handsign names

[Legenderry]

Currently, jutsu activation is done simply by remembering the numbers associated with the justus. Resulting in the table that shows which handsigns are connected to which buttons, completely useless. Why do we need the table (which is great) if we only need to remember the numbers?

I think the jutsu list should be changed from:

eg jutsu1: 1 -> 2 -> 3

to jutsu1: dog -> tiger -> horse

this way we need to memorise the hand sign names instead of just the numbers. This would make the hand sign table useful, also it would make the game more realistic and immersive. ty 4 reading

But we will again have to remember the numbers from the jutsu

eg jutsu1: 1 -> 2 -> 3

to jutsu1: dog -> tiger -> horse

But we will all know that dog is 1 tiger is 2 and horse is 3 so we will just think fast before casting it in our heads 123

yeah but at least the table of hand signs and numbers will be used.

To me, I'd be up for it to display the hand sign names rather than the numbers themselves, however, as Chorbito stated, we know that dog is 1, tiger is 2, ect. Either way, we will memorize the number combination whether or not the justsu list states the number or name next to the jutsu. I don't, however, think that with the jutsu list showing the numbers makes the table useless. Later on, there will be many more jutsus and people who are very interested in roleplay, such as myself, will be able to use that table to satisfy my rp needs, while others not concerned with the hand signs can just focus on the numbers needed to use a jutsu.

I think I just feel as though without the table being used, it is very similar to just simply pressing a button that performs the jutsu on its own, instead of having to "learn" the jutsu through the table. But yeah thats true, I guess not everyone is in it for the RP as much as others :/

As it is we have to teach players how to move and cast jutsu. This would complicate things so much that if no one was on to teach someone, they would just never play again. While it's a good Idea for RP perposes marking people have to learn by older players teaching them, for now it's just unnecessary.

[Legenderry]

you wouldn't need anyone to teach you, there is a table of numbers to hand signs that currently isn't being used in the jutsu list section.

im pretty sure no one memorizes the numbers..

people memorize the pattern.

[Legenderry]

Hello sirpaul, what do you mean by this? I do not quite understand

[NinjaMirage]

He is talking about the pattern the jutsu have on the number pad. Fire ball is 5874 witch starts in the center of the number pad and spirals up and to the left. Each jutsu has a pattern that is easier to remember then names or numbers.

[Legenderry]

Oh I see, although you can only remember the pattern after having performed the jutsu a few times. Im talking about how you find out what the pattern is in the first place, before you can remember it.

Regardless if you remember just the numbers or the pattern, you have to first work out how to do the jutsu from the jutsu list. Im simply pointing out that the jutsu number-name table is currently unused and changing the numbers to names in the jutsu list would make RP slightly more immersive and only very slightly more challenging.

[NinjaMirage]

I agree but as of now there is very little to RP. It's just not a priority. It's not a bad idea. But personally I would rather them update Kenjutsu and add Taijutsu. And expand the maps.

[Legenderry]

yeah I totally agree, it just seems like a mistake though aha. The table is there already set up to allow users to work out how to perform the jutsu. But its been totally bypassed by using numbers, bit weird.
