RE: Balancing Phase

For transparency, the plan now is that for the next week there won’t be anymore major changes to balance, just small tweaks here and there and fixes.

This will be followed up with a mini survey purely dedicated to balance, asking more in-depth questions than even the usual surveys.

Based on those survey results and observations over the next week, I’ll be making more changes again and expect there to be free stat resets again.

Expect this to repeat again potentially after, until we reach the most balanced state Nin Online has ever seen.

I understand this has been the longest most comprehensive balancing period for the game in years, but this is completely necessary going forward to get the game in a good stable state to then expand on content. I am aiming for the introduction of level 70 level cap raise within the next couple of months.

I appreciate the patience from everyone!

  720 New Units of Player Housing Added Village Inns can hold up to 180 player rooms per floor and one floor has been added to each village for now!

Features

• (Devs) Map Editor Create Brush from Map
  Map Editor now allows for Shift + Dragging on the map to copy the tiles on the map to be used as a brush. Also, improved outlines for tile brushes.

Changes

• Added new swear words to chat filter

• Council Members will now be able to select Kage as long as there isn't one (Pending server restart)
  This is part of an coming feature for performing a coup

• Turning off Dynamic Weather is now deprecated
  Weather does not have a significant impact on frame rate as it did when the feature was added in the old client. Since then, it's just served as a way for players to get more visibility when there is weather effects going on. It becomes disadvantageous to not turn it on for better vision and ruin the game's graphics. It's existence encourages making the game ugly for a PvP advantage.
