Lumy Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Being Kage is draining, having to lead and moderate a 1/3 of the community for 6 months, which is half a year is way too much considering we got other stuff going on in our lives. I think the Kage terms should be reduced to 3 to 4 months. Just the idea of having this big of a power for half a year is crazy to me but the responsabilities that comes with it are even worse. Some will say that you can just chill and relax but doing that will only make the village go downhill. It's been three months and I'm drained. I wish that to no one... however I think reducing the term would be good for the community and the Kages themselves... a win win situation. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What i mean to say is that if you feel drained,you can either take a short break and leave your Co kage in charge or just retire if your tired of being a Kage.

This. The six months is there to cater to persons who want to serve the full period and those who want to serve a shorter term and then pass it on, I see no issue with that. There is nothing stopping a kage from stepping down or taking a break if he/she feels burnt out. In that way a person could serve the full six months if they want to or the recommended four months that you have there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumy Posted February 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Clearly, you have never been in that position and wouldn't know how to handle things. - First of all... there is no such things as a Co-Kage. One character remains in Power with the Kage Powers. - Trying to keep a non-leaf village active is way harder than you think. That's why, as you may have noticed by now, both Sand and Mist had difficulties with activities in the village or with Kage terms lasting 6 months. The new player does not chose leaf 80% of the time, therefore the village does not grow naturally. The charisma/strength of the Kage/Village will make people go there. - From a Non-Kage standpoint you should be able to see that letting a player holding power for half a year is pretty crazy. Especially in a system like Mist ( it is not exactly this way right now) but in Mist you could actually be loyal to the village and do plenty of efforts for it and a rogue wins the tourney and all you've worked for goes straight to the garbage. - When I do something, I do it to the fullest. I'd rather completely leave than actually stay away for 1 month and comeback. Even though I am thinking of retiring a part of me doesn't want to quit on the village. - You can ask any player that has been Kage, and they all said that they wish that one no one. It is a draining position and that's why having this responsability for this long is crazy. It is a second job that you're not getting paid. Go ahead and ask any old Kage if they "enjoyed" their term. It is fun the first few months of course, especially if your village is doing so good but after awhile it is consuming your energy. I actually think that no previous Kage would be against that. It's quite easy to judge from an outside perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ueda Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 I'm open to the idea of making it so people have the choice to retire earlier and still getting Jonin rank after. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumy Posted February 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Yeah I don’t think you can keep playing the game or have fun by doing a full 6 months as Kage it all leads them to quit the game completely but I am fine with @Uedas decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ori Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 Ayo, why he say 1/3 like Takumi ain't a thing? We riot *fire emote* edit: He probably didn't count Mist, cus it's a ghost town. Riot delayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niro Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 I think something else that could be a factor in people quitting on the kage, is that it's losing it's charm being the 10th+ kage in a village. We're at 15th Kazekage now, and most of the players currently, have no clue who the first 7 even were Although, I don't agree with some of your points, since each village is run and build differently (e.g. monarchy, anarchy). So not all the villages are gonna be popular just off that reason alone. One option, could be a mid-term election. So after 3 months, you can decide if you wanna do the full 6 or stop your term there. Idk... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atrane Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 I don't think the term should be shortened when players can just willingly retire early. I agree that this role is a heavy burden and it's not something most players want to do, but nobody is forced to serve the whole term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maho Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 The thing is... Most people apply for terms and or go through the motions for certain roles and or ranks but rarely carry the responsibility of it. As I said before this is an MMORPG, without the RP it's really just an base, team up, button smashing, MMO Of course you're going to struggle organizing the game. The foundation isn't being implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seifer Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 I do agree 6 months is a really long time, but Kages could always retire early. What this topic should really focus on is there being be a way to dethrone Kage's once they become in-active or extremely unfavorable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
