Konoha Tavern - RP General Chat Discussion

[Howard]

A text based role playing game was unappealing to start with, atleast in the context of Naruto and ninja battles. So much of time was spent deciding if a move worked or not. When you can't see whats happening and just have to describe it the moves are up for interperation. Sometimes what worked to block an attack in one battle didn't work in another because mods or senseis interperted the move differently.

Oh and also the insane op custom moves that some of us could only hope to get some of, or if we were lucky could maybe get a move to counter it even a bit. Like honestly I'm still a little pissed about when solf used fang mode on us. It put me off the rp from that point on, because when a game can approve of a jutsu you can't react to unless you got lucky enough to not only be a sensei but pass the mankekyo sharingan test too, it discourages anyone else from joining because how can you compete with that :/ it stopped being about fun and was about what insane crap can I get away with in the custom jutsu submisson thread. its like pay to win but worse because its join the rp in 2008 to win because you got away with crazy bull shiz and they don't want to take away peoples customs from back then. In fact I'm pretty sure theres this one ice user from 2008 who still has an aburame bio with byukugan because he got it before they cleaned up and never went to get his bio updated again.

A lot of the previous problems that you mentioned have slowly been phased out, excluding the arguing and quoting. That's something that still tends to go on when tournaments happen or battles take place. The RP itself has been slow for a while due to the current arc but if there are abilities you wanted, for example, Mangekyou Sharingan like you mentioned, or even things like Yin-Yang, EMS, etc they've all become more attainable via the kumi system. Additionally, you can remove yourself from battles almost completely, if you don't like that content by performing missions and obtaining the kumi that way.

I personally find missions, more entertaining than I found battles and I don't have to worry about being quoted. You don't have to worry as much about if a mod will give you permission for something big that you want because you can just buy it. I got ahold of Yang, Yin, Yin-Yang and Fuuinjutsu all through the kumi system. The only thing that is gated behind permission is like Kaguya Otsutsuki. Alternatively, there are new combinations you can have due to the dual abilities feature. I think you can now have Aburame, and Hyuuga or other KG + HAs, KG + AEs or AEs+ HA etc if that's something you've always wanted to mess around with.

Though in the end it's completely understandable if you don't want to RP anymore, a lot of people have fallen off of it. For a while there only my village was really "active" in the NW and even we were only just doing it to entertain ourselves. If I can pull them out of it, I'll probably try to get my village active again in the following arcs if they want.​

Yeah the new rules do sound better, (can I buy a minato bio?) Maybe in the future. Besides having not found the rp fun in a long time I have been busy with college and haven't had the time anyway. I just log in here and there to see whats going on, namely with the boruto manga.

Discussions used to be alot more fun but most people in that sub forum just want to insult each other or the manga itself xD

Well here’s Ian with his useless two cents no one cares about as usual but never the less! I do have to agree that the roleplay has had it’s ups and downs, but in all honesty the imagination aspect of the roleplay has always been something I truly enjoyed. I wasn’t any one special who irl had friends with Dungeons and Dragons or any sort of actual physical roleplaying board game. My humble beginnings started on Gaiaonline with their Guild Roleplaying. That’s where it all started for me. I always found being able to use my imagination as a canvas to create stories with others as one of the few fascinating hobbies I can think of.

So it really does bring me a tear to my eye that I’m still able to do this type of hobby after all these years. Speaking more on the NRP, pertaining to your comment on “having oldie customs is basically pay to win”. While I do agree some problematic customs did exist over the course of the years, you have to realize that you joined in an era where the game evolved to become more strict on how customs are being checked and approved. Lot’s of the oldie customs are just, well, oldie customs. They came from a time when the rp was more relaxed but with the raise in more competitive players, the scene started to shift.

So don’t blame it on the older members. This was the “norm” for them back in it’s early years. Now a days those types of customs are ever rarely seen, but if it does exist its either A. The person is a retuning older member and doesn’t know the game has changed that much B. A more modern member who happened to be lucky enough to learn the customs from said member. You gotta realize too as well, not a lot of those customs are as broken as you think they are. In those times? Perhaps, but like Fang Mode you mentioned. It’s not that good in this modern era of the roleplay. It’s a good mode yes but compared to other Sage Modes from the canon list etc its still not as dangerous.

So what you might see as oped back then, will more than likely be seen as child’s play now. The comment about the Byakugan Aburame thing, eh it’s w.e tbh. It wasn’t breaking the game or making an unfair advantage to anyone else so I don’t get the complaint about it. Now in this era, that combination is actually legal so it’s not really that big deal now.

All in all, I know you have bad moments here. We all did at some point, but the rp evolved over time to become better than you can ever imagined. The flaw however…is that these changes came too late if you asked me. Many players moved on cause previous heads of staff just refused to listen to us. Some of us stuck around but many just either didn’t like the game anymore or simply got a life and moved on. The kumi system that Howard mentioned made the game a lot better. No more begging on a mod’s profile for permission. Your own effort is what got you what you want now.

So yes you can buy a Minato bio and no one in the rp can tell you “No you don’t have the skill”. Just buy your bio and go have fun, no battle tests anymore for shit. You can even buy Sage if you wanted. That’s how much the game has changed and become better, but we don’t have the audience that we did from 2012 to 2017ish. Lots of people grew bored, moved on or simply didn’t care about the game anymore. While myself have pretty much decided that the rp is “dead” right now, I would love to see it come back with greater activity again but right now I simply have no drive to rp in the NRP.

I mod for the Dawn of Tomorrow Roleplay now and it’s been great (yes a shameless plug). Oh well, that’s all I really had to say. Tldr for anyone reading this: Go read it you lazy bum.

Yeah, you can buy Minato, he's 5k kumi. For comparison's sake that's 5 A-rank missions. Or 3 to 4 S-rank missions.

If you're willing to set aside an hour a day you could probably have a bio like Minato in 4-5 days.

You can also learn Sage Mode on it after 1 month if you choose to stick with it.

Obtaining kumi also isn't all that hard, compared to the testing, or grading methods of the past making gathering up any abilities you want a lot easier, and much more manageable. Especially with the Storyboard Missions Criteria which explains basically everything you need to do, and remember when writing up your missions. I'd say the pass to fail rate on missions dropped significantly with the only fails being S-rank or A-rank missions that weren't focused on hard enough.​

I'm not sure you realized by now but Joestar isn't a Naruto Roleplay Moderator anymore. He quit months ago but got reinstated as a mod for the Dawn of Tomorrow Role-Play. Your asking someone who no longer has his position there to do a job he can't.

How decent of him to say that in his replies.

Yo, just as a heads up if you do want to get back into it, and need to know what to do, just hmu. I could walk you through getting back into it, ranking up isn't all that hard. I restarted at s-jounin back when the reranks happened the first time and got back up to full arsenal and beyond rather quickly. With missions, you can rank up faster as well, since you can double up on doing missions to rank up, and to gain kumi to get the abilities you want.​
