Hey, it's been 2 years, 7 months and ~11 days since I first heard and downloaded Nin Online. So far it's been a wavy experience, filled with very long days of playing and plentiful breaks. But what can I say, I have made some great friends and learned A LOT about the online world in general, and that some people can be real jerks. I just wanted to vent out here, you can read it or not if you don't want to. First Point that I wanna make, the development of the game; I know how people feel about Ueda behind the scenes, but as much I have said stuff myself, I believe he's trying his best (most of the time). Though criticism (yes I know it's a scary word around here) I want to make, I dislike how "known bugs" are being neglected, personal experience with that, I'm sure some bugs have been around for lengthy years, but no one knows why they haven't been dealt with. Not important? Can't be fixed? Well I surely hope this new update brings more utilities that allow those bugs to be dealt with. No content/bad content? I don't believe any of the fresh stuff released around this year is "bad content" and I have my hopes high up there for these new systems to bring way more and more exciting stuff. As much as of controversial this topic is. 2. Second Point Game Masters; As I have had an (one very short) experience as one, I can say I just admire everyone who can last months on that position. Lead GM, Erox, is a very odd person who can have a very short temper, very cool dude too. His humor is questionable, at best. Though he fits quite well in the position between devs and the casual player. I have had my good share of disliking some of his decisions to punish/not punish someone, but I'll be honest, he just follows the rules/Rory's word and I can only respect it. Antar is probably one of the very few genuinely nice people around this community. I had my big doubts he'll handle the weight of the position, but he baffled me. I hope he keeps up his stay. 3. Third Point Discord; Holy flap, Discord PvP must be one of the most fun wastes of time I have seen anywhere. It's one of the most engaging game community discords I've been in. Feels like a chaotic community center for everyone to throw sale at each other and just be themselves, I honestly love it. Late night voice chats, Village vs Village after a huge fight, all of those are what keep me going engaged when I have a bad day in-game. Moderation has certainly spiked but that hasn't stopped the people from adapting and keep going strong. 4. Fourth Point the community itself; Uh what can I say? ALL kinds of people, nice, bad, weird kinks, genuine trash cans? All of them, but to be honest having such a colorful player base is what makes it special, best of which is that it's a tight place and everyone eventually gets to socialize with each other. The group dynamic that's around is a fun part of it, organizations, crews, etc. How groups like Taka, TA and others can influence the political systems themselves is amazing. 5. Fifth Point Villages; Yes, I have been in every village, more than once. What can I say? It's way different than being free in Takumi. In a sense, for me, all villages are the same. Tight, secrecy, hierarchy, if you can last long enough you can get far, but if you want to speak yourself, well good luck. I don't have much else to say about them, yes most of the time they deserve the sale they get, but people just play the game. 6. Sixth Point PvP/PvE I myself am a true, pure grinder. I have dropped hundreds of thousands of Ryo worth of rare stuff. And I genuinely dislike the competitive PvP, but sometimes enjoy messing around with spars and tournaments, team/solo hunts and such. I acknowledge I am not the best at PvP mostly because I don't want to be phased by the daily trash talk. I believe there's way more stuff that can go into balancing of the PvP mechanics, I can see when something is fair and isn't, but I'm on Ueda's side when he says that some masteries are just meant for different situations and not for 1v1. Yes, the PING situations is bad but adapting to it isn't hard, many skilled EU players stand up to skilled NA players with better ping, nothing we the community can do though. _____________________________________________________________________________ I don't know or have what else to say, feel free to expand on your own thoughts down below, I just thought I'd make this small "rant", you can say something about me or whatever. It's more of an attempt to open some discussion. - Thanks for reading
