I have an error on that point. I had my LF at full (over 3billion) and bought two repulsion upgrades at less than 2mil each and my LF has now been drained to less than 2mill. WTH? I should have been able to by dozens of that upgrade, so why did it drain so gorram quickly? The price is still below 2mil per upgrade.

that would be a bug im guessing... cause if you bought 2 levels that cost under 2 mill, and it took 3bill life force... theres soemthing wrong

I have LF, but the site won't let me add any power. Its saying I don't have enough, when I do.
Its hung and won't let me use my LF.

I have that same problem, but the page wouldnt load earlier, but admin changed it yet again on us.
Now you can ONLY buy upgrades with Cache and LF will be used incase you dont have enough in Cache but you have to have something in Cache to buy upgrades.
LF gets filled Fast
Reserve gets fill Slow
Then Cache gets filled even Slower
And LF and Reserve must be full before Cache gets any points/value
So admin is forcing us to covert APP to LF/reserve/cache and ascend more to get more APP, or you will have to wait for all your stuff to fill which will probably take aprox a year if you do the math depending on your limits and increase rates.

If thats true, that little change is going to kill Ascension for me. I thought the point of the changes was to increase the appeal of the game

This is on the upgrades screen:
Here you can use your surplus strength of will (Ascended Life Force cache) to build upon your strengths...becoming forever more powerful in this realm.
Remember, you use only excess will - so you need to have full Ascended Life Force, and reserves, before you can gain (and therefore use) Ascended Life Force Cache. Or use currency to fuel your life energies, if you do not want to use time....
Hope everyone has been building this:
Maximum Natural Energy Capacity
While you are below your natural self energy capacity, you move quickly up to this level (energy flow). While you are above this level, you can accumulate more, but it is temporary, and slow (energy channeling). Maximum Natural Energy Capacity - your 'normal' maximum energy levels, are what is determined by this ability or trait. By concentrating on just your energy maximum, you can push that limit, increasing your natural maximum. This - in effect - is the gateway to getting more powerful as an ascended being.
Then look at your introspection page:
Reserve / Cache Rate Per Turn While at Maximum
(LF fills first(fast), then reserves(slower), then cache(slowest)

Well if it`s an update, we should have been noticed earlier, not after spending most of our APP into Energy Flow Ability...

Yep, all that is good for now is um oh yeah nothing. Would take someone to go thru all your reserve life before they get to your LF if attacking you directly to decend you. And if they have the means to get rid of all your reserves, then the little bit of LF you have wont make much difference and your regen rate for LF wont matter since you won't have any LF for more then 1 turn.
Admin should make
Energy Flow Ability
and
Energy Channeling Skill
the same so you only have to increase one and then all 3 LF/Reserve/Cache increases at a set rate per powerup. It would make more sense with the way things are setup now.
Oh and someone noticed that APP goes up 1 point per turn. So if you convert it everyday you can get more LF/reserve/cache that way and not just from your regular per turn rate.

I don't know about you guys but I got my max channeling at like 300

That stealth update sucks though. the only thing I wish we can have is a LF -> LF reserve convert

I don´t get this, what the "std life force" value meant for now then?
I mean if Cache is the only thing we can buy power ups for?

And wouldn´t it render Energy Flow totally useless?

when ever i try to buy a power up it says "You are not powerful enough to accomplish such a feat." I have more then enough life force...

This extra update that means you can only use cache for upgrades isn't cool (if it is an intended change) I believe it says on SGW base page "to make it more fun, more equal, and give even newer players a chance to compete" well doing this gives the long time ascension players a huge advantage, now I'm not saying they shouldn't have one for sticking around for so long but I thought the idea of this update was to give new ascension players a better shot to compete and this extra update gives the veteran ascension players a huge advantage because they will have built up massive incomes and so can convert their income into LF cache (if their LF is full) and then into LF Reserves so they're going to be getting powerups long before everyone else.....
Full LF + Full LFR = LFC = Powerups

This extra update (if it is that, still don't know for sure) shouldn't have taken place at all, how long is peoples' interest is going to last in ascension if they did barely any powerups on their Energy Channeling Skill?
The answer is not very long because without a decent ECS it will take forever before you can do any powerups at all.....

Exactly, there isn't even a notice on the game screen about another update taking place. I thought the mods used to ask the community about their ideas?
I have a question....if I "cash in" my AP will the balence transfer to my reserves and then into my cache? Otherwise it does no good to use the AP since you can't buy with LF.
