Ascended Technology Area? ( Title Changed )

Coming to a Cosmos near you...

Well it has been for a while. Just a couple of thoughts

If turns were traded it would mess up Ascended server and have a major impact. The stronger players could effectively buy turns mass away defences in a teamlike fashion and then raid planets effectively destroying accounts

I would like to see Cosmic trade in physical realm bonuses. You give up some of your ascended realm life force to buy bonuses in the main game in various areas.
An example could be Cloaking technology for MS so that can increase/decrease damage

NO to any other kind of market.

Main is already unbalanced. A scheme which feeds bonuses into main would mean more activity on ascended which would be a good thing without impacted on the ascended server.

Trade in Turns would I agree totally destroy the ascended game

Anything more constructive to discussion than a simple no would help. This is an area to float ideas. If you do not like then please discuss why rather than a simple no. Like my other thread about duels it is to thrash out ideas so that we can discard the ones which players think are rubbish.

I am simply trying to encourage players to at least play ascended. At the moment there are too many barely active accounts. If players could see an advantage say bonuses in main over an above ascension bonuses they might actually participate.

this would only unbalance the game, stronger would get stronger and the weaker couldnt afford to buy on the market nothing. With the market also PPT would come, so I think ascended server is just cool as it is NO market, NO PPT.

The way I see ascended is that u have to play clever, to be better, if u want to mass some1 u have to really have a big problem with that guy, cause it would cost u a lot, since u cant buy another turns

and ther u have another option>>> u can buy DMU with cross server trades... so I think this is already enough for the trades

I actually agree from the point of view of influence on ascended. I think Cosmic Trade should not unbalance this server like it has in main.

What I am really talking about is cross server benefits above the ascension bonuses this would encourage people to actually play to benefit Main. In no way would I want Cosmic Trade to include PPT or Turns as this has severely unbalanced the main server.

My Idea would be say
Defence Tech Levels 1-20 ( Each giving say 2% Bonus to main)
MS technologies Level 1-20

Bought with Life force getting exponentially expensive.

Have to say that I like the idea of being able to buy main server improvements. Those of us that play ascention will love that idea, and those that don't will hate it.

I am only in main again to feed my ascension account so it wouldn't effect me either way. I just want more people to have to play the ascension server I feel lonely up here

I don't want to see any form of trading in ascension. Why would ascended beings trade/want to trade?

The idea of ascension is (although alliances from main stick together) that you are on your own - no outside help - except in the form of threats/attacks - therefore your rank/power is down to all your own work and has not simply been bestowed upon you by another player.

I say just scrap the idea of cosmic trade - it's been coming since ascension was introduced - but like I said, why would an ascended being trade?

Agreed.

YES to cashing in power on the Ascended server in exchange for permanent technology on the Main server (technology, not resources). No impact on Ascension what so ever, save adding an incentive to play for those people that only Ascend to improve their Main account.
