Re: IMPORTANT VOTE!

I feel raid is a good news / bad news thing. Here is my take on it.

If its left in then the powerful stand on the weak and ascention returns to its previous "Dead" state.

If it is not returned then soon everyone will have massive armies overnight with many wars insueing. the lack of AT will be whinned about nonstop untill AT are made avalible in market and ascended will become 1 with main.

The Resources planets are safe but undevelpoed are not will not work unless initiate revolution is done away with because a few players working together can strip one player of their planets in miuntes .


My suggestion to the problem was to base a "Safe" zone on your CER. There would be a limit that you can't be raided past, and that limit would increase as you CER does.

Example (Very ruff numbers, it just to make a point)
at a CER of ten you cant be raided down past 100 planets
At CER of 100 you can safely keep 1000 planets
At CER of 1000 you can safely keep 10,000 planets etc, etc,etc

So you have a "safe" limit and that limit can be raised by actually playing and improving the account, but inactive accounts can be "feed" off of to increase the growth of actual players. Also as it is now, someone can have every destroyable planet destroyed and the account damaged in everyway possible and in 2 maybe 3 days its right back where it was. This will give the option to hurt an account more by affecting the income on the account and slowing its growth but not stopping it.

I feel something along these lines is a compromise to both sides of this arguement.

Re: IMPORTANT VOTE!

I am against reintroducing raiding. My reasoning is that it was around for most of the existence of ascension, and it didn't help the server in any realistic fashion. It allowed a few to grow faster, but caused more to stop playing altogether.

Re: IMPORTANT VOTE!

All i know is that when i first started playing ascended raid let me grow much more quickly than if it had not been there. I concede that limiting it to undeveloped planets only is probably best, but we need the ability to do more than just try and descend each other, especially when there are those of you out there who are undescendable due to your LF growth rate. If we focus raid on undeveloped then with initiate revolution even if all a persons resource planets are made revolutioned you can still replace them by terrafroming other planets like intel / dark. som maybe just replace intitiate revolution with raid or limit intiaite revolution, but raid is definetly necessary.

The ascended server is all about being smart... if you're not smart enough about in what to invest, you won't grow... it's that simple.

This is not true. Some of us were smart and invested in ways to grow. Now that we are above 2 billion planets, our growth rate is being reduced gradually to 0.
