25 thoughts on “Ascension FAQ & Eager Players Hit a Wall!

  1. great article with a lot of answers to many FAQ’s

    dont think they will, or should for that matter, hand out any bans. since a fix was put in, there was literally zero effect on the game meanwhile botters run rampant.

  2. I want to come back! I want to believe in the end this will be a good thing for EQ2. Altar was the last expansion i enjoyed. Waiting for this to all clear up before i entertain raiding again. Miss you all.

  3. Would be nice sometimes that through the NPC you could get more knowledge about this in game. Sometimes it is frustrating to be in the dark… Information is crucial, for the scrolls being tradable, I transfered once between my toons yes, exploit!?!? I don’t know, I thought it was a bug that they fixed after the launch. Sometimes nowadays it is hard to know what is a bug or a feature, seriously!!

  4. This all seams complicated for the sake of complication. Whats wrong will regular XP. Looks to me like the Ascension classes where not ready gor launch, so DG put in a road block so they could play catch up.

    1. This is a bit complicated, but not much more than several existing systems.

      The idea is that xp gain can be converted to Ascension XP. However, the capacity to do so is limited to a certain amount of XP at a time…however, this amount can be replenished or extended by two means. First, the scrolls, which add a certain amount to your current capacity depending on old or new scrolls and account type. Second, 20k capacity is added every hour, whether you’re logged in or not. It’s sort of like vitality, except the “extra” is diverted to Ascension XP.

      Finally, there is an absolute cap to capacity at 7 million. That is to say, you can convert no more than 7 million XP without needing replenishment of some sort.

      Example: Let’s say you have 1 million capacity. You run a dungeon and earn 250k XP; this is converted to Ascension XP and you have 750k remaining. Let’s say you run three more and earn about 780k; 750k are converted (your remaining capacity) and the other 30k wasted…except, of course, NOBODY is running four dungeons in an hour on one toon right now! So let’s say that takes four hours. In that time 80k was automatically added to what you could convert, and you actually have 50k remaining, which you can add to with a scroll or just by logging off and getting that sleep thing I hear so much about…

      Hope that helps a little.

    2. I don’t know why they didn’t stick with the terminology of last year, which was XP Vials. The image of a glass vial imparts the idea of something you need to fill without having to say a word.
