Game Update, oct 24,07

* Ascended Battles require you to have 10x the enemy defence, in offence. This allows you to neutralize their army completely, while you (the ascended being) can then enter the realm undisturbed. You will ONLY engage in an ascended battle with your enemy - the armies do not get involved.
In short - you need 10x the enemy defence to engage in an ascended battle, but armies do not come into play - it is pure one on one.

So now only the big accounts have any chance of deascending any other account, and once you have been massed, good luck in trying to rebuild your stats so you can deascend anyone with your enemies farming your DMU now that you have low-no def... There is no way to fight back now. First strick wins and biggest accounts are protect,,, Thats fun, NOT.

Oh boo hoo, you aren't complaining about the guys in TAAE that have no strike and no defense, but have 9mill LF doing ascended attacks are you, there has to be a happy medium, granted 10 times the defense might be somewhat nasty, but it just means you need to destroy there defense first i swear some people just want all the skill taken out of the game altogether.

This update wont change the fact thats its practically impossible to deascend alot of ppl so stop ur whining! All this means is that u have to mass them first and with the current increase of everyones CER that wont be too hard at all, theres still the damn cap that all the weaker accounts hide behind

[High Empty]

Guys, i hate to say this. BUt i never worried about your defence before, i don't worry now.
I Just hit it. my CS blows thur your defences, and bah a bing i feal some of your defences, but not alot of it.

[kurnous]

What a great idea Now if you want to descend a person you actually have to play Ascension a bit first. Then you have to fight with the enemy before you make them mortal for a bit!

Please explain to me what is unfair about that and what the problem is?

If you dont like it then you know what to do right And cos so many people could not work out what to do admin even came up with a second alternative for you and made a special race that you can become if you no longer wish to play ascension.

So what is the problem?

Thank god the strike requirement is X 10 the defence, other wise people would be falling from the heavens as we speak. This way those of you that are upset about the update have a chance to save your selves.

So there are 2 chances to save your self from being descended! If your still not happy then for a small fee I will come round your house and play the game for you. Im very poor at ascension (just a point I thought needed to make) but I seem to be better at it than those of you who are upset on this thread

So get defence.
Get playing Ascension
descend your self if you cant be bothered.
Become the Demi god thingy (like descended but not really)
Send me money and Ill come round your place and help you (ill just delete the account for you )


Any other questions then please feel free to ask ROFL

Honestly this update won't do anything to help the weaker. An update that doesn't help the tiny and screw over the huge? What a novel concept. Glad to see there's some sanity left in the world!

Allot of people might be upset about this update, because they don't understand exactly what it does. The topic orginator " Join me" was able to deascend easily by Investing all of his APP points into MNEC. He invested nothing into any other personal stats, he invested nothing into Physical attack planets, physical defense planets, Physical covert planets, or Phyiscal assassin planets, little was invested in to exploration fleets. So with a maxed out of weildible life force (beacuse of high MNEC) and a rank modifier highly in his favor ( beacuse all his other stats were very low) he was able to do maxium damage to me every direct assault. My defense was completely negated and overwhelmed by the Rank modifier portion of the attack. Infact "Join me" started with Direct assault with 8 million life force and after blowing thru my defenses he would hit me for just over 10 million life force each attack because of the rank modifier.

I know the range that top 10 ranked players direct assaults are hitting for in the 10-12 lifeforce range per attack.

So hopefully my example will better explain what the update fixes.

Bad update, that is. Hensenshi said it well...

Not true Priape,,
I had stats before my account was massed to nothing by DDE guys,,,
SO once you have 0 def, 0 att(thanks to destroy military), 0 covert, 0 assasins.
How do you get back at the person? especially in a war, they farm your DMU(no bank/no ppt)
you cant mass them back because anything you build you lose let alone get your attack 10x their def.

I played ascended, I grew my CER by 100x since the update, I would have had stats, but thanks to DDE I dont.

And as to "knowing how to play" I obviously knew what I was doing when I made my god strong enought to kill 3 DDE gods and send 2 more running to Vac mode before the update. Maybe if they spent time playing ascended "Properly" they would have a strong god too. Its called strategy, I have one, you have one. Mine was better to keep from deascension and to deascend people, then someone cries foul and we get an update.

How is anyone supposed to recover, build a HUGE attack and deascend someone during a real war where you get destroy attacks every hour on the hour, and your DMU is farmed?
This update makes it "first strike wins" and if we are really going to "role play" how does this sound?
My god does not need any physical help, or does not even have to bother with your petty defences,,, My god vs, your god, PERIOD.
Sorry your god is weak.
My kung fu is strong
