Cloak of Invisibility can now be used if a projectile or trap has been used. It will no take you out of stealth if a user is hit either. Water is selected by default when selecting an Element.

This is a poll to let us know how the game is running on your computer. Please say yes if it is good, otherwise no.

I have updated the Patch Notes with one more fix.

Dear Ninja, This is to fix some issues with the last patch. This is the last patch until Sand Village and wipe. Fixed exploit with Enchant Scrolls not being checked properly. Fixed scroll being given for Shizuna. Fixed issue with certain Jutsus not working with ALT self-cast. Lightning Current now is an instant cast for rank 3. Buffed Taijutsu basic attacks. Nerfed Jutsu damage scaling for Element Masteries. Updated description for some Jutsus. Best Wishes, Hitspark

I am nerfing Jutsu user damage as well. The damage scaling is too high, people are bursting people down way too fast.

Taijutsu damage will be buffed for basic attacks. The damage formula is higher than it was before, I wrote the code and am aware of what I changed. @Slimdog

WM damage was only nerfed from basic attacks. They hit slower is all.

We also have made some balancing improvements for casting. You can cast all instant cast Jutsus while moving.

No. Those weapons are being phased out, we are going to make them earned better after the wipe.

Fists are 2x as fast as weapon, rather than same speed as they were in the past. I have updated the changelog to include more details about the Taijutsu rebalancing. We've nerfed melee users a lot, to allow ranged users a more fair opportunity in battle.

Weapon speed is different for each weapon, but the difference is 100-200 milliseconds. We have reduced the speed of weapons by almost 200%.

Dear Ninja, This is mostly a bug fix and balance improvement to the game, new Tiger mobs and Event Headquarters area has been partially released. There also are some improvements to the game to make it run smoother and a new Cash Shop item. Improved tile drawing, increasing FPS by a lot. Fixed Uzu Shoes being given correctly in-game. ALT self-cast will not replace your target and works more reliably. Fixed many mapping bugs and chat messages using the wrong name. Fix crashes with server, DoS improvements, and stability from brute force attacks. Fixed drawing of paperdoll bugs. Fixed character disappearing from edge of map. Fixed a bug with paperdoll disappearing when maps are updated. Server select screen displays the region the server is meant to be played on. Added Fox Hoodie in Cash Shop. New sounds have been added to Senbon, Kunai, Shuriken, and interface hover/click. This fixes sounds missing for projectiles. Range is no longer done via client and while casting, range is no longer checked. Rebalanced many Jutsus. Fixes to many descriptions and names. Weapons have had their attack times reduced, making them much slower. Burning Ash Pile Jutsu has been reworked to damage Chakra instead of health. Added more headgear in the Forehead Protectors Shop, for those who like the protector above hair. Added Event Headquarters new area, it is not yet complete. It can be found east of the playgrounds/Chunin Exams Registration Building. Added Shiken for enrolling into Chunin Exams and updated the entrance area. Replaced Samurai with Tigers. Taijutsu melee damage is 50% of weapon damage, but the Jutsus are the same as weapon damage. This buffs Taijutsu damage for Jutsus, but lowers it for melee basic attacks. You can cast while moving for all instant cast Jutsus. Best Wishes, Hitspark

If you want us to host Chunin on NA, you must play on Hawk consistently. We aren't moving it to NA until then. We are not hosting this month on NA, because it is not a dedicated server. Until we get enough players playing on both servers, we will keep doing EU since it is a dedicated server.

Thanks @Saku, you are a great asset to this community. Your guide has been featured and will display on the Controls Guide page as well as being pinned. You've also been awarded Silver Ninja.

Uzu Shoes are missing, I have fixed this but wasn't made available yet. I can push the new item to the game servers ahead of time though.

Thanks for the kind words. We're unfunded group of volunteers, everyone who is contributing is doing so for very low pay if any. This is all a learning experience for us all. Rory and I are the only people on the team that have actually real experience where Rory has the most since he works for a Singapore company on actual mobile games that have a lot of funding. As for leveling up alts, you just make a new build and play again. Leveling will become more fun as the game matures. We want it to be repayable. Think of seasons in Diablo 2, where you level up a character with a build then repeat the process over and over again. This is the same way, our game takes a lot of pieces from a lot of classics and throws them all together. The Ninja style game is just a platform for us to make an innovative experience that people care about, not something that has been done before a million times. We know what we are doing basically.

I have given you Gold Forehead Protector and $10 Account Credit.

Wikia contributors, if you do enough to help update the information we will give rewards out to the highest contributors. Just post here about what you did to make it better.

No, we will release it all at once.

Some fixes. Substitution has automatic targeting now. Self-cast (ALT) is now faster. Removed old targeting client-side stuff for buffs. Bounty Station respawns you inside the same map you died.

The Jutsu damage was nerfed by about 40%. This was actually a nerf and buff at the same time.

Dear Ninja, This is mostly a bug fix and balance improvement to the game. We also have updated art for some Cash Shop items and added a new area for Chunin players as well as one new Cash Shop item. FPS boosted massively, huge optimizations. The PvP button should no longer get stuck on. Loading time improved. Fixed lighting and tint. Fixed messages appearing about having a Jutsu already when casting. Paperdoll should no longer disappear on edge of maps. Fixed crashes with game servers. Fixed bugs with loot sometimes disappearing if the player who did most damage logged out same for experience. It will now always go to someone, if they log out, it will go to the last person who attacked it. Made clones and invisibility take target off better from players. You can move while using pills and Jutsu item casts without being desynced. ALT key will properly set you as target before casting a Jutsu. Clones no longer make you immune to NPC attacks. Loot System has been switched to Free-For-All while in a Team. Team members share loot and can pickup other members loot immediately though. It is up to players to learn to share and work together as a Team. Loot System now gives the loot to the player who did the most damage to it. Improved the Loot System to support more than 5 different attackers, it can now check all players online to ensure the person who did the most to the mob will get the credit. Improved client outdated to be more accurate. Added Jonin Standby Station - a new area for Chunins and above which can be found in Leaf Village next to Hokage building entrance. War Armor and Flak Jacket can be bought here. Added a Teal Fox Hoodie in Cash Shop. Taijutsu damage scaling has been changed to use the same formula for their melee attacks and their Jutsus. Buffed Taijutsu melee damage since last patch. Sexy No Jutsu has been updated to keep the current hairstyle when switching genders. Shark Bomb has been fixed. Lightning Current now has a 1 second end cast duration and rank 3 requires a 1 second cast. New icon for some items - Sexy No Jutsu and Skin Color Dye. Animations from items now lock onto you. Added where the seconds left to use the item on cooldown will display in the message. Chat Bubble lasts 10 seconds instead of 5. Bounty Station respawns you inside the same map you died. Buffs support range. Best Wishes, Hitspark

Chunins get exclusive content. This is confirmed and have the content coming out next patch. The rank ups unlock new missions and gear. Gear in our game has no stats, so it is RP clothing.

If you are muted in the game send me a private message on the website. We are going to no longer mute players who speak other languages unless they refuse to acknowledge the rules, we will tell them to use team/private messages. We don't want there are be a bunch of different languages in our community, it makes everything really complicated and hard to moderate properly.

Yes. The explanations were a little off, that is what we messed up on and the Taijutsu damage was too strong.
