You're welcome Mars =P

Also feel free to +rep me as well because i'm a nice guy to do this

+rep was given,amazing video^^

Supporting this.
Its not against the rules,but new rules could be added over time.
I saw way too many uchihas lately.

"XxItachi_Uchiha_xX: ~USES SHARINGAN VISUAL PROWESS ON U BURNS U WITH AMATURE-ASS-YOU~ AHHA UR DEAD xD :3"

So you met that guy aswell...

Its not needed,but i also dont see any negative points about it.
It doesnt need a lot of work and would surely make people happy(at least the ones who like that kind of stuff),while not really bringing any negative aspects on the table,since there wouldnt be a reward that non-married people would miss out on.
Just a optional thing.
Personally,i dont care much about this,a marriage can easily be organized via RP.
But i still wouldnt say no to a marriage system.

Welcome,samurai.

Your story is one of the few,i was actually reading till the end,i really like it.
Not too OP,not too boring,with a dark and somewhat realistic touch to it,without beeing too edgy.
Would love to see more!

Im very sure that the gameplay will be slower later,and there will also be a soft-lock system so you can target opponents easier.
This should be very useful for melee combat.
But still,SLO will be much faster than most other mmo,s.
And it will be based on a anime.
That means,fast and stylish looking attacks.
Directional combat is normally used for realistic/historical/slow combat.

Mount and blade:Slow movement,historical and realistic theme,not a mmo.
Gloria victis:Medieval and realistic theme,slow movement.
Mortal online:Slow movement,low fantasy with the focus on realism.
For honor:Combat is a bit faster,but the movement is still very slow,has a realistic and(partly)historic background,isnt a mmo.

Do you see what i mean?
I cant think of a single mmo that is based on a anime,and has directional combat.
Anime combat is more about running at your enemy and seeing some flashy attacks or counters.
Not sitting back and making slow,direction based attacks,observing your opponent while slowly circling around......that sounds more like something out of a knight based movie.
Combat itself should be based on muscle memory and reflexes,i think.
The tactical part comes into play,when you decide when to use what attack/jutsu and how you could combine them,or how you could trick your opponent.
Adding directional attacks and blocks,would make the combat even slower and boring.
Too much thinking,not enough action going on.
And that wouldnt be right for a game that is based on naruto.
Yes,there are often long breaks and they talk and talk and talk.....But when combat finally starts....


Thats a taijutsu battle,but i think kenjutsu should work in a similiar way.
The last thing that comes to my mind when i watch a fight like this,is directional blocking or attacking.

I think that a system,similiar to rakion,would be the way to go.

There are basic combos,Sprint attacks,jump attacks,a grapple,and a special attack-combo.
You can block,but its not direction based.
The thing is:you can only block basic combo,s/sprint/jump attacks.
A special attack-combo and a grapple,are unblockable and if you block normal attacks,you can get knocked back while blocking.
Its fast,it looks great and it just feels awesome.

We should also not forget that SLO isnt based on kenjutsu,there are other fighting styles aswell.
Kenjutsu users shouldnt have to go trough a,,directional attacking and blocking''system,while all others dont have to do this.
I also dont think it would work out well with the controls.

Nice to see you here mattson,glad you found the time to make a thread aswell.

@Manuster
Mattson,s story allready began way before he joined SLO.
Dragons are just part of that.
While i must agree that this story doesnt really get along well with the theme of SLO,i must also say that i have seen worse on the forum.

Well,you DO have to start somewhere.
Im not sure if you can start in the village,but i think it will be possible.
You will have trouble to stay in that village,though.

No we aren't a rogue org

Really looks like one though:
