Features

  • Bingo Book Bounty Location Steam post imagePlayers who reach a set threshold for Ryo now have their locations tracked and visible on everyone's Bingo Books. This is because if you are infamous, you are being watched - always! The threshold is currently 500.

  • Added Keyboard Navigation for Tutorial/Hint windows Steam post imageThe hope is to slowly make playing the game without any mouse inputs possible. From then on, Gamepad integration will be simple.

  • Added Tab Key to change tabs in windows

  • (Admins) Added Minimum/Maximum Level for Top Up Plans This will be used in the near future for level up special top up plans to celebrate reaching each milestone for characters.

Content

  • New Leaf Village Hotsprings

    Glow up by Luhan!

    This is one of the most iconic maps for Nin Online for me. It was one of the first maps I ever designed for the game and I always envisioned it to be a nice spot to chill out with your friends in. Now it actually is! You can read the 2013 development log where it was first shown off here!

Balance

  • Shirokata Damage reduced from 47 to 39

    Shirokata Strength requirement reduced from 85 to 75

    Shirokata now grants +2 Chakra

    Shirokata was in a weird place. The idea of the sword was to be used on hybrid builds but its stat requirement was too high for them, limiting its overall viability

  • Iron Scythe Base Damage increased from 39 to 47

    Iron Scythe Strength requirement increased from 75 to 85

    Replaces Shirokata as decent mid tier weapon option for High Strength builds.

Changes

  • Added Textured Background and added different colored borders for different villages to Player Info Menu Prev. Right-click Menu Steam post image

    This texture will be customizable in the future!

  • Improved Day/Night Overlays Night darkness is slightly toned up and god rays now use the color of the sky and don't muddy graphics behind it.

  • Improved Styling of Bingo Book/Bounty UI Lots of small tweaks and styling improvements to Bingo Book UI

  • Avatar Maker now closes with Escape Key

  • (GMs) Better responsiveness for Warning/Report Log actions

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where Notifications could refuse to render when multiple are displayed

  • Fixed a bug where Notifications could cause issues with other UIs

  • Fixed artwork of Mist Headbands (by Genshin)

  • Fixed styling error with Achievements Window

  • Fixed crashing issues with Hint window and Game Guide and restored Game Guide's videos
