Army Size VS. Ascension

What's more baller to YOU: Ascended Levels OR Army Size.

For example, would you rather be ascended 20(22) times or 400M Army Size?

While you can ascend 20 times and then go for 400M Army Size, the opportunity cost is that you lose out on building a massive raw UP and having monstrous covert/AC levels not to mention using naq otherwise spent on rebuilding on your permanent MS.

Would you rather be a 400M AG or a 100M UnNamed? And why? Keep in mind that Forum may just as well add new ascended levels in the future, so there may be no end to ascending.

Re: Army Size VS. Ascension

Ascended Levels.

Why?

Simple reason. UU, and Covert levels can easily be bought within time. Ascending takes more effort and time.

Re: Army Size VS. Ascension

I think Admin's already said he'll go up to 25 (maybe or slowly)

Though IF you did take the time when 10 ascensions was the limit and build up some then you are rather fu-barred now when it comes to ascending as you'll end up with 400million lifers. Lifer Suicide not being a massively realistic option.

The other problem is of course the game is geared to ascending. I mean to get into glory ranks if you have good enough other stats you can do it with ABSOLUTELY MINIMAL defence. You prove this Kinnell.

So I don't think it's really a question of what you'd prefer, rather a question of what you are going to have to be realistically stuck with as so far the game as rewarded those who coast along with below or average stats as they can ascend for little cost in main, while those who worked at it now have a massive bill to ascend with and very, very very little benefit from the ascension except more to go through. Let's face it, no one needs to ascend with power these days.

Re: Army Size VS. Ascension

For me, Ascension.

I ascended for the first time recently. I started a forum thread prior to that asking about the supporter package for ascension. I just wanted to know what you got in it (same as $20). But it became a forum for people telling me to trade my G&R in for SS and get a friend to hold my excess stuff for me so I don't lose it and blah, blah, blah....

I just wanted the Red bits under my name. Plus, all that stuff I lost gave me more APP to play with on the ascended game. Now I wanna do it again to get ascended blessing and a slightly cooler red bit. Plus, what I lose this time around (won't be as much) will give me more APP.

For me, it's just the fun of doing various things.

I agree, not to mention the havoc an ascended account sows upon an ascended account.

I'd rather be a 400 million prior. Prior > all.

And no blessing for prior, unlike all other ascended levels... :)

Re: Army Size VS. Ascension

Tough choice, but I would probably go with the ascensions, due to the time, and resources that it takes to reach that. Also, with 100million UU at that kind of ascended level, income bonuses as well as stat bonuses would be big, and therefore growth would not be a problem.

I wouldn't be so ungrateful for the help people were giving.

Next time you ask for help don't be so surprised if no-one helps you because you just threw it back in their faces.

Re: Army Size VS. Ascension

Well on your basic question of 400m AG or 100m UnNamed of course I'd choose the AG account, it's what? 10% stat difference between them so you can break it down to 110m vs 400m. Just my view on it.

I'd have to agree. Plus the requirements to ascend farther than AG are kinda not worth another 10% boost.
