I'm so out of touch... I wanted to make a new bio and stuff. Start fresh. A real basic one. A Naruto character with nothing special about them so I can just touch up on the basics and I got absolutely lost in the sauce with AP and specialties, etc. I don't even know if making a new bio is worth it at the moment lmao. What the hell am I doing...

I tried way back in the day where you had to learn each of the 5 basic elements and that involved literally describing how you were forming the jutsu (how you gathered and shaped chakra) and all that. It wasn’t as simple as: I use chakra to make a d-rank water shuriken and throw it at your face because that’s all I can do at this point.


Then there’s this + that beats this, and well, hang on… special this let’s them ignore and dodge it and “you can’t do that because your not standing the right way” and also because you’re now in an environment where you can’t even use that kind of element. Plus I’m just going to respond with a higher ranked jutsu of an element that completely counters yours.

Git gud noob

so yeah, I didn’t get very far

Oh yeah no we are way past that. Combat got way more simple to understand and a lot more fun in my opinion but in turn making biographies outlining the specifics of what you can do got more defined. So defining it is a little harder because its broken down by Ability Points which you can allocate to break down what you can do and how well you can do it and specialties which are abilities you excel in. It's honestly not that hard to learn. I was so against it thinking it would make things harder to understand but it really made it ten times easier. I am just lazy and don't feel like doing a whole brand new bio and figuring out how and where to locate the points. Everything else is easier to do including combat. But yeah. I just figured out it was harder to simplify a character like I was trying to do rather than add updates and upgrades because adding you just expand on what you already had whereas breaking it down, you have to break it down properly and trying to copy and paste off a stacked bio, like my Otsutuski and trying to make a new bio from that but more simple is not ideal at this current moment. I may just take the time out to make an entirely fresh bio.

From what I'm seeing in the revamp its going to be easier to join and learn anyway. Close to a hard reboot so if they go thru with it, I encourage you to join the fun! There's plenty to do outside of fighting tbh.

I plan to commit to a fight with Pervy to get back in the swing of things but if we don't go all out at the very beginning I'm down. Trying to take it slow.

Ngl, probably because the RP kept this sight alive for years after it would have otherwise died conpletely. So its understandable and even expected that the topic of discussion is RP. And it probably should be. This site can no longer be based around Naruto or even anime alone. It should encompass all anime, heavily emphasize RP and become a party game and event website for nerds. That's my take. We can easily do things other websites dont do to make it pop again its just how it gets started and promoted. Forums are a dying breed but plenty of people want them. If we can do what other forums can't, we are in the winners circle.

Well true. But V and Z have to try and read through all that to identify the problems/solutions. It’s important stuff and things may get lost in the discussion portion of the feedback.

You're right. Though I'll point out, that we are also all retarded. So none of them are thinking about that. Just writing their novels. Bless their challenged hearts...

Hey, I admire the passion and energy. In fact, I envy it. Sometimes we can be our own worst enemies though!

Absolutely. Although I'm being playful about it, with my little dry humor. I agree with you. I'm just Joshing you. Get it? Because you're Josh? Ah. I crack myself up. Anyway, yeah. I wasn't joking about the fantasy novels though. Wallies or bust.

Don't envy it by the way. Embrace it. Join us. You can be my pupil.

Yeah. Yeah. Sounds like an RPer for sure. We all say we dont have the time. Then come back three weeks later with a three page pre planned character arc and pre registered moves for two different battles. You'll come around.

In another news, trying to debate if making a new bio is even worth it. Because if I do all this and RP gets revamp I may cry a little.

Lol, I'd definitely say hold off on making a new bio right now. Even if things don't get fully reset, parts of templates or rules may change that would make you have to resub it anyway.

Edit: If Canon characters were removed, how would you guys feel? If, for example, Hashirama were removed but the ability to gain Wood Release or Wood Sage Mode were still possible ( just without the passive buffs he had ), would you be okay with that? If not, why not?

Fair enough. I wouldn't mind canon characters being removed, personally. However, sometimes I do prefer RPing as a canon character such as maybe Kakuzu or Konan so I feel like I would still want the ability to make a canon character bio and play with them. So if you mean completely removing them and making them non-playable, I'm a little iffy. Like the fact that I was thinking about making a Toka Senju bio again to kind of go back to the basics of battling since she doesn't have much at her disposal and isn't even available to select from premade bios, regardless of my customs. It would be cool if I can make her in my own way if just their abilities were removed as far as being attached to the character themselves and we could still make and play with these characters. But if we were simply not allowed to make canon characters, would be a little rough. Again, I can't speak for everyone but for me personally. Because I am very fond of characters like Kakuzu. Only thing holding me back from holding onto him is that there are too many things I want to try and not enough slots and there are only so many combinations and bio slots at my disposal lol. Some of us truly enjoy canon characters in the show/manga enough to want to play as them. Ex: Negative Knight with Kakuzu, Sasori with Sasori, some RPer went further than I thought they would with Konan just can't remember their name, even you with Madara, technically. So the demand is there. But on the other hand if you remove the character from the RP but allow them to be made, kind of weird seeing someone like Konohamaru use a Sharingan or some weird shit. So I am 50/50 with it. Wouldn't be hurt by either decision but I would prefer if at least the character themselves could be made, ability set coming with them or not. Even if people throw something dumb on them. It's about creativity anyway.

I guess this leads to a question, why remove said characters? Why ask about them? What were you guys thinking? They are pretty well developed as far as what they come with. The characters actually available to use in the RP that you can make, that is. Obviously someone like Karui or Marai isn't available to select but I am talking about the characters like Danzo or Obito, etc. What makes you ask the question if we want them removed or not? If I absolutely had to pick, I would say they should definitely stay. Purchasing a character like that seems fun in terms of what they come with. Like a little purchase pack. Which isn't a quick way to power, needless to say because outside of customs they are very limited when it comes to what canon abilities you can put on them. For example, you can pick Han all day. Get that boil release, but you won't get that sharingan. Which is cool, I think customs makes up for that lackluster fact. Unless you are trying to get rid of the characters and make the abilities they come with, themselves, available to earn which is really cool but would lead me to think canon characters will simply not be allowed to be made. Curious about this.

I think they should stay. Rework them, rearrange how to earn them, add more, take some off, regardless. I vote for them to stay.

I think canon bios should go, even though id take a massive L supporting it as my bio is a cannon Hamura now and even before it was a Hiruko one.
