Dear Ninja, With most of our community activity taking place in Discord in recent years, on top of an onslaught of spam bots on the forum these days, we've decided to move all community activities to our Discord server. For years now, we've been slowly transitioning to it as the way we communicate with our players. It's become the default mode of communication for gamers everywhere in 2024, so it makes the most sense to just move it all there. Click here to join our discord server Best Regards, Ueda

After listening to @Ueda and @Serias talk about the vision of the game and the amount of effort that went into implementing the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Sand Village me and my friend @SpellWiz started brainstorming ideas and a village layout for the Hidden Cloud Village. This is what we came up with, because Rory and Serias appreicate any playermade content that could contribute to future development and success of NinOnline Basic line-art of cloud village layout I imagine use of flicker pads and bridges to traverse the village Exclusive Passive: Body Flicker range is increased by 2 tiles. Decently balanced mastery. Similar to Sand's perfect cloak. Due to the Cloud Village's structure, it's ninja have adapted to traverse the large gaps. Exclusive Combo Mastery: Laser [Water / Lightning] Ninja from the Cloud Village have passed down techniques that utilize Storm release to create focused lasers. Exclusive Alternate Mastery: Cloud-style Kenjutsu [Weapon Master] Agility-locked sword(s) with agility-based weapon master skills. Can use strength-based weapon master skills with the cloud-locked swords, and vice versa. Agility and strength-based weapon master skills share respective cooldowns. Any cloud-locked swords have lower base-damage than current swords, but higher attack speed. Level 10: Cloud-style Backlash Slash Free-aim-based skill. Charge and perform an upwards slash, interrupting casting jutsu on-hit. 1-2 tiles directly in-front of the user and 2-1 second standing-running cast-time based on level. Level 15: Cloud-style Reverse Beheading Free-aim-based skill. Spin instantly, dealing damage to all enemies within 1 tile. 1s - Instant cast-time based on level, 1 tile radius in all directions. Level 20: Cloud-style Riposte Free-aim-based skill. Users swiftly lunge forward creating an extended range of up to 3 tiles. 3-2 second running cast-time based on level. Level 25: Cloud-style Afterimage Strike Target-based skill. After seemingly splitting into 3 from the intense speed, users instantly move in-front of and attack their target up to 3 times instantly. 2-1 second running cast-time and 3-7 tile range based on level. The user briefly appears surrounding the target on all sides except directly behind them, and any spots unavailable reduce the amount of hits. Level 30: Cloud-style Deception Beheading Substitution-based skill. The user feigns Substitution Technique, preparing to counter. Before receiving an attack, they reappear right in-front of the attacker and launch a counterattack. Level 35: Cloud-style Crescent Moon Target-based skill. Makes the user instantly move in-front of their target and widely slash, creating a large crescent shape hitting all enemies within 2 tiles on all sides of the user, except directly behind. 2-1 second run-cast and 2-4 tile range based on level. Exclusive Summons: Drill Bird Walk/Flicker. Lunges forward to attack head-on with it's beak, creating an extended range. (2-6 tile range based on level) Not as ugly or huge as Pain's monster. Baku Stationary/Target-facing. Pulls in all enemies in a cone-shaped radius. (3-7 tile furthest-point range and 1-2 tile knockback towards summon based on level) Not as huge as Danzo's monster. Or a simpler elephant. Exclusive Organization: Kinkaku Force 5 Members. Aimed to be a heavy team-play based squad. Bashōsen (Fan): Weapon-slot item with jutsu-on-basic. Random large-scale element-based attack is released on auto-attack. High damage, as well as effects based on element. Cost 100 chakra per-cast. Gives 25 intellect. Kohaku no Jōhei (Pot): Weapon-slot item with jutsu-on-basic. On use, pulls target towards snared user. (Think 1 tile knockback towards the user, 2 tiles if target is below 50%) Consumes 100 chakra per-second. If a target is touching the user, while below 20% health, they are killed and instantly sent to their hospital and counted as a kill for the pot's user. Gives 25 fortitude. The next three are a testament to the "team-play" design of the organization Kōkinjō (Rope): Weapon-slot item with jutsu-on-basic. Upon the user successfully landing an auto attack on a target without "Word Soul Leak", "Word Soul Extract", "Word Soul Seal", nor "Word Soul Sentence" debuffs, 100 chakra is consumed and the target receives the "Word Soul Leak" debuff for 30 seconds. Gives 25 agility. Shichiseiken (Sword): Weapon-slot item with jutsu-on-basic. Upon the user successfully landing an auto attack on a target with "Word Soul Leak", 100 chakra is consumed, the target's "Word Soul Leak" is removed and they receive the "Word Soul Extract" debuff for 30 seconds. A linked, targetable and invincible, "Word Soul" mob is spawned at the location for the debuff's duration. Gives 25 strength. Benihisago (Gourd): Weapon-slot item with jutsu-on-basic. Only with a "Word Soul" mob as a target, on use the user pulls the target towards themselves. (Think 2 tile knockback towards the user) If the target touches the user, it is unspawned and whomever it is linked to has "Word Soul Leak" removed and receives the "Word Soul Seal" debuff for 30 seconds. After "Word Soul Seal's" duration you receive "Word Soul Sentence" for 30 seconds, during which you are pulled toward the gourd's user. (Think 2 tile knockback towards the user, 3 tiles if target is below 50%) Anyone touching the gourd's user while under the effects of "Word Soul Sentence" are killed and instantly sent to their hospital and counted as a kill for the gourd's user. Consumes 50 chakra per-second while pulling anyone. Insignificant chakra results in the inability to pull "Word Soul" mobs, as well as no one with "Word Soul Sentence" being pulled in. Those affected by "Word Soul Sentence" are only pulled while the gourd is equipped. Gives 25 chakra. Cloud Village is years-away content, and I expect literally nothing to come of this post besides simple chatting. For most things I have given example cast-times, ranges, etc. but more balancing would be required for any actual implementation. The organization items may sound a bit OP or over-tuned, but compared to puppets/ssm I would defend the suggestions. Specifically, the 3-man combo items would require 100 chakra each and 30 seconds to execute 1 person, which a 3-man squad should be able to do easier than using these items. The theory is 3-man comboing the healers and killing everyone else. Also, the Gourd user would be a target the entire time to stop the effects of "Word Soul Sentence." There's also the village layout; according to the devblogs, round buildings are especially tough...that's the entire village. Flicker pads is a personal preference, as I feel that it would be cool to traverse the village that way. Based off the basic line-drawings, a pure conversion to pixel-art and mapping wouldn't be possible, but the ideas are there.

Hello, today I would love to try and suggest whole new mastery based around genjutsu, lot of these jutsus will be support sided and will be best combined with element as 2nd mastery but hopefully not too weak to not be played solo. Ill try to keep it in nin limitations too. Little trivia from anime to begin with. Genjutsu (幻術, Literally meaning: Illusionary Techniques) is one of the main jutsu categories which uses chakra. Unlike ninjutsu, the effects of genjutsu are not real, being only illusions by those who fall victim to it. With this info we can already see that the mastery effects (even durations) would primarily scale off from chakra stat, I would love to see little supportive scaling from Intellect too but since Im no balance expert this is up to @Ueda really. First of all I would love to introduce new sensory like technique because most likely all of the techniques here will be homing and long range - therefore you need a way to get them off you. Also it would be nice to implement mechanic similiar to blocking basic attacks but chance of genjutsu not being succesfull if target has high chakra. Sensory like technique - Release - would have 80 chakra points requirement and will clean all debufs from genjutsu to characters 2 tiles from the user. Would be instacast and have 1 minute cooldown I feel like this way you could possibly encourage teamplay against this support mastery. Level 10 technique - Illusionary Crows - This technique sends flock of crow hallucinations to cause bleed like effect on the target slowly chipping away his HP, I think that 10 seconds duration and 20 base damage done overall through that time would be good enough to help you farm and at the same time not be as rewarding as full intelligence masteries for example. I feel like first technique should be damaging and PvE able so low level players arent discouraged by the mastery not helping them level up in those first crucial parts of their story. Therefore I would suggest long cooldown to about 1 minute. Level 15 technique - Blinding - Technique that blinds the target for duration of 5 seconds where he can see only his character and black screen around it, mobs would need to have different effect which I suggest to lose aggro for 2 seconds. Long cast time to, maybe even 2-3 seconds. But shorter cooldown so it can be used in group fights more effectively. This technique could scale its duration off chakra points with same scaling as agility reduces cas time speed. Level 20 Technique - Illusionary roots - This technique could be either single snare, but I suggest making it snaring the target and everyone 1 tile around him too for 2 seconds with roots around their legs. Again high cast time around 3-4 seconds and high cooldown. This technique could scale its duration off chakra points with same scaling as agility reduces cas time speed. Level 25 technique - Exhaustion - This one will go nicely with the next technique, it would induce slow, base percentage 30% but would scale with chakra to everyone 3 tiles around the user, for 4 seconds with 1 second cast time. I feel like this one is less harmfull and could again have more normal cooldown like the Blinding about 20 seconds. Level 30 technique - Rellocation - This would be Genjutsus users either Escape or Dive in plan. It would be 1 second stand cast and would transform the user into flock of crows moving 7 tiles, or until physicall obstacle is met, forward, with invincibility during that animation. The rellocation would take 1 second overall and Additional effect is that anyone you pass through will have 10% of their chakra drained. This would have 1 minute cooldown and heavy chakra cost. Level 35 technique - Chakra disorientation - To top it off this would increase Chakra cost of targets jutsu by 100% by distrupting his chakra flows. Of course would be heavy costing on user too and would have 3 seconds stand cast time, but should have cooldown under 30 seconds. On mobs this would neet to have different effect aswell so I suggest doubling the damage of next hit they recieve. This kit I feel like would make Genjutsu users very valuable in teamfights and not encourage them to dive right in with their long range long cooldown and cast times, but still leave them with at least some sorts of defense in 1v1 situation, plus they would have weaker farming at cost of being more annoying at PVP. Feel free to discuss, add, adjust or criticize anything in the comments, cant wait to read all of it and hope we will get this mastery in game one day nwn.

Rory's Development Log #7 Chunin Exam Arena, Ino's Flower Shop, Konoha buildings & more! Dear Ninja, This is going to be a pretty long, detailed development log, I'd like if everyone take their time to enjoy each picture and sentence, because It's a whole lot to take in! First of all, I'd like to apologize for the lack of development logs, and the scarcity of live streams recently. I've been making good progress, however, a lot of this is hard to show in pictures, so I've kept them to myself. Some of these things include GUI pieces like the new shop window, buff display, team/party menus etc. These things are usually not much work on my part, and thus I don't enjoy showing them off, so I wait for Whack to code them in and let him show them off. I've been concentrating on maps for the first demo release, a lot of which has been rebuilt since the previews which were shown. Konoha is about 1/2 done at the moment. I took a short break on that to touch up on certain other important visual aspects, and interior maps. Here are some previews of the Konoha map in action, along with some new buildings & locations! I'd like to stress that this is not everything, and I'm showing things selectively! Random Building/Shop Ino's Flower Shop Besides this, I've also spent some time to improve the previously one colored, boring water sprite into this! It's a small addition, but it really gives the village much more life! This is a big thing I took a really long while to do, it's only the exterior of the Chunin Exam Finals arena! This is a screenshot of a playground in Konoha. It is based off (but not copied exactly from) some scenes of Konoha from the latest Naruto movie. I've also spent some time on some really juicy looking interiors. These are iconic places that every Naruto fan should recognize in an instant! Chunin Exam Finals Arena Chunin Arena within the forest of death, where the preliminaries are held! The hands took almost two days to complete because of all the detailed shading it required, but it's finally done. The rest of the arena still needs touch up, but I'm glad the hardest part is done. I spent some time working on jutsu scrolls. This pales in comparison to the other work above. But I'd like to show it off anyway. Some of you were complaining of me being "lazy" and not posting dev logs, so I decided to get this one out. So you can rest assure that progress is coming along smoothly on my side as well as Whack's! For some bad news. First early Alpha release delayed! Don't panic! It's only delayed till the 1st of August. We initially wanted to do it on the 31st of July.. so the delay is of one whole day! That's all for now! Regards, Rory

This is the final judging! The winner is Indra, taking home 20 Ninja Credits. Although not in the original competition prizes list, I also decided to reward Sirch with 10 Ninja Credits! Congratulations! Thanks everyone for participating!

Lets be real here ninjas, so rory added all these changes to the game(which most of us never asked for eg. marriage, jumping etc) via discord basically abandoning the forums for months now the game in a weird akward spot he goes back to forums now and ask for our opinions?? The only way nin will ever get better is when rory hires actual staff like wolf and them to fix the game and not people like erox and friends hire actual professionals pay them to do a good job, if not we gone be in this rabbit hole. Rory got take some loan or something because most of the OGs isn't gone spend more $$ on a game we been supporting only to come back and see i can't use chakra scaples with base tonfas equipped (1%) drop rate tonfas by the way! but aye hire professional staff, give us advance (not before gta6 btw) a lot of you guys posted some really good ideas good job but some of those ideas been said in this forum since 2018. This post seems to be a slap in the face i don't think nothing you guys type here will ever be in game sadly and if it does it gone be in the next 3-8 years if nin even is a thing by that time , I'm just being real here as an OG player we know rory antics and schemes don't be too optimistic and give yourselves false hope and eager because i can tell you disappointment awaits you.
