I play for about an hour a day, or two hours if I get lucky. I had even less time when I had my old account, and the ascended was bad when I first got it. Levels were around 500. I was descended within a week of joining FS with that account. I ignored my ascended still, got descended again. After the second descension, I brought my levels to 700+ in about a week or two I believe, and despite some attempts I wasn't descended.

It does NOT take too much effort to be safe in ascended. Ascended is NOT the reason we don't have new blood and people are leaving. People are leaving because of 1) The gap between cash spenders and f2p players, 2) Old school massing being practically non-existant now, and 3) Admin not willing to undo the updates.

The biggest problem is people realizing that they CANNOT compete with any of the "big players" unless they themselves start spending. You want new blood and people to stop leaving? Get all the big spenders together, try to get a pact to lower of not completely remove that, and you'll see an improvement in gameplay. That's not going to happen, so we might as well accept that this game, like all other games, will eventually die out and make the best with what we have.

No one's quit while I've been here because "I can be descended". They leave because of main. Fix the main server, then worry about the ascended.

Having to have a schedule whereas you have to log in and PLAY..HAVE TO PLAY IT in a specific time frame is RETARDED

Wether it be farming for building or refilling for to block desc. its RETARDED for people to have to schedule their life to accomodate a game. ITS STUPID People are quitting because its a burden. NO NEW BLOOD LITHIUM, NO NEW BLOOD

This is very true, there is no new blood because people dont always have the time, the ascended server is a complete pain, and only ever and will only ever benefit a few people that play the game.

Get home and check, or stop somewhere in between like a library, or internet cafe, maybe you have a friend that has a phone he would let you use for 30 seconds. Or perhaps if you can't setup your time to fit your needs, you can go dormant (vacation) and come off on the weekends or a time which you have to play, until you develop stats to protect yourself.

This just wow, what a load of crap right there, clearly either you dont work or go to school, or you work or go to school and have access to a computer at any time of day, I log into ascended in the morning before i leave for work ( 6am ) when in work, even though i have my phone i cannot get access to the net due to where the building is and lack of 3G access, by the time i get out of work and get home it can be as late as ( 4pm ) so there a nice 10 hour window, i dont have access to a computer, internet cafe, library,

So in saying all that, why should i be forced to go onto vac mode in ascended because of my job, where you can just sit there all day and play huh, does that not make it completely unfair on me?

Fact is, people enjoy main for the most part, they dont enjoy ascended ( unless that small group again ) if admin is hell bent on continually making it harder for people who cannot get access to a computer all day because of there job/school/family life, he might aswell pull the plug on the entire game now, because as it stands,if they DONT play ascended they are at a disadvantage against everyone who does.

Maybe it is just time to sell up and quit, before being forced out the door.

AND I AM ALMOST TOTALLY INACTIVE!

So, to all of you, who know nuts about ascended but keep crying about newer and newer updates: quit whining and start farming!

Lets keep the whining comments out of posts in these threads please and post constructively, Thank you. The window is too tight for people that have school and jobs and most cannot access the net during their days and as already stated scheduling ones life around a game is retarded, It needs to be changed to accomidate the majority of the players not the select few that can do these things.

BTW 3 hit descension #4 last night.

I do not see how my comment was off-topic. A bit harsh, yes, but that's the fact: if you suck on ascended, then Descention is your ultimate price.

Also, this entire thread is a pointless mess, so most of the posts could easily be deemed as off-topic.

And I looked hard for your constructive posts, yet I found nothing but whining and flaming.

ps.: I stated in the mod forum that I will not mod this thread, so you can't call the Bias Crusade on me.

Thats the way I did it.(I think anyway I have a good account...not great tho)

**extending the descend time to 24 hrs ...big no from me it would kill it for me.
One person simply can not descend many players anyways.I have had many failed attempts
The 1 turn per turn did kill off ascended for a day.

The current minimum hits required to descend someone is 4 hits. However, if the target you are descending has an inadequate Flow level in ratio to their Life Force then they can be descended in 3 hits. Meaning if their Life Force doesn't refill during the 3 hour break then their reserves wont see any recovery at all so the target can be descended in 3 hits due to maximum damage being caused.

Farm a little and people will be fine. You don't even have to do it once a day. A little farming done each week will get you out of the "4 hits and your descended" group.

I don't really come into the suggestions to much anymore. There's way to much drama.

The way I see it.. It's Admin Jason's game. If he likes a suggestion then he'll change it. If he doesn't then he wont. If the game dies well then it dies.

I doubt it matters to anyone but since the beginning of this month, July, over 100 people have ascended for the first time. Its the biggest boom of "first time ascenders" I've seen in awhile. And the numbers are continuing to rise. Currently at 10084. Personally I'd like to see people lend out a helping hand to those freshly ascended then bicker about past, current, and possible future updates.


Have a good week,

just a thought

renegadze wrote:If everyone is so intent in helping the new people out, then maybe give them some DMU...as a point to note, a newly ascended account with a 1 quad DMU infusion takes a minimum 4 hits to descend (if it is spent correctly). Yes I realise this is a lot for a VERY new player to farm, but it only equates to 2 tril naq in main on current prices.
