You actually can see the evolution of the chinese servers since 2014, the Youtuber Scionstorm, however misguided he is, has been playing the game since before 4.0 changes were implemented in China. Simply go look at this persons earlier videos of Chinese Naruto Online and you can see the missing systems that were not implemented. By looking through the earlier videos of the chinese server, through chinese youtubers and Scionstorm, I established a simili timeline of the game and how it progressed in China vs our own. So I have solid knowledge that this feature is very incomplete in our current version of the game. Germany's version of the game, patch 4.0, does not have any changes pertaining to the skill breakthrough system btw, which is also part of why I created this thread to raise awereness.

I have selected a video link from Scionstorm, all credits to him, to show the early version of the skil lbreakthrough system in china over a year ago. Also you can pay attention to the systems in the game and clearly see the similarities with our version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4B*TgOJtBk&t= (the link I selected does not pass the forums filter because it has two capital X between the B and the T, please add them to the link instead of the *)

You are very right about the longevity part, that is often Oasis' MO and that is why I want the community to push this system harder. I believe it has far more long term benefits to implement more skillbooks now since they benefit somewhat the f2p players in particular. Most of the early skillbroken ninjas don't impact the game in a huge way but some of them can and it would be some added fun in alot of diferent modes of play, eiher pvp or pve.

I am not saying Oasis dont have future plans for this feature, what I'm saying is for the community to push them so we can make it happen sooner, because we can. It is possible, if we want it enough!

So, again, lets go everyone, skillbreaks is the best thing you didnt know you wanted. Come on Oasis, SKILLBREAKs WHERE?!

I was always aware China did things differently th*, but I think it would be detrimental to the game not to add things like the Tsunade npc and the "skillbooks treasure". At the very least, adding meaningful breakthrough ninjas like Itachi, Kurenai (we got her, yay!) and Yamato that have legit impact in the game should be a priority. I dont expect Gaara, Sage Naruto, the 2 Kage super rares and the gold&silver brothers anytime soon, because they are relatively recent additions in China, but the ones I previously mentioned have absolutely no reason not being in the game, they add so many possibilities!

Personnally, I have been waiting for Itachi for ages, hopefully this new trend of adding breakthroughs in pairs keeps happening. This whole thread was started to bring attention to this forgotten system that adds so much richness to the game. Keep pushing threads like these to the top and lets show Oasis we want our books!

"You learn something new everyday". What i meant about Gaara was his most recent incarnation, I didnt know he had an earlier update and I also didnt know Germany had that update. I personnally wouldnt mind getting a stronger Gaara, since mine is sitting at 5 stars in my inventory gathering dust.

There is misinformation about most of the game, Oasis releases things on its own timetable and post absolutely nothing aside from the weekly update. They break up new systems in several pieces to keep things going longer but they dont share much information about the systems or future plans to update them. Getting information from the chinese server is always patchy as it comes from non chinese youtubers, savvy players who grabs info from here and there like I did and people who played on the chinese servers but dont grasp either chinese or english completely. All these people can only convey some information, the task to get everything in a single compedium is pretty big and no one person should be asked to do it alone. The guy who did the translations for the breakthrough skills is a good example, he did a big job and that was only one system. So unless a community effort is made to gather all the information about the game into a single compedium, we are kinda stuck in this "misinformation" you mentioned.
