HELP! Should I ascend?

Hey guys, I've been an LG+1 for a long, long, long time, and I've been thinking about getting some more ascensions under my belt. I don't know if that's really a good idea or not now though, so i'd like a little input. Well here's some details:

120m Army Size
255k raw up
not sure what else is needed for consideration

But I just want some input on if you guys think it's worth starting the climb to Unknown, or just hanging around at LG+1?? Thanks for your input guys

Re: HELP! Should I ascend?

you can also buy an ascension now, on the main black market, without losing your goods...

costs $10. which is a lot for all the ascensions, but as i have covert level 35,

with $10, i can make that like... covert level 17.5 over two ascensions... :)

not sure what your covert levels are, or how much you spent on MS techs...

those would be the other major considerations, possibly also your lifer count.

i have lots of new small friends to help with uu brokers.

just catch me on msn on most weekday evenings & nights, usa eastern, or lemme know in advance. :)

Re: HELP! Should I ascend?

Speaking in terms of the game average player that's not that much of a loss in terms of Raw UP and such. I'd say you'd have to think about how much naq you earn (from income and farming) to determine how much of a loss that would be for you personally.

Ascending really doesn't cost that much if you do it right.

Re: HELP! Should I ascend?

Also depends how you want to play the game?

Are you a player who likes "levelling up"? In which case ascensions are great targets.

Are you a player who likes warring? In which case ascensions are boring periods where you have low covert lvls, etc.

Are you a stat builder? In which case, what are your covert lvls?

I wouldn't pay $10 per ascension - much easier and cheaper to buy a rubbish Unknown - there are plenty knocking around, some easily under $50...

Re: HELP! Should I ascend?

I won't be buying my ascensions, that much i'm sure of already, but I am leaning toward ascending again now. I'm quite sure I can bounce back easily and ascend again after around a month each time, I would like to build my stats, but right now my covert lvls are only 31/28, so it's really not that much of a loss there either

Then in the long-run it is definitely worth you ascending ;)
