Technically, we are the puppet masters. Digital puppet masters.

Just wondering if the mechanics for this will be similar to the parkour in Titan fall. That game makes me feel like a ninja with a gun. Now that I think about it, calling in my Titan was like a summoning jutsu.

I think a perma death should only be allowed to characters who achieve something worth protecting. For instance, learning to wield a third nature. And something like that is only allowed once they  master the other two. But once they learn their third nature, a price should be put out on his head or a mission granted from the Kage to Anbu skill lvl shinobi. This way, once that person is able to weave two chakra natures (making them overpowered), they will have to be cautious when using it. So that even those they once called friend won't be temped to kill him to collect a huge reward. I think this would also allow for a better system for handing out keke genkai, so that it isn't random. Instead given to those who have earned it, and kept by those who master it. However, once permanently killed the keke genkai is handed to the Kage for reward. If kept that person, is now branded a rogue and the cycle continues. I think this can be done with more than chakra nature based justu, maybe even make room for ocular abilities.

That is where we highly disagree. I do not see the ability to watch your character hop around as a legitimate me reason for 3rd person. At least, not when compared to peeking around corners or completely turning the camera to watch an area that your character isn't facing. I know vreg said we will get both 3rd and 1st. Unfortunately, unless there is some type of incentive or advantage for the 1st person players, their time and resources would better used on something else. Because no one will ever use 1st person. However, vreg said that 1st person is being implemented for VR. Tell me, who spend roughly $1500 on VR equipment (ie the oculus rift, omni, and ARAIG suit) to play a game that doesn't cater in some way to a 1st person enthusiast. With that technology right around corner, probably the same year this game is to release or sooner, how will this game draw in those people. I already know what your thinking, "fuck'em, don't play it". But that's exactly what's happening to TESO. Zenimax didn't cater to the true 1st person enthusiasts, now their ship is sinking and they're trying to sue Oculus Rift to not drown.

As for the mechanics in 3rd, I think that regular 3rd person should not effect any stamina bar. However, panning the camera beyond your characters actual line of sight (like 180 degrees) should drain or halt the regen of your chakra. The same goes for extensive zooming out. I would like the ability to trade that for some sort of mini map that blips a red dot, indicating the general location of someone who is sprinting nearby without muffling their footsteps. I think that would suffice for better hearing.

I haven't said anything about nerfing 3rd person. Actually, I even suggested that you should be able to scroll out farther once you reach a higher lvl, after saito posted that in the chat.
Now, let's scroll back to all the way back to the beginning of this thread. Yup. As I thought.
Your first post was to say negative shit about MY opinion; My suggestion in this forum about what? That's right..."SUGGESTIONS". Say it with me now..."SUGGESTIONS". Very good.

Now, I believe anyone who has read this entire thread would agree with me. It is YOU, who should mind YOUR own damn business. While your at it, change your forum signature. You're giving the Uchiha a bad rep. Maybe try Konohamaru, not the Shippuden version. The one with the yellow helmet and a blanket. That's the image your putting off. Don't feel bad though. Everyone who plays with Amaterasu gets burned.

I don't think thatthe four types of ocular justu in naruto are too specific if they have have different names than the anime. They are a huge part of the show, and I don't think the game should should be advertised as naruto simulator without them. Hell! The entire story wouldn't exist without ocular ninjutsu.

The person who commented on my first post after understood what I was saying. And answered my concern even though I don't believe his response is possible. I fully understand the meaning of permadeath. My problem is that people can easily take advantage of it to kill off someone they couldn't take in a fair fight. For instance, an entire org creating new FREE accounts within minutes, finding said target and assassinating him on sight without any repercussions. Those new characters they created are free and not linked back to their original accounts.

As for first versus third person: you wouldn't be forced to because you would have the option to chose 3rd, however, those who would rather have a different ability like "smell" to track enemies who might be hiding. Or my favorite, something that allow me to read ones primary chakra nature. I think giving people the option to these choices would really enforce a more dynamic teamplay experience that rewards those who can use them the most effectively. And if the people choose third person happen to have light blue pupils, so be it.

I would the majority is starting to lean towards first person. The TES fans threw a fit when the zenimax told them they weren't planning on adding arms in first person on ESO.
By the, character customization is so that everyone their own distinguishing features. Not so that you stare at your butt in tight jeans while you play.

I was actually hoping a naruto based mmo wouldn't come out in third person. I think third person should be allowed but limited to the byakugan and sensory type ninja.
