Been discussed before

As a way of leveling the game so that new accounts could catch up with older accounts by adding regular extra ascensions, maybe 5 a year, and possibly making lower ascensions cost less in G&R than later ascensions would have been great idea's.

BUT

The reasoning behind leveling accounts in this way is gone now since old accounts for sale outnumber new players who stick with the game, and ascensions cost so much and take so long that it is far far cheaper and faster for new players to trade up instead of ascend.

ALSO

Adding ascensions after such a long period of time, after people had put so much into upgrades that are lost causes outrage and/or despondency in players who have already invested a great deal of time&effort and/or $s into those levels.

I remember when MS used to be wiped in every ascension, they were in my early ones, but when a bulk of more ascended levels were released the MSs were excluded from the upgrades being wiped for this same reason.

ive a great solution to lower the gap. it can boost a bit medium accounts vs heavy accounts while using new features and strategy. its jsut im lazy to write it now

Isn't this the same with what happened when the new 17 came in after having only AG for how long?

Also, as said before NO MORE ASCENSIONS please... If anything, the bonuses granted should be reduced. I'm sure I'll get plenty of hate-mail from saying that, but seriously. The stats are artificially boosted over 100% more (techs give i think +25% and +55%, then the +49% from ascending). That's just crazy. All ascensions should just be leveled out to +2% to ascended blessing change, and stat boost, or even less.

2% per ascension would be 1% less bonuses than currently...

Remove the stat bonus and just make the ascended blessing chance the only bonus... Also I wouldn't. Ascending gnaws my brain away
