Era 39 - Era of Ascension

QUANTUM ERA 39 Era of Ascension

Ascending brings enlightenment, and greater abilities to grow.
Use it to annihilate your enemies... or just sit in the Ascended Diner and sip your tea.
Your level of enlightenment paves the path to better Weapons, Tech, and more.

NOTE: Ascending does KILL all units. But you keep everything else.
Ascending also provides a 10% per level bonus to all stats
The new era will be starting at May 13 2:00am Game Time, and is a re-run of an old era.
*Given the short amount of time since becoming Quantum Admin, I decided to reuse an old era, to allow me enough time to prepare a better idea for the next era.



A side note: the Top UP link has been revised so that it is not as influential.

I'm guess this means that top UP has less effect at lowering the UP cost for everyone else?

Care to enlighten us as to how exactly it has been changed?

Or am I going to have to wait for the era to open, then spend a few hours tinkering to work it out? Would be easier if you just explained now ^^

What is the current state of affairs when it comes to top UP?

Is there a current equation or something you can give us?

PS: Damnit I woke up at 5.30 because May 12 15:48. Oh well I should probably getting up earlier anyway and stop being such a lazy ass :smt117

There is a formula.. although it wasn't not 100% accurate last era because the cost of UP was actually bugged.

All the formulas / mathematical mechanics are included here =)

Also is there going to be a change to the stupidly overpowered USS in this era?

A free ascension is a bit much if you ask me.

Also the naq cost of ascensions got way to expensive too quickly, even the guys with massive banks couldn't go any further because the cost was too much. It basically meant everyone would only get to a certain level there was NO option to take another ascension or not. Regardless of the tactics they wanted to use.

That does sound a bit much... since when do USS give more in certain Eras? I thought they always gave the same relative amounts of naq, UU, turns, UP boost, banksize increase and PPT... SURELY thats enough

agreed, should not get a free ascension with USS. makes it way more difficult for the people who cant buy them.
