10 day ppt... why?

Why are we all on ppt for 10 days... doesnt that seem a bit excessive?

Well, i got the whole week off work this week and now i cant play my favorite server. Since main sucks since i cant raid past 75mill and i cant be bothered to build a strike (although boredom might prevail and change that).

Re: 10 day ppt... why?

the 10 days i assume is so people can fill their LF & LF reserves and also for those who've not played ascension server to get themselves sorted...

speaking of which, what is this supposed to do now, since you cant go above max?

Energy Channeling Skill
While at full energy, you can very slowly assimilate more - effectively although temporarily increasing your maximum energy levels. This measures the speed of that capacity (it is much slower than using Energy Flow to recover).

Re: 10 day ppt... why?

I'm pretty sure once your LF & Reserves are at max that goes into your LF Cache (used to purchase upgrades/refill your LF & Reserves)

Yeah. Channeling goes into your cache now.

Re: 10 day ppt... why?

when life force is at max, channeling goes to reserves.

i would imagine once reserves are maxed, it goes to cache.

i could easily get my reserves to max if i wanted, but having almost a week of protection left i dont see the need to rush it when i could buy other things

but i dont see any other way

On the test server excess Channeling after full reserves went into cache. Very slowly I might add...

Re: 10 day ppt... why?

The reason why it is 10 days is because it is a massive update,

Massively changing incomes and stats and stuff,

10 days is ample time to sort out any bugs / unfairness's and so on,
And also allow everyone to prepare there accounts for the change.

It wouldn't change anything. Your ppt would remain for however long it has left.
