Re: Character Creation

[Sorlaize]

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.

Bang on, that's what we're gonna do.

The point is, each clan has its own good / bad points, and even the Sharingan will only be useful / applicable to certain things (for example, it can't let you retreat from a fight, or even move, faster). Don't forget in a massive game such as this, we're able to use all of the bloodlines and techniques seen in fillers and so on.

When you go into battle, the range of abilities players will have will be so diverse that it's not about what skills you've got, but how you combine them effectively to overcome your enemies.

'Someone who works hard can beat a genius anyday.' Good point. It's not about what techniques you have, but how you use them. The simplest technique could be your downfall.

[Sithex]

such as Kakashis favoret Replacement Technique

[Tsengu]

Exactly. That's a great example, simple yet very effective.

I was thinking readiing this thread that another way to customize your charater would have body shapes. Like some are a bit...huskier than others and others have different postiers. For Example...Dosu Kinuta has that kind of 'bent over' stance to him and Choji is bigger that most. So I was wondering if this would be open for customizing.

Also! I read that most of the ninja from the Sound Village have had there body modified for there abilities to be stronger. Would that work...haveing different villages have something other villages havent?

[Tsengu]

Most definitely, Chap. I was hoping that we could get the modelers to make many different style 'base' characters. For instance, say you choose Uchiha, compared to Hyuuga. The hyuuga clan is much more muscular than the uchiha. I think we could also have a few modifications in this as well. Where for the Akamichi (Choiji) you could customize him a bit where you could make him fatter (as the clan itself is 'big boned') but not go skinny. Where as the Hyuuga clan you could go bulkier but not too much. And the Uchiha you could only go to so much muscle, because they need to be speedy so that they could react with their sharingan.

[SeanAsberry]

thats a good idea i was thinkin the same

[Rev54]

I think that if you dont let people choose what they want, then no one will play this. And if you randomize, now one will want to play either. And putting a limit on or only letting 1/300 or what ever is an even worse idea. If you pick for people or don't let them pick at all gets rid of the "fantasy" that they are living in there own Naruto fantasy. I say let everyone be uchiha if everyone wants to be uchiha, (and personnaly I don't because everyone else will be them) But, whos to say how strong they are, and besides, if you train with a different clan then you can become stronger than the uchiha clan anyways. Obviously your going to have to do some sort of exp system where you gain level. Even if you work on things to build your strenght, why couldn't you be as strong or even faster than an uchiha. If you create this game where you have the final level your character can reach and his max stats are less than an uchiha's, then this game was made wrong and will lose people fast. The good thing about playing a game like wow is that each skill, be warrior, mage or Ranger, is that they all have strenghts and weaknesses. So if you do this right, someone who trains its taijutsu will be much faster and stronger than an uchiha who doesn't spend all there time on taijutsu. and vice versa for everything else. I mean I think the Hyuuga's clan is a powerful clan, and its 8 trigrams rotation could easily deflect a fireball jutsu and what not. And its gentle fist could lower its oppents chakra when getting struck. There are a lot of things that still need to be talked about for this game to be successful. But if your plan is to allow uchiha clans stats to become higher than all other clans, then this game will have tons of uchiha guys running aroun, but if you limit people to being a certain clan they want, or having 1 outta 300 be uchiha, then youll have 20 people (total of 20) running around in the game. I also feel this way about demons. I don't think that you should limit peoples abilities to have a demon inside of them. I mean yeah the Nine tailed is powerful, but it can be defeated, if you use the nine tails, it should drain your health and if someone can out survive you in a fight, then you die/faint anyways.

But thats just my opinion.

[runeblade]

I didnt read about the demon part yet but i agree with rev in the limiting stuff. Everyone should be able to attain something someone else has if this person could meet the same requirements as person before.

If some things are stronger in the show then we'll just have to come up with weaknesses ingame.

[SeanAsberry]

yis.

[Sukerimi]

Shouldnt the villages give you 1 of the 5 elements (Doton,Suiton,Raiton,Katon and Fuuton)?

[Umaterasu]

Whatever Village you in...you can get 1-2 of the five elements.(Might be depending on Clan)

[kaostheory]

correct butdepending on level, like you will eventualy end up with all elements because in the show depending on how talented u are u might have all elements. It will be more than five elements dude.

[Umaterasu]

correct butdepending on level, like you will eventualy end up with all elements because in the show depending on how talented u are u might have all elements. It will be more than five elements dude.

Those on the show that has 5 elements are exceptions, we can be based on giving random possibilities for some people...so we should stick on 1-2. (unless you get a secret scroll that gives you the possibility to get another element )

Most definitely, Chap. I was hoping that we could get the modelers to make many different style 'base' characters. For instance, say you choose Uchiha, compared to Hyuuga.

Where as the Hyuuga clan you could go bulkier but not too much. And the Uchiha you could only go to so much muscle, because they need to be speedy so that they could react with their sharingan.

I like that idea. But what about a different approach, where you can choose the height, fat, and muscle tone of your body. Although doing this could affect gameplay, someone tall would have a longer reach making there taijutsu have a more effective range, as where shorter could evade more being so small. Having fat could make you less vulnerable to physicall taijutsu attacks as where having muscle makes you hit a little bit harder? hmm maybe not, maybe the look of your character should not affect how strong or weak they are. how ever the height thing could be a problem, but not everyone would want to be the same height, but it might have to be that way.

[SeanAsberry]

no that is a good idea u should hit harder if more muscle more range if tall and so on

[shikamaru_nara]

Start off by choosing your clan.

Uchiha
Nara
Inuzuka
Kaguya
Hyuuga
Uzumaki
Haku

+Additional clans that I left out.

Then choose your village.

Rain
Leaf
Sound
Snow
Fire
Waterfall
Lightning

+Additional Villages I left out.

Then you see your character. Half naked nothing but small shorts on.
Then you dress your character to your liking.
Choose hair color and pants color and shirt style.

Then as you progress through the game and earn money you can choose what kind of weapon profession your character will have.

Kunais and Shurikens are for all Characters.

=]

First choose village because some clans aren't in other villages the ones you said are leaf and mist then you should be able to choose a chakra and by chakra element you decide from a few clans fire=uchiha (lightning is sasuke's bonus)

[shikamaru_nara]

And i just want to say Inuzuka isn't a clan it's a family

[Rev54]

There have been multiple topics created, and there have been many other topics where this has been talked about. But Kaostheorey had posted here awhile back on a thought that you should get the elements as you gain lvl/rank. And I would have to say I like the idea. There has been talk to limit people to only 2 elements, and I see how that would work, but i say why can't we have all 5 elements? (ok this sounds stupid but it bothers me when people tell me I can't do/have something! its childish but it bugs me) I like the idea he had, and I have another one

1. Kaos's idea - You start off at the ninja acadamey and you pick one element you want to learn first. then you become a genin, and you pick your second. Chuunin you get your third, and Jounin you get your fourth (and if theres no hihger rank you can go, then maybe we should start with 2 instead of one). Or if we use lvl's, then we start off with 1 element, lvl 10 we get our second, lvl 20 we got our third, lvl30 you get your fourth and lvl 40 you get the fifth (or make the lvl spread different, this is just an example)

2. different approach - this one really depends on wether or not you get skills points everytime you rank and then you get to pick where you want to put the skill points. Allow everyone to puts skills points where they want on what ever elemnt they want.

Now this goes for both of them - and its depedent on skill points. If you are allowed to put skill points where you want, then you can do all sorts of jutsu. This idea works because you could be a strong Fire element user and put all your points there, but then you maybe week with lighting, so you could decide if you wanted to specialize in a paticualr element your fond of. IF you decide to keep it all even, then your jutsu will be weaker than someone else who has put more points into fire jutsu and his fire will be more powerful then your fire. And I think that you can only mix the elements when you have put enough points in them.

To refer to someone elses post, they said water and earth = wood. SO I think that you need to have at say 20 points in water and 20 points in earth, and then you get the opportunity to make wood. However your points are limited, and if you invest so much into water and earth, you wouldn't be able to mix other jutsu, fire lighting and wind. They would also not be as strong as your other two.

Like the idea? have these idea's I wrote been mentioned already by someone else??
