Right, so why are people talking like ascendant is some sort of super bashing buff by itself


That's another thing all together. The reason for the end game review was because apparently demigods became too exclusive when we had 100 of them, so they made the exclusive content limited to 12ish players while the rest just got the nerfed version.

Aren't all of the ascendant cult abilities available to everybody in the cult? Most of the ascendant powers are pretty neat but there's only like 2 or 3 that are really strong abilities to be envious of.

Fillin is 'op'. It happens everywhere - someone is better than someone else. Eventually, there's someone who is simply 'better'. It is an unfortunate fact in a world where systems aren't banned, there's stats and levels, and you can do more than kick each other. sad.gif The upside is that you, too, could be 'op' - and that is the definition of equality! Or something. ninja.gif

And the game still has to grow into supporting two new cities - without a large jump in playerbase (very large) there's no realistic expectation of Ackleberry coming back.

So if you want Ackleberry and to find out about Jojobo, go vote! Bring us new players! cheer.gif


Ah-hah! This supports my earlier claim. suspicious.gif

I'm a bit confused why people talk so much about Jojobo.

There have been a lot of hints, some IC (some stuff in the Elder Wars books) and more OOC (some things Estarra has said in the Ask Estarra videos, most decisively), that they're likely to come back as opposition to one another. More to the point, it's been said absolutely that everyone will have their opposite, and there's really nothing else on the table to be Ackleberry's. Combine that with the corroborating hints Estarra has thrown us, and it's all but certain. If you think about how other things have played out that were certain before, the smart money is on two things: 1) It will happen how we're guessing, and 2) We will all nevertheless be entirely surprised by how it actually happens.

I'm not saying it is, or is not, an organization. I'm simply saying if you want to find out that answer, you'll have to see it happen!

You're mixing up Veneration (which goes with cults and requires an Avatar) with the Ascendant stuff. Avatars don't have to be Ascendants or vice versa anymore.

Don't forget the availability of a system where you can just turn it on and then read a book / watch TV while it bashes the entire Undervault for you with no effort / further input.

Such things tend to skew numbers just a bit between people who use it and those who don't. tongue.gif

This is true. However, if you do use such a system, and an administrator attempts to contact you and you do not respond (whether you're in another window, reading a book, playing a video game, etc) while your system is moving around and bashing for you, you will be shrubbed.

Trigger your system to make says in the room, or any tell, trigger a nice loud unique noise. Issue voided, technically impossible to 'prove'.

Except for times when you spend 10-30 minutes bashing with the AFK person for free xp and they don't notice you. But that's not really proof, heh. At least not administrative-enforceable proof.

Ughhh, two days of this great hunt and I'm already sick and tired of this. Why did this have to be a four-day great hunt? sad.gif Three days, or even two, would have been perfectly sufficient. I want to have a life this weekend.

You know, you don't need to do any hunting.

So that those of us with a life are also able to get 2500 points?

A valid point, but one already considered and accounted for.

Ceren isn't really some unstoppable force in the game, he is just better than a lot of people. He can be beat though! Hell, I've beat him 1v1 with old Palisade.
