Look to be 100% honest
its bs people have to wait over a year to get to unknown..
b4 they could really start to play the game as competitive as the rest.

this will not attract players.
this will annoy recently joined players.


those who are unknown will ask wth? we earnt it we waited etc
revert them dwon to a 10 level ascened account and give them some kind of bonus to their Ascended.

or

remove the 2 week cap between ascentions.
basicly saying those who have the ability to invest in the ascentions can do so at will.
its taking far to long for the cost's to get to a decent level of ascened.
in a game where people can buy naq for a buck and build accounts.

No.
Maybe between 1st and the 10 ascension but not the full haul to the top.

I agree with second option but only for those who are belowe LG + 4 and i would give them more resources when they register to have better start-up. :-"

Add an option that will make admin $ and I'm sure he'll jump all over it :roll:. Suggest USS also gives an ascension and we'll see that added next week ](*,).

I would say, to improve/update the new registered accounts, ie the non ascended players with technologies that allows them to improve their special skill tech (defense for asgard, attack for tauri, covert for replicators, income for goauld) to be equal with the top ascended account when on maximum, ie the unknown in that field.

The explanation would be simple... being that the existence of ascended beings has been revealed through their continuous involvement on the mortal planes, and acknowledged by the race ie asgard, replicators, tauri, goauld, they have developed means to counteract them with technology - has been shown in the movie Stargate: The Ark of Truth.

This way, those who don't want to ascend can have some specialization but they will not be as powerful as the unknown accounts.

I'd say leave the ascended that are over 10 as they are and build a cap for those currently ascending, a cap for only 10-11 ascensions max and invest more in improvements for those to counter the AB and stats increase.

I support your first option primarily. That or just 1/2 the bonuses they give. So that the first 6 give 15%, and the last lost only give 0.5% stat boost, and 1% AB chance increase. Refund what people have spent, or don't.

The second option is probably most viable. Make the first 10 0 waiting period, the next 10 1 week, and the last 3 2 weeks.

Wrong the first 6 = 30% bonus to stats and 25% bonus to AB.

After that 1% bonus to stats and 2% bonus to AB per ascentions.

And i love Ascentions lol so i say fix ascentions and stop whining.

0-LG is 60% as the Gods still pity your being...

LG-AG is 30% as the Gods still don't recognize you...

AG-TAG is 15 % as you are now an emerging god...

TAG-GAG is 5 % you are now a god and you can fend for yourself

GAG-TUK 1 % you are now on top of the universe and it is your turn to return the power balance

lovely so cutting the effort and wait for noob accounts would just be speeding up the game for them which makes it rly unfair u would have to boost everyone's % a bit to even it out as others had to wait that year :/

I disagree with removing ascensions yes its a long and costly processes, however, speeding it up I do agree with, there is no reason you shouldnt be able to hit ascend as soon as you have the requirements for the first 10-12, ascensions after that make it a 2 week wait like it is now still making it roughly 27-29 weeks to hit unknown. which is about half a year. And the cost of the last 5 are big enough that I dont see begginers hitting it fast without putting in alot of work.

The first 12 ascensions should be your grace period and from them you should know the game and be able to ascend.

I don't see how fixing ascended server (at least this is what i assume when you say fix ascentions) will solve anything... apart from lack of activity on there.

I don't see the attraction of joining a game, and knowing that you have to play for 9 months, not matter how much time or effort you put in, before being able to compete. There didn't used to be a time delay as far as i know. It was only introduced when the next 13 were added. So, removing the delay for the first at least 6, just puts it back how others had it about a year or 2 ago.

There was the 14 day delay between ascensions long before the 11-23 where introduced.

my only problem is the time line or cutting it down.
basicly proves that those who'v been here longer then any1 knew will have domanence over them for the better ment over a yer if u tak einto accoutn covert levels. beign sabbing is hell powerful.

and massing cant quite cut it anymore. with out large lose's meaning any1 trying to ascended could never really fight any1 as part of the games role play.
thus eliminating the balance nad newer gamers.
