Ascension!

[Obliteration]

So for a bonus to this game I am going to borrow "Jade Dynastys" idea of anscension.
How does it work? You hit level forty and go talk to an Npc in town and ascend! Taking you back to level 1, you lose your level and keep your attribute points/ skill points! Being able to reach 40 again with twice the character potential. But only being able to wear level according gear. You can only ascend once.

" what happens once a new dungeon is released? Well 40 will be the set ascension level. say you make it to 45, then ascend well you only get the attribute and skill points of a level 40"

Your expected responces, my answers.

1. Hey Ob wouldn't pvp suck then?
No! Ascended players have their own pvp matches.
2. Hey Ob overpowered much? Not really, leveling to 40 twice with character deserves a reward. Your gear won't be better, but yes your skill and attribute points would be.
3. Your stupid!
Thanks, let's fight. And I don't mean in-game.

Your Stupid!

Anyway, I think that it is sort of a good idea. Yah, it would give level capped players more to do, but what happens when you ascend and a new dungeon comes out? Wouldn't that have been a waste of the ascension that you just did because you would have to level to 45 and then ascend and level to 45 again.

Oh very valid point I was about to update for this.

So basically to get the double skill points to 45, you would have to ascend to 45 again?

Well you could only ascend once, or they would call you Odin. Lol

What I meant is say your first time around you hit 45 then decide to ascend, you get the same skill/attribute points you would at 40, so ascending at 45 has no advantage.

[Obliteration]

Or ascend more than once I assume... Say you ascend at 40, but cap is 45 you could ascend a 3rd time for 5 more skill points/ attributes. That would suck. or get reset 5 levels and gain them back.

I like that idea, not many games do stuff like that. Did you happen to ever play the sarcastic Kingdom of Loathing game? J/w

I'd say your idea is great but optionally make it any range of % for carried over thru ascension stats. Like first time you keep 10 stat points and 1 skill point. 2nd 20. 3rd 30. Or similar.

I'd say that'd cut down on idle town sitters.

So basically, we throw away all our work and level for another 2 weeks, getting double the attribute points and being invincible. Ruins the purpose of the game, if I went back to level 1 and play to 40 and got 196 Str and Dex, I would be invincible and wouldn't find the game challenging, only boring, and easy!
