Why you can't have a second shinobi life in the naruto world.

I mean, it's sort of like Second Life.
What are you supposed to do in Second Life?
Can the same be said about Naruto Life? Or Shinobi Life? Online?

It’s one of the problems with perma-death.
There have bin many suggestions on how to overcome this. To make death have consequences but not  feel like a F-you you lost all your shit!!

The best idea so far was a generational approach where you marry and have a kid achievement. Then when you die you step in to the shoes(reincarnation) of one of the kids in the village or your own kids, who will then  inherit your belongings from your previous character.

The consequences are however you lost all your progress on that character, except for any inherited jutsu, or KKG. But that only matters if your character has skills and stats witch is still undecided.

That's the beauty of hardcore. When you die you're dead. I know many people hate this concept, but I don't mind it.

well problem i see is that you just get trolled to shit.... witch would massively minimise fun... exept maybe one would make savezones, witch could be deactivated at special time or something....

You're all assuming dying would be easy. Killing a character/shinobi won't be easy by any means, it'll be doable, but there will be nothing like getting oneshotted like in...any other game.

Being knocked unconscious however will probably be easier than dying. 90% of fights will probably be determined by someone being knocked unconscious instead of death.

This is yet another benefit of having a accurate chakra system based on spiritual and physical energies.

Having attacks that could one shot someone is fine when you have low level jutsu that negate all damage like the substation jutsu. However, if you have infinity replenishing chakra then there is 2 potential problems.

You need to limit how fast the chakra replenished- potentially slowing the pass of combat so you can’t infinity spam these jutsu.

Or

you maintain the fast passes combat and keep the charge rate fast but then you have a the problem of trying to do damage faster then the target can negate it.

If there are limitations to how much chakra a player can use - you get the fast pass combat with high damage, and damage negation- and it adds more depth to combat because you have to be thoughtful about how you use your chakra.

The only slowdown you get is from how fast you can  analyze and execute your strategy, making combat completely skill based.
