Oh wow. A company thinking about money, how dare they.

More seriously the game was fine before they brought Susanoo shisui's bt's in, no new f2p nor p2w matters in a shisui dominated world.

So now it's all about power creeping, power creeping is f*cking boring and everyone except Oasis staff know it.

If you play smart your Fuko complaint is a bit embellished, it would take ~55 weeks or just barely over a year to farm 110k cp as a f2p ignoring the worst cp events ~48 weeks with them, that isn't the worst server loyalty benchmark, in exchange for not being a server hopping clown or whaling/supporting the game you get a bit of a power boost.

That "They don't value the players, they don't care about our opinions" Bit while it holds some truth Is shortsighted, if it's just a few players or a small minority it's treated with the same "we'll fix it, we'll vote on it, we'll talk about it blasé response that answers your questions but means nothing. It took a massive outcry from the playerbase to mitigate the last anti-player change, and guess what... they lost staff and players en-masse around the issues after they relented anyways so it was all for naught and only annoyed Naruto Online's parent company, They were taught to be cautious about dealing with player requests after that.

Embellished? you yourself say that it will take you 55 weeks. why do i have to waste 1 year on this * game to get a normal ninja? yes, they just rob people of money. If you play for 1 month, you will understand everything, but you are telling a story. every week they supposedly add something new, but it's just a lie, their goal is to steal money. I have been playing this game for almost 2 years and I already understand that this game is just created to eat people's money and does not mean anything. let's say you collected coupons for 1 year and finally spent it, one thing you forgot is that you will get 3 star ninja but you have to upgrade it to 4 stars and do BT so you have to collect coupons for 1 more year.

dunno, i collected 135k coupons in 1 year, spent them and got 4 star ninja + 300k power increase + some minor ninjas like black zetsu, rage obito.

Was I telling a story? when did I ever say anything about them "adding something new every week"?

If you play for 1 month you will understand everything? been playing since 2017 so going on 6 years now, let me know how much longer till I reach that mythical month you are talking about.

How is 1 year of loyalty to a server unacceptable, it's logic like yours that causes all the new servers to die off within a month or two of their launch.

Noone is denying the game isn't good, it isn't. I even fairly commented that the staff have no idea what players want in the first bit, which they don't.

Noone is denying that the rewards for all the events other than seasonal are a joke, cause they are a joke. You only see the tr*sh ninja in fuko so I can't help you, the power growth items would lessen the s*ck factor if you actually played long enough to value the long game and communities that get formed but you speak as someone that wants to solo and jumps to a new server too frequently to make friends or lacking that rivals, the meta game is the only thing worth enjoying out of this hot mess without it you may as well be playing a SNES or Atari game for a vastly better "game"

I understand that you are saying that this game is good and that I have the problem or that I am an idiot. Anyway, I don't want to talk about this game anymore because I deleted the game and decided not to play it anymore. After watching Kaizer's video about naruto online in 2022, I became serious about my decision. I'm not going to waste enough time on this * game anymore. As Kaiser said, this game is a p2w game. As you say, what can you do in a game dominated by shisui susanoo or other metas? In addition, I think that this game can't balance f2p and p2w, it's more of a p2w game. And nothing changes... It won't change. Anyway, Thanks

It's a lot more fun in cn.

Of course it's a p2w game though, whales will always exist - even if tencent had no intention of making it p2w, there will always be someone willing to spend money to get ahead. That's just how these games are. I find it strange to see people complain about this, 90% of games such as this are p2w and if you don't like it maybe it's not the genre for you.

Company can think about money without going full greed like Oasis. Or at least they could use drop of those money to improve game and not throw same events over and over again with same worthless prizes and without fixing any bugs.

I could live with whales getting things faster and better. It was frustrating, and still is, but I could live with that. However:

- purposfully changing drop rate for reward in event is not ok
- purposefully reducing prizes to nearly garbage level in most events is not ok. Even Fuku was affected below 110k level.

- purposefully changing events to become harder for f2p (and only f2p) is not ok.

Oasis did all that since Infinite Illusion event was introduced. The moment players got more ways to earn coupons, quality of prizes one could get for coupons plummeted and Nature Training as well as Infinite Illusion were "updated" with sole purpose to hinder f2p players and make them frustrated.

Oh, and every single ninja that can as much as scratch Susanoo Shisui golden boy is either paywalled or removed from events.

@Midoriaiya~

P2W - whales get things faster and better, but f2p can get them at some point as well..
Naruto Online: whales get things faster, better and f2p can't get most of the same things.. Example? Recharging used to give you red Quick chakra for 8th gates. Now I can't see that as prize anymore, but can f2p get that chakra? Nope, it is just gone from game.

Infinite Tsukuyomi rebates were the fatal hit and now new server recharge rebates have become the last nail on a f2p's coffin. Most f2ps in the game are oblivious people who know nothing but constantly level up and use every bit of source to update power. Because jumping onto next server and starting over is extra easy. Plus there is no guarantee for taking your time in a server, no matter what you do, what you go through by your own efforts or strat such as collecting, coupon farming, freezing it won't matter at all. the gap is beyond astronomical. so if a f2p wants to play it anyways may the luck be them.

only replying to the first post in the thread: welp the game seems overdone, or feels to me,
but it took a long way to get there, with money or not, more often i should simply say > yes totally p2w catered.
is it still fun for f2p (if you ask me i'd say not really, if you ask those who managed to stay on~ and actually play the events)
(i think they stay because they are suited to grinding long term, and/or they play very casually just to kill some boredom)
is it worth it or fun for me after all this time around 5-6 yrs, the answer is semi-yes,
that it is still worth it even as i continue to log for only 1 min. or just grind to aid f2p when i can ezily.
does the game often frustrate the hell out of people, yea it certainly does, (since the very beginning)
coz there was so much people like abt the game in more ways than one
and wi* could have certain things that seem like it could be even greater XD frm f2p mostly i think but even p2w

anyways enuff said > i managed to make my peace with most part of it after all these time. raging quitting and rinsing the process
i think i wasted a lot of time, more time than money, but idk man, i feel money is not as tangible and impt as time
and most of what i wanted to get out of the game cannot be negotiated well with how time is spent, (in relation to money also spent)
perhaps ultimately, how to enjoy the game lays very much in where your heart lays with many things.
that is, just one way i'd rather look at it from the journey i traveled with my own way of gaming.

Actually, the concept of pay to win does not mean a f2p player can get it - it refers to something that can be obtained faster OR exclusively through microtransactions.

It's in the very etymology of the term, "Pay-To-Win" you pay for an advantage - it does not denote whether such things are available to f2p players, quite simply the concept of paying for an advantage. As for saying red chakra isn't available as a reward for anyone, that's not true at all - it was in the spending rebate.
