Acsending is fun and great but personally the progress is long and slow thats discouraging

My suggestion would be to scrap:

Prior
Prohpet
Messiah
Incarnate

Witch means if u acsend it will take u directly to:

Living God
Ancient God
Elder Ancient God
Elder Ancient God of Legend
Immortal Ancient God
Timeless Ancient God
Prince of Timeless Ancient Gods
Lord of Timeless Ancient Gods
Queen of Timeless Ancient Gods
King of Timeless Ancient Gods
God of the Ancient Gods
The Origin of Existence
The UnSpeakable
The UnNamed
The UnKnown

Even this list is long, I would perfer that the cost of acsending is higher and the list shorter... I don't know what u guys thinks about it.

Conqueror of the New World right? But then for an ascended account you need to ascend this NG account in main.

Would make the game more appealing, but like is said before, that's why they put the NG account option in it for newcomers to get into it allot easier.
It's not like they reduce the levels in WoW for instance.

I made an account for Newgrounds no offence but I don't like it at all :?
(I even dare to say its more difficult than main is)

Main is allot more familiar, althougt thats a personal opinion...

And since I allready have an account I don't feel like running 3 accounts.

Anyway it's an suggestion.

yes ive said this for a long time , ascentions take the piss for new players

even NGM takes the piss for new players....

especially in this time of the game being lower on players that it has been in the past , there aint as much help and guidance about as there use t be... so new players join , get confused maybe ascend once , see they lose everyhting , give up and dont play.


boring. tbh

edit: p.s NGM is too easy :smt043 :smt043 :smt043 only limit is the ascention timer, and farming limits., else you could be in main in a day haha

why not just start all new accounts as priors? (took me a year the first time to ascend..ahhh ye goode ol days )

one problem with fast ascentions is you tend to end up with crap ascended accounts

or people can always do what I did and post asking for a higher ascended account,

the only noobs that stick around are the ones that start playing and right away find someone and talk to them on skype/ingame. anyone who tries to do it without that will just quit.

reason being (my opinion) if you start taking to someone they can get you into an alliance and most likely give you a descent starter account (like 37/35 unknown) to jump start there GW gaming.

Even for players who know how to play, it takes forever to ascend all the way. If I was new, I would quit for sure. It would be different if there was no cap. But there is a cap.

As far as having a crappy ascended account, it's easy to grow quick in ascended once you figure out how to play.

and on top of ascending makes your ascended account better... to get 40t cache it takes over 3 months... 40t is not alot do really do anything and for it to take 3 months to only get 40t. its not really worth ascending to make your ascended better because you still have to wait forever to get it.

all in all it will take longer to get 200t cache from ascending then ascending all the way to unknown. and 200t you can get below average.

just did the math on this

lets say your tc cache earnings are 8.3-

200t cache divided by 8.3-b = about 24,000 (turns it will take to get 200t cache)

now 24,000 divided by 48 (turns in a day) = 500 (days to get 200t cache)

now with that simple math you can see it will take 500 days (1 year and 4 months about) to aquire 200t cache.... i can use the turns from the trade and get more then that alot faster

What kind of arbitrary maths do you call that?

APP to LFC conversion ratio is not fixed, the larger you expanse the faster APP will convert each TC. Also, APP to LFC conversion is pure gravy, zero effort 100% safe. Nothing stops you farming extra DMU it's not like you don't generate turns while your APP is converting.

Any 'new' player can follow the optimised guide for New Grounds and have a lvl 20 account on main within a very short time, such a hardship ascending the last few times to Unknown. :roll:

We want MORE progression opportunities in the game, not LESS.
