Quote from Wiki:
Q: when is the next maintenance? By that I mean ninja
Heisenborg: We're planning to push Ninja out on Wednesday morning, normal maintenance time. :) Thats 7/23.
Q: What will happen after the Ninja update is up? I'm assuming there will be some sort of event for it?
Heisenborg: That's right - as some of you expect, there will be a 2x Skill Training event that will run the first two weeks of Ninja. Basically - the best time to start training Ninja talents will be right after launch, during this event. More details on that coming soon. :)
Q: What day is ninja and will nekojima be comeing with it.
Heisenborg: Nekojima island = Doki Doki island, but it's not coming back with ninja talent release I'm afraid.
Q: Will Mabinogi NA ninjas be based as the same stats (Strength and Will) as Japan?
Heisenborg: Yes - Ninja talent focuses on STR and WIL
Q: Are the new skills training requirements going to be long-term?
Heisenborg: I think this question is asking does it take a really long time to train these skills. It's a bit tedious but this week we've actually been talking to the devs about potentially reducing the skill training time and cooldown times for some of the skills. Nothing is confirmed at the moment, but there were some complaints from the JP service we're taking into consideration.
Q: are [Shurikens] counted as one hands or two handed weapons?
Heisenborg: They'll be two handed weapons, you have the Shuriken and the Kunai. There are actually several types of Shurikens, there's the Starblade Shuriken, Spiral Shuriken, and Anju/Hagi versions of the Shurikens. Anju and Hagi are the Ninjas on the microsite btw. The Spiral Shuriken is obtained in-game and for beginners and scuh, the Starblade Shuriken will be during a special giveaway event we're having. That's set up for this coming Saturday currently. And for those of you who live in EU or AU or overseas - that's an all day giveaway event. Meaning log in any time of the day to get the reward (and it doesn't contibute to the Ultimate Reward at th end of the summer). So ya know, better for other time zones :)
Q: What shuriken are we getting from the shadowy talents event?
Heisenborg: This is the Starblade Shuriken. It's actually my favorite currently.
Technical difficulties
Heisenborg: So as I mentioned before the hagi and Anju shurikens are also obtainable. The Hagi Shuriken has a lower attack but higher crit than Anju's and I think I mentioned earlier before tech difficulties - but the ninja is considered a "beginner friendly talent". So you'll see it in the same Talent selection window as Fighter and Close Combat. And it kind of pairs well following our New Beginnings patch. :)
Q: Do two-handed weapon enchants apply to shurikens? i.e. violent, untamed, etc.?
Heisenborg: Yes. :)
Q: is the website ninja characters npc?
Heisenborg: Yep, the male is Hagi, the chick is Anju.
Q: Why would a talent considered the hardest to train be a newbie talent? Sorry if i sound ignorant with this q'
Heisenborg: So it might be a bit extensive to train the talent up (we're working on that) - but the introduction to the game which mixes with the Hagi and Anju NPCs is good for new players. So its good for new players to start with, but not necessarily a "newbie" talent. But also because newbies want to be the naruto.
Q: How many skills are there in total?
Heisenborg: There are 8 skills in total - Shuriken Mastery Shuriken Charge Kunai Storm Shadow Bind Shadow Cloak Explosive Kunai Smokescreen Sakura Abyss
Q: Can we get Hagi's hair and is it unisex or male only?
Heisenborg: The hairstyles will be obtainable as wigs* - and there are different versions. Some are gender locked, but not all
Q: Is there going to be anyway to get the ultimate summer reward if u have only missed one hot time but were online during?
Heisenborg: Unfortunately, you will need to have hit every single giveaway to get the ultimate reward. That won't include the Shuriken we're giving away with the Ninja update, but on the same day (like all the Sats and Suns this summer), there will be the login giveaways you'll need to get. And we know there was an issue with the Commerce Reforging Tool from this weekend. Q.Q We have all the information regarding who should receive the reward - unfortunately there's just going to be a delay in delivering the item. Really sorry about that, seems to have been a mixup in our QA process with that one. We're working on it though and Sabina will keep you all well informed.
Q: Shadow mission often gets "Broken-Legged monsters". Is Nexon fixing this? Cause it's freaking annoying.
Heisenborg: I assume this is related to the "stuck mobs" issue that a lot of us see. It's been difficult for us to nail down what exactly is causing this, but I assure you we're looking into it.
Q: Can customize each eye in the Ninja update?
Heisenborg: ...you can't. >.<

Not sure if anyone cares, here's the notable things I noticed from that. This is in skype format.
[SPOILER="Skype Log"]
- Kapra: "Shuriken Charge" Translating it like that is going to make it sound like its Shuriken's counterpart to Charge, like Lance Charge.
- Kapra: Shadow Assault was renamed Shadow Cloak, that is acceptable.
- Kapra: Hazy Smokescreen was renamed Smokescreen, shorter is better I guess.
- Kapra: Ground Snare>Explosive Kunai, also acceptable and possibly less confusing.
- Kapra: Arcane Sakura Rain/Sakura Shower/Abyss Recall>Sakura Abyss, what?
- Kapra: Shuriken Mastery, Kunai Storm, and Shadow Bind were not renamed.
- Kapra: "The hairstyles will be obtainable as wigs* - and there are different versions. Some are gender locked, but not all "
- Kapra: Wait what, some of the wigs aren't gender locked? I'm guessing they meant the ears?

I literally died at "as because the newbies wants to be the naruto". By dying, I mean, my sides.

Wouldn't it be possible that we might get a naruto crossover? Since I think we got something unoriginal like vocaloid that wasn't in Jp or Kr server.

Sakura Abyss... like they wanted to make it sound more "powerful" but it turned out rather unfitting.
I wonder, is "Anju" a (totally beginner-level) mistake or did they change her name for whatever reason.

So is he saying that the "Starblade Shuriken" will be obtained both from completing the quest where you get 10 fragments AND from logging in on the weekend hot time? Seems pretty redundant and a waste of time.

I find that the Nexon Q&A tend to be unreliable at times. Still, welcome to have some sort of confirmed information.

Couldn't care less about the Ninja crap. But this? I wish they had a more concrete answer...

That definitely struck me as odd. Also Starblade Shuriken than Akatsuki sounds stupid.

Agreed.
Did no one bother to ask about the Shadowy Coupon? And did no one bother to complain about Nexon's constant screw-ups?

Because it is an issue that they don't know the cause of it yet, they can't give a concrete answer.

As I said, that's how it was in JP.

NA didn't get Vocaloid first, JP did. KR got is after NA. (Not sure of CH or TW.)
