Not a long time ago, we all acknowledged that Kage Bunshin was indeed coming to SLO.

Now, an important attribute of Kage Bunshin. We all know that Naruto learned and mastered his jutsu in short time periods because his Kage Bunshin let him gain more "experience" and he mastered in days what should've taken years.

I think this should take part of Kage Bunshin in SLO.
A normal shinobi may summon up to 3 Kage Bunshin. So, after you summoned the Kage Bunshin you can order them to mimic what you do and then train the specific skill that you want to "boost" with these Kage Bunshin. After training or exhausting all your chakra, the Kage Bunshin vanish and an extra experience in gained for whatever you were doing.

I find this suitable for mastering element chakra techniques or very advance jutsu that require alot of time.

Hey amigos!

Since the game is slowly coming, I don't to waste time thinking too far ahead, so, why not help with what's currently being develop?
I know User Interface is currently under development and usually not a problem since it might be a simple idea, now, I know so far SLO's current UI is not "very" complex, but it's obviously one of the first and most important elements of any game. But it's also true that UI has a lot to do with the whole beauty of the games. That's why I dug up a little bit on internet and found people claiming and comparing UI of different MMO's.

I will only discuss the customization and layout of the UI, not any other display (char inventory, jutsu tree,etc).

In General, most gamers want a clean, stylized and clear User Interface, they don't like to see their display full of unnecessary crap, even if it is customizable or removable, the default is very important.





The character overview of the UI usually contains the very basic information of the character and the char pic. Since players have many different likes, many games have the char overview on the bottom center or the top left. As the two images below.


In this part, we will most likely have 2 bars, plus the stamina which I believe to be different. The char pic at the left on a circle frame, with a general level or ranking(if to be an addition) at the left bottom of the circle frame.
 
The two types of info given in the bars could in numbers, percentages or both:


Sometimes stacked boosts, buffs, poison/bleeding icon,etc are shown below the bars such the ones in the pic below...



The famous minimap mostly displayed on the right top or right bottom, with zoom in and out,etc. The player is the point or arrow on the center of the minimap. The minimap may be detailed or made out of geometric figures. Buildings and other players may be displayed as points, geometric figures, icons or with names. The default size of the minimap may be medium-small but still customizable.


Tera's HUD is pretty interesting, it has a navigation map on the top right that maps the nearby players and enemies, and shows north to somehow locate yourself to not get lost.


BUT! the UI also includes a transparent map that only shows roads, and the name of the nearby buildings with names or icons. the second map can be hide so it doesn't bother but although the second map is bigger it doesn't really bother the player's view since it's transparent.






ChatBox!! well, what is a MMO without social interactions? A transparent or low-opacity medium-sized box on the lower-left side of the UI with show/hide capabilities and obviously scroll up and down. Marvelous ability to write while running, which I know it's already ingame.
The ability to talk only  your organization, private or public.




I don't have the image of the SLO's lastest UI design, and I don't remember very well how it was organized, but I do know! that the middle menu, which most of the time contains options, inventory, skills, guild is very much positioned on the top center or bottom center. The buttons shown may be optional shortcuts or preset in the UI, in other words, these may or may not be removable, replaceable or movable. 





I know, I know, jutsu are created with hand seals, why do I need hotkeys then? well, remember there is more than hand seals. From bandages/herbs to cure yourself to taijutsu attacks and combos/special attakcs. Also there may be some jutsu that do not require hand seals. Well, I believe this can be solved with HOTKEYS! The lastest design of the UI didn't include hotkeys, so this is totally a suggestion!!. What's also included along is the famous different sets of hotkeys for different situations.




This is something many MMO's have to check the current tasks/missions without having to open the complete quest window. This portion placed in the right-middle of the UI,which may show the current quest given by the kage or the org leader.

Name: rayzote
Age:17
Gender:Male
Height:5' 8"
Weight:120 lb
Hairstyle: Spike
Facial hair:None
Hair color:Black
Eye color:Brown
Blood type: Unknown
Primary chakra nature:Earth Release
Village: Hidden Forest
Clan:Ookami Clan
Organization: Katakiuchi
Good or evil at heart?: Good

Description of the character's personality:  rayzote is a very charismatic person who wants to be a skillful shinobi, his determination will unleash the real power of such fighter. A not so honest path is the one that he's chosen, as a rogue ninja he will join a rogue organization to follow an outlaw way to live to destroy such corrupt ruling system embracing SLO World. Building his way up to the hall of fame among ninjas he's hoping to sometime take leadership in his own organization or lead people to a peaceful world without corrupt leaders.

Description of the character's history: [--Working on it--]

If i'm not mistaken, council will be implemented in the villages' ruling system, correct me if i'm wrong.

If i'm right I think the Village Council should include the leader of the most powerful clans affiliated to the village,  since they're affiliated, they'll matter what is good for the village. Perhaps voting for council every certain amount of time, which would be the leaders of different clans, since every leader shows obviously leadership*, bravery and sense of choices. Because the game will not start off with lots of active clans, it might as well, this may not be a good idea. I don't know if every village will have different ruling systems, so this may not apply for every village. I see this as a good idea also because it might be a way to gain loyalty between different clans and create new allies.

Maybe Most Powerful clans also might not be a good idea, for the reason that the clans will always be the same at the top of the mountain, and this could lead to cracks along the path; traitors and corruption. But that all would depend on the ones that vote.

Hey I was just wondering what is the difference between the clan and the organization in the game, since in Naruto I can see differences, like for example take Itachi, he was from the clan Uchiha, but he's organization was akatsuki , but in the game clan and organization seem very alike.
Is the clan much more like just a watermark in the player? or will it be like a guild just as the organization?
BTW.... What would happen if like: Uchiha clan is affiliated to the Hidden Leaf, rayzote leaves the village as a rogue and get in akatsuki organization. what reaction would happen to rayzote's watermark(clan connection) to the clan or something different if the clan is as a guild.

I don't know if i'm explaning myself, if not, let me know. Thankyou.

You know.......I was wondering about the 2nd windows 8.1 update that's coming next month. blablabla

Then I remembered the next version of windows that's coming next year which I think is fabulous. Microsoft's ambitious is promising a lot into "Windows 9 or Threshold". It is expected that  Windows 9 is to launch in PCs, laptops, tablets and phones that you can buy in April 2015. Something new I read about, it's that the icons in the task bar are interactive, described as 'mini Live Tiles'. There are many other rumored features, but not official at all.



I found some leaked screenshots, I cannot state anything since they're not official, they could be fake.... what you think.... Do you miss the old start menu?






Looks like they're coming in pairs.
 Windows Threshold is promising a lot after the mess that  his buddy Windows 8 caused........Just like Windows 7 and its failed buddy Vista, Microsoft decides to move forward and away from W8 as many say it became a kind of Windows Vista 2.0.


That's all I got right now.......
Thanks for reading...... Tell me what you think........

Like the subject says, Are the villages going to be surrounded by Big Walls like in the anime?
