acended update

well Ok heres the update

* You can now attack another being each 2.5hours instead of 3 hours (ascended battle - god on god).
* You can now do a maximum of 2/5ths a beings life force reserve max, opposed to a 1/3rd before. (about 20% more possible damage)
* Command star power is multipied by your Physical Realm Attack Power and Physical Realm Defense Power. (well by level over 100)


but what it doesnt say is you now need to be 20 times the defence of the person your decending that is ridicilous sometimes its hard enough to get 10 times it should be reduced back to 10 times

and about the 2/5ths its better but heres the thing Ive decended players who are AG's and higher and havent bothered with there accounts why should they be protected when I have built my account. I mean people with less than 20 power upgrades Im on about here why should it take 9 hours now down to 5 hours to kill someone who hasnt bothered protected themselves?

Re: acended update

well :D this NEW update, it helps you be undescendable. :P
1. well, when it came to lvl's higher than 700 in all defensive, still it's taking days.. so, this is still an issue. :D
2. from 0.333 to 0.4 - So for those with very low lvl - this means they are descend quickly. BUT, in the end, if they don't build, they don't care. So, they won't do it anyway.
3. Who cares about MS? :D I really don't.

So, these updates, are killing again the Ascended server. :D If they are true.

Re: acended update

still..
They are not implemented right now. :D well, at list 1st issue. :P

00:59 - Ascended server time.. :P I was deliver an Ascended Attack:
Both parties are exhausted, these battles being very taxing on ones being. While the battle is now over, it is also not finished. It has will finish in 3 real hours (or 3 eons ingame time). Yes - linear time is one of the things that are left behind in the ascended planes.

Re: acended update

20x defense is fine, mass them first, then descend them, its easy to mass in ascended.

Thats pretty much it.
The updates only lower the time it takes to descend someone, by a little, the undescendables are still, undescendable.
The change from 1/3rd to 2/5th's is yet again pointless, most of the people that you are trying to descend you cant even breach 1/3rd of the life force reserves anyway. If you can well done, you still have to descend them in 3 attacks, and now 7.5 hours.
The command star WTH? ok it needed an update, but now it has the old stats in the command star page, it has steroid infused stats on the realm summary page and when you go to attack it seems to be at its normal?? If so it needs a tad more power than what it has been updated to.

Exactly right. Anyone can set their account to forget by building their personal levels and never have to log in again.

TOC needs to become more powerful and repulsion less effective. Especially when you consider how cheap it is to build repulsion in comparison to MNEC.

I dont think the time between attacks should have been shortened either. I liked that active players just starting out could not be descended in under 12 hours.

Re: acended update

Ok, so, this is the copy of an e-mail I sent to Admin on May 18.

Greetings!

Please forgive my direct approach, but I think this issue is kind of urgent.

It is about descention. You may know that descention is next to inpossible for most people, as becoming 'undescendable' (so having too high anti-descention skills) is just too easy.

For that, I may have a solution. Total Offensive Capacities are calculated something like this:

TOC = 'ascended life force' * (1 + ('attack power' + 'attack skill')/1000 + 'attack power'*'attack skill' / 1000000)

Now, if you modify the 1,000,000 value (in red) to 100,000, then current TOCs will be multipled. In my case, my 1B TOC will go up to 3B+, while an average TOC of 500M will go up to 1600M(ish).

By that, descention will become much more easier, but not too easy. There still will be undescendable accounts, but their numbers will decrease dramatically (less than a dozen, counting current accounts, I think).

And by this, people will be kind of forced to play ascended, unless they are fine with being constantly descended. So by fixing descention, you may revive the dead server of Ascended.

Thanks for reading this. I hope you may find my suggestion productive.

Like I said earlier, Admin should only change ONE digit in the formula to implement a massive increase in TOCs.

For live testing, I think I can convince d347h to temporarily modify the formula in the TOC calc on HU page according to this suggestion, so you will be able to calculate what TOCs would you have if this becomes an actual update.
