For those ascending

Would be nice for a countdown of days to appear where the ascension picture usually is, if you have to wait.

you need to wait two weeks to ascend again.. and need those 1001g&r
i dont see much use on this, only add more info and lag to the server..

While I actually like the idea of a countdown, but I think its not worth the effort. It would require to many checks, as all you are really counting down is time if you have the G&R because if you dont have the G&R it cant start counting as you can get knocked out of G&R at any time.


There is to much server lagg and worthless information already.

If done I definitely would say update it 12 to 24 hrs, and not constantly on turn change.

i agree with some of the negative results, but it could just be a count that focuses on the next fastest possible ascension, which would eliminate extra variables such as if your in glory or not. i dont think it would cause any extra lag if it updated every day. it doesnt have to go down to the hour. it would just be nice if it showed something like "The process of ascending has weakened your potential to ascend again for X amount of days"

anyways, thanks for the comments guys.

may be some txt line saying when was your last ascencion? easy to add 14 days to ascend again and we can keep track of how long was our last ascencion

What about the people who aren't ascending though? They don't need this information and it will just clog up their screens.

well, in my idea, the text would disappear once the counter has expired. which means it is there for a short time. also, i wouldn't go as far to say 1 line of text below stats would be too cluttering.

If they are not ascending, the text wouldn't be there. the text would only be visible for 15 days after ascending to let you know when you can ascend again.

The point of this is to avoid keeping track of days manually, so it would be better if it was an explicit counter. i honestly don't see why this shouldnt be implemented, as it would be a convenience. It also wouldn't be too much effort or lines to code.

if you intend to ascend every two weeks, straight after you ascend, copy and paste the time and date and send your self a message then save it.. :lol: saves all them lines of code and isn't to hard to do.. :lol:
