Penalties on main for ascended account put on vacation mode

The option to descend it's not yet implemented and still some players have put their ascended account on a more or less 'permanent' vacation mode.

The main ideea is that if you can put your ascended account on vacation and play the main account you will suffer some losses in bonuses. Insted of 30% in all stats, have only 15% or even no bonus at all. After all the bonuses come from the fact that once ascended you have a deeper knowledge of the universe ...... to be on vacation mode in ascended server would mean to lose that knowledge or not to be able to use it.

We all know that ascended and main server are linked, so it makes sense that vacation mode should be corelated. There are a few options :

1. If you put one account on vacation mode, either the mian one or the ascended one, both will enter vacation mode. If you really are away from the game, from personal reasons, it's absurd to be able to play 1 server and not the other.

2. You can put your main account on vacation, but ascended account can be played. Because you exist as energy in ascended realm it's kind of hard to be on vacation :-D ..... there is no bank and no ppt there, so this makes sense.

This will not allow peolpe that have ascended to keep their bonuses in main without fear of being descended .... they ascended so they must take the goods and the bads .... they enjoy the benefits, but won't take the risks .... this is not fair.

If this were to be implemented at least some people will be able to 'touch those untouchable' atm .....

i dont go on vacation mode in acention but personaly i find it quite boring do i dont like to play it, why shouldn't i be able to leave it on vacation, taking a break from the universe doesn't mean that knowledge is lost

however the logical thing would be the loss of acendant blessing in main due to the vacation casuse if the acended account is on vacatoin it cant possibly give the blessing

What Nostradamus is saying is that if you get descended, you lose ascended bonuses in main. Some might go on vacation mode to prevent their descension and just play main with huge bonuses without fear of losing them.

i know, im saying that if on vacation mode yoou should only lose the acended blessing, your main count shouldn't become stupid because the acended guy is taking a break,

Think about the logic
The ascended being is the one giving the physical realm the knowledge of ascended blessing, more powerful weapons, how to advance their soldiers more-so than the norm, and if that being takes a break, then whats to say the physical realm will still be able to continue producing the weapons without the guidance of the ascended, etc?

yah you dont lose the intelegence or the technology once its givin to you, if your teacher goes on vacation do you stop being able to do multiplication? no, its the same thing when you have the blueprints you can produce it even when the engineer who made the prints leave

vacation mode has nothing to do with game play, people should not be penalized because they want to leave their computer for a couple of days. I think that, yes the vacation mode should apply to both, so if your on vacation in on your on it in the other, that does not sound unreasonable.

yes because vacation mode is a great way to hide, besides realisticly your acended self is diferent then your main self same as your q and chaos selfs.

acording to your logic if one went on ppt then all would get it

i would point out that you are both right. there should not be penalities for being on vacation mode. there should be penalties for being on vacation mode all the time (the people who log in every two months to renew it)
it shouldn;t be hard to implement a vacation counter thing and after 3 weeks on vacation mode it implements penalities on main. (and to prevent abuse of this, it would require your account to be active for at least 3 weeks before being able to go on vacation mode again)

No, ascension server is boring atm for me (ATM i'm on critical all the time to stop being attacked, and I log in once a day to spend my power points), and if decension comes, I'll want to see what the "dangers" of it are, if it's too much, I'll vacation mode my account for ages, because I don't want to play or have the time to play the equal 3rd most boring server (main and chaos is enough for me), because it's so slow for me.

I don't want to risk losing my hard earned main bonuses because I got descended in a server I don't play much anymore, because a living god with 6x ascensions and is ranked top 50 in Ascension decided to use my account to test decension out.

Vacation mode is there for a reason, to stop your account completely in that server. Hurting people who choose to use it is stupid.

actually, might we have an ascended option to do just that, but isn't vacation mode. (what oma did with anubis)

well its just that the only thing that could possible make sence (and im not saying we should cause honestly acention is very boring, i do the same thing twice a day i log on to spend points on random stuff) is to lose the acended blessing when your acended acount is on vacation. i can;t find any other realistic downside for your main acount if your acended self is on vacation

I wonder why you can't sell your ascended account witout the main one .... maybe because they are linked :wink: :wink: You can sell your quantum and chaos account alone ...... wow ... they must not be linked to the others.

Vacation mode is there to stop your account from being hurt if you must be away from the game for a while. If you are away you can't play any game.

The problem is that vacation mode is being abused and something must be implemented in order to stop it. I throwed in my 2 cents, others did too, I like the ideea with a counter on how long you spend on vacation mode ..... maybe other interesting ideeas will come up.

i said they are linked, but the only link that should exist should be that when on vac mode you just cant have the acended blessing. basically the main accounts are on their own except for the blessing so thats all that should be lost, if that

i dunno why ppl put their ascended account on vac. why not lt it gather energy, or turns, etc. but hey, i love ascension.
i do agree tho, those that put ascended accounts on vac should lose the bonuses on main during the vac period.
