First of all, I'd like to apologize for the delay, and even for the time at which I'm releasing this update.
I usually aim to release updates during peak player hours, but my sleep schedule's been kind of messed up lately, so I've been waking up pretty late.
Naruto (S) and Sasuke (S) Reworks:
As I mentioned in the last update, both reworks had been delayed and postponed for this update, the Major Balance.
In fact, I was preparing to release both reworks in this update, but due to some indecision about the final design of both characters, we've decided to delay them once again.
The good news is that they'll be released in a special event within an update focused entirely on them, different from this Major Balance, which includes a large list of changes and other characters that might take the spotlight in the META instead of them.
Current Season:
Also as mentioned in the last update, the Season reset was planned for this update, along with some new changes to the XP system targeted at competitive players (only those above level 36).
However, unfortunately, we'll also be postponing the season reset to the next characters release.
When will new characters be released?:
Character releases and Major Balance updates are both considered 'major updates', as they bring a lot of changes to the game.
Because of that, there will always be a gap of at least 20 days to a full month between one major update and another.
This gap may be longer, but never shorter than 20 days. I believe it's extremely important to give players enough time to adapt to the game's current state before we move on to the next update.
Even so, we'll still have some 'Mid Balance' updates during that period.
New Custom Rank System (Titles):
Soon we'll be introducing a 'Titles' system that will allow players to customize their 'Custom Rank' during matches.
However, we'll be making a few adjustments to how it works in order to preserve the original 'Rank Hats'. From now on, you'll only be able to assign a 'Custom Hat' to one slot on your team. For example, you could have Itachi on your team and give him a custom Susanoo hat.
This will also serve as an extra incentive for casual players who focus on completing missions, since we'll be adding new missions that unlock Titles.
With that said, let's get into the Major Balance.
Balances:
- Major Balance: Demon Brothers, Gekko Hayate, Namikaze Minato, Yondaime Hokage, Hatake Kakashi (S), Yamato (S), Maito Gai (S), Akimichi Chouji (S), Yamanaka Ino (S), Hyuuga Hinata (S), Aburame Shino (S), Inuzuka Kiba (S), Yamashiro Aoba (S), Izumo and Kotetsu (S), Inuzuka Tsume (S).
