@krinid I've burned out too. I open my game, look at it, and realize I'll have to sit down for 20 minutes to set up/finish the level and I'm just not motivated to do it.

just super ascended! add me to the leaderboard

Added. Welcome to the super-ascended club Gincompetent!

@Master Jz, I hear ya ... it just becomes a cycle to recue the cycle. Play for another X hours so that you can do it again and make it take 0.95x hours, and repeat. The sad part actually is that it took me this long to quit. There really hasn't been anything new after the first few Ascensions. SAsc's is just a trick to make it appear that there is something new, but there really isn't. I guess the new levels were new but really nothing exciting.

hard to find the long-term motivation, as with almost all Idle type of games.. my reason to super-ascend was to check new levels and reach related achievements to keep my percentage :) ... no plans to SA again...

so while yall rush to finish the levels and SAsc and then lose the motivation to continue, I slowly take my time enjoying my first ascension and by the time I finish, hopefully Fizzer will add something new...

1st Ascension was indeed long . . . after 10th-ish Ascension, clear speed picks up, motivation goes down. The dejavu feelings kick in ... b/c yes you have done this before.

Good that I'm playing it "slow" by not using skip levels and therefore not doing Hex Earth.

I am with Brak on only supering once for the levels

Personally,
1: It's enough Grindy McGrindface as it is, all those ascends and then ascends again after you super, I can see getting sick of the game
1a: I am not looking forward to the first ascend, back to 0 AP, sure you have some artifacts but still. Back to the slog, I'll do it once for the new maps but that is it.
2: You will get to the point where you have all the AP stuff bought ans plenty of idle time much faster if you stick with it instead of resetting for the 25% bonus
3: Sure you can super over and over to get your dig time down, but 50% from AP is enough and they say AP>artifacts. Also at least if you don't super again you get to keep all your swag, and you are digging all the time at 50% once you maxed out AP Dig
3a: Insane artifacts take an insane amount of time, it just isn't worth it. Also if you got all the maps done, and all the AP bought and the important ones at legendary... what benefit does spending who knows how long to get them insane really get you. Sure sure, you can haz all the girls but other than that. The game is pretty much done by then anyways

I actually don't mind the early part of each super asc because it's not much effort per level. It's levels Europe Huge that are the problem because it's so much clicking and crafter micromanaging.

what is a superascension

you don't know?? 🤣🤣🤣

Super Ascension is a lot like ascension but resets all your progress to unlock bonus levels.

I didn't know that actually

@joey
Welcome to my thread!

@Quantum
Superascension is a endgame mechanism introduced in the 5.16 update. You can read about it in
https://www.warzone.com/blog/
(it's currently at the bottom of page 1)

After you invested 100k AP in phase 4, you can reset everything and go back to having 0 AP and no advancement, and can only keep 2 artifacts, but get one of the following permanent boost:
+25% AP when you complete levels
Keep 1 more artifact when you superascend again
+20% faster digging
+100AP starting AP when you superascend again

Note that these boosts can stack. So if you superascend for 10 times and each time you choose the +25% AP option, it becomes +250% AP

Oh, and also in your first superascension you unlock the 17 new levels.

5th super

then what is ascension?

then what is ascension?

Just resetting all the maps.
