Advice from one ascension noob to others

Buy a name change on main market. It requires all 3 Market Turns, so be careful...

i have a question
if someone were to forcibly descend another player, does that player become descended until they re-ascend on main, or is there some sort of timer?

it's 2 weeks

[Baxter]

so there is no way another player can permanently descend another at all??

[Colos]

No.

[Baxter]

thanks
cos i got this email after i had an issue with my ascended account
[spoiler]see
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=157834[/spoiler]
"You can be descended by another player.... this is a war game"
which i thought couldnt happen

[~Insider Trader~]

you wouldn't want to deny someone the fun of the ascended server would you? j/k

although back in the day it was possible to keep people virtually perma descended. Those were some happy times. I got some great messages back then.

So many F words. I think I heard virtually every variation possible from one particular person who was sandwiched between DDE/Omega on one side, and cheeky upstarts like me who didn't give a stuff.

Ahh memories! So much passion for the server. Where has it all gone?

[Baxter]

like any sane player, i didnt log on to ascended much
just did a bit of house keeping every couple of weeks


however, after reading through some of the forum posts it does seem to be a little bit more interesting now that i understand what half the things do, and how they make my account better
so maybe once i get my ascension status back ill give you all a few hits and see how we go XD

[Sir Balor]

quick question
i got bored and attacked some inactive directly, they only had 4mill ish LF and i mashed it.
then i see theyre not descended
and when i god quest again i notice the victim has 1 LF left
have i done something wrong or do they ony descend after the '3 hours of battle'?

[Colos]

What you zeroed (well, 1'd) was only the target's Ascended Life Force. It is kinda the last line of defence. Take a look at their Reserves. When reserves are gone, the target is gone too

darn looks like i'll have to up my TOC again then

[Lore]

unless something has changed you can still only do 1/3 total damage so 3 ascended hits are needed maximum to deascend.

but things might have changed IDK

[JediMasterX]

No lore, you're correct. What should have taken me not even 1 hit took me 3 hits to descend kosta of DoC. So the 3 hit rule is still in effect.

So with that, here is my advice. Try to login every 8 hours at least on your ascended. No matter how little you are it still take three hits. So keep your LF filled.

And now that I think about it I got a question. Kosta only had 1.8 mil total LF. I was doing 800k damage to him every time I assaulted him directly. Now if he would have logged in and refilled his LF back to 1.8 mil I would have not descended him, correct? Or is it just three hits and poof? Cus my ToC was like almost 200 times what he had at the beginning so would would I have descended him because it was a third hit and his lf refilled or not was still considerably smaller than my ToC?
