What was the point ???

I am just started ascending again for the first time in norm.

To cut my time down i thought i would use the 3point gnr ranks to do it 3 times faster, then i was getting 5 gnr points instead of 3
and could ascend 2 times a week almost, I finally get up to enough GnR points to ascend and it tells me this instead of the little ascension picture.

There is a 14 day rest period between ascensions. Before then you are too weak....

So if i new this crap i would have never waisted my UU in building myself to be ranked in the top 100 and the extra cost of repairing my off weapons on farming runs was putting a sizeable dent in my profits too.

can some one tell why can you earn so many GnR points only to have to wait just like if you were getting 1 point per turn. ???

Re: What was the point ???

well it kinda sucks i thought i could get all my ascensions out the way in 2 and bit months now it will take me just over 8 months :cry:

But now i know i can keep myself small for a week and raid heaps then just jump to 140-1 rank get 5 GnR points and then ascend,
still 1 ascension in a fortnight to the 3 i was hoping for kinda slowing me down but at least i know i don't have only 4 days to make about 20 trill naq to rebuild each 5th day too :-k

Well guess that's that so mods you can close or lock topic

and thanx for the info and help

Re: What was the point ???

The original reason was to stop some hackers/cheater/exploiters who were ascending every few days. Then it was never removed when it was determined how they were doing it.

How where they doing it? Something I picked up from another forum member a while back who mentioned that some had managed to trick the game into giving them more than one ascension at a time. Genius, whoever pulled that off if true.

No, it was not more then 1 at a time, they could just produce infinite amounts of resources at will. They ascended, hit rank 1, had rank 1 stats, and planets that were uncreatable due to their not even being that many resources in the game.

Then he just left the measure in the game. There were alot of complaints back in the day. Remember when Brian went 45 days straight on PPT doing speed ascentions (Back when there was only 10 of them).

Re: What was the point ???

The 14 days period tricked me too when I started ascending again, you're not the only one :D
but the regret of investing so much in getting in top 100 will be over when you realise how expensive are in fact the 23 ascensions...hope it's worth in the end lol
as for me, the fact there are so many and it takes so much time to give 23, 14 days instead of 20 still seem good enough to get me to 100 rank asfter each ascension
good luck

There is a 14 day rest period between ascensions. Before then you are too weak....


I feel your pain :( lol

Re: What was the point ???

23 ascentions times 2 week intervals is 46 weeks of ascending if you never miss an ascention. Add that to the the time to get started and ready for the first and your looking at a year to a year and a half.

Guess you do atleast have a "long term" goal here LOL
