not a single person can be descneded with 2 hits. If they are full in LF and reserves, it takes 4 hits minimum that is a total of 9 hours, even IF they have all 0's. IF they hit someone and refill their stats, that makes it so they have 12 hours to be descended. At 800s it becomes 5 hits, and raises from their depending on stats, but this is against a 5b ToC.Jedi~Tank wrote:Iƒrit wrote:Jedi~Tank wrote:The point is CAP IT ALL or do nothing..constant catering to the few has to stop otherwise the downspiral of this game will not stop..EVERYONE that whaled about helping newbies out, and making things more level and competitive..ITS TIME TO PUT PEOPLE. As long as money is allowed to be used in this game thats what is going to rule, the solution is to CAP IT ALL. Money spenders can spend, power players can use power, noobs can grow up and its all nice and level and comepetitive LIKE IT SHOULD BE. STOP CATERING TO THE FEW and serve the many.
this is what I was saying about the money market a page ago when it was told to not be discussed. Ascended though is competitive and easy to play, there is nothing in my mind that I can think of that needs to be capped cause its VERY balanced, if anything do not allow cross server trades.
How can you say its balanced when I can hit one of my doc and descend them in 2 hits= what 6 hours? What if that man is at work and cant log on..he suppose to risk a job to log into a lame game?
Which brings me to another one in the initial post, tie ascended completely or cut it completely, if a player misses a 2 day ppt and gets descended thats fine..but the time frame give for such is wrong and fact they cant be blocked is wrong. STOP CATERING TO THE FEW, and serve the many.

~Da Vinci~ wrote:that is constructive your complaining because your players don't pay enough attention to ascended were they only need to spend a little time getting stats up then they only need to check it once a day..

So you plan on waiting two or so years for the rest of us to catch up?Nostra wrote:Yes money spenders would still have it more easy, wheter it will be buying a level 40 covert, or buying 300 million more uus.

1. It DOES matter what its spent on, understatement of the century.
2. It already is tremendously large for smaller players.
There are better alternatives to capping, or capping one thing even when its more of a game mechanic fix needed and not kill everyone off. Although you could make the cap based on someone who hasnt spent monies and let it rise as they do, everyone can be limited to them, and instead of removing levels, they gain the level for free (unless it wasnt previously bought) as the cap rises. See how most of you 'fighters' fair after that.
+1 to what ifrit said as well. Its the persons ignorance that will get him descended under 12 hours.

So, again, say screw it to those who might work 8-10hrs a day and have an hour+ drive to and from work. And then, make them run to a computer as soon as they get home.

and the same argument could be said for those that need 15+ hours to log in, 12 hours is an obnoxious amount of time to descend someone. If its that hard, you have options, vacation in war and in peace time raise your levels.

If it were to be anymore than crap all would happen.
Its a 12 hour start, you can EASILY increase it, and you generally only get descended in a war, so if you work an 10 hour shift in a war then you should expect such things, regardless of any server. If you cant hack it, there is a vac button for a reason, kindly separated from main so you can vac one and still play the other.
@Nostra and thats why i never bother replying to you, because you just dont get/comprehend it.
And if i speak for the legion then you speak for the whole of the DDE empire, good thing you show their true colours brightly.

If you don't play for 15+ hrs, then I highly doubt you could be considered active anyways, your arguement has no mettit tbh =/
What's worse, giving up 4 days a week of trying to descend someone (via ppt) or someone leaving the game?
