My CER from my introspection page does not match the number of unclaimed worlds I generate per turn. When I take what I'm getting per turn in unclaimed worlds and multiply by 48 the number I get is neither what shows on my main page OR that of what is shown on the introspection page.

The remainder cannot be accounted for. There is a current difference of 3,317,518 between what my introspection page shows and the number I get when I multiply what I just got this turn by 48. That is rather large.

Even if what my CER on the main page isn't accurate and what is on my introspection page IS then the number of worlds I get per turn should be exactly/nearly exactly 1/48th of that number.

So I wrote the admin but no word yet. As it is the number of planets I get per turn (not talking about my CER number in main but the actual number I get) has been dropping every turn. I can't seem to find the problem and I'm starting to think it might be a game glitch.

[sgwguy]

Is there any way I can stop this, the number of planets I get each turn (actual count, not what my CER says) has fallen from 3.5m to 1.2m? At this rate I won't be getting anything at all in another day or so.

[Angelis~]

Its not counted on a daily basis but a per turn basis. Meaning the % of that which you are growing at goes down per turn change. So if at one turn change your cer is at 100m the next turn it could be at 98m meaning the amount of planets generated has gone down.

It's irritating but that's the way Admin Jason built the growth in ascended server. Some have suggested increasing the cap from 2 bil to whatever. A lot of players have reached 2% growth which is believed to be the cap on the percentage. The most fleets I've seen are over 1.7 mil and the highest cer I've seen is over 2.6 bil raw ( not the same person) which means he would be growing at 52m planets a day if hes at the cap.

[sgwguy]

Its idiotic, how the hell is that any way to encourage players to play at all if their efforts to grow simply disappear? I can hardly imagine why anyone would spend the $ on upgrades to reach a huge number like 600m per day if they are actually only getting 10% of that. Thanks for the reply though.

[sgwguy]

What is "the Ascended Assembly" and how do you apply for this? Its obviously an ascended PPT but I can't see anyplace where I can purchase it.

[sgwguy]

Does the loss of CER ever stop or will it continue every turn until I'm not making anything at all?

[Angelis~]

It's just the way it is... people adapt. If you have a suggestion to how it could be better make a thread in the suggestion area of the ascended forum section.

At around 5 billion planets your can attack pretty much anyone which at that point you can farm 20 to 60 quad a day depending on your farm list. Meaning those upgrades are simpler then you think. It's the getting to 5 billion planets the first time that takes what seems like a long time.

You can't apply a ppt in the ascended server. You get a 4 day ppt when you first ascend and a 4 day ppt when you come back from being descended. If you are going to be gone for 2 days or more simply set vacation mode for 2 days which is the minimum. It will last till you log in next.

Like I said it is believed to stop at 2%. But that's at like 20 billion total planets. I'm not sure of the exact planet total where the percentage is finally capped but its way up there. The percentage loss is not based on your raw cer but on your planet total.

[sgwguy]

Thanks, sorry it took me a while to reply. The whole idea seems ridiculous to me, there is no explanation why resources would simply disappear. I can understand if it gets a lot more expensive to buy upgrades but having your growth go BACKWARDS is idiotic. How any of these people got to 65 billion planets is beyond me.

[Angelis~]

I haven't seen anyone close to 65 billion total planets. The highest I know of is around 46 billion though. Basically they are always working on they CER by increasing there fleets and charisma all the time. The other part is time. Wait a good bit of time and any ones realm would be huge with a decent CER.

The slower growth is in place to allow newly ascended players to catch up to the old ones. If it was not in place then there would be no way in hell to catch up.

[sgwguy]

Sure there is, simply increase the cost of upgrades exponentially. It would allow everyone to keep what they should be earning and limit massive long term growth. It just seems counter productive for it to be set up where you lose what you've worked on is all.

[Angelis~]

The costs are already shocking. lol.

The average among active players in ascended for fleets is probably around 1,000,000 with charisma averaging around 900.

From zero:

That's 572 quad dmu in fleets (571,948,634,594,810,000).
And 166 quad in charisma (16,610,975,177,008 Life Force Cache x 1000).

The player I mentioned above has 45.2 billion planets with 1,661,021 fleets and 1100 charisma.

From zero:

That's 2.8 quintillion dmu in fleets alone (2,793,350,481,955,300,000).
And 2.8 quintillion dmu in charisma alone (276,004,097,987,130 Life Force Cache x 1000).

He/she has over 5 quintillion pushed into CER alone.

You say the cost of upgrades should increase exponentially. They already do at a certain point. For fleets in my opinion its around 1.3 million. For charisma and all the other personal abilities it's at 900 except mnec.

As I said above the cost to get to from 900 from 0 is 166 quad. to get from 900 to 1000 is 560 quad. from 1000 to 1100 is 2.033 quint. And it keeps jumping.

[sgwguy]

Ok so it does, I just don't like feeling like Alice in freaking wonderland, running as fast as you can just trying to stay in the same spot.

[Angelis~]

I have no issue removing the cap and decease in ones growth. However, you would also have to remove the 1/5 rule as well. Otherwise people could just grow out of range to be hit.

[sgwguy]

Would that really be such a big deal, someone can either get through another's defenses or they can't.
