So yeah, can we get that in?

So make it an x weeks drop of a single ascension level. During the first x week(s), you cannot get descended again, and after that you can. Well-timed coordination can knock you down 5 levels, tops. After that you keep returning to the previous level by the time your opponents descend you again.Duderanch wrote:No. Descension was never meant to be a permanent thing, that shouldn't change.

Hence why I suggested 'automatic re-ascension' after a set period of time. No true ascension, just ascLvl=ascLvl+1.Sarevok wrote:I support the idea. But consideration needs to be made, to now have people loose their investments upon re-attaining that level (in essence, not loosing covert levels from "ascending" and the like)
Mister Sylus, this would replace the descension penalty, making it LESS painful. Obviously removing 1 ascension level would have no effect at all if you have no Ascended bonuses to begin with (current descension penalty).Sylus wrote:...I enjoy hypocrisy as much as the next guy.
"MAKE SABBING LESS EFFECTIVE! HELP SMALLER PLAYERS YEAH REBALANCE THE GAME!"
"MAKE DESCENSION DO MASSIVE THINGS TO PEOPLE'S ACCOUNTS! PUNISH THE WEAK! GIVE A MASSIVE ADVANTAGE TO PEOPLE WITH HUGE ASCENDED ACCOUNTS!"
Solid logic.
So...to the original idea; are we ignoring what happens to an accounts stats when it ascends? Lowering a level/forcing a reascension will wipe Covert levels, tech, etc.
To subsequent suggestions by Juliette et al; existing situation of losing AB, losing covert power, and moderate stat levels on descension is already a pretty big (read: irritating) deal. And in a game like this, the existing two week period is already MASSIVE. This forum makes that argument better than I can. Memories here range between 1 day and 12 years.
I look forward to watching this game break, should be a hilariously stupid ride.
