending to be 13.
it's the guy
Ninja shuffle!
HONORABLE DISPLAY
My fuarkin heroooo
https://files.catbox.moe/my04ur.mp4It was fun, I am really surprised we managed to slip past Mist. The journey was something else, you HAD to be there.
>>2601820i was surprised by how much fun that wasi guess it really is just a slog in the beginning/alone
>>2601831Yeah, the game really opens up after lv 15, reminds me a bit of Iris and how grindy the star was, but we had a blast after the first few days.Honestly now I feel bad that I picked a mlg-esque meme, should have named my goober better.Next step is getting us to level 20, so we can tackle Zabuza's storyline
>>2601820>you HAD to be there.>you had to be part of a clique to have fun with the clique gameWow, really?
>>2601840I know what you are.But I been playing with all anons that came up my way, if you want to join, just say so, dummy
So is this going to be dead before I even have the chance to play it? Is everyone already high level so I can't catch up?
>>2600963What? 25% is tiny even if there's a lot of grind. Does it do anything else like lock you out of good quests?If I had to choose between a 200 hour leveling run and a 250 hour one I'd just move on early. What am I missing here?
>>2601897Most anons seems to be in the 16-20 bracket, with a few still in their early 10s, think you can get there in a day or two anon
>>2601815mating press lids...
Is there a required level to join the guild?
>>2601913Nothing. You aren't locked out ot nothing by disabling pvp.Some quests (Parcel, infiltration, hot springs sneaking) will make you go to another village, and that insta flags you for pvp. But besides the xp and the drops, not much.The drops help a bit though, specially early on when you are short on cash and need more blank scrolls, getting new jutsus can be a pain sometimes
>>2601999nah, I was invited at like 2 or 3.
>>2602029Is there anyone online who can invite or is it dead hours?
>>2601913>>2602000small and autistic correction:if you're unflagged for pvp, you cannot heal or resurrect any pvp-flagged players (only matters for medical-nin).also if you do escort/envoy missions (which are BIG XP) while unflagged, there's a gang of pvp-thirsty rogues out there who like to body block pvp-off npc escort so the timer runs out and the quest fails, wasting your time and your daily mission.
>>2602033I'm being a filthy phonefag so I can't help whatsoever. try looking for Ninjers in the guild tab shit I guess
>>2602045I didn't see it. Guild might not be high enough level? I see it's sorted by an ascending order so who knows.
>>2602048people should be on in a couple hours if that's the case
>>2602033I can invite if you're still online.
>>2602080I am. I'm Syungsi
>>2602080Said guild was full when I tried to accept. Maybe when more slots open up.
>>2602085Yeah, turns out the guild is full. Sorry about that, I think we'll level up and get more points soon.
>>2602086No worries. Hopefully we'll get more slots. This definitely seems like a play with others kind of game.
We finished a high-reward quest after sneaking through PvP areas.
"Relaxing"
Fighting a mafia boss.
>>2601035kek the clique gets outcliqued
>>2601291Waste dailies? The dailies ARE grinding though. If you grind, you grind, and if you do the dailies, you're still grinding.
I'm honestly surprised no one has made a character based on Yasuke
>>2602197>>2602178Healer unc hard carried us
I have gathered a small band of comrades and, by my command, bound them to the village hidden in the Mist. Now I reap the sacred orbs from the corpses of fallen beasts without end. Step by step, I ascend the ancient ranks of my bloodline. In due time, I shall become leader of the ----- Clan... and seize my seat upon the Council. The old clique will be torn apart and they are none the wiser, the Mist shall be mine at the dawn of the new moon.

Little mistake in this Kinsen building. The teacup is below the table.
>>2602926
>>2601291id say the issue is, the non-grindy dailies open up at level 14+ and since the exp curve is exponential, its probably better to just spend an hour bashing a wolfs' skull in with other lads to get to level 10.not really sure what to do between 10-14 though.
>>2602476the way the guy presented it is that the dailies give you fuckall for exp before 15, so if you wanted to be efficient you grind to 15 before the daily reset to take advantage of the massively boosted exp.
Summary of my village investigation and what they're like:>Leaf: The most active for sure. You'll always find people at the village square and the village chat seems to always be active. You'll find the roleplayers there. They seem helpful and people will be approaching you, sometimes to say random weird stuff, sometimes to ask what you're doing and to help you out. They seem fascinated with new players.>Sand: I have not once encountered another person here, however the village chat seems active.. in another language>Mist: I keep seeing the same people standing in the village square constantly. All wearing 2000s edgy emo outfits, and they'll all mostly be quiet. They completely ignored me and I got to go about my own business with no interruptions. They'll only speak to bring up a discord called "Mistcord" or to as other people around them to spar. Due to their quietness and congregation in one place I assume all the discussion is on discord and not village chat. Their numbers seem to rotate less and its the same people I keep seeing, but it is a much larger amount of people than Sand.>Rogue Nins: They all seem to be members who have played for 10+ years, never grew out of their BYOND phase, and they just sit and seethe about the "current state" of the game. They're so bitter than I wonder why they still play.It seems like Mist is the one behind more of the organized attacks on the other village, Leaf does all the player events, and Sand just doesn't exist in the wider world. Rogue nins seem to be behind newbie targeting and ganking.
>>2603100>Rogue Nins>Outcasts of society who are perpetually angst-ridden about the state of the world and bitterly distrustful of outsidersArt imitates life.Definitely glad we sided with Leaf over Sand. Getting to interact with niche communities of equally niche MMOs and seeing how they react to our presence is part of the fun, and that whole side of things wouldn't be on nearly the same level had we rolled Sand.Mist sounds like it caught the Discord mindvirus as well, so we dodged a bullet there too.
>>2602042That's aids. No wonder the overall community for this game is dead. These jaded vets bullying newplayers for a gig and wonder why retention is so ass. You'd think a small community like this wouldn't act like retarded fags towards newbros.
>>2603100I also want to put out my two cents, info I got from my experience with the Rogue nins (who talk, instead of just ganking you)The biggest clique was once part of the "Neo-Akatsuki", which was a pvper organization with some rp involved, according to the wiki, they even had a storyline going, then they splintered into two organizations, the "Jesters" and "Malice", they take turns as the "owners" of the rogue nin village, Usually decided through organized 1v1s. Jesters seems to be your average PKer that preys on newbabs, while Malice players usually bum around villages waiting for TDMs, 3V3 or other events, some of them appear to have a roleplaying past.So if you see someone rocking Jester "colors", it would be better to avoid them, they will either kill you or grief youDidn't meet any sand nigs yet, Mist chuds seems to be a bunch of uncs, I saw them rping while I was killing some mobsters yesterday.Our "guide anon" seems to have ties with them. Quite surprised he didn't ask us to join them
>>2603200It's sounding like it's mostly just Rogues who are the ones to pick on newer players.Obviously this is just anecdotal, but I've come across at this point dozens of enemy faction players from other villages who are flagged-up for PvP, and they've just ignored me or wave emoji'd at me while passing by. Had conversations with them out in the field, and a medic from Mist even healed me for a few minutes while I was grinding in the mobster house basement in Kinsen, despite both of us having our PvP flags on.Not saying it doesn't happen, but I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of deliberate ganking is due to bored Rogues looking for an ego boost.
>>2603189>>2603100Yeah, rolling leaf was the best choice we made, sand would either be a miserable experience, or we would topple down those filipinos.Leafies are literally the golden retrivers of this game it seems, fuckers will literally appear out of thin air to smooch your character then leave
>>2603216When I stumbled into the Kinsen Quarters last night to purchase the hobo hat they helped me out with the quest. Seemed alright. I have only seen english speaking chat so far as a sandie. There is an overbearing loud sandie that acts as kind of the pvp shotcaller for them it seems. Playing on my leafie right now so couldn't say it's all english 24/7 there. Have encountered helpful people so far from all three villages.
>>2603200>>2603232I think I was there with you, and I agree. Out if all times I got ganked, it was all Rogue nins. Me and the lads took a quest to sneak inside mist hotsprings yesterday, and the mist nins helped us find a more secluded path, the three of us were flagged, and we only got attacked two times due to us taking the trip during the mid of a Village war. Seems the issue is the pvp tards who won't accept the social aspect of the game
>>2603189Yeah I was pleasantly surprised with the community when playing this game due to all the steam reviews slaughtering the community, so I came in with specific expectations. I think thats due to rolling Leaf as they've been very nice, though they can be a little overbearing. I think maybe to make up for the other villages they try to come off as too nice and welcoming and it ends with them following you around, always checking up on you, asking if you need help with everything etc. Still, I'll take it over assholes.
Trying to decide on a mastery, do we have any medical ninja?
>>2603270Quite a few yeah. Seems we got no fire, weapon or sword nins yet
>>2603200>You'd think a small community like this wouldn't act like retarded fags towards newbros.They're in the BYOND mindset still and refuse to get out of it. In their mind they dont need anymore new people because they and their friends have played for 12 years, nobody's gonna leave!They also think that 150 online max isnt pitiful numbers. It is for an MMO, but its not for BYOND.
>>2603216This sounds like the edgiest shit ever. This is shit I'd see on the internet in the 2000s. 13 year old me would have loved all of this.
>>2603275I would have expected fire to be more common, I already made a sand medic so I'll try something else then. Sword or Tools might be fun.
>>2603232>I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of deliberate ganking is due to bored Rogues looking for an ego boost.More like rogues salty that the game is changing and taking it out on "lowbies" who dont know "the culture"
>>2603287Yeah, rogue nins can be edgy af.The one who talked with me belonged to the Jesters, he killed me, told me I was weak, revived me and said I should leave my village and join them to get strong. They are all 30+ fellas who never grew past their edgy phase, which I find funny in a way.
>>2603275we've got at least 1 fire. don't know about the others
>>2603287The sad thing is they're not even 13. They're 20-somethings who never grew out of their 13 year old phase so they pay as a noob PKer with a scythe with BLOOD dripping from it and they're crawling in their skin.
>>2603315Their beloved BYOND game is changing for the better (or worse).They will seethe.They will dilate.They will quit after having wasted the better part of their life playing it.
>>2603315You know, they sound a lot like the average channer, makes you think
>>2603356Comparatively to the average discord and reddit user, anons are a lot more sane.
>>2603270If you want to pick medic just pick medic.Literally impossible to have a surplus of medics in this game. Healing is sparse and every party wants/needs you
>>2603372Only downside to picking medic is wanting/needing every party in turn, since they have no AoE and can't even heal themselves until level 35.Solo medic in earlygame is actual suffering until level 15 when you get chakra scalpels, and then it's still suffering but slightly faster. Find others around your level and try to progress along with them.
>>2603386Unless the physical masteries are somehow good at the early game, elementals seem like they are just as bad early on. My cooldowns are too long to fully depend on ranged attacks...Plus that anon seemed to already want to play a medic, I wouldn't ever recommend playing this game solo anyways
>>2603417Everyone starts out predominantly meleeing things, yeah. Medic actually has an advantage over most other choices between 15-20, thanks to chakra scalpels attack speed bonus outpacing other options in that range.Elemental masteries don't really start coming online until level 20 or so, but do start offering good AoE cooldowns from then on, whereas medic is really just stuck 1v1ing mobs until 30/35. Either way, everyone wants a medic on their team when doing basically anything combat related, since healing through items is expensive as shit, so it's still a very good choice as you mentioned.
Didn't realize you level your jutsu up by using it. There's a daily cap for it too so I guess there's a reason to grind mobs.
That bloodcoastTDM was extremely one sided.
>>2603216>then they splintered into two organizations, the "Jesters" and "Malice", 2edgy4me
Something that annoys me is that you can't tell where an exit or entrance point is in the world. You just have to keep bumping the edge of the screen until you find it.
>>2603749They appear as a line of blue dots on the minimap... sometimes.
>>2603749visual clarity is completely ass in this, yeah
>>2603249>>2603243I can see a lot of potential for this game if they get their act together. I don't hold the clunkiness against them as its obviously not a professional studio but a small team of indie devs who's prior experience before this was probably BYOND and thats it. I think however, in order to increase the amount of people coming in, since a lot of newbies get driven off, they need to make changes to make it newbie friendly even if it may alienate a small, but vocal core that have been there for years. Its not BYOND anymore. On BYOND you went to these games with certain expectations, that it'd be full of BRs, that there'd be edgelords, lots of PvP etc. but this is on Steam now and when people see something called "Nin Online" they expect an MMO and one of professional quality.I think the devs are beholden to a very vocal minority and in turn are alienating a potential majority. Shoving the BRs into a containment server was a good step, and step one, to improving the community but now they have to get rid of the bitter old guard. Once they've got passed that hurdle, as hard as it may be to piss them off, they'll find it beneficial with the new members being able to settle in better, and just a better atmosphere. Basically I feel like there's a lot of acceptance needed that it's not BYOND in 2011 anymore.
>Having to join the discord and voice chat over a Naruto game
>>2604054FUCKING LEAFIESREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>2604054grooming speedrun any%
>>2604027MUDs had the same problem as byond games where they heavily focused on the enfranchised players and never once looked at their new player experience. They always just assume if you're a new player you either already know someone or someone will pick you up and teach you the 1000 things you need to know to actually play the game that the tutorial doesn't even mention. I get that the enfranchised players are the ones giving you money usually but even some very minor QOL updates would go a long way in these games.
You guys all read weirdly deep into some of the games we play. The game has a slightly more active RP component and it has notes of FGC because it's PvP oriented. That's really it.
>>2604303>stop noticing
Bros It happened again, I got fucken BSOD'ED
>>2604327Noticing whatYou guys are out here making all these broad declarative statements about the community being unable to move past such and such or "it's not 2011" and it's clearly all shit you've judt made up in your headWe've all grinded mobs before, killing a hundred wolves to level up is nothing special. Somehow the concept of grinding for fifteen minutes to hit level 10 has spun off into this whole in-depth discussion on like the nature of the community and who makes the money and yadda yadda.
>>2604424yeah, killing thousands of low level garbage mobs is standard in trash mmos where the metric is to stuff you on a treadmill to funnel you into the cash shop. in a game like this, with a 'more active rp component' as you say? what does it add to make it grindy as fuck? and pretending the grind is 'only 15 minutes' just makes you ingenuous as fuck. you know it isnt.
>>2604424>malding faggot hates the thread is right and sperging outIn other news, I hope this 3v3 tourny wraps up soon. I want to finish grinding out beastiary kills and hit lvl 20 to wear the trashcan hat.
>>2604424I don't really care if the game is grindy or not. Kill 1000 wolves quests are no different than picking up 20 different quests that end up being the same thing (though I think if you're going to do a stat reset at level 10 anyway, you should just speed up the process of getting to level 10 or start the game with your choice of jutsu).What I meant by QOL is simple things like 'if you close the tutorial menu, there's not a quick simple way to pull it back up'. The guidebook doesn't even have the tutorial stuff written in it, so when I was doing the tutorial I closed the menu too fast and didn't read the keybind and had to dig through the keybinds to find it instead of being able to just open the tutorial menu again.That's the kinda stuff enfranchised players would never think about or care about, but it's such a minor change that would improve your onboarding process. The MUD in particular I was referring to had a long convoluted intro sequence that let you pick your stats/skills, but it was poorly explained and a lot of new players couldn't even find the place to pick their stats. Other byond games, like Meranthe, have similar problems too. There's no conspiracy, just complaining about design.
>>2603233Yeah I've noticed that. Or they'll say something random to you and run off. It feels like today and yesterday they calmed down but Saturday and Sunday it was constant. They'd run up to me and start jumping, or run up to me and make a heart emote, or say silly things and run, or they'll keep helping me with quests.Now they just leave me be.If I had to guess then I think they were just curious about all the new folk who suddenly appeared and it was a novelty to them.
If you're browsing the thread occasionally Fento as much as I appreciated the 3v3 event for newbs it felt rather rough organization-wise. The TDM and CTF events are cool as the organization for those seem faster and both teams get tickets for participating which is nice. I like that you're trying to give us some fun stuff to do to break up the monotony of the grind and keep things interesting but please on't step on the toes of your vets to do so. The vast majority of them have been really good to us.
Maybe I'm lucky but I've not encountered anyone hostile even in PVP areas, or people trying to ruin the missions I'm on. It's always people who are running by and they'll wave or heart.
1 tick from hat
It's hat time
Mother scarab loot table for those curious.
>>2604651Jules was a treat. How can someone be this based?I really thought he was one of us when he first showed upAnd fento, ya beautiful nigga, I know ya reading this, thanks for trying to make our stay a bit better in the short time we have. If ya want to make something really big, Saturday afternoon will probably be your best window for it, a bunch of anons will show up for the screenshot event and ya can capitalize on that
>>2605207>>2604651Its definitely something they shouldn't stop once we go. Do this regularly, act like this to every newbie, and it'll help a ton IMO because its made things more fun for sure.
I think the Land of Waves (level 20 Arc) might be the single worse quest I have ever seen in an mmo.Why?Quest begins with you killing 60 frogs.Alright you team up with your fellow anons and go to work.Done that? Now bring 30 drops from the frogs.Thats 30 * PartyMember eggs you gotta get. Not bad, they drop very often... But the area is just one map and it's not party instanced. You might be fighting with some other locals for drops.Done that? Now deliver the eggs! The quest giver will COUNT INDIVIDUALLY EACH EGG, you are prompted a dialogue option every few eggs! Pick the wrong choice? HE BEGINS FROM ZERO AGAIN!!!!Eggs delivered? Alright! Find some guy in the casino town, get jewed out of your cash if you don't deny the first offer for the train keys, resume.Now, we enter the Trains. You get in a very small wagon filled with gangsters (pic very much related).See that bald gangster? Not the ones with spears mind you, the only poor fucker that decided not to bring a weapon. Kill 40 of him. Did it? Of course you did! You are in a party silly!Now get fingers. "over" 10% chance of (thankfully) any of the gangsters.Again, thats 40 * PartyMember...Did that? Good! Now get 30 Avulsed Teeth! Whats that? You only got a few? Wonder why?Well...Remember the bald guy? Hes the only source of teeth! And all wagons are mixed with baldies and spears! Have fun!This took so long some of the guys just traded teeth with other players. This was by far the worse of it.Thankfully after that you get to take a break and kill 20 of each spearman, because fuck it we couldnt ask you to do this before, and finally kill 3 bosses
>>2605228On a lighter note, these are the lads I had the pleasure of completing the quest with.Thank you guys again for making this quest a hell of a lot more bearable!
>>2605235P.S this is my final kill count of the baldies (the one we had to farm the most).We were quite the big party (two parties, 6 anons total doing the quest and 1 VERY NICE anon that decided to help us) so the real number is higher since they also killed a lot of em and those prob didn't count for my statistics
>>2605228>>2605235>>2605245Eyyy das me, glad you had some fun anon, wish you were on the newbie tourney earlier, it was definitely more interesting than this whole ordeal with the bandits.I said before and I will say again, if it wasn't for that paid actor who showed up and asked for a red shoe in exchange for 72 units of teeth, I would probably have abandoned the game there, focken banditsPlaying it now, I can sew how miserable the newbie experience can be, and while we met a few decent players in our way, some veterans are trully rotten, like those Mist folks in the frog zone, poaching all our loot and halting our grindHere's a little peak at what happened during the newbie event.https://files.catbox.moe/yenh8c.mp4>>2605225Yeah, it could be just a concidence, or our sudden apperance really make them change their ways for a while.I also noticed that they have a big updated bound to launch.If we took a few weeks and played Nin later, I think the experience would be miles better, due to the fact that they have a MSQ lv 10 in the planshttps://youtu.be/maOT8b1nd50?is=uR1r9rkU-338Gxcb
>>2605056i dont know what any of these drops are though>>2605207i was grindin wolves with jules his first day, a level 40 mist nigga came in and he was screaming at me to kill him when we were level 10 and he was injured from dying
>>2605336below 1% green icon is a fan weapon and the other is a crafting recipeThe rest are just rings and normal drops from mobs.
Can we make an anon vs anon tourney this saturday? Been a while since played a mechanically impressive MMO in a while.The winner can...don't know, get a date with eyelids or something, kek
>>2605391Why are you so horny for him?
>>2605391why eyelids?
>>2605319>Playing it now, I can sew how miserable the newbie experience can be, and while we met a few decent players in our way, some veterans are trully rotten, like those Mist folks in the frog zone, poaching all our loot and halting our grindMy overall thoughts on this game is literally: If I wasn't playing this in a group I'd have quit already. Its not just the gankers too but the first 10 levels are extremely rough and boring.
>>2605391>a mechanically impressive MMOYou're joking
>>2605421at least the first 10 levels can be done in an hour if you know to just fuck everything and go to wolves with a wooden kunaii dont know what the fuck they expect of the next 5 levels since each level requires exponentially more exp, 1st jutsu u get is ass, and the dailies are basically the same as sub level 10
>>2605404>>2605420His dollie looks cute and he doesn't talk much, my kinda of men (female)>>2605427The bar isn't high, but the combat here feels better than most stuff we played anon, you got to accept this.What comes even close? DDON?
>>2605421And to add on, I actually don't think the game is bad, its good once you get to the good parts, I just shouldn't have to wade through boringness to get there. Especially when its easy to get rid of that boring part by making the levelling quicker and the grind lesser.
>>2605440I know they had to pad the jutsus since there's so few of them per maestry, but man, why the scroll crafting has korean tier rates?There's a huge chance you might get bricked and only have a basic bitch jutsu the whole way
>>2605456I'm really surprised they didnt go full korean MMO and add in an "increased scroll chance" on the cash shop
>>2605319>Yeah, it could be just a concidence, or our sudden apperance really make them change their ways for a while.Its definitely not a coincidence since they're organized by a GM who used to do /mmod/ which is why it shouldn't just be because we're here IMO. Keep doing them even after we leave as its also a really good way to get to know people, as it got people chatting with one another too.
>>2605466The cash shop isn't even that predatory, it'a something that surprised me a ton, thought they would be balls deep with it since it'a such a small game. My only complaint is that you need ninja gold to make a guild, but anything else is open to everyone: Housing, crafting, mounts, storylines, events, unique cosmetics, summons. I genuinely been thinking of giving them a token of good faith just for the good vibes, even thought that's retarded, since we won't be here for long
>>2605474Yeah, would have probably never got to met figures like JULES, JOHN NARUTO or that isekai'ed 2pac if it wasn't for those events, they can give us some good bantz
>>2605492Thought the event was cool don't get me wrong, it just took way too long to complete.
>>2605508I blame femto for slipping his spaghetti and picking a map that doesn't allow for multi village teams. If he used the Asogi Village stadium the event would have happened way faster
>>2605420Who would you smooch instead? Gema? Nym? Sheep? Yuji?
>>2605528Sheep for sure
been lurking this thread and this game seems pretty good. infiltration missions and full on wars sound fun
>>2605546Roughest part is probably jumping through the initial first 20 levels as there's a huge lack of content. You could grind it out but it takes a minute if you have no idea what to kill.
>>2605546Forgot to add otherwise besides the lack of quest content available to quickly blitz to 20 it's quite fun.
I'm not having fun, missed out on the start and this game sucks ass solo
>>2605575Need help anon? I could powerlevel you tomorrow
>>2604651>>2605207>>2605319>>2605474obviously anyone here can say "hey guys it's me!" so take what i say with as much salt as you please :^)but yeah, hosting events and tournaments for you lads is fun. i've joined the project a couple of times over the years (PSU and uncharted waters), and i check in on these threads occasionally. you lads are always great to be around. i didn't vote or shill this game (except once in /v/ months ago), but i'm happy the project finally came to a place that means a lot to me. i'm gonna keep doing stuff for lowbies even after the two weeks is up, too, it's one of the only ways i can actually offset nin's unabashed shittiness. still, there's another week and a half left in the wild ride, and i'm sure we'll run into each other again someday after it ends.>>2605486you can get the premium currency ingame, like plat in warframe. people sell them in chests of 1k NC ($10), and they go for about 6k-7k ryo. if you get lucky while grinding and drop a nice weapon or cosmetic (~10k - 100k for most), you can easily cash it out and buy some nice hairstyles for the lads or something. (i made a few of them)
>>2605539Love when sheep goes >:DHe's such a jolly lil guy, playing SWG with him was fun
Why do all the taijutsu skills knock the enemy away? Isn't that completely counterintuitive? You invest all these points into agility so you have a strong melee attack, you don't want them getting away from you. You have a skill that dashes to the opponent then knocks them away from you. What is the point?
>>2606044Their skills are reserved to interrupt opponents jutsus. Your main source of damage are basic attacks. Taijutsu uses Flash flicker, Body flicker, Substitution technique and Speed mirage a lot as a gap closer, and they can also expend stamina as a last resort too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X11orzX_JZg&t=96s
>>2606044Should've picked a better mastery.
>>2605546Its a "Once you wade through the shit it gets fun" kinda game
>>2605575it sucks in a group as well
Are you hidden from pvpers if you're behind a tree?
>>2607025Depends if they go around it, but you can use the terrain to hide yourself, ye. The invisibility jutsu also helps
>>2607025If your healthbar isn't full, it'll be visible even if you're behind a tree.
I wanna smooch all my nin fwens :D
>>2605711I knew you were around! I am glad we been recieving so well by everyone else, both from staffies like you and veterans who welcomed us quite well, I will say that my first days were plain dogshit, but games been getting more entertaining as the day go by, I really appreciate what you been doing. I also can't help it but feel somewhat happy when an anon delivers his passion project, felt the same way when the Wingman anon managed to release his game
>>2607260Honestly I've liked the community, even on day one they were quite welcoming and helped me with missions and stuff like the jumping one. I think we lucked out by choosing Leaf and may not have gotten that response with other villages.I'd call it a good community and that the reviews are wrong. Even when hanging out in other villages they seem fine. It just seems like theres 10 or so edgelord bad eggs who just seethe about newbies all day for some random reason.
>>2607365> I think we lucked out by choosing Leaf and may not have gotten that response with other villages. Likely so, if it wasn't leaf, it probably would be sand, and if doostin experience is anything to go by, it's hella barren, there's barely anyone there at all.Most of the VxV is Mist and Leaf, Rogue nins are bums who don't even bother to capture zones in Takumi
>>2607486Doostin must be this guy right?>>2590834Unironically why throw a fit and go play alone? Whole point of this is to experience the game together and one nigger decides to go alone because we didn't vote for the thing he wanted
>>2605199how do you get this mask?
>>2607660>Join Sand>Deez would drag us into raids>Easier early leveling (1-20) due to ants, worms and beetles>Beetles are a legit method to make money (like tigers but way faster)>Sand has unique quest lines that boost mid and late game levels >Easy access to puppet lab for easy ryo (end game)We could have made Sand work, but the experience would have been very different. Each village have their pros and cons, but I voted Leaf because it would benefit this adventure the most.
>>2607829>>2607660I wouldn't mind playing Sand, being a puppet nigga sounds cool as fuck, but being with the anons is where the fun is.Mist would probably have some clique issues, but Nym is from mist, and she could hook us up with some giga nihas, I met I few at Asoki, the discord clique seems to be just a faction of them, a good chunk seems to just be edgy uncs who spend a huge chunk of their time at Kinsen or AsokiSo yeah, there's a bit for everyone out there, leaf just seemed the safer bet at the time, most anons got adopted by a leaf veteran already, and I found that cute as fuck.
>>2607861I checked them out for an hour or two and its just what others have said about them in the thread. Sand is mostly quiet with not many people around and Mist is quite discord focused.
When we all gonna go missin nin?
>>2607660I think it's good that there are a few people in other factions. It enhances the experience. We're getting a more complete picture, and a few people are having fun with the inter-village shitposting. I always wished we'd done some PvP back in Perpetuum, I really regretted that we didn't.Honestly all the "leaf community is so great uwu" fellatio is getting on my nerves.
>>2607660Not me. I did happen to roll sand with my friend when the /v/ thread first popped up. Would've went leaf if I had read the OP. We rolled sand because it was underpopped. Both of us made leaf alts to play with when our dailies were done.
the dev is a leaf roleplayer and given that clan preferential treatment in every single facet of the gamethats why it has quadruple the population of the other 2 dogshit non dev villages combined
>>2608048>game centered around legally distinct naruto rp>leaf village has the most contentyeah its totally not because every other village is way less fleshed out in the naruto universe, naaaaahh its just bias
>>2608048Mist and Sand have the most unique mechanics, wdym?Sand had puppets, fan weapon and styles, a guardian boss and they can get invisible in certain mapsMist has bubbles, unique swords tied to their unique organization, a more fleshed out hotsprings, a kraken guardian boss, they get two substitution jutsu if your mastery doesn't give it already, clamsLeaf has...Neiji jutsus, and sometimes when you die in pvp, you get revived, also frogs and slugs, I guessBut anon >>2608079 said also makes sense, Leaf has tons of material to work with, specially if we count the fillers, the shinobi blackbook, the games and everything else, it's the most fleshed out part of the world
>>2607829I think if we went with sand more people would have dropped the game in the first few days.
>>2607861I wouldnt mind being Sand for week 2 because the puppets were my fave thing in Naruto.
>>2608039I think the pvp has gotten more interesting since we went intervillage too because before that it was people who knew the game and they'd just gank.
>>2608048Disagree. I think Leaf has the most boring specialities and Sand and Mist 's are more interesting. The reason Leaf is the most popular is because it's the main village in Naruto. Its the one the protagonists live in, and because its a Shonen anime its also the most powerful village with lots of cool things about it, so of course it's naturally gonna be selected more. Take Dragonball Online for a example. You hardly see any humans, because people always choose the Saiyans, because thats who the protagonists mostly are. Yeah you can be a Majin or a Namek too but Saiyans always win out because they're the main thing and everyone wants to be the main thing. In Naruto, Leaf is the main thing. It's like DC Universe Online, everyone's a Kryptonian, because thats who Superman is.Its also the case of people are also gonna go for the most active village. The reason we chose Leaf in the poll was simply being told its the most active village. So its a cycle. Yeah Sand is the least active and won't get more active unless more people join it, but its hard to get that ball rolling when there's nobody to play with except a handful of BRs and Filipinos. Its like servers for any MMO, people always go for the most popular servers. In Online games, people go where the people are because they wanna play with others. So the most active village will always get more people coming in.
>>2608321Me too, those weird niggas always made in awe when they showed up, guess why the sand trio was my favorito from the original series. Shame what they did to Gaara in shipudden
>>2607829Why tigers for money specifically?
>>2608466Vendoring claws, fur, spheres and leather give you a good sum of money. If you get lucky you can get blank scrolls too. Only farm when there is a Drop blessing buff though.
>>2608513Vendoring them to regular merchants?
>>2608586Yeah, you will get roughly 2k per farming session without counting the blank scrolls. Scarabs on sand is better because the mats are needed for lv30+ missions.
>>2607861>she
>>2608601Any tips selling scrolls, where to find goobers looking for them and whatnot?
>>2608702She gave me a handjob in the Takumi slums, so she's a femme to me..
>>2608758The most reliable way is to find a buyer, the current known person is Triskalfen. He runs a little business where he buys blank scrolls for 350-400 ryo and converts them into sealed I, II or III's to make large profits. The other method is by shouting in game through the Aviary or selling it through the discord trade channel.
>>2608994Puzzle Pirates bros we're so back...
I keep seeing this come up a lot, does it not mean bisexual? Because I assumed that but they're using it in strange context.
>>2609070It's battle injuries, they are gonna kill you
>>2609093Ok this makes more sense I unironically thought people were calling each other bisexual
>>2608364>Take Dragonball Online for a example. You hardly see any humans, because people always choose the SaiyansAre you larping here?You can't play as a Saiyan in DBO at all.
>>2608048the only thing that's better is the .01% of autorevive and that you dont have to take that dogshit boat that makes you wait 4 minutes every time you want to enter or leave your village's area
>>2609273HOLY TERTIARYhttps://youtu.be/qksptM8PVAc?is=Ap1w33R6j9RxIIR0Humans can becone saiyans by making a wish. Nameks turn bit and majins become "lean" like kid buu
>>2609343They unlock Super Saiyan, not become Saiyans. The lore is that by Age 1000 Humans have enough Saiyan admixture to make it possible.They are still Human, larper-kun.
this would be maximum cringe kino if it was possible

>>2609938They know who we are at this point right? And not just a bunch of coincidental noobs?
>>2610579Femto might have told them. Although he's just a map artist apparently.But again, this is the first year of the official launch, with a proper store and all, there's a huge expansion patch that is supposed to drop soon, those might be just coincidences, based on the player feedback from steamstore

>>2610970I am a bit out of loop, joined with you guys a few games ago, when you we were visiting Toontown, did something happen?
>>2610975Just the typical thread schizo who can't contain his autism.
>>2610975It's ammo for the shitpost cannon
>>2610975>>2610995>It's ammo for the shitpost cannonIt will only feed the "clique" shitposter. It's best to just remain anonymous, it lets new people come in and mingle.If you want an example of how bad this can get look no further than the /v/scape threads, every few posts are edits of the same few names of oldfags. They have a clan chat (cc) that segregates them completely from the global chat and they de-anonymized themselves via steam group and a mumble.
>>2611017>>2610995>>2610982That's unfortunate, thought this sort of thing would be less of an issue here when you have most anons keeping their names between games or mantaining their quirks consistent, so sometimes I get the feeling we are (more) than anons once in a while. But funposting like>>2610960 seems harmless to me, at least, don't know why anons would get issues over it
>>2611030Think it's more some anons getting left out.
>>2610970I live for this shit.
>>2611030>sometimes I get the feeling we are (more) than anonsthat's a very sweet and very gay sentiment, anon.
>>2611030Changing name every game to obsess over "we are anonymous we are legion" would be silly. The group is super welcoming and I've had a blast since my day 1.Funposting like that is harmless. Anon was just referring to the schizo who stalks these threads for any scrap of information to attempt stirring up retarded drama. He throws a fit about people he never even spoke with once.
>>2611042Mhmm, you have a point, but some anons just don't talk at all, I don't get it why they get so mad over being "left out" when they never reach out or accept our advances>>2611074Yup! Playing with you guys been a lovely experience so far, don't have this much fun with MMOs since my teenager days when I played with my HS guild>>2611093Yeah, I usually avoid "anon guilds" because they often degenerate into the most unbearable cesspoll or schizocords, this is first time ever I do something with an anon, and it's something that I will keep close to my heart til I go to the grave, you guys are amazing
>>2611017It's why I didn't add any names in the akatsuki edit. Learned from BPSR to not add names in unless it's an ingame photo. Even then I try to edit names out.
>>2611030Honestly I wouldn't let it bother you. The schizo is not worth concerning yourself with.Do what you think is funny and have fun with this stupid shit, it's what we're here for.Anyone who gets bent out of shape about some shadowy clique or not being included or whatever is not trying to be included.t. guy who plays mostly solo
We did it! We toured one of the famous narubo story locations and took the iconic photo!
>>2610579They know something's going on at least, maybe not this specifically. I think some suspect Youtubers because some Youtubers try out MMOs and make videos.
>>2610975The only thing I can think of is some anons got muted and were forced to use speedchat because they said no no words. Speedchat is their in game chat system which forces you to use only pre-approved phrases. It ended up pretty funny. Especially on the final day when one of them revealed he was just trolling and didn't need to use speedchat and just started talking normally.
>>2611093I always change my name every mmod but thats because I usually go for something on the theme of the game. e.g. in Toontown I was Chris P. Bacon
>>2611191>Yup! Playing with you guys been a lovely experience so far, don't have this much fun with MMOs since my teenager days when I played with my HS guildI think the biggest problem with MMOs these days is that everyone plays pretty much solo. MMOs are a social experience, they're meant to be played with friends and groups. Any MMO can be fun with the right people. Nowadays you just quest solo and then if you need to do dungeons and raids, you just queue up with the dungeon finder and do the dungeon with a PuG in silence.Dungeon finders unironically ruined MMOs. People say WoW did which is sorta true, but it isn't until WoW implemented a dungeon finder, that you can track the downfall of MMOs.
>>2611330This area is by far one of my favorite zones of tbe game, the early morning theme of this area is amazing, very cozy
>picking berries>notice this guy afk behind a bushW-What is he doing?
>roll mist village>huge layout>low visibility mist for several zones>can hardly see>exiting the mist zone>krakens and sharks patrol the waterNo wonder the mist village shinobi are edgy. They lost all their genin friends along the way. Surprised they manage to raid others without losing half their battle squad to kraken or getting lost in the mist.

>>2612820Beehive status?
>>2610814Think we already did.The RP giga nigas love us.
Buy the robes, anon.
>>2609391He's growing in power...
>>2610960Fuck off retard.
>>2613021The anons who don't have the robes (with or without hoodie) will be kicked from the group.
Every game this project gets one step closer to becoming a /vg/ cesspit
>>2613094Why? Too many avafags?
>>2613094Reminds me more of the /v/ Peak threads kek
>>2613094While I am not a fan of us involving actual devs and staff into this, most anons seems to be having fun, I don't get it, what's the issue? The only salty fuckers are the schizos and the riggers
>>2613113>I don't get it, what's the issue?browse any general in /vg/ I dare you
>>2613140Avafags? Ritualposters? Slopa posting? coomer posting?I am not seeing any of it anon, I really don't get it
>>2612987Status: Hived.
>>2613158You kidding me? We get all of that in the /mmod/ thread already besides sloppa
>>2613181Thought they would give you a funni hat at least. The 1 ryo drop is demonic.
>>2613196Check the current thread and point me ONE case of it.

>>2613290Looking good!
>>2613290makes you look fat
>>2613113>>2613158>>2613204You're arguing with a retarded schizo who had his ego crushed and has since sworn revenge on the project. He's not trying to make any point, he's just mindbroken.
>>2613396you need to kill yourself immediately assgr
>>2613396Well, it's on me that I fell this hard for a bait this obvious, think I need to up my game a bit
>>2613431I'd up your game, if you know what I mean
>>2613431you actually bit the bait of assgr the resident snake that plays nice in game then shits all over the thread accusing others of being the schizo that he is
I really hope we get to level cap within these remaining days, the pvp in this game is actually super fun! Shame I ain't doing much except tank a few hits or at worst, dragging some poor fucker down in a very one sided 2v2More I play and learn about the guilds and game lore the more I feel like a chuuni teen again, lots of drama and names pop up, super fun stuff to learn!Glad I stuck with it, early levels were hell but you guys made the ride fun and bearable
This would be fun to play seasonally. Like with a server reset, everyone restarts from level 1. You'd really get people fighting over the important locations, it'd be really interesting.
>>2613875Perhaps but it really feels like an RPPVP server from classic WoW.
>>2613875>even more ninjas stacked into the fuckin trainsalso i still dont even know the point of capturing locations is
>>2614032it increases drop rates for that respective zone, maybe some give exp? idk.
kek
Is there going to be more space added to the clan?
>>2614171we should have more spots soon
john uchiha spotted
>>2614083talked to some ancient playersthe tiles in addition to the mission economy/manpower/intel "to make a long story short, do nothing"leaf is NA/EU and is apparently less faggoty than the others because of the new player surge replacing the old guardsand is BRand according to new developmentsmist is full of turks whose brains are not capable of understanding RP and are prone to doxxing eachother.
>>2613795I am glad ya stuck with us bro, I enjoy your presence a lot, you really makes the guild chat lively.There is some world bosses I would like to do with everyone, hope we can reach lv 40 before the game ends, so we can at least tackle them
damn i cant believe i found eyelids collaborating with mistnigs again
>>2614244Yeah, that mostly tracks, the leaf rp fag said something similar.Most of the current rogue nin players are former mist players, you can notice it by their headbands, seems something happened and the old guard got purged, a few of them fled to Leaf.Game used to be rp heavy, but people started to bitch about it, and it died down, it's the reason they don't do chunin exams anymore, the pvpers got annoyed that GMs would lock down zones or create instanced spaces for newfags and rp fags to mingle, and thus, the game moved away from the community driven rp
>>2614324Oh, I know her, she's apparently doing some sort of hostage rp currently, saw a GM turning her into mist in the leaf gates and a few bubble niggas escorting her out
How I feel doing Arc 20 right now
>>2614584arc 20 was devilish, anons carried me hard on that one
>>2614381>Diehard PvPfags perpetually mad that the game they play isn't bending over backwards to court them and them aloneLiterally every single MMO to feature PvP as a side activity, I swear to Hokage.Did come across someone a few nights ago in Leaf who said they'd be willing to host RP Missions, at least, so progression-based RP might not be entirely off the table if you find the right people.
Oh cool I've been meaning to play this. Are there still guild slots?
>>2614790It's over...
>>2614790We can increase it in a couple of few hours, we just need anons to get some xp to increase our guild level
>>2614629I feel our presence might have improved the game for the better. Suppose the fact that we haven't dropped yet have shown to the devs that they can find a market outside the jaded pvp fags. Noticed that the PVP military police is a lot more active these past three days, saw a few jesters and sand players being targeted for punishing expeditions, raiding parties been ignoring me for a while, and people my level rarely start pvping with me. Seems there is people trying to make a change, and we might have pushed them to act.Although, the overall experience might vary, I play Leaf and I tried to chat with most players that came my way, so there's that
>>2614381>Game used to be rp heavy, but people started to bitch about it, and it died down, it's the reason they don't do chunin exams anymore, the pvpers got annoyed that GMs would lock down zones or create instanced spaces for newfags and rp fags to mingleWhat? Chuunin Exams are kino! Who cares what a bunch of 10 edgelords who haven't grown out of the late 2000s and can't accept that its not a BYOND game anymore think? Seriously devs, stop catering to these tiny people instead of the majority.
>>2614930I do think that they're suspecting something is up with us. 10 - 15 people all joining at the same time and all joining the same guild.
>>2614992They already know, the leaf big names probably browsed this thread already
Okay but is the leveling really just grindy old mmo punch things for 5 hours to level up once
>>2615008It gets better when less fucked dailies start to show up >Sneak into x place>Patrol x areas>Kill a player>Keep x zone under controlBut the brunt of the game is indeed fuckey, still don't know why they nerfed the fishing mony, while giving tigers and snakes trash drops
Anyone up for arc 30 today? Just need to grind a but of xp after coming from work
>>2614930It seems like part of the RP charm of protecting the young newb genin as they go out in the world. Feels very naruto universe where older shinobi die fighting to protect the young nin nin. It's appreciated that they are going out of their way to help us but I don't think it gets much deeper than that. I think our spiking the game brought some actual renewed interest from outside of mmod in as well.
>>2615476>That moment when Senko dies 1v6 a bunch of jester niggas, entrusting the leaf hope to us ninjersMy knees...they are moving on their own..
>>2615234Couple of things about arc 30, so you don't end up ragequitting it:Remember charge jump exists.Also field bosses have a very high chance of dropping their species trash item, even without drop rate blessings running. Always kill them when they spawn if your team can handle it.It's grindy as fuck, much like arc 20. Don't burn yourself out doing it in one day if you don't feel like it.
>>2614381>>2614629>>2614983parts of this are correct, but there's more to it as well. the last chuunin exams to be held were in january, and officially they're "being replaced by an automated system" which has no announcement, release date, or known details yet.what happened in january was that a bunch of new players in sand village teamed up during the forest of death phase (desert of death, in sand village) in what should have been a huge FFA of 20+ teams of three. instead they banded together as a group of 9 and specifically hunted down the older vet players in the event, while ignoring or sparing the new players. this is normally forbidden, but the kazekage hosting the event forgot to say "no teamimg during the event" so it technically wasn't against the rules.dozens of players hated this and basically all of the sand vets went rogue overnight. half the GM team crashed out and either quit or went on hiatus, while the other half thought it was based as fuck.the sand newbies went on to completely purge all older players from the chuunin exams in that one stage, and had the rest of the tournament all to themselves. most of them got promoted. the first place winner of the final 1v1 stage is the current kazekage (sauceii).you can watch this whole saga on youtube, although i'm not going to link the video here. the player who organized this uprising is named "criminal man" and his video is named "how crime gang stole the sand CEs" or something like that.
>>2616106Bitter vets eternally btfo'd
>>2616106this is fantastic, and exactly in the spirit of the chuunin exams from the show. only a worthless fucking loser would get upset at this.
>>2616106Based as fuck, I think that's why some "newbies" hold the current Kazekage in such high regard, even though he's mostly a mystery nigga that barely shows up.Femto, if you are reading this, don't let this spirit end, the fire must not die out, the rpGAWDS need to be uplifted and the chunnin and jounin exams shouldn't be automated pvp hunting grounds where oldfags prey on the newbabs.
>Day 8: they still haven't noticed me
On one hand I really like the RP aspect of this game, its really cool but on the other hand it sucks as when it comes to Mist you are essentially FORCED to join the discord to get any interaction with other players (which I refuse to do). If the developer of the game ever reads this thread PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not rely on discords heavily for anything in game related, make an in game alternative to that stuff.Discords are not only a grooming grounds for creepy weirdos, create a way for cliques to be even worse than they currently already are but they are also filled with duplicitous people who will use them for the worst intentions and on top of all of that with the world becoming more and more regulated by governments you are cutting out players from interacting with others and engaging with the systems present within the game due to this. Eitherway this is a really cool game and I am hooked enough to keep playing it.
>>2616106> instead they banded together as a group of 9 and specifically hunted down the older vet players in the event, while ignoring or sparing the new players.Well you know why this happened. Good old fashioned sweet revenge>dozens of players hated this and basically all of the sand vets went rogue overnight. half the GM team crashed out and either quit or went on hiatusD'awww do the poor wittle vets not wike it when the same thing happens to them? If they think it sucks, sucks enough to quit, why do it to newbies every single day?
>>2617117Honestly this is mostly the players fault than the devs. I hate shit like this though, most MMOs nowadays have dead dead guild chats because those niggers insist on doing everything on their groomcords
>>2616106See this is a community problem 100% I think this is hilarious and a really fun community moment. You can't win all the time. Don't appeal to these piss babies.
>>2616106Sand is based but why are there no sand jutsus? Gaara is my favorite character and I am utterly disappointed. No paper jutsus either. Or clay.
>>2617686I was gonna say because its based on a tailed beast and only Gaara had it but then I realized that this is NotNaruto, their OC world, so they could just add Sand Jutsu if they want.
>>2617491
>>2617735>>2617686it's not like there are that many skills anyway. I think they'll eventually add a sand jutstu to earth mastery
>>2616440>>2617117>Femto, if you are reading this>If the developer of the game ever reads this threadCan you fucking stop?
>>2617973Kill yourself gay nigger
>>2618008tab back in, you're being rude
>>2617735Nyo, Sand is an actual jutsu outside the tailed beast, it's tied to the Kazekage lineage and there's a few variants of it like "Iron sand". The current team is more or less "new", been only one year since the game dropped all licensed assets and went live as a biznez instead of a fan gamehttps://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Iron_Sand
I was having issues with a merchant escort because mist bandits were setting up ambushes on the road to Asogi Port.A bunch of leaf mystery niggas showed up and escorted me from the front gate to the destination, and then dipped into the shadows instantly after. Wish I managed to record it but Nvidia instant replay disabled itself for some reason
>>2614899How long will it take to level again?
I've noticed a change through the week in that a lot of the players were really curious about me and following me around and asking questions and now not so much. I guess lots of people joining at once made them curious.But now I've also noticed a lot of the gankers leave me alone now. Is it le evil 4chan boogeyman or something?
weapon master (str) advanced mastery
>>2618723Someone hasn't logged on or done anything since day 1 so we're gonna remove them. Apply to the guild when you can.
>>2618925anvil....
>>2618957Nah, it was probably a rando that wasn't part of the thread. They didn't spoke or anything, and logged out within 5hours of playing.
>>2618750Pretty certain they’ll still gank us occasionally but they probably know we legitimate new players as opposed to alts of vets so they let us do w/e unless we start stepping on toes during our stay
>>2618776Seems a bit scuffed
>>2618750We have a lot of fans. Allegedly, many of our characters resemble well known people of the community.
>>2619387There's really not that many character customization options without paying money, so makes sense we would end up looking like other people.
Need that guy in our crew, NAW!
>>2619387The real nin online is the friends we made along the way
>try to level faster>
Some very nice veterans decided to make a FUCKING PVP LESSON for all newbies!Lessons took place on the arena where they first taught us some tips and tricks like the importance of cancelling channeling skills (Like healer self heal) or how to escape from Water/Stone prison with Flicker (Sub will take you out of the prison but you will remain "rooted")
After some quite impressive substitute punish us newbies got a chance to spar, first 1v1s then team battles!Actually got to fight a bit while the hokage and other high ranks rped a bit in the back saying stuff like "The new ninja have great potential".Loads of fun!
Bonus: This amazing pic of face posing
what is this
I got to Level 32 and the scroll grind is such a pain, not only do scrolls have a 1% drop from rare mobs and a "below 1%" from none rares but on top of all of that Level 3 scrolls for any jutsu 30 or above has a 10% chance of being crafted.Does this get better at all with higher fuinjutsu levels or am I giga fucked?
>>2620141It gets better yeah, if you see someone with a scribe title, they have high tier fuinjutsu and it will increase their chances, some leaf giga niggas do the scroll gacha for free if you ask themYou can also buy T3 scrolls from the shops, saw some selling them around 3000ish ryos
Can ninja from different villages trade each other? I have acquired numerous silver and gold bars but no idea what to do with them or where to sell. Sand Village feels dead for selling anything more than quest turn in items.
>>2620141>tfw the jokage crafted me a t3 today at the arenahe's got my vote.
>>2620141Every grind you overcome is met with a brand new grind.
>99% of gamblers quit before they make it bigmomma didn't raise a quitter
>>2620171You can, the usual spot is arc 20 entrance, since that area is a no pvp zone
>>2620171someone in the guild was apparently having dark dealings with the criminal ninjas
>>2614177Onegai...
>>2620363Still want in, nonny?
>Shady fishdealer>gives you quest to acquire 6 of the listed items on the side>sells fishing pole (stick with string on it for 2k)>has you fish for rng items>possibility of rejecting one of the research itemsThis son of a bitch is worse than Madara Uchiha. Send the Anbu Jobber Ops.
After making a mist alt, I gotta say, what a shit village.>far as fuck from EVERYTHING>need to take the 4-minute boat or walk on several empty maps to get off the gay island>the gay island is depressing as fuck both in terms of color and music>has barely any rocks/treesI genuinely am curious how it's more popular than sand. The world map needs a major rework.
>>2620782It's popular because it used to be the big pvp meta and the edgy vibes.Think the brazillians might have shooed everyone away too
>>2620782All I have to say is the sand village has been by far the easiest one to collect trash in. It probably has the best layout to navigate as well. >hidden leafhave to navigate two bridges and a metric fuckton of fencing>hidden misthave to navigate dark map, more enclosed locations, more fencing and hills than leafThat being said. Mist and Sand look really good despite the lack of lore information on buildings and such.
>>2620827>Lore on buildingsFeel me up, ya got me curious
>>2620827It looks good when you're visiting/infiltrating. When you're hanging out there it makes you want to shoot yourself.
>>2620838As far as Narutoverse goes:>LeafA lot of love and detail in-game simply because it's the main village of the franchise. It has the graveyard, arena, iconic kekage room, and mountain behind it.>mist There's only a few dozen episodes of the mist village and most of it is on a bridge or in the forests of the mist village. It only shows most of the town on a river and the mist village in game actually gets this right as best it can with the engine it's on. Other than that we never see what their admin center or trade hub looks like.>Sand villageWe only ever see the wall and the above buildings and the admin building in the series. The episodes we see them it's just very fast glimpses.
>>2620854meant to reply to >>2620836
>>2620838Why so?>>2620854I see, I see, thought Mist village was the same village Pain ruled over, but then I saw the in game version of it and they look nothing alike
>>2620862thats rain
>>2620862Everything, it's dark, it's gloomy, it has the worst village layout and people end up fighting in what're basically the village's streets because there's not a good plaza. One of the songs that plays in the village is even called something like "melancholic".There's no RP, only people talking about how they got off their 3 AM walmart shift. I wanted to make a main here after the adventure is over, but now idk what I'm going to do.
>>2620782I found a post on the forums where they're talking about it and it literally takes Mist 5 minutes longer to get to the Snake room than the other two villages. That's an extremely valuable location directly in the middle of the map. There's nothing at all near Mist. The closest village is Takumi.The "upside", I guess, is that you rarely get bothered when you're farming in the areas near the Mist village, but none of those areas are particularly valuable. Ants are okay but that's about it.
does the game have mechanics that help with the rp, or is it mainly just actions through text
>>2620938God even looking at the map, there's only 2 maps fewer for Mist to get to Takami compared to the other villages and since you have to take the ocean path, it would probably still take just as long. Probably is safer though, partially depending on that Mist ninjas lose the ability to water walk with no chakra drain when they go rogue. >>2620976There's a ridiculous amount of RP mechanics, including getting to elect the hokage and RP organizations like the seven swordsmen of the mist and the anbu seen here >>2618442and >>2620024 who were guarding the hokage during the training session.Seems leaf is the RP village though.
Let's take some Ninjer group photos at 9:15 pm UTC, Saturday.>Time Zone Converter: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Nin+Online+-+Group+Photos&iso=20260620T2115&p1=1440
>>2621114Shall we come with any particular outfit? The event prize robes?(was it "Dark Robe"?)
>>2620815ah yes, memes. love to see it.
>>2620976>>2621005To add on that, ninjas that have RP ranks (Chunin, Jounin, Tokubetsu Jounin and Hokages) can give you rp tokens you can exchange for XP.Back when there were more Chunnins and Jounins around, you could grind the game by rping, but guess the sand nigs abused that too much and they stopped doing exames entirely.It's a reason you only see genins nowadays, only peps that have ranks is the hokage inner circle now
>>2622117>cant rank up>everything is for discord cliquesSeems worse than Foxhole
>>2622117speaking of, it's hard to imagine any chunin exams not being shit at this point.there must be an enormous backlog of level 60s including alts
>>2622137>Foxholedamn I loved that game. had a lot of fun with fellow /v/ermins
>>2622117So RP ranks aren't even skill based. it's clique based. Unless you're in the inner circle of the l337 pvp gigasweat clique you won't advance beyond genin. You just know they're having a hard time figuring out how to redo CE event after Criminal Man btfo'd the retarded sweaty vets because now those same sweaty vets would try to employ that same strategy, gatekeeping the game even further. At least Voice Chat might potentially be in the works so randoms and anons can organize without needing to be in a discord/teamspeak/ventrillo/etc.>>2622169If they bring it back they should make entry into the event activity based. Has genin done dailies for x amount of time? If so then they can get in. Will be a pain if a bunch of bitter vets who don't even log in just suddenly log to stomp out CE.
What are these stars, also this quest is ridiculous. Have caught 7 flounders so far and the dude rejected them.
Flagged for botting while doing this fishing quest.
>>2622894what's the ninja challenge? a captcha?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>2623366Damn, the fishing quest was bait all along...
>>2623128>>2609601
>>2623128>>2623500Captcha I had was select the word with the largest sized lettering.
Every piece of progress on this game has to do with being friends with someone on discord
>>2621423Would be nice! Been a while since we did a public gathering in the same outfit>>2624012Wdym? We been doing alright, and no discordfaggotry was done
Do anyone have a house at leaf's already? Maybe we could stage some pics there
>>2624081We're not really progressing as we are just being toured.
>>2624438Proof? I have a house, thousands of ryo on my bank, trade deals with two villages and got to develop some friendly rivalry with a few nins
>>2624471And you're still a genin as you can't make chuunin.
Hell yeah!
>Only game where picture day has been a struggle
>>2625171Perpetuum had a lot of picture day struggles but not because of the open world PVP.
Wafflehouse
And thats all
Gonna throw a wild idea out there: Community pic next Saturday? Not just us but lets just gather a bunch of people? We'll see what happens kek.
Int med advance

Thanks to all anons who showed up today! Despite the game flaws, I ended up enjoying my time here, to me, the experiences tied to the game, the sense of community and the jolly bants to be had, ranks the experience miles better than just playing a tight game with a barren server and barely any anonxanon action going.I hope to see you all in the following week. I want to explore and feel a bit more of this game, perhaps tackle the housing mechanics more deeply and involve myself a tad more in the raids and grimer parts of the map, hopefully, with the aid of ya lovely lads!Below are a few vids I took from our voyage, hope you all enjoy it!If there's enough interest, I might make a compilation and post it on bitchute to archive it properly, but I want the consent of you guys to do so. If possible, I also plan to do the same for the following gaemoshttps://files.catbox.moe/cn75zv.mp4https://files.catbox.moe/1mg8ub.mp4https://files.catbox.moe/32q4hj.mp4https://files.catbox.moe/l7o0d1.mp4https://files.catbox.moe/d9yhad.mp4 << Extreme edgykinoFor the anons who are dipping after today, thanks again! Hope we can see ourselves in the next game and have lots and lots of jolly moments together!>>2625863Hell yeah!
>>2625977HOLY FUCKING KINO EDIT
>>2625986>>2625977>Best part of the music started when our ninjer was 1v2 those bozosI kneel
>>2625357Should we? While that might be fun, I think it will go against the spirit of /mmod/. Would be down to it though.
>>2625977>those jukesI kneel
>>2626016If it goes against the spirit of /mmod/ then no.
>>2625977Why do you type like this?>ESLOh I see.
>>2625357I am down. Who should we talk to though? The hokage? that rp nigga?
>>2626103>A nigger calls another nigger, a nigger.Hate you all
>>2626118It's just the schizo crashing out
>>2626129are you?
>>2626259Gz!
getting into the vidya kinda late. can a kind ninja give me the rundown on the best/fastest way to get through the early slog?
>>2626323Starting out:>follow the tutorial it should carry you to nearly level 10The locals in game are pretty helpful so if you don't know what to do ask for help. If you're rolling sand around this time you're pretty m uch fucked as far as help goes. Mist is active right now and for sure leaf is active.
>>2626323all into agility since your stats reset at level 10do dailies when you need em unless you're going to grind wolves for 4 hours to get to level 15 in one dayparty bonus and make sure you turn in quests only when theres the 1.5x exp bonus in the corner
>>2626323Pump all into Agi, start taking dailies at level 10, do the quests, get the wooden kunai.Remeber to use food and collect berries for passive healing, save to pills when you are in a pinchSubstitution jutsu helps a lot to soak a hit and save you HPI also recommend avoiding masteries like Weapon Master (Tool), Taijutsu and Medicine, since they are a bitch to level up
>>2626259Based stoner
>>2620815Dude the people in this guild are so lame and corny.They are only good at killing lowbies whilst being level 60, seen them raid leaf a few minutes ago, all akatsuki and it was nothing but them getting their ass kicked even while they had rings that give them +25 stats.They even raided Mist yesterday and went on about "WE ARE THE BEST GUILD ON THE SERVER, JESTER ON TOP" yet they only raided the village whilst all the 60's were at an event.Are rogue nins literally all just butthurt ex byonders who destroyed their headband out of basedrage over noobies? If so that sucks as they were the coolest part of Naruto.
>>2626489Don't ponder too deeply on them and their existence. Can guarantee it's not worth it and it's fuel for them if they see it. This keeps getting brought back up almost on a loop as if there is not much in this game to talk about and it's somewhat boring to discuss. Do what content there is, explore, try to find something to do or play new game until next daily refresh and anons get on to run content, just please let's ignore their existence for the remainder of our stay here.
i will kill all the kages
>>2626520at last the world will know... pain...
>>2626511>tfw fed/pissed them off enough for them to start specifically targeting me and the other ninjer onlineoops
>>2626489>>2626511>>2626541while they are gay, its still cool that this game even has an antagonist faction. makes the world feel more alive
>>2626546I would prefer if they werent so cringy, puts a dis-service on the akatsuki.
>>2626546>>2626559>>2626511>>2626489As explained earlier, the issue is that most of the decent pvpers or rpgawds, got BTFO'ed by the staff, banned or got pardoned and rejoined as proper nin (A hokage can pardon rogue nins and bring them back). The Neo-Akatsuki in their currently iteration (Jesters) is a joke, a shell of what once was. The group used to be all about giga niggas dissatisfied with the current administration of their guilds banding up and doing fucked shit, read about Taka in the fandom and ask the veterans, like Sanku, they used to be a holla lot differentBtw, since the Jesters are the apointed menance of the game (after winning control of Takumi over Malice), they get GM-only bling to make them strong, but since they suck balls, they never raid villages, and since they are dumb fucks, they don't partake in anything that isn't plundering newbies and pvping, and since they are seething sweatlords, they don't rpThe Jesters are only alive because the GM wants them to be a thing. Otherwise Takumi would be partitioned into two by Leaf and Mist (Do check it out, there were talks about it).If our time wasn't so short, and our skill lacking, I would suggest to have a go at them, and try griefing their village a bit, but our power difference is too high
>Tfw Akatsuki somehow have more jobbers than the Anbu
>>2626596>>if our time wasn't so short, and our skill lacking, I would suggest to have a go at them, and try griefing their village a bit, but our power difference is too highIt's time to form a group that'll stay behind and do what needs to be done.
>>2626596>heres a long breakdown of information about some bullshit from this dead game>btw im one of you guysTiresome
>>2626625>it's time toNo. As moderately entertaining as the loreslop players of this game have made is none of it beyond this next final week is actually interesting. If I did remain to play it would be to:>finish life skill grind for forging, fishing, cooking, etc>own a house, furnish it, stack storage in it>farm bis wind sneedery weapon>farm enough blank scrolls to gacha roll for summoning scroll>acquire mount>hit 60 >go to broadcasting station>broadcast 'total nin(gg)jer death'>log off permanently and jump into the next wildride mmod is getting into or return to Vintage StoryThis anon >>2626636Is right. It's tiresome. It's been the same slop on repeat the past few days about jester this, mist that, leaf here, sand below. Take a break, go outside, play another game, smoke a cig, self-reflect.
>Thread about <game>, tired that people are talking about <game>, your baits aren't even entertaining anymore, I won't even read it at this point.>>2626625We probably won't have the manpower to do so, and it will require some guild politics to back up our claim, not worth the effort.We could still try raiding Takumi in our final day though, would be funny
>rp and politics game>nigger complain that anon talk about politicsRetard, the leaf niggas were literally raiding a mist rp event, bad blood and group dynamics is the core of this game
>>2626673There's arc 40 and 50 to look for, they can be interesting, at least for completion sake.I don't think the summoning gacha is worth it, you buy them from 13k/14 usually in certain shops or if you order it from a scribe, mining ores and fighting bears and snakes might give you enough dough to do so
for those who come after
admittedly, while i really do like the game and will consider staying, the devs priorities seem kind of ass.>no chunin exams>world map design needs a rework>gameplay loop is generally awful>arcs are especially bad with the grindand whats this HUGE update coming next week?>a higher level cap so the difference between new/old players will be even larger>another arc for the new level cap so they can get there faster>more jutsus for level-maxx'd playerslike great, those 2-piece combos that did 80-100% damage to any player below level 40 will now do 100-150% and these "vets" can faceroll even harder.
>>2626707>fresh newplayer onboarding overhauled>map redesigns>new lvl 10 arc not long after 60 release probably>potential in-game vc in the makingDevs are doing alright despite their lack of manpower. At one point they had more but from lore dump they seem to be operating at half strength. Level gap is a nothing burger that can be bridged in a few weeks. It's like complaining that a level 60 player in WoW will get to 70 in outlands release. Just level up, literally just level up.
>>2626734where is this information? and god i fucking hate arcs
>>2626734shill go home, your discord is calling you
>>2626842Not a shill you retarded faggot. Sorry I'm not a jaded soulless husk of a kike like you and give some people credit where credit is due.
>>2626740Steam, literally steam updates show a video tease and some information, people sat that 40 and 50 are better, and they are "newer content" with a better design philosophy, so perhaps they are a bit better>>2626842All this information can be foune at steam
>>2626740Lv40 arc is the best one in game. It's just a string of assassination missions where you raid a village to take down several bosses. The bosses are difficult to solo properly, and they were placed on red maps which makes you vulnerable to rival villages. No one bothers with arc50 because it can't be soloed.
>>2626734>At one point they had more but from lore dump they seem to be operating at half strengthunsurprisingly so: the game does not exactly have a lot of players.even if they sell you 16x16 sprites for 10$ I doubt they can afford a huge team.
>>2626259now do 3x 777 to get 1k ryo.and did you already do the "/roll 1000" one?
>>2624471Would you have gotten all that solo?
>>2626489>Are rogue nins literally all just butthurt ex byonders who destroyed their headband out of basedrage over noobies?Yes a bunch of them pulled a tantrum and left the game a few weeks ago because they didnt get their way.
>>2626625Nah. Game isn't interesting enough for me to stay around. They're just generic edgelords from 2007.
>>2626684>bad blood and group dynamics is the core of this gameWhich is why its a bad game because it has nothing beyond this. You can have features beyond the core. And even then the bad blood and group dynamics thing is also bad as people have to make shit up or grief low levels because they're so bored.
>>2626707The priority is trying to not get a small circle of 10 - 20 jaded people who've been playing for 10 years since the BYOND days to leave for some reason. Even though genuinely the more of them that leave, the better the game becomes. Then once they're gone, they can actually focus on improving the game rather than having to do shit that appeals just to them.
>>2627223it really is the epitome of Byond cliquefaggery
>>2627232Its a bunch of bored people trying to fill an empty space really because there's nothing else to do>"I'm bored what do you wanna do?">"IDK gank low levels I guess"
>>2627723>fishkagedevs think everything is a fucking joke
Lurker here, reading this thread has been delightful! its like anons having roleplay adventure and its so entertaining! just like in the old MMO era
>>2628085We have a bunch of threads if you wanna check them out. Or check out the gallery of the website: https://mmodventure.neocities.org/gallery
>>2628085Glad you had fun anon! Hope you join us in our next gaemos
>>2628018Devs are /vg/ anons, what did you expect?
>>2626734>map redesignsYeah, shit like the saunas and shops, which is nice but doesn't fix the mechanical issues with the world map.Also god vc in this game sounds incredibly unpleasant.
https://www.bitchute.com/video/MRHk9DIkhJSyFuck this arc man, our guide anon told it wouldn't be this bad..I almost miss the teeth grind
Did it bros... the next quest is even worse. Grind continues after I take a break and watch some detective conan while sipping coffee. Also, received 6 automated messages forcing me to do puzzles to prove I wasn't a bot.
>>2628943Did you do the whole quest chain in Asogi port?
>>2628757The feather grind can go fuck itselfAm I unironically the only one that likes boss fights? :V
>>2628606>Also god vc in this game sounds incredibly unpleasant.Its a bunch of teenagers and ESLs. Its mostly Mist who do that so be glad you chose Leaf.
>>2628606Also the fact that not every location on the map has those blue dots to signify that this is where you'll get taken to the next location, so you gotta bash your character against the edge of the map like a retard until you finally find the spot that takes you to the next location.
>>2628215I will give it a look sometime>>2628299We will see!
Earth advance
>>2628955Basic III now. It’s worse but I’m learning it’s better to stack one of the fish before turning it in.
applied to ninjers but how does that work if im in mist? saw you guys running to ransack my mudhut so im a bit confused about the pvp here
>>2630166Try applying again
>>2630166You can join just fine, you just can't party up with us
>>2629199Boss fights are alright, but I wish this fucker wasn't so tanky, that I could bring my fellow nin nin with me and that he wasn't in a water arena.
Int weapon master advance
>>2630284Are these for if you aren't a hybrid?
I have this weird conclusion with the game where I like the game but I can't say its a good game.
>>2630319It benefits all builds. You select one of your masteries to advance on and you will gain a powerful jutsu. So far:Cha Med - AoE healingInt Med - An improved poison scalpel that cloaks youInt Weapon master - Your basic attacks turns into shurikens with a higher attack scaling and doesn't use tools Str Weapon master - 10 hit 360 degree AoE comboEarth - Gaaras binding coffin. It works like water prison but it pulls them over to you Water - Summon a giant wave that continuously knocks backLightning - Not a lot of information about this one but it looks like a body flicker
>>2630344For me it's the opposite. The game is good but I don't like it.
>>2630542Why so? I can understand people not thinking it's good and enjoying the ride due to the mmomers around, but why do you think the game is good?Found the pvp interesting, but at the same time, janky as fuck
I mostly think they need to flatten out the difference between low and high level ninja. If they front-loaded the stat points more, and maybe increased base HP, it'd make a huge difference. You basically can't get enough HP to avoid a combo oneshotting you until the late 20s, it's pretty awful. If you've got your first mastery you should at least be able to exchange blows with a level 60 without instantly dissolving.
post
Think ganking is funny because its avoidable as pvp isn't really forced so seeing someone seethe about it is amusing. What's even funnier is how big of an ego these favela monkeys have for ganking in a low pop game.
>>2631067At this point we should totally ignore those asshats, seems they really want some validation
>>2631067>>2631494We should all just go Lightning or Water as 2nd Mastery and Chidori + Water prison spam them to death. Then spawn camp their Hospital or revive + 1hit them back to back until they logout for the night.
>>2631515Would be based. Even more so if we catch them while they wear the akatsuki rings, an anon said they drop on death, so we could snag them, leave, stash somewhere else and refuse to give them back, lmao.
>>2631515>>2631763The way you win is by not engaging with them. If you do get ganked just release and continue on as if nothing happened like a true gamer. Revenge plotting in vidya game is gay. In other news I need more inventory space aaaaaaaaaa
just like my japanese animes....
If they do harass any of us for the remainder of our time here while we're not flagged for pvp ie body blocking, unintended game mechanics to grief there's always this: https://www.ninonline.com/forum/rules/ and use the 'contact us' at bottom of page to attach images of griefing. They've already been banned. Reportjutsu is the ultimate jutsu.
>>2631973Warned* not banned.
>>2627122yes
>>2631967Why are you hording so many bars?
>>2631985He removed his eye to get the gambling right...
>>2631990Habit from playing so many mmos. More efficient to blitz out levels gathering large sums of an item than it is to do it in 1s and 2s here and there. Especially for this game since the success rate for actual crafting is so ass. This for instance is 1% success rate if attempted. Blacksmithing throwables is 50%.
Another few days of fishing and doing ore runs through out the world I should be able to getting the giga house and furnish it with just iron boxes. Am going to go out on a limb and guess the success rate is just as bad for the boxes so having an excess of ore/bars is good.Only need to hit a few success rolls on the crafting to free up inventory.
The furnishing out a house in this game might still be viable before this final week is over. It's no where near as good as puzzle pirates furnishing imo but it's still pleasing visually.
>>2631067Dude their guild leader is literally Indian, who cares.
>>2632013You made me remember that I still need to get some logging levels for my furniture on my non-existent house, damm!Our time is too short..
>it's a peeping on the females in the spa episode
>>2632013too many objects overlapping each other nonny, you failed the furni exam
>random guy wants to hunt nins/infiltrate sand>we find a guildmate outside of the village and invite him along>we make it to the kage's office and do a dumb larp >we finally try to party/team up>"guildmate is offline">guildmate is a disguised sand ninja>2 more sands rush into the building and kill us>his name wasnt even the guildmates when he said things
>>2632103Not my home. It is just some random house that is open to the public in Asoki Port.
The melee damage scaling in this game makes no fucking sense and I defy one of the long-time players to explain how the fuck it works to me, and why the developers think it's remotely balanced the way it is.Damage scaling itself is easy and makes sense. There's a base damage, and then some percentage of your stats are added as additional damage. So for instance, a shuriken does 20 base damage and then .5 times your intelligence as additional damage. At the "benchmark" of 60 Int (which is your final jutsu's prerequisite), that means a shuriken does 50 damage. Simple. Most jutsu have 60, 70, or 100% damage scaling, with the vast majority being 60 that I've seen.Melee damage is extremely confusing and makes essentially no sense. It likely differs based on weapon because attack speed is a consideration. Just to give you an idea, bare fists do 15 damage with no agility investment. they do 18 damage if you have 20 agility (which implies that they do 14 base damage and 0.2 agility scaling). Kunai dagger melee attacks do 31 damage with no strength investment. The basic wooden blade taijutsu weapon does 28 damage at 20 agility. It seems like your fists' base damage is added to your melee weapon's damage. So fists do 14 damage, then a Kunai does 14 extra base damage, and then I guess 3 damage is added from your 5 base strength, which implies that Kunai have a 50 or 60% strength scaling, which is odd. It's odd, because a Broad Sword (supposedly 18 base damage) with 62 Strength apparently does 41 damage per swing. Now, there's no universe where this number makes any sense. 60 Strength and +4 base damage only resulted in +10 damage over the basic Kunai attack, which implies that the weapon's strength scaling is like 10%. I never thought to test this, but that implies that the basic Kunai (with the same 62 strength) would do more damage.
>>2630615>why do you think the game is good?The game encourages cooperation and social interactions.The setting is good.The money in-game is extremely valuable, there's no easy and quick way (that I know of) to make money.It also has a lot of cute little details: like how you can time your jumps to avoid chakra loss while running on water, or the stealth mechanics: you can hide behind objects but being injured or typing in chat can ruin your cover, or how you can't type in chat while dead.It just feels like the devs really tried to think the game out and not just copy and paste universal mechanics into the familiar setting.
>>2632281This brings up another issue, where you are actually doing LESS DPS at 62 strength with an 18 base damage sword than you were at 5 strength with a 14 damage kunai. It's 41 damage vs 31 damage, but the sword swings at 1.5s intervals while the kunai swings every 1s. This seems horrendously wrong and stupid. Burst damage is important, but spending 62 fucking stat points (the equivalent of nearly 500 HP in fortitude) should result in more than +10 fucking damage per swing.Similarly, after investing 15 points in Agility (which could have been 120 HP if invested in Fortitude - a 50% increase over the starting amount), your basic fist attack (free), taijutsu weapon attack (300 ryo), and kunai dagger attack (200 ryo?) all do ROUGHLY THE SAME DPS. Again, this makes no fucking sense to me. If a spellcaster invests 15 stat points into their melee attack, in order to equip a melee attacker's weapon, they should do more melee DPS. Instead, they do the SAME DPS that they would have done without investing anything. That's not counting weapons like the Bo Staff or Poison Kunai. If you invested 15 stat points into Intelligence, you would do ~8 extra damage on every shuriken and jutsu you fired off. If you invest 15 (or indeed, apparently, 60) stat points into a melee attacker's stat, you get NOTHING.It seems to me that the melee damage formula must be massively fucked and skewed heavily towards the lategame. I've seen threads of people complaining about Taijutsu users critting for 160 damage per attack, so it must be possible to do damage with the mechanic at some point, but I really have to fucking feel for the sword users who are apparently stuck with next to no benefit from their stat points well, well into the game.It is especially bad to have this sort of balance issue when the mechanics are so opaque and there are no free stat resets, so any testing must come directly out of your own pocket.
>>2632306It really boils down to how busted Weapon Master and Taijutsu are as classes and how each sword/knuckles are unique in their own way. The stats for WM/Tai exists solely to meet the minimum requirement of the weapon that you want to use while the remainder should be dumped into Fortitude for survival. Taijutsu and Weapon Master went through maybe 8~ reworks by now to "balance" them. Unfortunately, this is just one of the drawbacks of providing players too much freedom. It's a nightmare to balance everything.Like Taijutsu, Weapon Master can string jutsus to do a combo.Dance of the Crescent Moon (Basic attack + Kunai throw) > Target is stunned > Blade Piercing (Basic attack + Kunai throw) > Risky Blade (Basic attack + Kunai throw) > Target is stunned > Crescent Moon BeheadingThis is 90 + 80 + 106 > 96 + 80 + 106 > 108 + 80 + 106 > 80 = 932 Damage off one combo without even factoring the second masteryINT WM / LightningLightning cutter > Basic attack + Shuriken -> Explosive kunai > Lightning senbon > Lightning spear > Basic attack + Shuriken > Wild slashes106 + 80 + 120 > 270 > 112 > 126 > 80 + 120 > 88 = 1,102 Damage
>>2631973Have they been doing that to you?
>>2632643Quite curious too, the only thing they and others did is jump me while I am out in the wild sometimes
>>2632281>>2632306Your melee damage increases with level.>you are actually doing LESS DPS at 62 strengthThe reason it's like that is because element players don't invest in strength, and have few weapon options while weapon masters have a ton of options and strength is their main stat. Element players will be still using that 31 damage dagger at lategame, while swordchads will be hitting around 100. Taijutsu does less damage per hit, but hits the fastest.
>>2631067Ganking is lore accurate
>>2632665Yeah, non str/agi melee will job be outdamaged by most forms of melee/auto attack, only losing to tools and perhaps a specific build for chakra scapelsTaijutsu seems the worst to actually deal in combat since they have a bunch of ways to teleport to your side.Seems the better intellect weapon currently is the poison kunai, I might be wrong, though.>>2632669True!I think ganking wouldn't be that much of an issue of the military police did their job instead of bumming around town, that and if the sentences were a bit harsher, that way, newbie killers get punished, and proper 1-1 fights fare better
has this game ever done village destroying events ? like some pain shit
>>2631985done, finally
>>2632643>>2632659No. An unflagged anon's escort mission was bodyblocked earlier at the start of our time here. Just left it there for if that shit happens again and it seems like some locals might be mentally ill enough to go out of their way to hinder our gameplay at any cost. >>2632669Never said it wasn't.>>2632707I agree. Nothing wrong with ganking. Most pvp encounters are avoidable if you aren't looking for pvp. It's not like you get set back much anyways either. Just a 5 min or so recovery.>>2632739Happens every day. Leaf raids leaf. Mist raids sand. Sand raids leaf. Villages raid missing nin. Missing nin raid villages. I'm sure some mass organized world rppvp events happen that are planned and if one of those were announced I might attend.
>>2632968>and it seems like some locals might be mentally ill enough to go out of their way to hinder our gameplay at any cost.I feel like we're getting along with most of the community. Even the rogue nins have stopped and chatted.. I think they know we're only temporary at this point.
>>2631515Nah I'd rather just let them slowly kill the game and drive off more and more people which they are doing.
>>2632707>that and if the sentences were a bit harsher, that way, newbie killers get punished, and proper 1-1 fights fare betterEveryone's scared of the discord meltdown and sperg out. In reality you guys are only seeing half of the game because the other half is so discord focused.
>>2633015Wouldn't be surprised, but honestly I think the devs need to remove the band-aid and stop doing half-measures, seems the PKers and seething retards are only a vocal, yet minor clique. Dunno much they whale though, that might explain a few things>>2632968>rppvp eventsWould love to partake into some one day, heard some stories about the vets regarding it, but seems they were mostly done before the steam version went live
>>2632990Witnessed a rando that also seemed new that wasn't associated with us getting tilted over dying and they may have believed that was one of us. That's all just speculation. >>2633003The overall community seems nice would definitely hate to see this game die off since the greater portion of it are just regular dudes and dudettes(dudes) that enjoy the naruto larp. The concurrent 150 pop seems healthy enough but 250 would be peak for this game. Outside of pvp the game has a kind of cozy feel to it at times.>>2633025They overall community was already warned for this >>2602042 recently. There was a mention of someone getting blocked in by earth jutsus while unflagged but having trouble finding that post. May have been someone who mentioned it in guild chat. Overall point of the post with the rules is that it's a way to cast reportjutsu without having to join discord if they do anything outside of ganking to grief us while we're unflagged for any reason. Now we know. Now they know. >>2633025>devs need to remove the band-aid and stop-doing half measuresIf griefing outside of intended pvp and ganking happens dev/GMs actually need to put their money where their mouth is and outright ban them regardless of whale status. In less than a week it really won't be our problem but for the sake of the future of the game I hope they standby some of the changes they've made.
>>2633015Retarded anons think "le comfy vibes" when the majority of the playerbase are all seething at each other 24/7 in discord
>>2633192??? LolAll they do on Discord is report and plan raid groups. If there is something to discuss, it happens over voice chat. The majority of Nins interaction occurs in game through role playing.
>>2633025The last PK clique that sperged out and left the game ended up as a net benefit. You can see the fluctuation on players here: https://steamdb.info/app/1674010/charts/ August saw a big boom in players, October saw a lot of drama go down, people splitting from villages, rifts formed, more missing nin appearing, with a lot of grudges, and people leaving as the PK clique was favored due to simply being the most vocal on discord. This was when the game was at its worst. That lead to the negative reviews and complaints of bad community, ganking, toxicity etc. This continued into November. December is when a lot of the Chuunin drama went down and a lot of veteran PKers had a tantrum and left the game. Then what happens in January and February? Player base goes up. In late February, the PvP controls were added, this lead to another tantrum and people leaving in March, but what happened after that? Players grew in the coming months.Its just filtering out the shitty people and bringing more good people in.
>>2633146>Witnessed a rando that also seemed new that wasn't associated with us getting tilted over dying and they may have believed that was one of us. That's all just speculation.Do they know exactly who we are? In terms of the guild and that its mmod related?
>>2633192>confuses small minority of loud fags for being majority of the playerbaseAnon... you should probably reconsider calling others retarded when you're about to post retarded things.>>2633314>do they know exactly who we are?Does it matter if they know who we are? We aren't some leet boogieman group. We're just a bunch of gamers in the final leg of a two week stint in Nin. I doubt they care and they have no reason to. We do our thing and they go about theirs.
What's a good amount of blanks to approach a scribe with for him to roll on summoning scrolls? How much do scribes charge for the use of their cervixes(services)? Are scribes hardcore into RP as in they won't scribe for opposing villages nin?
House get!Now I just need some furniture...
>>2633510Grats on the new home! Make sure to tip your landlord. Just hit 50 in fishing and about to take a break. Saved up 8 halibut so far for turn in, hoping to at least get to 15-20 before rolling. Some one else fishing at asoki port hooked my up with the other turn-ins they had stockpiled which was pretty swell of them to help out.
Fire advance
>>2632467And again, where the fuck is 80 damage for a basic attack (for BOTH the STR and the INT WM?!) coming from? These numbers are incomprehensible.Where is 106 fucking damage for a Kunai coming from when apparently you only "put the bare minimum into STR" and the rest into Fort (and some into Chakra to even afford this combo). Or is the 80 damage supposed to be the tool, which begs even more fucking questions about how the Int character is apparently hitting for over 100 damage with their melee.The formula is impossible to discern. You've given me more numbers and all I have are more questions.
>>2632669Okay now imagine Zabuza is dressed in a SUPREME hoodie, has bright purple hair is wearing a clown mask, looks like Karmelo Anthony under the mask, can barely speak anything aside from third world Punjab favela babble and is recording the whole time for his tiktok edit of him killing you in 1 hit. Thats the people ganking in Nin online.
>>2633452>good amountas many as you have>how much do they chargedepends how much of a fag they are. jokage did it for free
>>2633877The numbers were off memory from when I used my WM 7~ months ago, but it is impossible to discern, especially because they keep changing things, but we use this website https://nin-stats-calc.netlify.app/ to make a rough draft of what we want. INT WMs are essentially hybrids, they don't dump a lot of stats into Fortitude.Example of an average INT WM build:Shirokata, 47 base ATK / 1.3 ATK SPD with a 85 STR requirement88 Basic attack, 102 Shuriken STR 85 / FORT 35 / INT 150 / CHK 35
>>2634035Okay well that build is complete garbage and we shouldn't be listening to the playerbase if that's what they think counts as a "broken" build.Standard WM / LightningSTR 5 / FORT 145 / INT 120 / CHK 35Mizukane - 120 INT requirement, 44 base damage, 1.5s attack speed69 basic attack, 85 Shuriken>Lightning cutter > Basic attack + Shuriken -> Explosive kunai > Lightning senbon > Lightning spear > Basic attack + Shuriken > (not using wild slashes because we don't have a sword)118 > 69 + 85 -> 72 > 102 > 109 > 69 + 85 = 709 damageYour build has 514 HP, this one has 1482.

If your lackluster builds are considered "broken" by the community, then surely the community should recognize how fucking garbage the experience is at low levels of investment.And yeah that site is showing bigger melee attacks than the game.
>>2634252We're going somewhere, so basically the weapon you're using will determine your build in the end, but there's a problem: It's using weapons that are unironically worth $1,200+ and there are very few of them available in game.
>>2634252Reading this post made me want to try lightning as a secondary mastery for my medic.Is FORT 120 / INT 40 / CHK 140 a good build?
>>2634437Well I assume you want at least enough INT to actually get all of the Lightning jutsus, which would be 60.
>pvp quest>sand anon lets us farm 1 kill on him>need to get another 1>kill 2 sand niggers, one 4 levels above and one 1 level below>1/2 killsWaging war quest is a scam
>>2634297Well, I hope nobody's paying $1200 for Mizukane. It's not THAT good. It just subsidizes you spending an excessive number of points into Intelligence, when you could just put those points in Fort or Chakra and get good results. Even a basic Kunai Dagger is doing like 40+ damage according to the sim (not accurate to in-game, though).
>>263445765*, lightning is different for no reason
>>2633452>How muchBring a ton, even high level scrollmasters have shitty rates>Service costSome of them will straight up feel bad about it and give you something back. If the scribe is charging, he's probably a cunt
>>2633987I think we should stop talking about them entirely. Those clowns are a joke even inside their inner circle.
>>2634484Man, I hate it. Guess there's a reason no one do that
>>2634514People do invest that much on these weapons, and the story about Akatsuki abusing mod powers to generate and sell these weapons is unfortunately real but you are correct, and that is partially why there are so many Kunai users in this game. However, having too much FORT / CHA doesn't do a whole lot to a player that can efficiently dodge and utilize their chakra pool, but it is just some MLG shit that isn't applicable to 90% of the userbase.
>>2634457>>2634551Would FORT 110 / INT 65 / CHK 125 be fine?I'd like to have high health and decent heals before investing in INT.

WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK!!!!
>>2637518Eyyyy, congrats anon!
>>2634808It's probably reasonable but I'd try to put as much in Fort as possible. The reason people in games always think burst damage builds are OP is that they nickle and dime on survivability. At 110 Fort, you would still basically be getting bursted down by these builds >>2632467, for example.It's fine because you can always use rings to make up the difference but just bear it in mind. In my opinion, Fort should always be the highest stat in a build.
>Steam servers are downREEEEEE
Finished the beastiary for these. >25% drop rate for leather>25% for tusks>above 1% for blank scrolls>raging boars: 3 rings all probably sell for 25>evil black boars: 2 rings all probably sell for 25>both share the same rice hat sakkat that hangs on the back>both drop a pair of brown pantsWill post loot before/after next two posts.
Boar grind (1/2)
Boar grind (2/2)Out of roughly 200-300 boar killed in total only received 4 blank scrolls which I suppose is standard. Only got one off of the normal boars and 3 off the elite spawns which seems about standard. Still a shitty drop rate. Will gacha roll or find a scribe to roll towards the end of the week. Might stick around for a bit longer though to finish this beastiary grind to see how much junk I can accumulate in being a completionist.
Can I do arc 20 alone or do I need a group?
>>2638824You might need a group. If you're sand I can help you with it. If leaf, there's 5 leafie anons on that can probably help you.
Anyone still needs Arc40?
>>2639201Gonna start it tomorrow!
Ohnononono.... leaf xisters... what did he mean by this?
>>2639378you can't post that
Sup lads, we finally got a guild house of our own, it's located within the East Housing District II, it's the big red house in the right, you can't miss itIt's barren as my nutsack after a good shave, but with some effort we can furnish for our final gathering this week.If people want to set a shop there, you can do so by buying the register (10k) from the furniture shop and plop it down, just remember to poke me first so I can set some permissions first
>>2639791Sovl.Thanks for pointing out where to get a mount. Also, they apparently don't last long. Maybe like 60 seconds at most (basic one that is). Perhaps the better mounts stay longer.
>>2638530
>>2639791now that's a big house, not like my cubicle
>>2639845No problem fren! We could try getting the other mounts later if you are up for it, although we gotta try it during low hours, otherwise we might have issues with people trying to kill the boss creatures
>>2640277Is that an inn room? Couldn't make mine public
>>2640313yeah it's in the inn. I don't know why you couldn't set it to public.
And that's arc 40 done, wouldn't have done it without you guys help!The design of the quests are way better than 20 and 30 by a large margin, the focus on bosses rather than getting 40 flavours of bear arses makes the experience better, and favor partying, pretty good. I also liked the fact that the arc unlock more zones in the overworld, and doesn't require a teleport sum every time you die.Seems there's two optional lv 50 bosses in two secluded areas of the arc, wonder what if they drop anything worthwhile
I, too, have joined the long list of wealthy home owners in Ninjers!
>>2641612Eyyyy! Congrats fren! Shame we can't visit it with our mains, but I will make a sand alt to pay you a visit later
>level 17 alt keeps trying to fuck my escort mission to his village, wont take payoffs>caused me to fail my first time because of higher level intervention, killed him the second time>i get a crime because he only hurt my escort>escort bugs out and doesnt move to the spot and the mission fails >he reports the anon from his village who didn't help him, who gets a strike>almost all admin:community interactions are handled through the discord which requires phone verificationim not makin it to level 50 brehs.... whoever can, please take my lumber to make chairs....
I fail to see how this is toxic enough to merit a report after the fag follows me around for a few minutes for not aiding him in pvp. Nowhere in the rules does it say am I obligated to help.
>>2642403The worst part? There was even another level 60 ninja that saw we were fighting, watched for 10 seconds, then continued to run by because they could suss out his faggotry.
>>2642478I always ignore any pvp fight happening around me, except when they're targetting a fellow ninjer. never seen anyone buttblasted about it.
>>2642580I'm still taken aback by how it was a complete failure on all ends of>the community>the coders>the mods>the admins who set up the discord system
>>2642629To this day I still don't understand why they killed the forum and moved it to discord, it sucks.
>>2642478>claims to be alt>level 17 in less than two daysWhether he's new or an alt he did it to himself being flagged. He probably talked a lot of shit too while getting ganked. Even with a new railroaded experience grinding out level 17 with just two rounds of daily quest is a feat for honest to God new players.
>>2642721claims to be new*
>>2642721let me get this straighthe hung out at the critical sand junction, where anyone coming from/to the sand has to enter grinding a mob significantly below his levelhe then got ganked by whoeverhe then saw me entering with my escort then proceeded to wait by the sand entrance for 40 minutes trying to only attack my escort to screw me overmakes a nin want to go rogue and start ganking new players for their unfiltered retardation.i respect his rock-lee attitude though
>>2642270Its what I've been trying to say. You guys have experienced only half the game. It has very heavy discord and voice chat involvement which is basically the second half. And in order to really get in on the cliques and made your voice heard you just have to be on discord and have to endure the drama and politicking there.
>>2643037None of that has to do with an alt/noob being able to knowingly bap the escort first so if anyone retaliates it counts against them instead. This is another clear cut case of some alt fag subverting game mechanics to:>hinder someones gameplay>force someone into receiving a bounty trying to protect their 1/4 daily questIt's one thing to do it on a main. It's another to do it on an obvious alt and then proceed to pretend as if they are new.
>>2643058The bounty system is just garbage. There are too many incentives to kill low-level players compared to high-level ones.
New fan.
>>2643037I've never had to deal with that
in the process of killing this>1225 Big Scarabs also died. >191 scarab shells>70ish or so pincers>15 tailsProbably made a cool 1k off this 3 hour grind. Not including the fan drop since it's an upgrade so it's not getting sold/vendored.
>>2643593Scarab shells sell like hotcakes due to the Medicine Supplies 3 quest, I think that if you announce it in the open, you could easily sell a bunch of them for 18/20 a piece
panic
objectively this is an extremely shitty game but I guess I'll be sad to see it go. it has some soul.i'd be sadder if i'd been able to participate in any level of fair pvp over the course of two fucking weeks. feels like i'm going to finally hit 50 (maybe, if I'm lucky) and then it'll be over.
>>2643910I feel the same, just when I got myself a house, some money, the quests started to become better, and then we dip.I really wished we could get to at least experience arc 50 and get our second masteries. I managed to get into a few 2v2 "fair" pvp experiences alongside a few anons, and I won't lie, it can be fun, specially since some jutsus pair well with one another, the few times sand tried to bust into leaf were chaotic as heck, but it was also entertaining to see all those effects, summons and years of beef into action.The core gameplay loop suck ass and I want to shoot the dev who proposed the idea of dailies and created them, but behind all that, thers's some soul on it. I really hope they get more updates and fixes eventually. Might be worth to check the game in a year or two.
I'd like to visit the monke prison before our nin adventure ends. Is there another way to farm crime other than pk newbies?
>>2644057Not that I know of, we might need to use alts for that
>>26427213 more levels
this quests gives a good amount of xp and also a title if anyone is interested.Probably the hardest part is to reach the beggar in mist villagehttps://ninonline.fandom.com/wiki/Revenge_on_Kuraken
>>2644267Wanna do it later anon?
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1674010/view/701020348316910144New patch notes dropped, Asogi is now a safe zone, crafting bonuses by level are now higher (instead of the 1% per 10 levels), and a few abilities have been rebalanced
>>2643985I can see the pvp being enjoyable later on. This is definitely one of those games where 'it gets better' later on. Shame though that the later on takes like three weeks which is worse than most mainstream games with high player count. Besides the awful experience, they need to rework the scroll rng because it feels gatekeepy.
>>2644603Think crafting in general needs to be revamped, one of the BiS swords in the game requires 600 obsidian ingots, 300 golden bars and has a high chance to fail and lose all your mats during the crafting process.Then we have profession like cooking, transmutation and fishing which do basically nothing most of the time
>>2643910anon, when will you learnthere is no such thing as "fairness" in the ninja world. only predator and prey
>>2644731I look like this and I say this
Can't call someone an alt because it's toxic but abusing messenger owl is completely fine and acceptable when it clearly says to not abuse it in the aviary.

As the final two weeks of Nin Online comes to a close for most anons I must say it was a fun experience due to the other anons being around. I'll be playing a bit longer to grind out the beastiary and to acquire a summoning pet.Things I was able to accomplish during the two weeks as pretty much a solo player out of the sand village:>hit lvl 36 (will probably hit 37/38 doing today's dailies)>acquired the 6k rich sandoid house>completed baiting basics III and acquiring rusty pipe weapon recipe>made roughly 20-30k ryo in total>achieved lvl 11 lumbering>lvl 12 mining>lvl 8 (almost 9) forging and can probably push to level 10>5 fuinjutsu>acquired Seji No Hani fanGame could definitely better. The loop is bare bones and enjoyment is pretty much dependent on investing in the rp element of the game. I won't be engaging in the discord community element, I won't be completing the 1k ryo quest from gambling, and most likely won't invest the time to get guud at pvp. I have no interest in playing LaTale so I'll see you anons in the next game depending on what it is.
All advanced masteries>>2648559Maybe in the future. Its supposedly Genjutsu assets
>>2649020Some of these seem unbelievably broken compared to others. Also, it's fucked up that these force you to invest an additional 30 points in your main stat. It's just going to make people complain even harder about getting bursted down, since you have 30 fewer points to play with. At level 70, everyone will do more damage but have pretty much the same amount of health that they used to. The devs need to rethink these numbers badly. This is especially going to make the game worse for anyone who isn't level 70.I strongly advise the development team to fix these at a 60 attribute requirement, give minimal stat points (1 per level, if any) from levels 60 to 70, maybe even cancel the level cap increase, lower the level you can acquire these to 50, and increase the base HP of all characters by 250 (maybe +5 per level up to 50) to compensate for the additional damage output these jutsu will enable. Anything less is going to create a miserable environment to play in.
>>2649144>Also, it's fucked up that these force you to invest an additional 30 points in your main statWhat are you talking about? Unless you're going for a split scaling build, most builds want around 100 in their main stat.
>>2649147I have already talked at length about how bad the "generally accepted" build logic in this game is. The standard stat spread should be something like 60 Intelligence, 90 Chakra, 150 Fortitude. It is not worth giving up 150 Chakra or 240 HP to get +15 damage on your jutsus. 90 Int, 60 Chk, 150 Fort is also an acceptable build but shouldn't be considered standard, it's a specialized burst damage variant. Forcing 90 int forces everyone to play burst-heavy, in a patch where you're already giving people even stronger tools to burst with. People complain about burst builds as it is, and it will only get worse.
>>2649144>>2649183I'm going to presume you've never played this game before because Tier 3 Jutsus require 60 Intelligence, whereas advanced masteries are Tier 4. The stat requirement for T4 exists to discourage the use of hybrid builds capable of dishing out those 1k bursts.
>>2649183Anon, that exist solely due to the hybrid task, otherwise you would have people having very strong taiju/elemental builds, which would be stronger than anyone else. Also talk with the average player, most of them have around 120ish in their main stats to sped up farming, the damage scaling is also all over the place in T3s and Weapon based skills.Seems most of them stop worrying about chakra after 50/60 points and spend everything else in their main stat and fort,
>>2648936I really wanted to push to lv 50, get arc 50 and perhaps furnish my house, but there's really not enough time for that anymore, and with how slow things became, I don't feel like doing it anymore, probably gonna use all the money I got from selling shit to buy some NC or get a few furnitures for the ninjers hall
whens the final pic?
>>2649222That's a stupid fucking reason to give it a stupid stat requirement. They could just make it a non-hybrid thing if they don't want hybrids using them.>>2649408The average player has a shitty build, which is normal for all video games. Average people are fucking stupid. Chakra speeds up farming as much as Intelligence does. All Intelligence does is let you burst down opponents who don't have enough Fortitude yet (likely because they're lower level than you). That's it.

Find it rather atrocious how difficult inventory management is in this game starting out. Can barely make ends meet trying to afford ninja tools on top of inventory space quickly filling up overtime as one levels. It takes at least a week if autism grinding to get to a level where one can make their own box (with 8 spaces) vs spending ryo on a cardboard box for 1500 ryo that only gives 3 slots of storage.
Mice to meet you
Freedom at last, free inventory space, unshackled from the woes of inventory juggling... This is... the end game.>>2650628Nice rat mask!
>>2650628the cheddar's mine
I'd love to try out more PvP in this game but my build can't do it.It seems the medic mastery is only useful for TDM and CTF, which are both unranked events.
Stay classy mist
>>2650927Its the best for pvp, might not be good during leveling but when you get second mastery it shines. Element + Med or Taijutsu + Med are top tier.
>>2650927Iunno, I've won a lot of 1v1 duels because scalpel is great single target damage + self heal to full if they use their interrupts or try to run to charge chakra + we probably do the most with our throwing tools because we only have 2 stats instead of 3 + our stat lets us see through clones / w/e. The issue comes in 2v2 and 3v3s where it's hard to keep track of interrupts / dogshit aoe / we dont have interrupts.
I won't be there for photos tomorrow, but I'll AFK next to the pond in Totori Village.Couldn't make it to 50. I probably could have pushed it to 49 with really good luck, but I just didn't have it in me after the surprise maintenance kicked me off.
this mofo is truly a master of ninjewtsu. I lost 1k ryo , but at least now I get a 14% discount on ninja tools...
>>2650640Can you make me some containers for me and the ninjers hall?
>>2649183>I have already talked at length about how bad the "generally accepted" build logic in this game isYou would get destroyed in PvP if you used your build. Unless you're a medic, you only need 300-350 chakra. 100 int isn't even considered burst.
>>2651807 Yes! Knocking out dailies on leaf and mist alts then I'll be on the Sandoid to make crates.
>>2652016>You would get destroyed in PvP if you used your build.Yeah, totally! Except for the part where you didn't use a single number to back up your reasoning based solely on vibes!>100 int isn't even considered burstI don't care what the community "considers" burst. The community is full of morons who have wasted their lives playing a Naruto byond game.
>>2652771And their walmart and welfare bucks for that ninja cred!
>>2652771Bro you aren't even playing, go check the kages builds, if you aren't doing some uber grindy fire/earth aoe farm daily, there is no reason to have more than 70ish of chakra, you pump all into fort and your main stat, it's not uncommon for people lose pvp 1v1s due to small health pips
where is everyone at?

The video is out anons! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAZFD7A6OwE Had to upload it to youtube this time due to the file size being too big even after compression, I would like to thank everyone again for the amazing experience you guys gave me, Nin was a very mid game, but thanks to everyone presence, we got some memorable experiences together! So due to that, I cooked this little tribute video, with all the footage I recorded, plus everyone's pics, it got a little too big, and thus, couldn't put every pic taken, but I hope you guys enjoy it, even if it's a little bit. Tried to replicate early 2000s scuffed png MVs with my shitty editing style

Gonna take a break from this game, but I'll definitely keep an eye out for any major updates. It was pretty fun.
>>2660018Gonna take a break too, think I might revisit once arc 60 drops, there's some potential here
Does anyone who just came for Nin wanna continue with any future mmod games? Or are gonna play LaTale or wanna vote in future selections etc?
>>2662434might continue with future games that arent latale. dont care about voting since its not like i recognize any of the remaining games.
>>2662434Think it will play LaTale very casually and focus mainly on something else, game disappointed me a ton, and I keep having rubberbanding issues. Hopefully we will play something better next time

Especially since it's not like we're going to have a crowd like before.If someone did make a new thread I'd post in it, but I just wanted to share that experience because nothing like it happened in Leaf and it was pretty cool how we were all rping in our clan robes (except for the special snowflakes like the one sniffing) and calling the clan head "Lord [Clan name]".
Ninjer bros, the giga update is out.I'm not sure if I should go back to nin because I wasn't even 50 when we ended our journey, let alone 60.

>>2689984No. It's like the devs don't engage with their life skills in any capacity so they don't understand how awful it is. Most of the community hasn't interacted with it in a meaningful way for a long time since most look at me as if I'm a freak of nature when I'm seen fishing/mining/woodcutting. It has basically no reward for effort put in even with the small bonuses to success chance. It's like a gacha game but worse because you actually need to farm scrolls/ryo to buy scrolls. There are better mmos that provide a better crafting experience than this. On another note, I wouldn't be surprised if GMs got caught selling scrolls and other items for irl cash down the line. I'm almost certain there's a secret whale shop on top of the NC interface (most likely done through discord).
>>2689984as said,the goal is that you find someone who's used literal hundreds upon hundreds of blank scrolls so their character has a 1-2% craft bonus. so instead of a 0.01% it's a 2.01%also >>2690181>check the never updated wiki>fish used to be sold for up to 90 ryo instead of 5 at maxwe really did miss out
