Help understanding ascension and ranking sytem

Confusion 1: 2% of the lowest rank is 2% of 1 is it not? which is .02, which is impossible to reach, so what does it mean when it says 2% of the lowest rank?

Confusion 2: Exactly what would the range be of this 2% with a variance of what?

Confusion 3: How do i determine where the 2% mark is?

P.S. is there another way i can sell my attack turns without switching over to purgatory? i like the money :P.

Re: Help understanding ascension and ranking sytem

As with any ranking, the 'lowest' is the highest number around.

Currently, the rank required for GnR is somewhere around 1200, so you can figure out what the lowest rank is if you still need to. :)




Ps. If you're in Pergatory, you cannot sell AT.
If you move to or from Pergatory, you lose all (tradeable) AT.
Other than that, I don't understand your confusion. :)

Re: Help understanding ascension and ranking sytem

well... how to explain? my rank is 4020, the lowest rank is 1, so how do i figure myself in the highest 2% by measuring the lowest rank (1), and how do i up my rank? how do i get glory points? how do i up my rank? what is rank and glory points based on? as for the ps, i wish to stay in normal realm but i have more attack turns then i'll ever use so i want to make some naq, instead of going to purgatory, is there another way i could sell my at, and how? (when i go to purg it says i sell all attack turn and i generally get about 50 bil naq which comes in handy, but then i have to wait five days to get out)

97,255 players total | page 3075 of 3,242=== is coppied from the attack page, the player ranked 97,255 has the "lowest" rank. Rank 1 is the highest rank acheivable.

You increase your Rank by improving your stats, ATT, DEF, Covert, AC, and MS.

For selling AT, if you have SS you can sell to other players or to the ingame market. If not you can get "market supporter status" with ingame resources and you can sell your AT to the games ingame market.

Re: Help understanding ascension and ranking sytem

SS? I'm still new to this game and don't recognize most of your abbreviations, lol. By improving my stats do you mean by up-ing my unit's just over the course of time? or by gathering planets? both? How do i get market supporter status?

SS is "supporter status"

You can purchase a package through the preferences tab on control panel

You can ascend and receive SS for free

You can go to market and buy "market supporter status" with ingame resources, not sure how as its been over 2 yrs that i've had SS.

You up your stats with units, weapons, and tech levels. Planets also help but are likely to be removed.

The G & R is in the 1700's now.

Rank 180 gets you 5 points a turn.
