likely limited to x per time
may entertain a boost to APP in asc
the goal is not to help big guys but give the ranks meaning. if anything it will cause fight for rank, fight between big guys, thus helping little guys....and causing more fighting overall

so far:
glory for bigger att weapon

glory for temp double income (1day)
glory for temp double def (1day)
glory for 100% Ascended Blessing (1.5 days)
glory for double covert (1day)
this will be next feature released aside from 'tweaks' ... so ideas to make it better welcome!
Two questions.
Are you going to reset everyone's glory so the accounts that have been sitting in the top 10 for years don't become untouchable?
Is there going to be a monthly limit, to the four I put in bold?

no reset of glory.
things will be structured so nobody totally dominates -although will get advantage.
yes there will be a limit of use over time...
if anything those in the top will not want to be on nox so it should cause more 'disturbance' up top
these will be tested on dev server before live as well ...

Doesn't matter what the community's trying to do, J wants more cash and this is a quick way to get it
think like a businessman not someone who cares about the game to think like J muff
After making ascensions purchaseable i figured he would take a greed break

the major flaw i can see in this: some people already have tens of thousands of glory. They could insta-awesome their account if weapons can be bought to no limit.
Perhaps having a weapon known as a "glory" weapon, that can be bought like a normal weapon but using currency of glory rather than naq?
not sure if thats where you are heading with it, but even so, that makes it clearer

yes, thats the idea.
i may even revisit the length of the att/def/cov /ab bonus.
the concept is having glory 'unlock' things. at cost of course.
if there are better ideas than temp stat increases, would look at those too. New unit type? some other action? ideas welcome, is why the post is here

Perfect.
Less stagnancy and a bigger dynamic is a good thing.
How about this 'big weapon' also costing UU? (Like in one of the early Chaos waves, where there was a 'fleet' -or something similar- weapon that had a whole set of requirements..)

Should work very nice. Those extra GRs should now actually be worth something.
PS: "Income Planets now produce 5x what they were." - it doesn't work. My income planets have stayed exactly the same as before the update.

These new weapons are susceptible to sabbing to I suppose ?
would they go first, or last ones sabbed ?
Great to see something being done with excess GNR.
Super Sayjins idea would be a very good approach to imo.
How about trading glory points for MS upgrades ?

instead of UU, how about untrained mercs
this way those serve a purpose
GnR mercs ( untrained mercs) to control the GnR weapon that can only be contolled if your within the GnR zone and only against other GnR zoned players. this way you cant use this weapon/s to flatten the newer less developed player.
this would make the top players really battle for position.

I would like Super Saiyains idea if it were somewhat "capped" where you were only able to hit 5x lower ascensions than you, and no lower, but you could hit maybe say 8x above you. Would give a new meaning to staying at a lower ascension. I dunno im all about versatility, not building the account the way everyone does, like a buncha copies of the same account, like how it is nowadays

some great ideas from everyone so far about restricting.. i think also that there should be some market turn cost for this ability.. to prevent people from finding ways to abuse it... sortof like the untraining of your supers..make it cost two market turns.. that way it makes it almost impossible to abuse or use twice in a 7 day period unless it is done right before market reset...
and yea.. what is the use of untrained mercs anyway.. never could figure that out other than to pad your AS...
also, how about, this: make it where the G&R can be traded for naq or UU in your MT's but limit that to the lower ascended players.. that way, once again, it cant be abused but can give a little bonus for those smaller accounts??
As far as resetting G&R.. im glad you have chosen not to do that.. the people that have those tens of thousands of G&R earned them.. they should not be punished just to help smaller accounts.
and yea.. my naq planets still havent changed either... still giving the same mount of naq...

As for the ascension buying update, i believe that we should be somewhat compensated for all the resources and time spent, as the update basically nulls them. Especially those that have made it to UnKnown just now, it's been time and resources spent for nothing...
