But MOST of the current people already have a 6*14 days headstart on any new comer

Glancing the ranks: amongst the first 50 11 are clearly working on it. And as time goes by more and more will to "not be left behind" and more and more will be forced into it. Heck this server war, its only going on cos people are ascending if you ask me lol.
Plus, the rate of going for it will go up exponentionally as people see more and more going for 25 that would give them what a 18 % bonus over them. So they`ll start on it sooner rather than later.

And yea, 1 year to do it in utopia. That`s what I`m saying. Once half a year goes by and those who are decently active with their headstarts of 7-10 ascensions and resources get to 25, what then? Who the heck is gonna start up SGW when it takes 1 year if youre cheating naq and UU and X years if youre not just to get to an even bonus playing field and not be pracitcally 1/4 handicaped? Very few, that`s who.
Heck I know I wouldnt have picked up SGW 3 years ago if instead of the possibility to quickly get to 7 ascensions and then working on/playing main I was faced with the prospect of having to do 25 with 14 days cooldown.

I know what you mean. I'll probably go for it myself eventually, to "keep up" as you said. Problem is, there will be no new people, and people will slowly fall away. 15 should have been a maximum or something like that. Atm the max % boost is 46%/stat, where as the unascended are 30% to 1 stat

Well said Brdavs, well said.

Biggest problem is 2 fold.

1, the old guard can muster rank enough for 5G&R per turn with 2 maybe 3 mill men with massive MS and established planets, new accounts cant.

2, IF this server war ended, new accounts ascendeing would end the same day as the old guard built some stats.


Having a AB chance of over 50% was ludacrist at best.

Sounds like its time to throw out some idea to be evaluated

That sounds awfully like a line from Hitchhikers. Admin must be a fan of Douglas Adams

but I would like to know who's panicking? I reckon it's curiousity more than anything else...

As long as you don't have to be on ascended every hour or two of the week to prevent descension and that raiding isn't re-implemented, it's not really a doom on ascended server.

Should be interesting whatever it is.

Maybe you could lose an ascension by being deascend
Runs for cover

Good luck for admin here. If I think of all the discussions we had on these forums, all those threads of how to fix ascended... I couldn't think of a good, fair and workable solution.

This feels a bit too much like RL for comfort. All those redistribution of wealth, closing the income gaps, free everything for the poor, paid for by the "rich" (who are also struggling!). Mmm, imagine admin decides to pool all the units in the server, and hand them out equally to all. Would be a laugh. Then a cry.

Oh well, we'll just have to wait and see.
