well i want to see the CosmicMarket in ascension.. not SS, but the market.

So many ppl complain ascension is boring, now you complain that you want it to stay broing?

I say bring the market, make the game more lively.

I agree that we should not have SS or the ability to buy more PPT. However I also agree that a regular, carefully monitored market (the Cosmic Market) would be a good thing. I wouldn't have a problem with people trading resources for units for turns and such. no SS, no PPT and it's all good.

I would love to be able to buy more turns. Then again, I'm speaking as a more aggresive player here. I've already got a nice farm list set up and I'm buying more and more attack stuff.

and to be honest, the prevalent 'asgard mentality' I'm seeing on the AS makes me sick. unless we get more people actively playing and fighting, the AS will turn into (at least partly), what main has become - an overfortified waiting game. Let's keep the ascended server alive and kicking folks! we're ASCENDED! let's have some fun! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :smt066:

i think we should have the market in ascension but keep it at turns for naq trades only like Q but with no ppts or ss

players that dont attack (dunno why!) could sell their turns and the players that do attack and war could buy them

why no uu(planets trading) you have raid use it or boost your up main is ruined its more like E-bay than a war game lets not turn ascension into that

that sounds good. I could live without a 'trade for planets' option. I could raid the money for the turns I want...

I'd love to see market come into ascencion. but only in the way chaos works.
or main market (that you can buy and sell your resources for other resources normally and up to a limit per week)
but ppt should not be allowed at any cost nor should SS be allowed

No, you should definately be above PPT in ascension...I mean why would an ascended being need a Protected Planet to hide on?

Anyway, a market is always good to a point, just so long as it doesn't create a situation where the players who can spend all day long on the game can all of a sudden have seemingly unlimited trades and get thousands of turns and dominate the game with it.

that is EXACTLY what would happen with ANY form of market. the players that know how to play and work the game would benefit them at the expense of those that do not understand how to play and they think they are getting a sweet deal.

no market. no ppt. no ss.

first of all, I know this is a really old thread.

but I'm rooting for a market to come in really quick right now. I need to buy a whole lot of turns pretty quickly here. One of my farms is getting rebellious. he's being crushed by my defense, but I'd still like to smack him back into line.

Ascension is about doing stuff on your own bud..If you can't plan properly, then shame on you.

One of the greatest things about ascension is the fact that you can't just buy turns, you have to wait for them.

yes, well, I don't have so much patience, but I guess I shall learn. perhaps my god-complex from ascending makes me want to continue un-hindered. hmmm, well anyway, he'll get a smackdown regardless.

I think balance of power will happen WHEN (and only when) the market comes.

Dark


The only Balance that is going to happen is me and those like me getting so much stronger that noone can catch up. I hate to point it out to you. But I can break and defeat 98% of the players in ascended with ease, I can break everyone if I wanted in a matter of minutes. I woulden't go off spouting how thats going to balance out power.

The asgard method of playing is due the rank mod. Trust me the game is lively between the higher and stronger ranked players. We are fighting all the time.

If you don't know how the game works and is played. How did you get to the point where ascending was an Option?

Thinking like that will one day get you smacked down.
