I’ll try to set up some kind of a “welcome back!” Party/event once I am able to get the bug fixed, and reach out to top leveled players to invite them back.
Dang, I think I have discovered a bug with password authentication and reset, unfortunate. I’ll have to work on that because older accounts are likely unable to reset their password and get back in.
It shouldn't have done that, but for some reason the password hashing algorithm was not coded the same via the database against the same password hashes.
Also! I apologize, but I think that the latest database upgrade reset passwords across the board. They are stored unretrievably, but after the database upgrade on 9/29/2024 for people to get back in may require a password reset.
In the future it would be nice to have defensive strategy of whatever kinds (e.g. using items to protect and defend against attacks), so I want to move more towards making “duel” the default, but for now there is still the option to “strike”
Well, in the meantime, for something different, I’m trying to think up a mascot for Ninjawars, something that I can use to represent the game as a whole
Yeah, clan cleanup on solo clans (there were a bit too many solo clans hanging around, I only allow them because obviously for the first day or while every clan is a solo clan, but the intention is for clans with 1 member not to continue to exist
The working in the field is meant to not be a good trade-off of time for money intentionally. It’s actually possible I should decrease the money gain there even more. Bounties, other PCs and NPCs like the merchant are meant to be more bang for
adjust stats so using different weapons has more of a roll, shurkiens vs red ninja does more dog than vs blue but least to black. something to that effect
make it worth while to kill monsters for drops other than thrives and samurai for that juice scroll he may give you but have one if them drop a mushroom
this would make it so new players could get money to start but not want to rely on working even if they could get up to say 150 per turn cus killing a merchant is better but could end up killing you
it would be nice to change up how certain areas worked, for instance going to work in the fields has never made sense for the cost to gain ratio, but if you made it so that the more you worked the more per turn you would get and cap it out
good lord, 15 years ago and this wasn't even my first account. to bad the mechanics haven't been improved to much. same old grind for no real reason. just nostalgia for what use to be a bping chat room with a basic ninja game attached to it.
quick question: (assumption) collecting enough shell fragments could potentially be used to build the famed turtle shell of lore.. ive defeated the samurai endless amount of times and have yet to collect on a turtle shell ...
A few updates incoming. Expect downtime for the next 5 minutes as I upgrade the database. Also, I am moving the whole site over to https, so expect the regular url to start redirecting to: https://www.ninjawars.net in the near future. : )
That was me. We had some spam signups, so I had to deactivate a lot of those random bot accounts, and then reactivate others. I know it’s weird having everyone back as like zombies. 🧟♂️
A bit of prototyping a new map: https://www.facebook.com/100063969463901/posts/pfbid0217YEZqZwFX5HUdMc7N36XHNHgHVLhNBB4m7s313opMAWvS5jDnTSwJi4cThZyumCl/?mibextid=cr9u03
Well, I plan this weekend to do some cleanup, fix signup so we can get new players back in, and maybe I'll get time to do some more changes as well, we'll see.
Have to essentially rip out the old email system and replace it with a new one, and it's been taking me weeks, but I finally got maybe halfway through it this weekend.
Currently I'm trying to fix some major bugs that are preventing new players from coming in, so I can then ramp up some new player recruitment, but it's a killer of a problem, so it's slow going.
Idk if I've ever typed in this chat. But I signed up to this game 13 years ago and it keeps popping up in my head as a nice piece of nostalgia. There's a comfort to it
I can see "upcoming changes" in all 5 browsers ... usually if there a feature i cannot see its on the stainless browser but even there its showing .. hope this helps
Bright side is, ibfeel good and have some of the craziest pics youll ever see. Catheter with two hises in my jugular amd now the one in my gut. Science is fuckin crazy
Im still in the fight. Got my new stomach catheter. Its weird as fuck. Theres a hise that comes out of my stomach and i have to fill upnwith some flyid amd drain it repeatedly all day. But im feeling better every day.
I just wanted to stop by and tell you guys in case i so coming by. It's been like a decade of fun with ninja wars. I appreciate it so being up. I'll keep checking in as things progress. Hourly i get out of here soon
By the way, recruiting of newbies is paused for a bit until I can get this email and signup upgraded & fixed up, then there will be “weekend spikes” of incoming people after that.
Well, what happened is that messages used to just be text, so any old text string could be put in there, but then it got attached to names for some reason, so we don’t get the “from no-one” events any more.
when someone attacks or fire bolts or poisons someone elsein "Stealthed Ninja" mode .... Do Not have there handleright next tothe message .. defeats the purposeofattacking from the Shadows/ in wanna be "Stealthed Ninja" mode
the way this website is set up is once you load the website then everything is loaded together... if I wanted to refresh the page I would have to manually click the refresh button
so what im taking about is when you kill someone then you click back (to go back to the previous page)... it still shows that they are full health because the page does not refresh on every click
