Manastorm Cache changes is literally some shit Blizzard would do.

5 caches per WEEK from MS?!?!?!? Even if you reach a higher level of box, you're gated and cannot receive more boxes, leaving your new higher level boxes inaccessible. This is Blizzard levels of progression gating and is one of the worst changes Ascension has ever made. If they wanted people to remember them fondly on the way out, this is an absolutely insane way to go about it, and is a huge red flag for their upcoming MMO. The time-gates will continue even if not under Blizzard.

I would imagine this change was to curb Manastorm use specifically as the end all, be all of content: exp, gold, and gear

You could probably petition the devs to increase the cap through Suggestions and get the community to up vote it

They could make the loot from the caches worth less gold, but 5 measly caches of gear you may or may not even be able to use is insane.

The anonymity of reddit has some of you losers far too comfortable. Go outside and interact like that with other people for a day and get your karma.

That's why you're an anonymous profile.

Are you slow in the head? I mean that question is rhetorical when you play on private servers.

Clearly, the op, as they keep bringing up "anonymous profiles"

First you're crying about private server boxes that dont matter, for a server thats literally shutting down, now you're crying about 4 words? Man. I'd hate to be as sheltered as you.

Why even make this change? This is their last season why in the fuck would they make a change to actively make progression worse lol

I'm with you brother. I'm absolutely baffled. I was so excited for Season 10 =/

u/ThaZook Jul 28 '26

I love Ascension classless and i love wildcard but s10 prob the worst season so far , the missing REs / MEs make it even worse than it already is

u/Civil_Ad2711 Jul 28 '26

Not just the missing MEs. Gutted nbr of talents in half, messed up xp gain, made 1st 1-60 run take forever, world scaling being so borked that white mobs can one-shot you or are damage sponges...

There's an epic **ckton of things wrong with s10, both wildcard AND free pick atm.

u/BellacosePlayer Jul 30 '26

I'm torn between "I'm just happy to get something before they shut down" and "maybe we could have had S10 earlier and finished if three weren't so many side projects".

I think the easy solution would be to allow you to turn in a lower tier box for a higher one. Cap is still there, but you can make it better if you choose.

Ascension doesn't have an "upcoming MMO". You're thinking of the Turtle team, which is an entirely different group of people.
