Moved more of database to Cloud (MongoDB) We've done more Cloud-ification! Over the past 2 years, we've gradually moved our game over to use more a modern technology stack. We've taken more steps today by moving the storage of the following data types to Cloud: Titles, Animations, Villages, Ranks, Emoticons, Missions, Npcs, Shops. This means the potential for APIs for these data. Being in MongoDB also allows us to expand our data structures more easily as they are much more flexible in NoSQL. Cloning Technique 79f76fbc311c0790876f5f7ba7742eb9.mp4 I'm listing this as a new feature, instead of a bug fix, because we basically rewrote the entire system. Clones were initially implemented in Nin Online in 2013, but broke around 2018 and after years of trying to occasionally patch it up, we decided to finally just redo most of the code. On top of what it used to do, it now supports up to 2000 clones per player. It's an arbitrary number, it could be more. Of course, we won't do that. But we could... but we won't. These clones are illusion clones, so not Kage Bushin/Shadow Clones, but just clones to distract your enemy and make an escape or to make some time. Clones used to move in 4 directions randomly each step. Now it will follow your direction, until you turn, then it will pick a new random direction. If it face plants a wall, it will change directions as well. There's a lot more that was done in the background, but its too much to explain. (Experimental) Jutsu that can destroy projectiles Any projectile or AoE jutsu can now be made to destroy projectiles in it's way. There is also a setting for making it so the projectile only gets destroyed when it is weaker (less damage) than the other. In the past, this was suggested and considered many times, but due to the performance of the server in the past, it would've been impossible. The GIF above is taken at around 5ms ping on localhost. In a perfect world scenario, this would be what it looks like for everyone. Sadly, with latency, it's bound to look very different in real world scenario. Hence, this is marked as experimental for the time being. 08PeCWE.mp4 (Experimental) Revolving Heavens Technique can now destroy projectiles (Experimental) Wind Barrage Technique can now destroy projectiles (Experimental) Combusting Vortex Technique can now destroy WEAKER projectiles Improved server load times Previously, server took about 25-30s to boot up. Got it down to 14s with MongoDB + Threading. Improved server-side threading of AI Pathfinding Reverted adding shadows to Player sprites on Login and Eye Changer screen as it was buggy, may return in the future Fixed Tournament UI remaining on screen after tournament has ended Fixed Currency Item Type being usable to play animations Fixed collapsed UI sizing Fixed Revive Animation being played at wrong location Fixed Nuibari Description & removed unnecessary silence Fixed using puppet summoning removing concealment Fixed regression below Fixed the following Visual Bugs

b2thvp.mp4 Camera Button Available on the screen all the time, you now have quick access to a button that will snap a screenshot in two styles instantly. You'll get a normal screenshot, and a Nin Online watermarked screenshot with the user interface hidden. If you like what you took, you also have quick access to the screenshot's save location with the... New "More" Menu This new "More" menu will bring you to our ever increasing number of features in the future. Things you don't need instant access to all the time, such as your Cash Shop stash and links to social media. New links include Discord, Twitter, News and opening your screenshot folder quickly. Sadly, this update will only go live in a day or two because we've ran out of data with our patching software provider.

End of May 2022 Balance Patch: Water (Int+Str) and Earth Greetings from the player balance team. Here is the balance patch for the next two masteries we reviewed. This patch caused even more debate than the Wind and Med patch. We want to continue to help flesh out strengths of weaker masteries like Bubble, which has been perceived as underpowered since it was added to the game. We continued the theme of nerfing instant cheese damage and cheap CC, even if it may remove some of the fun on some masteries. The balance of the game as a whole will benefit from nerfing these “S-Tier” jutsu. Also a bit of clean up to revert chakra scalpels after the failed instant cast + self stun experimental change.

That's a really in-depth guide showcasing how useful the mastery can be, even though I never played an Earth char, if I was to make one I'm sure this would be very useful.
