Re: Character Creation

No Tsengu is telling the truth!

Levels make up an MMORPG dude.

We NEEEEEED LEVELSS!!!

Tsengu Sat Jun 07, 2008 4:41 pm

Yeah we do, at least that's what I think. Ranks are gained by doing tests (chuunin exam, and what not), a S-rank shinobi is given that rank from being a huge threat to alot of villages and by knowing alot of jutsu. So we need levels.. and of course the chuunin exam and the ranked shinobi will be determined by what you know.

hey, i'm new to this forum. regarding the uchiha problem, couldn't you just removing them, as the uchiha's are all destroyed apart from saskue and madara. Therefore, new uchihas being born is pretty much impossible.
And for the character creation.. just an idea but i feel it would be better to choose your clan (basicaly like a class in other mmo's) who all have thier prefered weapon's pre-defined, then have custimisation. Then a little cutscene, explaining each hidden village and the country it's in, the leader there.. etc. then asking the player which village they wish to start in?
Just an idea, may not fit naruto but i don't know..

Tsengu Sat Jun 07, 2008 6:13 pm

Well as Sorlaize has said in ONE of the posts lol, I don't know exactly which it was but.. he said something that made sense for this VERY situation Very Happy

. He said "the fans want what they see on the show" which is true in this situation. The Uchiha clan is in the show, and people want to be them, as for them in the game, I am sure it will probably be one of the least picked clans as if we didn't restrict them it would be VERY over populated.

In regards to the character customization, definitely think that is something that would help (the village part ^^ Wink

, and might be something that we'll do.

chaotrix2 Sat Jun 07, 2008 6:18 pm

ok, all makes sense Very Happy

Takashi Sat Jun 07, 2008 6:43 pm

Well..
I dont think that unbalanced clans is gonna be a problem.

I have played MANY naruto games on byond and stuff.
And theres always normally a balance..

Just because you like Nara doesnt mean that I will like it.

People like different things.
I like Naras.
My friend likes Aburames [wth is his problem]
And Shadow_Pryo is obsessed with Sand nin.
While at the same time I have a friend who doesnt even like naruto Sayin that Uchiha's are awesome.

I guarantee you that the balance between clans will not be a problem.

People have what they like.
So let them play as what they like.
Dont make them have to play something they hate because someone likes the same thing as them.
After all. This game IS about making people happy and satisfying the needs of gamers.

True, don't forget that each clan has its speciality equal to sharingan (one-handed seals for example.)

Tsengu Sun Jun 08, 2008 10:40 am

Wow... Takashi, you definitely have become smarter Smile

. I see your point... and I call you on it. Perhaps we should let them choose, besides even if the clans are unbalanced... they are in the anime anywho.

Takashi Sun Jun 08, 2008 2:04 pm

Why thank you.

Just a simple idea here. I mentioned custom vertex buffers and such to sorlaize. Basically, I believe that with these, if implemented correctly, could allow for interesting meshes. It would require two base meshes ( a female body and a male body ), and then an editor to select vertex groups for say, muscles growing or something. Now, this would basically leave many people looking the same in the beginning, but we could have a variety of faces they could choose from for their characters ( as having dynamic editable face meshes in runtime would be quite difficult ). But if they have stats such as strength and all that, you could have, say, muscles grow according to strength. Of course, this will take fine tuning, but I'm quite sure its possible, and I'd be glad to help out with this topic if need be.

Reading through the technical stuff, that'd be awesome, it would make the player feel like thier character is thiers and is unique.

Sorlaize Tue Jun 10, 2008 8:14 am

Yeah, I think if players can do something along the lines of, completely define their type of ninja in appearance as well as base stats, as opposed to using classes and evolution of classes, we could really be hitting something Very Happy

It would add a new dynamic to the game because the players can have their character unique within their team [being in the same village they may start off similar]; having teammates with completely different strengths/weaknesses to theirs obliterates the bad points of the team based play, because each player feels that bit more special.

Tsengu Wed Jun 11, 2008 1:52 am

This is definitely an amazing idea. This will really make people happy.

Sithex Sun Jul 06, 2008 6:41 am

Well I'm curious
When you are creating a new character how are you to
Choose your own Bloodline:
Mixed Element
Or Not chooseing a Bloodline:
Narutal Element
None:
Taijutsu based
Or Advance Bloodline (Clan ability):
Hyuuga, Sharigan, Mind Transfer, Size Manipulation, etc

I
figure it is the first thing you must choose while creating a
character. For some clans pick up on sertain characteristics (Tattos,
Clothing, Physical).

Cuz god forbid I could put up the "Element Table" (Props to Azure Wrath, and Nick From NarutoChaos) tongue

for every mixed element im sure there will have to be a clan for each...?

Tsengu Sun Jul 06, 2008 1:17 pm

The mixed elements was something we haven't touched upon yet so far. I believe it should be random. The clans you could pick with your village, but the elements would be fun to do random, this way even if you don't like lightning and you have it, it will more than likely give you some interesting combinations and you will learn to love it.

Umaterasu Sun Jul 06, 2008 2:02 pm

yea I think the Natural Element should be Random, And like Tsengu said, If you don't like your element you gotta deal with it

Tsengu Sun Jul 06, 2008 10:42 pm

Yeah the whole thing is that it really is just random, and elements aren't a HUGE thing to think about but it really is huge when it comes to jutsus. So you'll get to mix things up and make some new jutsus.

Umaterasu Mon Jul 07, 2008 12:06 am

That might Be Too hard O.o...creating a jutsu demands ALOT of time

Sithex Mon Jul 07, 2008 7:03 am

Welll Im posting the Mixed elements (Bloodlines) so you can kinda get an understanding on what im trying to touch upon

Fire Elements:
Fire + Fire: Combustion
Fire + Water: Steam
Fire + Wind: Poison
Fire + Earth: Magma
Fire + Lightning: Light

Water Elements:
Water + Fire: Steam
Water + Water: Cloud
Water + Wind: Ice
Water + Earth: Wood
Water + Lightning: Shadow

Wind Elements:
Wind + Fire: Poison
Wind + Water: Ice
Wind + Wind: Sound
Wind + Earth: Sand
Wind + Lightning: Magnetism

Earth Elements:
Earth + Fire: Magma
Earth + Water: Wood
Earth + Wind: Sand
Earth + Earth: Metal
Earth + Lightning: Gravity

Lightning Elements:
Lightning + Fire: Light
Lightning + Water: Shadow
Lightning + Wind: Magnetism
Lightning + Earth: Gravity
Lightning + Lightning: Plasm

I would think the Bloodlines would be separated in respected countries Like Wind Country owns Magnetism, Poison, and Sand bloodlines for we have witnessed it in the Manga / Anime do belong to them. I do not agree with a Random Bloodline tho for instance my friend from NarutoChaos a top council member Azure Wrath his RP Character uses Ice im sure if he picked up the game he would be disapointed if he ransomly ended up with Magma when he is more suited for ice Rolling Eyes

As for a starting element it really defines the character on what basic element your using for instance naruto has wind his attitude is calm yet destuctive yet free while Sasuke has Fire and he is hot headed and likes to burn people tongue

.
I dont know just some ideas for the group to think over. Cool

(Again Props to Azure Wrath and Nick from NarutoChaos RP for the table.)

Umaterasu Tue Jul 22, 2008 3:13 pm

Nice!

Tsengu Wed Jul 23, 2008 12:20 am

Who knows. Some people like the idea of random some don't. Whether they are or not (not a big deal) you are still gonna get used to 2 elements that you will use to utterly destroy or protect things.

kaostheory Thu Jul 24, 2008 7:37 am

this clan issue to me would not be a prob in the game , reason being because in this mmo as in every other mmo we will make each clan intising with their own awsome abilities, so by the time most players pik the uchiha and realize there isnt a diff be tween the uchiha and others most people will be bored of the uchiha, before players play the game we might want to give them like a recap of all the clans, and make each clan sound realy cool, so its going to be hard for them to choose. that is a awy to take attention off of the uchiha, and i think randomization would realy suk for me, and the whole chouce about waiting till lvl 20 would suck too (besides in the anime each nin weres the clans insignia on their out fit some where). so wat im suggestin is that we make every can to pretty much sound good, and be leveld with each other so the choice isnt automaticaly uchiha, or we could make other clans sound like they have better jutsu than uchiha and get the realy naive people not to pik uchiha, but there will still be some ppl who will pik uchiha tho.

kaostheory Thu Jul 24, 2008 7:45 am

On the elements we should make it so as u gain ranks (not levels) u get to add a new element, but if u hit jonin u get to add a new mixed element, the reason i said that is because some time in my experience i would like to have poison as well as shadow (i wanna be in nara clan Cool

). (the reason i used ranks not lvls is because thats how it is in the anime lvls r to learn new jutsu not new elements).

Well in Naruto you don't get to choose your element, You have to deal with the Element you have been Given.
