‹Tchalvak›
Since at least 2003
‹kadenangrosas›
NW still kickin
‹Tchalvak›
Whoops, server issue, but now we’re back.
‹Mr_Deadpool›
well before I thats for sure; I was introduced to this game by Izmi back in 2007 right after I had EtS'd from the Service .. haven't stopped logging in since then
‹Mekrotsidalb›
I think I played NW first time about 2003 or so
‹Mr_Deadpool›
seems to me that if anyone were compared to you or Nightstalker or even Izmi they would all be much much younger than you
‹Mr_Deadpool›
Bladistorkem, you've played for many of years :: what was it that you happened to read about me exactly
‹Mr_Deadpool›
did you also happen to read Stormy by any chance..
‹Mekrotsidalb›
Last time I read, you still were young, "Mr_Deadpool"
‹Mekrotsidalb›
Hi! Long time no read you!
‹Mr_Deadpool›
and if Rank was any sort of an age indicator I'd be much much older by now ;)
‹Mr_Deadpool›
You become old? << Ninja Stats shows that in fact you do ...
‹kadenangrosas›
😢
‹Tchalvak›
You become old?
‹Mr_Deadpool›
thats correct :: this is what happens when you've been around for awhile
‹Over_Medicated›
did you go and get married or are you just an old man now???
‹Over_Medicated›
so....its mr deadpool now???
‹Tchalvak›
Hmmm, I have to mess with the chat timestamps soon.
‹Tchalvak›
testing something new.
‹Tchalvak›
Hmmm
‹Tchalvak›
Cool
‹Stormy›
Yeah i use discord all the time, you can add me Stormyc66 #4956
‹Tchalvak›
To be clear, not starting the discord for ninjawars specifically, just for separate gaming in general.
‹Tchalvak›
And of course we have chat already.
‹Tchalvak›
I'm just now starting up a discord for general gaming, though perhaps ninjawars isn't exactly the game to need discord like that, more like a play for a bit a day game.
‹Tchalvak›
So do people here use discord at all regularly?
‹Stormy›
Nah don’t have a switch :/ super cute game tho. My pc just died trying to figure out what’s wrong with it.-_-
‹Bravos›
nope, i play COD
‹Tchalvak›
Ah well.
‹Tchalvak›
Anyone play animal crossing that I could add you? DM me if so.
‹Stormy›
Wut
‹Mr_Deadpool›
Stormy :: reallyyy .. wow
‹Tchalvak›
that's essentially a straight up omission that I have to fix.
‹Tchalvak›
Well, I certainly need to get the turns back in place, it's just that the long-ago update took turns out, I have to add a badge back in, like: (99) that counts down as you use turns.
‹Bravos›
Also, i would really like the backspace attacking to work again. That was the main way I used to attack and level up. It used to refresh the page automatically so the dead ninja will not remain on the page and show as being alive still
‹Bravos›
as it is now, if we hit zero we have to ask someone to help us, or make a second account to get us back in the game lol
‹Bravos›
or if we hit zero there should be a way we can pay / lose kills as a pentality to get back going
‹Bravos›
i agree about the stats.. I dont know when my turns are running low and often hit 0 and can't play
‹Mr_Deadpool›
clean up the Ninja list - listed/shown based on level(s) - perhaps make it possible to reach 355 and increase possible level(s) every 3 months or so ...
‹Stormy›
Would also be nice if i could see my stats at all times. Maybe the top right coner where it's empty? Unless your purpuose was to not be able to see it when killing ninja. lol
‹Stormy›
Also, it didn't drop anything :(
‹Stormy›
Uhh maybe making new characters that are a little more challenging for higher levels? like i attacked the dragon one and i killed it like nothing. I'm assuming that the highest "Beast" you have put up or maybe just changing the damage it does.
‹Stormy›
Is that hard? like new coding for it or something?
‹Tchalvak›
In the meantime do you guys have thoughts on the current game?
‹Tchalvak›
Perhaps obviously that site is in pre-beta phase.
‹Tchalvak›
Trying to get something more mobile friendly, a modern chat, and more screen real-estate for fights.
‹Tchalvak›
https://shell.ninjawars.net/
‹Tchalvak›
I'm still working away on the "shell.ninjawars.net" site replacement, essentially rewriting it into a new technology.
‹Tchalvak›
So want to discuss cool features for the game?
‹Tchalvak›
Has been pretty peaceful so far. The downside is that it has been pretty peaceful so far. :p
‹Stormy›
Damn. That's insane, yeah a lot of places are shutting down ever since that shelter in place order. Goin on 2 weeks of being home from work. Also a blessing and a curse at once.
‹Mr_Deadpool›
currently employed by ExxonMobil :: got me working 6 days a week 10-12 hours a day -_- a blessing and a curse all at once
‹Mr_Deadpool›
coronavirus: im still working - I've been deemed Critically Essential Employee Infrastructure
‹Mr_Deadpool›
don't spend it all at once tchalvak lol
‹Mr_Deadpool›
who in the f#*k is tdeshawtiffany :: HA
‹Bravos›
havent the house in a week. Hope the virus spread decreases
‹Bravos›
yup.. basically locked inside
‹Tchalvak›
I mean, if you are in lockdown or whatever.
‹Tchalvak›
So how is everyone doing with coronavirus?
‹Mr_Deadpool›
ic - recently posted - tnx
‹Tchalvak›
Currently just that “same domain” bugfix, but I’m working on more.
‹Tchalvak›
See: http://www.ninjawars.net/#!/news
‹Mr_Deadpool›
any of these "updates" posted on the wiki or chat forum:: facebook ... perhaps O.o
‹Tchalvak›
Updated & more updates incoming.
‹Bravos›
Thanks!
‹Sokudo›
hello?
‹Tchalvak›
Hmmm.
‹Bravos›
half the list

*nods*
‹Over_Medicated›
We're home here in Vegas. Casinos are shutting down, very eerie vibe. Moreso with the san fransisco lockdown
‹Tchalvak›
I’m still working in the office, sadly, which is rather pointless for a programmer. I’d rather be working from home by now.
‹Mr_Deadpool›
the only thing hurt'n is my investments :: in the last 5 days I've lost all over 10K :: if I pull out now they'll retain 20% and penalize me 10% :: its all about the greenbacks n nothing else.
‹Mr_Deadpool›
im rockin a mohawk and my royal blue converse high tops :: kill'n it.
‹Over_Medicated›
Interesting times in the world these days. Hows every one doing??
‹Tchalvak›
Healing gone wrong

‹Owlet›
it warms my heart to see this website still going :D
‹Tchalvak›
I have to set up timed events to help synchronize when people are online, someday.
‹Tchalvak›
Mmmhmm?
‹kadenangrosas›
anyone?
‹ViperTY›
o.o
‹Tchalvak›
Ya
‹UglyNasty›
Looks like none of the people I used to talk to are still active.
‹UglyNasty›
It's wild, I used to be on here years ago.
‹Mr_Deadpool›
of course you never saw this .. because no one is here .. not even me (vanishes)
‹Mr_Deadpool›
no ..
‹UglyNasty›
Anyone still here?
‹Mr_Deadpool›
*<-;...;->*
‹Tchalvak›
Yeah, I’ll try to get a fix in place for that.
‹Tchalvak›
Ah, hmmm
‹Bravos›
Cannot Attack: You can not attack a ninja from the same domain.
‹Mr_Deadpool›
due to*
‹Mr_Deadpool›
i was using stainless & iCab browser(s) at the time - must have been duet that - I can see it on Opera & Firefox now
‹Tchalvak›
Have to have the extra turns needed to do so in the shrine. It’s still there, just not until you have the turns and kills.
‹Mr_Deadpool›
Dojo Advancement Chart wording needs to be changed .. wt is going on O,o
‹Mr_Deadpool›
what the ... how are Ninja supposed change their class ... & obtain Dimz .. ...
‹Tchalvak›
That’s a new one, but makes sense. What happens on the daily refresh, do you stay negative?
‹Legend›
yo Tchalvak did you know if you keep trying to do stuff after your out of turns you just keep going more negative? It doesn't allow you to do the action but you go more negative in turns
‹Legend›
Happy thanksgiving guys
‹Bravos›
that is interesting! it would be cool to try it out. I do use fight page but the backspace thing has the same issue. I use fight page more often now too. thanks!
‹Tchalvak›
That is.
‹Tchalvak›
*** So In the future if you are off at the shrine you can NOT attack someone who is in the fields.
‹Tchalvak›
To make the map a place you move around. So in the future if you are off at the shrine you can attack someone who is in the fields. So actually moving around the world will be a part of the game.
‹Tchalvak›
Have you tried using the “fight” page instead, though? I know it often looks chaotic, but that is the direction I am moving with combat, is doing it all from a single page, instead of going to the list. Part of the reason for that is because I want
‹Tchalvak›
I will bump up the priority on that one, too, as it shouldn’t be too complex to fix.
‹Tchalvak›
https://github.com/BitLucid/ninjawars/issues/871
‹Tchalvak›
Yes, I agree, not having a turns counter is a big omission. That came with the layout change and has an outstanding bug here:
‹Bravos›
the only way to refresh the page is to click on another page to refresh it
‹Bravos›
if you don't get what I am saying... try to click backspace after you kill that ninja.. it will show that he is alive and you can attack him. Then you attack him and it says he is dead
‹Bravos›
now the dead ninjas remain on the page so it is hard to kill fast.. if those things can be returned I would most likely try to level up and catch up. because I dont have patience to use a mouse and keep clicking the ninja page and refreshing the page
‹Bravos›
in my opinion the first verison was the best... it had almost the exact say layout... but I could see my turns on a bar.. I dont care too much about seeing health. Also, I used to be able to hit backspace and land on ninja list and keep killing.
‹Bravos›
btw when you are on a killing spree... to level up.. how can I check that I am not running out of turns and going to hit 0. I can't just keep clicking on ninja stats to keep checking
‹Bravos›
he is too slow
‹Bravos›
over_med can't catch up haha
‹Mr_Deadpool›
or Over_Med you could level up an catch up ... ..
‹Over_Medicated›
You should remove the cap as a lifetime a achievement award at this point
‹Over_Medicated›
If im honest,dead is most the reason i still check in on the game
‹Over_Medicated›
Dead put in all the work, why not let him wear that lvl like a badge
‹Over_Medicated›
That's a shit excuse.
‹Tchalvak›
Correct
‹Mr_Deadpool›
excuse being as to why he hasn't removed the seal: no one is near your level/ competitor -_-
‹Over_Medicated›
I keep checking in to see if tchal removed the cap and let deadpool hit lvl 532 or whatever the fuck hes got saved up lol
‹Mr_Deadpool›
* <-;,...,;-> *
‹Bravos›
:)
‹Bravos›
dieee
‹Mr_Deadpool›
Sachiko mostly likely some back alley passed out witha bottle of grey goose in hand
‹Over_Medicated›
Still waiting on sachiko, wint hold my breath
‹Over_Medicated›
Oh shit, a legend sighting....
‹Mr_Deadpool›
In a way I've felt like the kyuubi - waiting for someone to break the seal Tchalvak has placed ... im ready to reach 400+ lvl
‹Mr_Deadpool›
I recall you used to lvl up quickly - well I've been waiting for someone to come close to the lvl im currently at .. what do you say **
‹Mr_Deadpool›
if it isn't M4W .. been awhile since the last clan war hasn't it..
‹Meant4War›
Hey deadpool
‹Tchalvak›
Hey, just FYI, expect the site to move to HTTPS soon, have to transfer the site for some major updates that I'm looking into.
‹Legend›
Thanks man seems like just us now, need some newbies to make it interesting again
‹Mr_Deadpool›
sup Legend, long time no c - welcome back
‹Tchalvak›
Level ups are automatic, yes.
‹Legend›
Yo Deadpool what's up bro
‹Legend›
Level ups are automatic?
‹Legend›
Don't get alot of newcomers anymore I take it
‹Tchalvak›
Ah, yeah, I’m working on a site refresh that’d be more phone and device friendly. But it’s slow going, only when I have time.
‹Legend›
Yeah probably because I'm on my phone, no top menu or side menu
‹Tchalvak›
I guess you must be seeing something different than this: https://imgur.com/a/BWXU049 ?
‹Legend›
Where's the mail now or like my profile
‹Legend›
Man i miss this game logged in to see if it's still active been a long time
‹Mr_Deadpool›
** Happy 4th of July everyone ++
‹Mr_Deadpool›
was looking forward: Thief: Metal Ages [best game of ALL time].
‹Mr_Deadpool›
checke3d it out - unfortunately sad to report: Thief series is not compatible with Mac :(
‹Tchalvak›
Summer steam game sales going on now, it’s expensive to be alive.
‹Mr_Deadpool›
lol .. the phookk
‹Tchalvak›
[Sale starts on 25+ games that I want] Me: Oh nooooo! Me getting out my wallet: Oh noooooooo Me spending all my money while buying games: o nuuu....
‹Tchalvak›
Still kicking.
‹FeaR›
been like 10-15 years since i played. nice.
‹FeaR›
wow. this game is still around
‹Tchalvak›
Did you have any problem trying to use it with your clan?
‹Bravos›
thats pretty cool. I like it
‹Tchalvak›
Testing the timing mechanism of chat.
‹Tchalvak›
Uploading clan avatars now more modern and simplified, check them out on the clan management page.
‹Tchalvak›
Yeah, been a long time since that got improved, needs more work still.
‹Mr_Deadpool›
there were also changes made to the battle outcome page - not much different but it'll take some time getting used to ..
‹Mr_Deadpool›
Fight functionality: automatic/direct access to the "Nearby Ninja.." list - I like it; would've been abit more useful back in the day when the site was abit more active in terms of clan wars ..
‹Mr_Deadpool›
iz kewl - perhaps I should take your advice and title the clan accordingly to the current Ninja till I reach 17 and then cut it off there - but not so sure I'd ever reach that amount ;;O,o;;
‹Tchalvak›
New Fight functionality deployed, try it out on the fight page.
‹Tchalvak›
And I saw the clan name again.
‹Tchalvak›
Was just working on clans while developing some new code (unrelated).
‹Tchalvak›
Heh, as I said, I like it.
‹Mr_Deadpool›
.. butt, ass ive stated before its not so much a descriptive title so much ass a favorite movie of mine .. am I not at liberty.
‹Mr_Deadpool›
yes you've commented on this before - an it is abit interesting how it still fancies you ..
‹Tchalvak›
I like how the 'Seventeen Ninja' clan has 5 members. :p
‹Bravos›
thank you!
‹Tchalvak›
Yeah, getting back to the list from the "they're dead" page would be good, I'll log an issue for that. Personally, I use the fight page more than the ninja list these days, since it kinda auto-refills.
‹Bravos›
return to fight takes you back to fight page, but I want to go to ninja list. that is what I find frustrating honestly. is there a fast way to attack and rack up kills?
‹Bravos›
tchalvak, another thing is when you click back arrow in browser the dead ninjas don't disappear from ninja list.
‹Bravos›
i miss that feature were we could see how close we were to leveling up
‹Tchalvak›
But the main game play area will of course have to be different than that homepage interface.
‹Tchalvak›
You can view the new splash page/homepage draft at http://splash.ninjawars.net
‹Tchalvak›
That is true. I'm actually working currently when I have time, on a refresh of the site in general, mobile friendliness will of course be part of that, I intend to generally make the changes mobile first.
‹Meant4War›
Hello all. This site is not very mobile friendly
‹Bravos›
i declare war on all ninjas :)
‹Tchalvak›
On the ninjas list.
‹Tchalvak›
"Lurking ninja" is a list of active joiners.
‹Tchalvak›
Probably depends on the timeframe of "active".
‹Mekrotsidalb›
how many active ninjas are there in 2019?
‹Mr_Deadpool›
*<-;,..,;->*
‹Tchalvak›
Ho
‹Mekrotsidalb›
hi
‹Tchalvak›
Wat
‹RyCkY›
Br ai
‹RyCkY›
iae
‹Tchalvak›
I believe that will open up a lot of additional changes around that concept.
‹Tchalvak›
That is why I'm working on making locations and npcs live on the map more, much like a standard rpg.
‹Tchalvak›
This is because we don't have anywhere for a theif, for example, to live.
‹Tchalvak›
They are readily replaced.
‹Tchalvak›
Right now the system is somewhat limited, as you can see, because if you attack one theif, they don't necessarily die per se.
‹Tchalvak›
Well, one of the things that I'm working on is having multiple npcs.
‹Tchalvak›
Hmmm
‹kadenangrosas›
ok
‹Blare›
I like the setup with the theives that if you attack to many of them then you get a stronger one that pops up. I would expand that as well so that you could then get higher lvl items a chance to drop
‹Blare›
you got neough NPC's setup for use you just need to tweak what they do their strength and what they have a chance to drop so that we can farm npc's and then look into adding in effects with killing ninja players after.
‹Blare›
merchants drop base rings with negative effects tied to positive ones but say a samurai may have a higher level one that just adds positive effects
‹Blare›
then set it up to have us be able to farm low level items for these slots through killing NPC's
‹Blare›
give characters inventory slots for weapons to use, body armor to wear, helmets to put on, sheilds to use necklaces to add effects, rings to add stats
‹Blare›
items that allow you to say do more dmg vs a samurai if equiped on the charactors inventory
‹Blare›
players don't come here as much and due to that this needs a more single player setup - expand on what the characters can do with gear and added items to build stats like a nomral rpg
‹Blare›
11 year old account - damn not even my first account. still say the main changes are added depth of the game
‹kadenangrosas›

‹Owlet›
i think nerfing the dim maks is a good idea :D
‹Tchalvak›
Hahaha, it got autocorrected. I meant: "nerfed" as in nerfing the Dim Mak's power. Essentially I would want to make it not an auto-kill. It would still exist and be powerful, certainly it would still be the most powerful offensive item in the game
‹Mr_Deadpool›
still*
‹Mr_Deadpool›
... would it till be recognizable and any worth acquiring?\
‹Mr_Deadpool›
by making it nerdy what is it exactly that you mean?
‹Tchalvak›
So I would like to hear thoughts on the Dim Mak. Would you mind if I nerded it for game balance?
‹Tchalvak›
How so? Because they do 100% damage. So what? Well, that means that when I increase my hitpoints, I level up, that doesn’t matter, you can still kill me with a single Dim Mak.
‹Tchalvak›
Why? Because they are game breaking items.
‹Tchalvak›
I brought Dim Maks into the game years ago, and I was effectively an idiot to do so.
‹Tchalvak›
Let’s chat about Dim Maks
‹Tchalvak›
Hai.
‹Tchalvak›
: p
‹Tchalvak›
I oughta put an expiration date.
‹Tchalvak›
Jesus.
‹annihilate›
I never did get around to using these 4600 dim maks...
‹Tchalvak›
There are like 4/5 parts to put together for it, though.
‹Tchalvak›
I'll announce the first one on the facebook page as well as here when I have it set up.
‹Over_Medicated›
I’d be in for a special event, just say when
‹Tchalvak›
I'll queue it up, really have to figure out what the "events" will entail, possibly new functionality required to make that work.
‹Mr_Deadpool›
just a shot in the night: certainly wouldn't hurt - down for anything that can bring it all back to its glory day(s)
‹Tchalvak›
Actually, how do you all feel about “Special Events” that count down to their start, so people can all be online at a certain time if they want to participate?
‹Tchalvak›
I think one thing might be showing when players are frequently on, so others can sync up. We’re all like passing trains in the night otherwise.

Redid the overall theme of the site substantially.
‹Tchalvak›
We're on the new server now. Please report any errors to ninjawarslivebythesword@gmail.com

My avatar is dead sexy. Don't be jealous of my ladies..
‹Tchalvak›
Heh heh
‹Mr_Deadpool›
counter: Yes/Si
‹Tchalvak›
So horrible.
‹Tchalvak›
Also, Over_Medicated, change that avatar, ugh.
‹Tchalvak›
Think I should put a counter on the player profiles for how "old" characters are?
‹Bravos›
Thanks :)
‹Tchalvak›
Gotta get a competitor.
‹Tchalvak›
Mmmm
‹Mr_Deadpool›
now if only Tch- would resurrect an take the cap off the ranking system i could finally go on to Level 400
‹Mr_Deadpool›
tnx much, Over_Medicated O,+; I try to personify Greatness
‹Over_Medicated›
That should say congrats...
‹Over_Medicated›
Also co grats dead on the decade, on top for most of it as well
‹Over_Medicated›
I would be completely shocked if any of us ever run out if mushrooms if I'm honest
‹Mr_Deadpool›
futile really
‹Mr_Deadpool›
after using all that weaponry on me - you should have saved your turns
‹Mr_Deadpool›
You have killed Tchalvak .. curiosity killed the cat .. after all
‹Mr_Deadpool›
you figure i'd have saved a few for reserves by now - a decade (OG)
‹Mr_Deadpool›
Account Created: 10 years ago
‹Tchalvak›
Anyway, showing how many turns one has left is important, I just haven't figured out how to re-implement it yet.
‹Tchalvak›
Well, I was talking also about your extra reserve of Amanita mushrooms.
‹Mr_Deadpool›
i log in and have a 100 turns everyday - nothing more than that needed nowadays
‹Mr_Deadpool›
just think of it like being the Federal Treasury .. they replenish their own currency like going to kinkos an printing out a term paper - easy enough right ;)
‹Mr_Deadpool›
run out of turns: of course not due to replenishing each an everyday
‹Mr_Deadpool›
.. be a ..*
‹Mr_Deadpool›
must a tech-contractor
‹Tchalvak›
At my new job, and wish I could pull it on over to nw, just have so little time
‹Tchalvak›
Doing lots of new design work stuff
‹Tchalvak›
I'm suspicious. :p
‹Tchalvak›
Though, really, do you and deadpool ever run out of turns....
‹Tchalvak›
Turns is a problem, yeah, I've been thinking about adding back in a counter/countdown.
‹Tchalvak›
Get your health down a bit and it should go across half of the screen instead of the full screen.
‹Tchalvak›
It's the small orange bar, try it out.
‹Tchalvak›
On the main page.
‹Tchalvak›
There is a health bar.
‹Bravos›
then need to refresh to see anything new :/ it doesnt update
‹Bravos›
"chat archive" and led to new window to say anything
‹Bravos›
The problem is it seems inconvenient having to go to a new page to check those things while you are attacking.. still no health values there...and talking in chat in inconvient compared to how it was when I used to play.. again need to click on "chat
‹Bravos›
ok, I see it now
‹Mr_Deadpool›
Top link bar > "Skills": you should seeYour status is ______ You currently have have ____ turns. You currently have #### ki.
‹Bravos›
hard to see if I am running low
‹Bravos›
where can I see how much turns I have left? my health bar and turn bar is not there anymore
‹Jezails›
hi
‹Mr_Deadpool›
tnx
‹Tchalvak›
Pushed a "heal" button below the "you are dead" message when viewing a ninja's profile. Also fixed combat settings to save correctly (again, that area is always breaking, but I got some tests on it)
‹Tchalvak›
Hai

hey everyone

Added it to the news, but there is now a healthbar at the top to more easily show your current health percent.

And more importantly, I can't run it because it only runs on Macs and I'm on Linux.
‹Tchalvak›
Safari doesn't support a lot of the newers stuff.
‹Tchalvak›
Technical limitations of the browsers and time I have available to debug bugs in general being limited.
‹Mr_Deadpool›
any particular reason or you just don't have preference for it?
‹Tchalvak›
Supported browsers are: Google Chrome latest, Firefox latest, Internet Explorer Latest.
‹Mr_Deadpool›
'cept*
‹Tchalvak›
Just be aware that I won't really be able to fix any bugs in Safari.
‹Tchalvak›
Oh feel free to use it if you like.
‹Mr_Deadpool›
ic - now i know - just won't use it further; firefox, opera, .. all browsers 'kept safari I take it?
‹Tchalvak›
browser.
‹Tchalvak›
Sorry, but I/we don't support safari.
‹Tchalvak›
Oh, maybe the previous conversation about Safari.
‹Tchalvak›
I'm not sure what specifically you're referring to, though.
‹Tchalvak›
Well, yeah it does.
‹Mr_Deadpool›
the game just seems to display differently on various platforms - not all that difficult to fix if time permitted, that is O.o
‹Mr_Deadpool›
not really an impasse at all, Dark Lord
‹Tchalvak›
An impasse.
‹Tchalvak›
well damn
‹Mr_Deadpool›
also shows*
‹Mr_Deadpool›
i was on Safari 10.2.1 at the time - now on Stainless Shuriken says "reduces health" - perhaps bug thru different browsers - Cab browser all shows Shuriken: "reduces health"
‹Tchalvak›
Shuriken says "reduces health"
‹Tchalvak›
I only get that for Caltrops.
‹Mr_Deadpool›
P.p. reduces turns ... simple
‹Mr_Deadpool›
Inventory> Shuriken: reduces turns (item description)
‹Mr_Deadpool›
Inventory> Phosphor Powders: "burns fiercely" (item description)
‹Mr_Deadpool›
awhole lot easier*
‹Mr_Deadpool›
i realize you told me how busy and tied up you've been lately otherwise I would have suggested a complete re-write - awhile lot it easier than having to sort through everything
‹Tchalvak›
That stuff is not easy enough to debug when it breaks currently.
‹Tchalvak›
Looks likely that I'm just going to have to do a full rewrite of the resurrect/poison/heal/turn gain timed code, still.
‹Tchalvak›
(as the healing and resurrection happens over time, and then the hack fixes health after them)
‹Tchalvak›
:p
‹Tchalvak›
We'll see if the fix holds.
‹Tchalvak›
Sweet.
‹Mr_Deadpool›
http://www.shadowville.com/124471/genres/rnb-beats/love-letter
‹Mr_Deadpool›
seems to be working ok, Tnx Tch-
‹Tchalvak›
For now I've increased the frequency of the health fix and turned back on the heal/turn gain scripts.
‹Tchalvak›
Yeah, it was a problem with turning off the timed scripts to prevent the level 1s from healing or resurrecting to 5000hp
‹Mr_Deadpool›
turns are not replenishing - for 2 days now turn count is not increasing with time .. fix needed
‹Mr_Deadpool›
it*
‹Mr_Deadpool›
... seems like if this was a tug boat is would have sunk along time ago .. so many holes to "patch" up .. cold steal does not function correctly and gives invalid target after 2 attempts on target
‹Tchalvak›
Well, a temporary patch.
‹Tchalvak›
Ok, trying out a new fix for the 5K+ resurrection bug.
‹Mr_Deadpool›
v @Tch-
‹Mr_Deadpool›
even now with the temporary every 2 day resurrect they've still resurrected with over 5K+ health..
‹Mr_Deadpool›
fix the problem with resurrects at 5K+ health ..
‹Tchalvak›
Ho ho ho
‹Mr_Deadpool›
In the end, to gain all, you have to risk all. Or more.
‹Tchalvak›
Well, it'd be good to show turns on the main page all the time anyway, probably.
‹Tchalvak›
*nods*
‹Mr_Deadpool›
while expending mushrooms instead of showing your current health why not have it show the players turn count (in real time)
‹Tchalvak›
Hey
‹JaymanMatthews›
Hi! I'm new here.
‹Tchalvak›
Probably. For example I added a lot of links to map locations that eventually will have to go away, but for now don't need to. Anyway, do you have an example?
‹Mr_Deadpool›
a lot of the same information or links on the supposed different pages
‹Mr_Deadpool›
this layout is very redundant
‹Mr_Deadpool›
* burps * <-;,...,;-> just finished the list
‹Mr_Deadpool›
v functions ::: "bugs" needing of corrective implementation (fixes)
‹Mr_Deadpool›
firebolt, Stealth attack, on the item use page: amount of time should be displayed and the amount of turns as inventory mushrooms are used should display, compared to "flying blind"
‹Mr_Deadpool›
while your at it - include fix for zombies not to resurrect with 5K+ health
‹Tchalvak›
Set up the temporary refresh fix to run once every 2 days (at 1-am-ish)
‹Tchalvak›
I guess I'll put the temporary fix on a timer for now.
‹Tchalvak›
(I really gotta fix the auto-refresh. :p)
‹Tchalvak›
Refreshed.
‹Tchalvak›
Done.
‹viper1993›
hello
‹Mr_Deadpool›
refresh the list
‹Tchalvak›
Ah, yeah, I know that that is, I'll try to fix that up.
‹Mr_Deadpool›
v -- firebolt action link is broken - allows 1st action but subsequent gives this message as it automatically takes you to the skills page .. attempted firebolt on various accounts but same failure occurred ..
‹Mr_Deadpool›
Invalid target [170693] for skill [Fire Bolt].
‹Tchalvak›
To say it again 'cause it's probably a bit lost under the text, class change works as intended again, so good to go there.
‹Tchalvak›
So if you find an out-of-date area of the wiki, feel free to just update it (except things that are bugs, of course).
‹Tchalvak›
As far as the wiki, the point with the wiki is that stuff in the game changes, balance gets modified, new stuff is added, so the wiki may become out of date. It's great to still use it (I'd rather update the wiki than the game faq, much easier).
‹Tchalvak›
Stalk is a skill that results in a status effect until you next die or lose the status. Currently STALKING status increases your strength at the expense of your speed, and a slight decrease in stamina/max health.
‹Tchalvak›
Ki is a special/weird energy resource that you get more of for attacking stronger characters, and less or none of for attacking lower level/weaker characters. You can currently use it to heal, but the intent is to make more skills require it.
‹Tchalvak›
Fixed the bug with class change, & deployed.
‹Mr_Deadpool›
*
‹Mr_Deadpool›
attempted action on varous browsers: Dojo > white monk > change class function is not working .. other words, wont let player change class
‹Mr_Deadpool›
also, explain "Ki" and its use or future use/role... NW 101 0,0
‹Mr_Deadpool›
and btw, the "stalk" action under the "Skills" action link - ..... how do you use it and what does it exactly do .. you know since the wiki isn't to be used or trusted...
‹Mr_Deadpool›
explain "ideally quite minor" .. thereabouts approximation 0,+; if you would be so kind ..
‹Tchalvak›
So there may be some (ideally quite minor) downtime.
‹Tchalvak›
Just FYI, in the near future we will be moving to a new server.
‹Tchalvak›
List refreshed.
‹Mr_Deadpool›
tnx (thumbs up) **
‹Tchalvak›
'tis done.
‹Mr_Deadpool›
when you get a chance ..
‹Mr_Deadpool›
refresh the list
‹Mr_Deadpool›
it took 66 turns - but you return 65 turns and keep the 1 for the action - we can call it even.. ..
‹Mr_Deadpool›
also, I need those turns back the bug cost me with Stealth attack action
‹Mr_Deadpool›
ok ill send you screenshots to the game gmail account (the forums don't seem to be active anymore) - due to the Ninjawars economy being in a depression at this time I'd hate to waste inventory but if its for the greater good sure why not ..
‹Tchalvak›
But both weapons are very random, of course.
‹Tchalvak›
As far as damage, if Phosphor consistently does less damage than shuriken, get me some screenshots of that, 'cause that certainly is a bug.
‹Tchalvak›
It's not an authoritative source.
‹Tchalvak›
The wiki should always be updated to match reality.
‹Mr_Deadpool›
Shuriken: "Causes damage to a target. Damage: 1 to strength." <--- once again direct from the wiki -,-
‹Mr_Deadpool›
v P.p.
‹Mr_Deadpool›
not interchangeable: "Causes damage to a target. Stronger than shurikens. Damage: 30 + 1 to strength." <--- direct from the wiki
‹Mr_Deadpool›
no matter where P.p. are to be "acquired" from - shuriken and P.p. cause the same damage with P.p. even causing less damage at times - these are supposed to be 2 different weapons
‹Tchalvak›
But cheapest.
‹Tchalvak›
Err, not easiest, to get them from the mobs.
‹Tchalvak›
I'm remembering now that that's why the phosphor powder costs so much.
‹Tchalvak›
easiest & best way to get the materials is out in the field, from the mobs.
‹Tchalvak›
....discount store, you know?
‹Tchalvak›
The shop is essentially a convenience store, not a...
‹Tchalvak›
(that applies to most of the items)
‹Tchalvak›
Right, the reason that phosphor powder is so expensive is because you're not supposed to buy it at the shop.
‹Tchalvak›
Why, though?
‹Mr_Deadpool›
*
‹Mr_Deadpool›
Phosphor powder either needs to increase in damage (not to the wallet) offensively or be brought down in price - i s'pose one could just opt to not purchase an instead purchase just shuriken bu thats besides the point
‹Mr_Deadpool›
Fire scroll: Phosphor Powders -,- sure
‹Tchalvak›
The stealth attack thing, yeah, I gotta log and fix that.
‹Tchalvak›
I assume you mean what is phosphor powder now?
‹Tchalvak›
Eh?
‹Mr_Deadpool›
action: stealth attack - <> - "ninja" has entire turn count depleted upon performing this action < requires fix ..
‹Mr_Deadpool›
[ /damage :: :: offensive alt> 50 gold < fire scroll\ end feed]
‹Mr_Deadpool›
train of thought .. perhaps a simple observation: : : no justification fire scrolls should be marked up when they r the same as shuriken - ^ - simple fix
‹Tchalvak›

Ah! Was a problem with the new deployment process, now fixed.
‹Tchalvak›
Buggy, WIP.
‹Tchalvak›
But of course, not on live.

‹Tchalvak›
Hmmm, having an issue with the active chat, click "view ninja chat archive" to use the direct chat box for now.
‹Tchalvak›
Anyway.
‹Tchalvak›
Not that 4 times a second isn't a lot.
‹Tchalvak›
There is a timer, of course, so you can't speed attack too much.
‹Tchalvak›
Hmmm, I'm not sure.
‹Senelcar›
Even the fastest ninja cannot act more than four times a second. :-s
‹Senelcar›
Why the hell can't i hit ninjas ?

ooooo the new layout looks cool
‹Tchalvak›
Mmmhmmm
‹Tchalvak›
Just added a "chat" link in the footer links of the page as well.
‹Tchalvak›
Also, if you click the "view ninja chat archive", that chat is always on/always works even if the dynamic chat breaks 'cause the server restarts...
‹Tchalvak›
due to a server restart, etc.
‹Tchalvak›
It broke for a bit.
‹Tchalvak›
Mmhmmm

I'll make an announcement on facebook when we're back in action.
‹Tchalvak›
But!
‹Tchalvak›
Heh.
‹Tchalvak›
(this is Beagle's fault)
‹Tchalvak›
And also due to there being a major layout-of-the-site refresh waiting on the wings that I haven't fully got through.
‹Tchalvak›
Well, nw is on hiatus from my end due to my new job takin' all my time.
‹Meant4War›
Still dead here....
‹Tchalvak›
Refrarshed.
‹Mr_Deadpool›
not anymore :) perhaps tnx to you, Tch **
‹Tchalvak›
So there's that.
‹Tchalvak›
Deadpool, for example, has a 石5,000 bounty currently.
‹Tchalvak›
The 石 (koku) is defined as a quantity of rice, historically defined as enough rice to feed one person for one year.
‹Tchalvak›
The worst part about my computer slowing down is that when I open a new tab and type stuff, the lag allows me to misspell really badly, arg, detest that.
‹Tchalvak›
Refreshified.
‹Tchalvak›
99% more refreshing.
‹Tchalvak›
Re to the fresh.
‹Tchalvak›
Manually refreshed.
‹Mekrotsidalb›
again... lvl 1 ninjas with 5250 hp
‹Tchalvak›
That is high on my priority list. The new job is just going to delay things after a very active spring/summer in terms of development.
‹Mr_Deadpool›
well tnx .. thats a start now hopefully you can get enough time to fix the cost of attacking and dueling back to 1 turn and 2 turns, respectively.
‹Tchalvak›
Reset healths.
‹Tchalvak›
News on the news page about a hiatus!
‹Mr_Deadpool›
with a strategic aim and patience, my friend.. kill everyone around you -,-
‹Mr_Deadpool›
kill; don't stop killing... become a stone cold killer and let every thing you do in these lands revolve around that purpose till you achieve your goal.
‹Kuroko›
how to get exp??
‹Mr_Deadpool›
* <-;.....;-> *
‹Tchalvak›
Corrected manually.
‹Tchalvak›
That's the bug.
‹Stormy›
Amazeballs
‹Mekrotsidalb›
wow! lvl 1 ninjas with 5250 HP...
‹Tchalvak›
I picked up a new job, so lost all my free time for the next while.
‹Tchalvak›
Yeah, the fix is in a branch, but not deployed yet.
‹Mekrotsidalb›
*2 turns instead of just 1
‹Mekrotsidalb›
it still costs 2 ruens to attack someone, instead of just 1
‹Mekrotsidalb›
Crane is the best class
‹Tchalvak›
Someone is all about the crane classes...
‹Tchalvak›
Hmmm.
‹Tchalvak›
Refreshed.
‹Tchalvak›
Blar, I'll fix this regen bug as soon as I can get time.
‹Tchalvak›
In summary, brainstorming ideas and resurrecting old ideas is well & good, on facebook for brainstorming and github for stress-tested feature requests and bug reports.
‹Tchalvak›
So I def want to move to facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/ninjawars.net/
‹Tchalvak›
and create an account on the forum just in order to discuss a few brainstorm ideas.
‹Tchalvak›
As for the forum, it's kinda dead, and I am of a mind to move towards using the facebook page as the new social discussion place, as it gets people more interested, connects with new and old players, whereas no-one especially wants to have to log in
‹Tchalvak›
https://github.com/BitLucid/ninjawars/issues
‹Tchalvak›
We definitely welcome players to join in the discussion there.
‹Tchalvak›
Well, we're actively developing the game, it's just the conversation has more moved to github where the code is.
‹Blare›
but who am I to say what should be done to your play ground
‹Blare›
if the game cna't be fun without players on all the time create it so that its fun without players and have pvp stay as it is until the community comes back
‹Blare›
say a raid system and a team system. have ninjas be able to joininto a group and then go through areas where you need groups of ninjas to defeat the bosses and design it so that each player has a tun to choose an ation with a count down then based on
‹Blare›
The old forums are filled with ideas - one would be to make the NNPC more rewarding and put the PVP system on the back burner
‹Blare›
why not revamp it and try to get a community back
‹Blare›
question for you tch, i know this has always been a side project and programing takes time
‹Blare›
lol to bad id like that black hole to revers polarity and expand back into the white hole we had
‹Tchalvak›
On clear nights you can see them, rolling through.
‹Tchalvak›
They bunched up too much, achieved critical mass, died, and became a black hole.
‹Blare›
what ever happened to the masses
‹Blare›
that use to play this game?
‹Blare›
wow this place hasn't changed much
‹Tchalvak›
Manually regenned players.
‹Tchalvak›
***regen, that is.
‹Tchalvak›
Damn, regents amounts got skewed again.
‹Tchalvak›
I'm messing around with fixes for regen.
‹Tchalvak›
That's right, I took down github with my commit speed, so it might be a little bit. :p
‹Tchalvak›
Ya
‹Tchalvak›
Slowly turning the time-based functionalities back on.
‹Tchalvak›
Mmmhmmm, well, I'm working on the resurrection stuff.
‹Mekrotsidalb›
it looks like a ghost town... am I playing Ninjawars or a zombie based one instead?
‹Tchalvak›
Mmmmmore resurrectioning.
‹Tchalvak›
manually resurrectioned.
‹Tchalvak›
AAaaaaaaaaaand we're back.
‹Tchalvak›
I am currently updating the server, so expect a little rockiness.
‹Tchalvak›
Resurrectioned.
‹Tchalvak›
I'm just going to be manually adding to turns from time to time while the revive/turn/etc addition system is buggy/not running.
‹Tchalvak›
All active players, that is.
‹Tchalvak›
Manually gave all players 300 turns.
‹Tchalvak›
I'll log that as a bug and get it fixed.
‹Tchalvak›
Hmmm, yeah.
‹Mekrotsidalb›
now attack needs 2 turns, and dueling 3
‹Tchalvak›
It's like a zombie show up in here, with inactive characters coming back to life, and mutants regenerating to weird fleshy levels.
‹Tchalvak›
Notably, that also means that all "regen" is turned off.
‹Tchalvak›
So that'll keep people from reaching redic. health levels until I can get it fixed.
‹Tchalvak›
I turned off the "update" scripts for now, since they're being buggy.
‹Tchalvak›
Healths updated.
‹Tchalvak›
Family arrived for the weekend.
‹Tchalvak›

looks like the last group to revive is back down to 200 - way to work
‹Tchalvak›
Maybe fixed, for some reason inactive pcs started showing up?
‹Tchalvak›
Hahah, well, I had to update and do stuff with the new regular updates, let me see what I can do about this, uh, bug.
‹Over_Medicated›

‹Tchalvak›
Stealth isn't that good of a thang.
‹Tchalvak›
Probably add other defenses.
‹annihilate›
As it stands, Tchalvak, Stealth isn't at all powerful - I think if you wanted appropriate defense, it needs to be powered up. If that is your desire, anyhow.
‹annihilate›
Then the changes won't matter. As long as the clever players can adapt, they'll always be on top.
‹annihilate›
As for you and dead being better than everyone else no matter what - I don't understand why there is a "then what?". If your boasts are accurate, then doesn't that just mean you are cleverer, or more skilled? It's bound to happen regardless.
‹annihilate›
Evil ways? Autoing? I was always upfront about when I did it, and it wasn't often at all. The funny thing is, Tchalvak implemented effective safeguards against it, and despite that, I was still using you all as my toilet paper. :)

I mean, account info stuff, changing of passwords, email, account deletion.
‹Tchalvak›
Fixed account problems.
‹Tchalvak›
Not sure that it'll have the intended effect, though.
‹Tchalvak›
I mean, I could turn down the resurrect rate right now.
‹Tchalvak›
It's actually only a co-incidence that you and I are on at the same time.
‹Tchalvak›
...until I help make it so that players are on & playing at the same time, you know?
‹Tchalvak›
That's the thing though. Fixing the times when multiple players are on at once and are attacking each-other isn't really a problem...
‹Over_Medicated›
make it turn based like an rpg - one clan member can attack one different clan member only - then cant attack again till every one else goes? thatll even it up....
‹Over_Medicated›
you know i love this game - would be here a decade in if i didnt - and like i said - whatever you do ill play, and ill figure out a way to get better at whatever you set up - and me and dead will still be better than every one else - then what??
‹Tchalvak›
Plan is to work on a facelift for the site in April, then combat all month in June. Etc.
‹Tchalvak›
That is the current development gameplan, by the way.

‹Tchalvak›
Probably one solution is having attacks never be free any more. E.g. If I attack you with a shuriken, you should attack back in a duel, I shouldn't just get a free shuriken off.
‹Tchalvak›
But defense against a group is probably always going to be very difficult. The only true way to do it is stay dead strategically, since that and "stealth" are the only true defenses around.
‹Tchalvak›
I mean, there may be problems to solve when that happens, lots of problems since the game has no real concept of defense
‹Tchalvak›
But when was the last time you were actually attacked by multiple people at once at all?
‹Tchalvak›
I mean, possibly a part of the whole problem is that to level one must kill other ninja, there is no other way to gain xp. So if you come on and attack other ninja and someone else is too, you immediately compete for resources.
‹Over_Medicated›
- get the four per second - but what happens at 2 per quarter or three in less than half - still stops me - then you die
‹Over_Medicated›
3 will die - seven would tell me no
‹Over_Medicated›
i could kill an entire page of the list before jokers auto got me - i could nuke him with a dim and get back down before he got me too - then the speed limiter camme - if i tried to kill ten people as fast as i could...
‹Tchalvak›
But I kinda doubt this is related to the problem. There are symptoms and then there are underlying causes.
‹Tchalvak›
I'm on mobile, so it doesn't exactly count, but it took me like 20 seconds to type out this chat. That's (at 3 per second) still 60 attacks that I could have received in this time.
‹Over_Medicated›
and that was ok too - because it forced us to find away to get faster - and we did
‹Over_Medicated›
when there was no limit to attack speed we forced people to find ways to cheat
‹Over_Medicated›
2000 attacks in ten minutes is cool - unless your fighting a clan like vory where you better be able to hit four guyr in a second if you want to stay alive passed that second
‹Over_Medicated›
the only way to beat a higher level is to be better aka faster - muscle memory reflex and technique - whats the point in leveling the power and hp if the fact that im faster than you isnt allowed
‹Over_Medicated›
i guarantee i can fire off more than four attacks without an auto - i thought that was part of the "skill" difference you eluded too - if the fact that im faster than you makes the game unfair - then get faster - dont take away my ability to fight
‹Over_Medicated›
and seriously if i go to attacks in a row to quickly it has always shut down on number three - and by the time you reload past that screen - your dead
‹Over_Medicated›
right i feel you - but not to be a dick - when is the last time you tried to go at a guy like dead on the list?
‹Tchalvak›
I suspect the problem lies more with timing. As in: at one point, resurrects would happen at a certain time (half-hour or hour) so everyone would get on at that time and interact.
‹Tchalvak›
But this is a good discussion, I just don't think it's exactly the -right- one.
‹Tchalvak›
Doing the math, that is about 200 attacks per minute that are still possible, 2,000 per ten minutes.
‹Tchalvak›
I suspect you just get annoyed from seeing the message, it's not actually a practical limitation. After all, the speed limiter kicks in at MORE THAN 4 ATTACKS PER SECOND.
‹Owlet›
see that's why ninjawars was so fun back then lol xD
‹Over_Medicated›
lol
‹Over_Medicated›
really though - i dont care what you do - just do it quick i tired of not having any one to kill
‹Over_Medicated›
take away the speed limit and it will even itself out
‹Over_Medicated›
thats what made the playing feild so damned lopsided - it wasnt the hp or the power or even the jitsu - it was the fact that you cant kill people fast enough to stop from getting smoked if you werent strong enough - take away the speed limit and it w
‹Over_Medicated›
lol - no*
‹Over_Medicated›
the problem was anni teaching every one his evil ways - then the speed limiter showed up - which kills the ability to take out higher levels with multiple attacks - or to clear the pages like we used to - every other attack would tell you know
‹Over_Medicated›
you can put every one at zero - give every one the same stats - and do whatever else you can to lvl the feild - me and dead will still kill every one and jump to the top - its a skill thing - the hp and power are just perks
‹Over_Medicated›
maybe put a level cap - where you cant step to the big boys until lvl 20 or so? or 50 or whatever
‹Over_Medicated›
i dont think the levels or hit points are the problem - not once you know how to play
‹Over_Medicated›
my bad meant - didnt mean to leave you out of my rant lol
‹Owlet›
OTL
‹Tchalvak›
Allllllllllright, I'm heading out for now.
‹Owlet›
