so far:

glory for temp double income (1day)
glory for temp double def (1day)
glory for 100% Ascended Blessing (1.5 days)
glory for double covert (1day)
this will be next feature released aside from 'tweaks' ... so ideas to make it better welcome!
Two questions.
Are you going to reset everyone's glory so the accounts that have been sitting in the top 10 for years don't become untouchable?
Is there going to be a monthly limit, to the four I put in bold?

I walk through the darkness
I lurk under your bed
I live in your wardrobe
I creep up in the shed.
I tiptoe through the corridor
I follow you anywhere
I rip your braveness apart
And never ever care
I am fear so don't come near..

Re: Glory Shop
no reset of glory.
things will be structured so nobody totally dominates -although will get advantage.
yes there will be a limit of use over time...
if anything those in the top will not want to be on nox so it should cause more 'disturbance' up top
these will be tested on dev server before live as well ...

Re: Glory Shop
the major flaw i can see in this: some people already have tens of thousands of glory. They could insta-awesome their account if weapons can be bought to no limit.
Perhaps having a weapon known as a "glory" weapon, that can be bought like a normal weapon but using currency of glory rather than naq?
not sure if thats where you are heading with it, but even so, that makes it clearer

Re: Glory Shop
yes, thats the idea.
i may even revisit the length of the att/def/cov /ab bonus.
the concept is having glory 'unlock' things. at cost of course.
if there are better ideas than temp stat increases, would look at those too. New unit type? some other action? ideas welcome, is why the post is here

How about this 'big weapon' also costing UU? (Like in one of the early Chaos waves, where there was a 'fleet' -or something similar- weapon that had a whole set of requirements..)

Should work very nice. Those extra GRs should now actually be worth something.

Re: Glory Shop
These new weapons are susceptible to sabbing to I suppose ?
would they go first, or last ones sabbed ?
Great to see something being done with excess GNR.
Super Sayjins idea would be a very good approach to imo.
How about trading glory points for MS upgrades ?

instead of UU, how about untrained mercs
this way those serve a purpose
GnR mercs ( untrained mercs) to control the GnR weapon that can only be contolled if your within the GnR zone and only against other GnR zoned players. this way you cant use this weapon/s to flatten the newer less developed player.
this would make the top players really battle for position.

I would like Super Saiyains idea if it were somewhat "capped" where you were only able to hit 5x lower ascensions than you, and no lower, but you could hit maybe say 8x above you. Would give a new meaning to staying at a lower ascension. I dunno im all about versatility, not building the account the way everyone does, like a buncha copies of the same account, like how it is nowadays

Re: Glory Shop
some great ideas from everyone so far about restricting.. i think also that there should be some market turn cost for this ability.. to prevent people from finding ways to abuse it... sortof like the untraining of your supers..make it cost two market turns.. that way it makes it almost impossible to abuse or use twice in a 7 day period unless it is done right before market reset...
and yea.. what is the use of untrained mercs anyway.. never could figure that out other than to pad your AS...
also, how about, this: make it where the G&R can be traded for naq or UU in your MT's but limit that to the lower ascended players.. that way, once again, it cant be abused but can give a little bonus for those smaller accounts??
As far as resetting G&R.. im glad you have chosen not to do that.. the people that have those tens of thousands of G&R earned them.. they should not be punished just to help smaller accounts.
and yea.. my naq planets still havent changed either... still giving the same mount of naq...

Another important thing regarding such things are that I also feel that my "shadow" shouldn´t be "everywhere" in the alliance. A legacy is in my opinion a good thing as long as it is on a foundation level, values and such. But if it seeps to much into things it is very hard for current leadership to make own policy as ppl tend to referr to "old ways" wich rarely are up to date.... As I have said to other leaders, it was never my intention to try to keep the alliance as a static entity - infact quite the opposite, I was adamant to keep evolving the alliance according to how the game developed, only thing I felt needed to be solid is the sprit, heart and foundation of Titans that in my opinion could be described with a few words - "good guys".

Re: Glory Shop
As for the ascension buying update, i believe that we should be somewhat compensated for all the resources and time spent, as the update basically nulls them. Especially those that have made it to UnKnown just now, it's been time and resources spent for nothing...
