[Lord Dougy]

Life as a goauld god is not as glamarious as it seems(thought still better than the life oda bug a slave or a grey butt alien)

[Lakrimo]

Agsuard r already powerful enough without this new ability. And y do the asguard always cry about tauri attack? Ofcourse a race with the only advantage being attack is goin to use it.... y should the asguard of all people get such a defencive tech? in fact, the replicators or gould should have the 35% miss tech becuase thier defence is **Filtered**. The asguard posting on this forum r only defending their new tech becuase they know how unfair it is and dont want a greater good for this game....

[Narrator]

i think thats goin a little to far lakrimo. i mean "the good of teh game". if u got an unfair advantage you wouldnt beg the forum to take it out. true goaould id the best race bc of the income bonus.. but this upgrade is a joke. it needs to be at least 10% to be worth nething. in fact, i htink they shoulkd make up a new one for the goaould, because this really isnt worth the naq u pay.

I agree that the goul'd and reps seem to have got a bitter deal with the new tech updates. Even the tauri tech isnt as great as all that. Im tauri and i use my turns as i get them, and i have to say that my "advaced escape" tech kicks in maybe 1/10 attacks. While the Asguard tech kicks in much more often. Now people say attack other targets, and thats y im so upset with the update. The upgrade is simply so strong that we would rather attack other targets giving asguard a free ride. Either lower the chance of the attack hitting a hologram or reduce the number of turns lost. I know im not the only thinking that.

[Narrator]

yea thats true.. losing 15 turns every othere attack is a lot. it should be 15% or 20. does neone noe if the asgrad see who attacked them if they attacked the hologram?

Wow you've got a really good idea. TOO BAD IT ALREADY IS 15% OF ATTACKS!

[Narrator]

Actually when you first click the Unique Upgrade it says +5%, when you upgrade again it says +10%. So lets do the math shall we.

5 + 10 = ?

Anyone?

Anyone?

Yes, you are correct it equals 15% so STOP COMPLAINING!!!

And for the reason it seems to kick in more often than not for you. That could be because those people haven't had it kick in for a while. I haven't had it work yet and I have gotten attacked 7 times since the upgrade. So please, be kind and STOP COMPLAINING!

[Apocalypse(Amon Ra)]

guaold deserve what they got!! the easiest race has to suffer some penalty.

I don't understand this easiet how?

Sure we get more income as the asgard get more defense the tauri get more attack and the repicators get more covert.

Free banking compared to cheaper asgard defense weapons and cheaper tauri attack guns and the replicators covert mission bonus.

Now with the new updates the goauld get less covert which is ok

But our uniqe tech is horrible .I repeat horrible no other way to put it if i were the melodramtic sort i'd call it a travistiy of justice .

[Myseri]

Did I scare Lakrimo off?

Farm another race?

Gouald are very few in numbers, and the replis have almost no naquadah as well as being few in number. Pretty much 90% of my farms are asgard, if i didnt attack them then i would not be able to do anything.

So what you're complaining about is that all the players whos' prolonged offline periods allowed them to build up large amounts of naquada for you to take from them can now make it more difficult for you to take it from them. Perhaps the fact that they can't log in every 30-60mins to check their A/C is the reason they chose the defensive race and so this was leaving Asgard overly prone to farming anyway, the sheer fact that you say 90% of your farms were Asgard kinda shows this. If it's a balenced game it should be approx 25% for each race (unless you refuse to attack your own in which case it'd be 33% for the other 3 races) with no race being abused more than the others.
E.g. Goa'uld I worry about attacking since they do tend to have a good defence.
Asgard I don't attack since I am one.
Tauri tend to be players who can log in regularly so aren't overly easy to farm as they spend their naq before it can build up to worthwhile amounts.
Replicators I worry about attacking those with comparable rankings since they're likely to sab me.
I know in the last wave I saw numerous Asgards regularly have obscene amounts of naq out in the open and so quite a few of them are most likely Asgard for the reason I said, that they can't log in regularly enough to play well as any of the other races.

Ok this is ridiculous. Why would I be as stupid as to fall for the same hologram twice in a row? That should be made impossible. Why are my weapons damaged? Do holograms fire back at me? Why in gods name would I still want to attack an asgard if it costs me 45 turns, 11M repair costs, and earns me 14M, if I could get the same off a tauri, or 25% more off a goa'uld?

This game is becoming more defensive every day, attacks eventually lose their value for most. In this defensive world, there's no way of stopping the asgard. I think I'll just wait till every bloody asgard is ascended before trying anything cause this is ridiculous.

It's a new hologram in a different location.

Wear and tear through use.

Because Asgard often don't bank/spend as often and so their stash tends to build up higher than those of the other races.

There's no way to stop those firmly established in the top 100 either.
And remember: for an Asgard to focus on his/her defence means a weak attack, as such tauri and, due to the higher naq production, Goa'uld can get fully set up far more quickly and so get into the top positions making themselves difficult to dislodge by an Asgard player.
The top 4 players in quantum are all Goa'uld, in standard the top five are:
Replicator, Goa'uld, Tauri, Goa'uld and Tauri in descending order.

[Sleipnir]

You fail to grasp the point. This game is hardly about attack anymore. It's about how much income you have and how much of it you can keep to yourself. You can easily dislodge someone from the top 100 if you outproduce them every turn. As long as they can't touch you, you'll overtake them in no time.

Wear and tear through use.

11M of wear? It's the same damage as when I AM fired upon, so it's not just the wear and tear or it would be much less.
Say I have 2 tanks, 1 of them I'll just keep firing all day, the other will be firing and be fired upon. Which one will be more damaged at the end of the day? Apparently, there's no difference.

Because Asgard often don't bank/spend as often and so their stash tends to build up higher than those of the other races.

Only those with 300M+ defense will use this tactic anymore now. And attacking those is even more costly. It would end up being 45 turns, 25M repair costs, 30M gains. It's not doable.

It's a new hologram in a different location.

If the first one was a hologram, I'd look around for the real thing and make a firm note of it's location. But that's just me being stupid I guess.
