Agreed. Nice and fair all round. Although 48hrs might be better, 24 might be a bit short for sum :-D

Re: next game update progress open on beta server

I have recently sold like 100mill+ UU to upgrade my MS. SO the MS better not reset unless I get 100% of my naq back.

Re: next game update progress open on beta server

I don't understand why this update is thought to be necessary....

Everytime a new update comes out, it takes a while for most people to catch on, eventually people spend months perfecting a strategy to get to their goals (ie: Daz in his post above) - but by then a new update comes out. It just seems like jason is forever moving the goalposts - even when the server is playing quite well as it is....

Ascension needs updating; the autoban needs changing - these are the things which should be getting updates, not massively undermining people's work for the last months/years - don't make main, like ascension has become ;)

Re: next game update progress open on beta server

I have better idea, lets new accounts start with 200mill army size, 32 covert anti covert levels and about 300 trill naq donations. Because older account are to strong for newcomers!!

I worked 2.5 years on my acc and now noobs want to have strong acc in 2 months. It is stupid.

seconded...
but thats not what admin wants to hear...

you all have to be positive about stuf...

dearr user, i m about to flush 800tril of your account, plz smile
:lol:

on the flip side.. we have to understand.. admin is tryn to "update" the game.. to keep it dynamic..

the only issue is on how realisticly he makes those changes...
and how much does he "toutch" with that...

I m asuming that priape has about 200k on all 3 ms slots things.. now if my math isnt totaly messed up.. thats about 600tril naq give or take..
after the ms update a new kid on the block will be able to make that same thing with 60tril naq..

Its a beautiful way forward for all the newcomers... sucks for the rest of us thoug...

but from logic of it.. i forsee a new strategy.. any1 smart will vac their account for 2 years or 3.. or better yet turn it to $ than come back in 2 years...
3 clicks and he ll be the new sherif in town...

Admin keeps sayn that its all work in progress... and that we shouldnt be so quick to judge...
players keep sayn if the car has no engine.. no matter how much you polish it it wont work...

Still we have to understand i guess.. we see this game as uu naq and hours spent by pc/ $invested in it..
admin sees it as a code and comunity...
I guess we have to learn to talk both languages...

so in that spirit heres something for you...
Dear admin, Plz take out of your wallet 6000$ (equivalent of priapes ms, or at least naq invested in it)
now put the first 600 back in the wallet.. thats your spending money...

with the remaining 5400... light yourself a cigar, and smile.... the future will be bright. :-D


on the "general" agenda side..
If the update comes to life
i agree planets and ms should be reset, and fully refunded... if the problem is vaced ppl it can be set as a "temp" button thing in the main viev.. that after hitting you puts you on ppt and converts all that to naq.. so they wont be not there when its going down...

after that, players can decide.. to invest diferently.. or to alocate naq about the same as it was be4 (in which case they probably wouldnt hit reset button at all)...
Sugested it to admin, but hes against it for now... maybe if he actualy checks and sees its not just some stupid blahh idea... but a general feeling he changes his mind.


thoug even using that i agree with whomever posted.. that MSs wont be a tactic no more.. cause mostly ppl will go to 200k each.. above that 0 because of the "extreme" price gap... wich tecnicly renders mss from normal use.. like CS in asc who no1 bothers building..

hope this post doesnt get me warning no 2 :)

ITs odd to agree with an enemy... but i hereby do agree with you...

thoug let them start with 300mil+ so that they may experience plauge effect at first... see whats coming

Re: next game update progress open on beta server

Updates always make the game more interesting because you will have to change your strategies. Even if some things get screwed over or if people lose naq they have invested in things, every change will bring new options and new strategies.

I honestly don't understand why people are getting so mad about updates. Just imagine the game would never change and it would still be like it used to be 2 or 3 years ago. I honestly doubt people would stay interested.

What ever there may come, I am keen to see it. And I think admin does listen to suggestions if you approach him properly. I sure wouldn't listen to someone acting like an angry and stubborn little kid who is afraid mommy will takes his toy away either.

Seriously, some of you guys really get way too mad about things and act in a rather inappropriate way. You are talking to the person who made this game which you have been playing for FREE for the last 3 years and which you have been enjoying and which made you meet a lot of people you now call friends. How about you pay him a little respect instead of complaining and whining every time he picks up the development process again in order to improve the game so it stays alive...

So could everyone please stop acting as if admin only did things to annoy you? I am sure he will take your concerns and suggestions into consideration if you at least try to be constructive and polite.

I don't quite follow you there - the updates to ascension (quite similar in promoting growth for newer players like this proposed update) completely screwed the server over. Ascension used to be quite interesting - now, its a waste of time.

I agree updates are an integral part to games like these, but not making things easier all the time....some things have to be worked for (ps: this isn't some kind of "old player" selfishness - my ms and planets suck, but I respect the amount invested in them by other players) - if everything in these games was easy, you'd never care about whether you lost stuff in a war, you'd never have goals to aim for - in fact, it'd be just like ascension is now :(

That is a GREAT post. Well worded and delivered nicely. I think this would be an appropriate time to quote your whole entire post and say "THIS".

Thank you for this post, alot of members feel the same way you do and you put it very nicely.

Re: next game update progress open on beta server

people are vicitms of their own success...thus admin changes things to make it interesting

for those of you for years that had "excess resources" to sell for $$ - maybe admin wanted people to actually "war" in his war game :shock:

it's probably become clear to admin that the older players of the game will leave at some point ( and probably in the near future, just look at all the "I'm quitting threads" in the last 2 months, from well known players) to this end he has to allow something for anyone new stumbling acorss the game to be caught up in it.

people like the educators that have good MS's, probably don't help things.....mass a newbie with next to little loss, makes you feel good makes them press delete.

Yes there should be something to help those out the spent loads of naq on their MS's, but nothing drastic. Lets make massing fun again, where people actually lose uu and TFF starts to maybe drop for a change. :lol:

also while where on the subject of war...plz add and option that lets me trade 3 Mt's to disable nox on one target lol j/k but falling asleep while massing sucks :(

Re: next game update progress open on beta server

I dont like the MS update at all.
During the COP/CIA war my MS was always owned and spent its time in the junk yard.
After the COP/CIA war my MS became my main focus.I worked very hard for a long time to keep my MS in the rank 10.Not easy at all I had to put trillions of Naq into it every week.I hate to see all the effort stripped away with a update.
Now for the good part it gives everyone a nice MS thats worth junk.

About what happened in ascended:
I liked to 2 infusions of LF to kick things off.It was something my account
badly needed..Thanks for that.
It did level the playing field some what.If the playing field is too leveled theres the feeling of no need to doing anything any more.Whats the point?
