Accension is really fun, but the ping is really high. Idk why I feel very smooth at Spires, even I see my 80 ping when I choose server. I am form Hong Kong. Dodging is the key to win. I guess Hollow’s Dav’s Darts should be the highest dps weapon. But it is totally useless with high ping. With high ping, I prefer big ranged melee, such as Joyous Pummelling. But the game encourages you to collect full set or 2 plus 2. Normally you don’t have many choices.
Teamwork and mic are important. Everyone keeps sprinting. It is so hard to ping an enemy. I hope I can ping where are the enemes but not only telling enemies are near by me. Also you can’t really survive if 3 guys focus on you. But I can’t find other Chinese players. I understand the player population is the key. And solo mode will split the players and destroy the balance of items.
Thanks for letting us know about your experience! We are still figuring out how to best support the community in China and it’s really helpful to know about your ping. I’ll make sure the team is aware of this!
New update. Idk why. Every Spires game is smooth. But most of my Ascension games feel like 150 ping+, even it says 80 on the top left corner. Like 1 out of 10 Ascension game would be smooth. Another player at Discord says same for him. I guess there is something wrong with your server.
I just can’t enjoy the game rn. I love Accension. Spires mode is just a practice mode for me. I am willing to pay if there is a useful VPN. This game is not like LOL. Every auto attack is able to be dodged. Delay is so lethal. Sometimes I see my attacks hit + effect sound, but no damage deal(not immual).
Btw, if there is a fun PVE mode would be great! Bosses with complicated mechanics like Elden Ring or ff14. Plus an economic system like Spires.
The numbers of player is really important for these game. So I suggest set this game free. But I can tell the development cost is high for this game. The gameplay, art and sound is great.
-PVE DLC could be a consideration.
-Skin.
-Maybe limited games per day for free players. But 1 game could be 3mins or 30mins. Or to count the in-game time(better not include the waiting time).
-One more PVE idea is to let player choose to set the type and position of monsters, for other players to challenge. Other players can see the deployment and consider buy what item.
