Re: 5 month wait.

I think you convinced me the cap is alright atm, just please do not lower it :?

I would love to see ascension getting more depth though, right now once you reach a certain level of fleets/power ups the game becomes atrociously slow.

@juliette

You sure it doesnt make a difference? If you could only do 20trill ascensions, in the end you could max get 460 trill LF out of it, since you would capped then on ascensions.

No, you can still do a 99T ascension, and then spread out the conversions over the time it takes to build up again in Main (about 5 months lazy play). :P You do a 99T ascension, convert 20T directly and each month until you are ready to ascend again, 5 months later. It simply eases your schedule. ;)

Though yes, it does mess with the plan to farm like madmen (like Loki) and get 250/300T per week, to ascend every three weeks with 99T (because 99T conversions can be done an infinite number of times). :) Might level that playing field..

Indeed, consider the cap more of a warning sign then :P. People can be sly about it if they want to.

Also I can't give you an answer to that achievement question, but keep in mind you have the knowledge up to animators, only 3 people have made it that far as of late, so if there does exist a similar challenge you will be waiting awhile to get there ;).

Re: 5 month wait.

So, if this change does happen, would it mean 20T LF/Ascension? Because I would rather have the longer wait period and convert at 99T LF. 23x99T is better than 23x20T. Only getting 20T LF per ascension I think would hurt younger accounts because they cannot get as much LF as the older accounts did and it hurts their ability to play catchup to those who have already finished ascending.

There is no hard 'cap' on the APP per ascension. In theory, you could ascend once with 5M raw UP and spend a few years converting your APP.

So while there is a 'practical limit', there is no hard restriction.

Re: 5 month wait.

Norbe wrote:The update prevents $$ being pumped into a main account, power ascending, and surpassing those who have worked for years in ascended in just a few weeks. It was introduced when someone was trying to do just that, build a high TOC by power ascending a main with massive UPs every 2 weeks.

The current 5 month wait is deemed as fair by admin. 100 tril life force is huge.. that's 1,000 quad DMU, which takes a very long time to farm (i believe admin and SoL estimated it would take an active player around 3-4 month to farm that when they introduced the update), so even with the 5 month wait ascending nearly doubles the rate at which you can boost your ascended.

~Norbe~



Well the problem though is...

One who spends $ can easily buy an account that is 23 times ascended... So they dont need to pump $ into it

Re: 5 month wait.

Blue, buying a level 23 ascended account will never get you an ascended as powerful as you could theoretically build by 23 100T ascensions. :) (Incidentally that is a LOT more expensive, too.)

Most Unknowns have extremely sucky Ascended accounts due to their owners rushing through ascensions at minimal cost. ;)
