Title: Wind
Post by: Kai on May 20, 2015, 06:40:01
I was wondering if the wind could change the direction of a weapon, say if you threw a kunai straight at someone and there was a lot of wind, would the kunai move to the right/left because of the wind?

Woah, that's a pretty damn cool idea :P
Support for this, would be an epic mechanic to have in game!
I'm sure it would be quite far down the line, but still...

It Would make the throwing take some effort and not just snipe people with kunai's hahahaha so yeah I support this idea

And maybe the more you practise with kunai the more it'll be on target because you throw harder and stuff.
You should of put this in the suggestions board.

personally i think this is a tad bit much. i don't think a wind factor should affect kunai's, but i think the more you practice with them the harder they will pierce the opponent and do more damage.

Nah, i don't think it's too much. It would make the game harder i guess, but it would only happen if the wind was strong enough which i don't think will happen a lot. And it would make gameplay much cooler imo, how many mmorpg's have you played that have this feature?

Yeah, can someone move this to the suggestions board pls?

Well if wind would make it harder, many jutsus also like wind jutsus,  or strong enough water/fire jutsu could just stop shurineks etc just like in naruto series. I think that wind would be cool, also players could carry maximum of x items with them, so if someone is bad at shurikens he would fill all his space with them, they should be cheap. Making harder to aim by the wind, would made people practice more and think twice before they will waste their last shurikens/kunai

The terrain/elemental interaction affect on this would be kind of hard to calculate, even for later stage development.

No, not really. The wind can play the role of gravity on X axis with a random value at random times. The speed are numbers like your char has when you are dashing. To calculate the trajectory of the kunai when the wind is "n" (n=wind's speed/ X gravity value) is just pure physics: Oblique projectile formulas. However I don't know how much would such a calculation stress the game.

I do not support this.
What if there's a strong wind coming towards you, and then you throw the kunai and the kunai comes back at you and you die?

Then you're a retard for throwing it in the middle of a hurricane :P

There shall be an indicator that shows the direction and strength of the wind.

You know What Kamikaze was? when Mongolian troops tried to kill Japanese ones with gas, wind just made  that gas turn back onto their own faces and they died. You know that if you Piss into the wind you will not achieve your "targeting goal" or even get pissed by yourself? its pretty normal so most of people dont do it. You wont be a good ninja when you piss into the wind.

Ever wondered why bullets curve a slight when a sniper shoots them in windy conditions? It'll be the same with kunais what is the big deal? And btw the wind can't be so strong that it makes the Kunai do a u turn or even turn 45 degrees.... It will only turn 180 degrees when you are throwing kunais in a hurricane that is right in front of you AND the wind is coming towards you......

Except if someone blows the shit autta ya! with wind jutsu, well kunai isnt turning at you but still... throwing mass of em and getting them in yo face back...its still metal it hurts.

If you're skilled enough you'll be able to dodge them. Fast reflexes.

Why is Kai not voted as most helpful poster this month?

And also Kono...always wondered...who are you mourning in that pic?

As for the actual topic, I think the interaction between jutsu and weapons will more than likely be a late-game thing...so..might want to stop worrying about it (for now anyway).

I think this'd be a great idea. I think in certain environments the wind should change. For example, in the land of snow where wind is an element, there should be high winds in blizzards that divert the path of your kunai

And this would be another advantage of magnet release.
The ability to manuevere your kunai, shurikan or other metal ninja tools through strong winds.

The Hidden Metal village is underrated.

Yes, the mechanics of SLO's shuriken jutsu will allow stuff like kunai to be affected by wind, magnetic forces, etc.
