It'll be very hard to prevent this without a perfect way to determine if someone is doing it intentionally. We could put things in place like AFK timers that would prevent some very basic ways of doing it like using Alts. But I can't think of a fool proof method to prevent doing it while being there.

This was due to a culmination of a few things. 1 + 2) Sometimes the server thread starts clogging for some reason and we've yet to figure out what is causing it. 3) Our relied upon 3rd party services was having a lot of unexpected maintenances and deprecated service these weeks. This shouldn't happen for the time being but if it does, it's unfortunately unavoidable. 4) The server hardware needed a long overdue maintenance restart, and has been done.

I would like to do all of the above content. I'll be opening a Patreon soon to get more donations which will directly go to hiring more people. I hope you contribute to it.

This is an initial batch of balance adjustments, mainly numerical tweaks to balance to achieve a better player-felt balance for the experiences that players find tilting in the areas of the game that matter to them. This balance tweak is a direct result of the Q1 2022 Mini-Survey we held with over 150 verified player feedback forms submitted. We will hold further surveys once these balance changes have acclimated and base the next batch of balance changes on that. Do note that although we understand players feel strongly about their own Points of View, we also have to consider a multitude of factors above what a single or even most players will see. We balance the game for the entire leveling experience and not just max level PvP, is one consideration, and we also balance for group PvP on top of 1v1s. I've written a lot of Development Logs over the years, some of which describe some of the considerations that go into balancing the game. We also have to consider future gameplay expansions and code changes that are intended that will affect the balance in the future. That being said, we are attempting to make the game feel more balance on the end user perspective for the majority of players as well.

Dear Ninja, No more logging in with Usernames Beginning May 1st 2022, players will no longer be able to login to their accounts with their Ninja Names. This is part of measures to increase account security on top of our OAuth 2.0 Standard Login System and (optional) Two-Factor Authentication. As Nin Online grows, so does the attractiveness of hackers or stealing accounts. There has been few, but some reports in the past of people using weak guessable passwords without Two-Factor Authentication and getting their account stolen. If you are currently using your Ninja Names to login for certain accounts with throwaway emails or email addresses that are forgettable, you are recommended to do the following... Save your email of each account somewhere safe on your own PC/Machine, or a cloud storage service like Dropbox. Use a password manager like LastPass or Chrome Password Manager to save your login details on our login page. As a reminder, with the new web-based login systems, logging still only needs to be done once per PC/Machine, and with the help of password managers, switching between accounts should be extremely quick and simple! EDIT 4/30/2022: We've launched a new feature to quickly login to multiple accounts without re-authenticating each time. We planned this launch to coincide with the increased security measures for convenience. Regards, Ueda

New Additional Military Police Clothing Options Each village Military Police Force has 3 new clothing options, a vest, undershirt and pants. They are now available from the respective Military Police Force HQ stores. Art contributed by @Hari Nogin

Fixed the following tournament bugs/exploits If a player joins a tournament but immediately leaves, he would still be rewarded his teams wins at the end if at least 1 of his team members were still in the tournament by the end. Players still getting warped in to the start of a match even if they left the event with "/event leave" If a player left the Event he would still be added to the Player Group when their match started, so if two people inside the same team left the tournament, they would not be able to hurt each other while a match is active with their team even if they are no longer in the event If a player is Online but no longer in the Tournament, he would still be counted towards the Teams Deaths, and knowing when the match is finished, which could result in a match hanging/waiting for that player to leave, since it no longer checks when he faints either, so quitting would be the only fix Player would still have his Corp items equipped at the start of his match even if he left the event If a player left a tournament but was still online he would still receive all the Packets and Data the server sends to his Team. If a player left a tournament and his match started then rejoined the event after this match started, he would be in the spectators but he would have been given PVP Whitelist, so he then could kill spectators and they could do nothing about it except leave the event until his match ended. If a player left a tournament and was fighting outside the tournament, and his teams match Started, he would receive a Free magical Heal If a player quit the game and a new player took his Index, it was possible for the new player to receive his Teams Packet data from the server

I made a mistake in announcing the timings for automated tournament. In order to streamline time zones, there's going to be a slight change to the scheduling of dailies. From here on out we'll be standardizing in US/Canada Standard Time (UTC-5) aka EST. This includes the resetting of dailies which will occur at 00:00 EST. Tournament schedule looks like this now 12PM EST - 3v3 Tournament 6PM EST - 1v1 Tournament 12AM EST - 2v2 Tournament 6AM EST - 1v1 Tournament Added One-click to join Event Notifications when tournaments are hosted. Fixed tournament scheduling timings from since Discord announcement. Fixed Kaito's Tool Shop (in Takumi) causing endless "Not enough Ryo" loop sometimes.

Automated Tournaments are now scheduled every 6 hours There are still some bugs we're working out. 12PM EST - 3v3 Tournament 6PM EST - 1v1 Tournament 12AM EST - 2v2 Tournament 6AM EST - 1v1 Tournament Added Projectile Lights Projectiles can now light up. Added Level 40 Questline: Bandit Raid Thank you @Erox for your hard work in creating this Questline. We now have a level 20,30,40,50 quest arc! (Hopefully) Fixed tournaments warping in the wrong players Fixed Torii and Gangster Han causing crashes and hanging Fix crash from Right-click Menu when player you right click leaves the map Send/Receive Animation RenderState Fixed Scheduled Tournaments not being joinable due to space in name (Admin only) Fixed Attack speed not going down to 0.1s speeds. (Admin only) Fixed projectile damage label being too small to see what you're setting. (Admin only) Fixed Music not loading in map properties.

Large Poof Animations for Larger Summons Tanzaku Dice got more generous Tanzaku Dice rewards increased from double Ryo to triple Ryo for winning bets. Bubble Clone changes Bubble Clone no longer does Bubble Prison Technique. Bubble Clone can now cast Bubble Spray, Bubble Solution Spitting and Great Soap Bubble Technique. Cell Regeneration Technique now heals more times with shorter intervals (3s -> 2s) in smaller increments Although the description will say that it is healing less, because it is in shorter intervals (5 times over 10s) vs (3 times over 9s) this is a huge buff because it will include 2 additional chakra scaled heal ticks. Poison Senbon Stun reduced from 1.5s to 1s. Poison Scalpel Technique Cooldown Reduced from 9/9/8 to 8/8/7 seconds Land of Waves no longer has Danger Zones, conforming to Land of Toads Level 20 is a bit early to introduce harass to players. Adding sitting animation to seats in Leaf Mission Assignment Desk map. Fixed spiked baseball bat animation. Fixed crash related to missing graphics 0.nin in items folder.

Dear Ninja, As much as we want to focus on making the old players happy with new content, Nin Online has to continue to become a better game for new players as well. A better experience for new players, means more players will stick around and join our community after all. We're starting off 2022 with a new location, the Land of Waves. Following the same format as the Land of Toads and Land of Iron Arc, the new location comes with a level 20-30 story arc. Nin Online's main story missions take place in a chapter format that all start from Mission Assignment Desks in each village. This new location contains 15+ quests, new items, enemies, bosses and more! Thank you to @Both for helping out with the artwork for the exterior of the train, the mobs and more. Regards, Ueda To discuss this announcement, reply to this topic:
