Where should Project Ascension Refugees go?

Chromiecraft, Grimfall, or somewhere else?

Grimfall from my experince was ok, but its so bare bones it honestly felt like playing season 1 again on ascention. Its fine i guess but honestly i would just wait a year with that and check back tbh. I imagine once it gets some updates it will be a bit more fun.

u/Zevyu 1d ago edited 1d ago

Yeah barebones is the way to describe it.

After playing area 52, and both season 10 servers it does feel so odd to play something with so limited options, even the runes available feel limited, like how is there no legendary runes for arcane missile.

And while tanks get super good legendary runes like the pulsating consecration field and the thunder clap summoning a storm for AoE damage.

Frost mages get....errr...deal frost/nature damage 20 times to proc an AoE, which almost never triggers because either fights don't last long enough or you lose the stacks between pulls and because rng fucked me hard and i never got my hands on blizzard, or make frostbolt AoE but now it has 30 sec cooldown, which i like the idea. And then there's the frost nova rune that freezes enemies, which is very nice utility atleast.

Naturaly the server is still new and they will expand the options you have as time passes, i just hope it doesn't take too long.

sounds good

Grimfall just got “released” and was previously in beta. Compared to a 10 year old server it will indeed feel bare bones. Leveling is quick and RDF pops for dps in minutes. So from that standpoint Im good to experience the content until something else comes along. Runes may be limited but there are still lots of options to play around with and make fun builds.

Personally this is a fun server for melee characters bc you get rage, DK runes, energy and mana for all characters. Mixing spammable melee abilities has been fun as theres always something to press. Its not CoA but its unique and works for me.

u/Bistoory 1d ago

Nowhere. Nothing will replace ascension, especially Coa.

u/Snoo-43610 1d ago

feels like it atm

u/Tempest6644 21h ago

well there is a offline build being made atm and the source code is being opened up as well.

Chromie

u/sveyno 1d ago

my back up is always swtor

u/babangelsin 1d ago

Wait, do people still play that? What is the general pop?

u/sveyno 1d ago

you can pull OPS from chat, unsure of pop but they are adding a difficulty settings to the world (like flashpoints vet/master) which im looking forward to instead of one shotting the rooms

u/Fun-Heron2870 21h ago

dont bother, its a ghosttown with very few exceptions.

u/sveyno 8h ago

aaaah your one of them babies.... dropped on your head a few times right?

u/hyperautistic-chad 1d ago

Love swtor but only made it to lvl 30 or so because every regular enemy is a fucking bullet sponge that takes 3 rotations to kill, does it get better?

u/sveyno 1d ago

It depends on your class they are all very different some are really squishy and mainly used for support, maybe your companion wasnt set to damage? i usually set to tank/healer depends on the fight.
i done the Sith Inquisitor basically a lightning wizard and it was great the story was fantastic, only one i maxed to 80 but i enjoy it there is sooo much free content and its Star Wars

u/AutonomeDroid 1d ago

And its the last good game made from og bioware </3

u/Wordshurtimapussy 2h ago

Loved swtor, but it just feels too easy. And most killable NPCs just don't really do anything. No one has pathing, they all just stand there waiting for you to come and kill them. The gameplay loop was also a little... repetitive, I guess is the word. It was literally just - start a story mission/dialogue - move through boring enemies that don't do anything or die in a second - finish the mission - go back for a dialogue. Over and over and over.

I think if the combat was more difficult and engaging and didn't just feel like it was an obstacle to me getting to finish my class storyline I'd have more fun. But it is not enjoyable when I am just bowling over enemies with little worry about my well being.

It's a shame, because I legitimately think the jedi consular story is really damn good, and I know I'm like the only person in the world that thinks that haha. Also, obviously the Imperial Agents story is probably among the best.

u/sveyno 2h ago

"but it just feels too easy" they are adding harder combat in the next major update

u/sveyno 2h ago

literally adding vet and master to the world not just FPs

u/Wordshurtimapussy 1h ago

Cool Cool, when is that going live? I might jump back in and give it a shot

Grimfall feels like first year of ascension, no content no custom systems, prestige 1000 times

u/Relative-Run-1279 1d ago

Just I left wow. At the end of coa

u/Fun-Heron2870 21h ago

there is really nowhere. Ascension from a technical standpoint was the best emu server out there and since it was a custom server and not just one of the endless legion of blizzlike clones, there really is nothing that is anywhere close to it available now. I mean, not even Blizzard was able to come close when they tried copying it.

Fuck themselves

Classic+ when it comes out. Minas well not let Ascension's sacrifice be for nothing.

I've also heard they had a deal with Blizzard, so some of their stuff may make it into classic+.

u/Snoo-43610 7h ago

thanks for the advice (lmao)

Anywhere but classic plus

u/alienshirt 1d ago

I started on Project Alterac over the weekend after the end of CoA. I have enjoyed it so far. It is a phased WotLK server. The level cap was raised to level 50 on Saturday. There is double-xp bonus to help catch up to current phase that can be toggled on / off at any innkeeper.

u/EEU884 1d ago

come to crusader-storm

u/Vooopz 1d ago

A lot from Ascension are on Grimfal if the Discord is anything to go by.

u/stefanw1337 1d ago

To other games, for now. Not other servers.

Because there is no other servers like Ascension (yes grimfall is sorta wildcard-like shit, the only exception maybe).

u/KageKoch 1d ago

Grimfall for classless, otherwise Ebonhold and Astral for the more custom stuff. But I miss CoA

u/skovie 16h ago

I tried Grimfall and immediately felt depressed because Ascension was too good. And yeah il never give Blizzard another $ so that's no option either. And OctoWoW doesn't have dungeon finder.... sooo I'm basically playing other games and NOT WoW anymore.... hopefully Ascension MMO is decent, so yeah Il be taking years away from WoW at this point

u/Capable-Bullfrog-673 6h ago

Damn we got dungeon finder on ravencraft. I personally don't care about the pserver drama I just chose this one for the fresh start

u/Schneiders94 1d ago

Triumvirate-WoW is quite fun.
Locked to 60, but raids from classic/tbc/wotlk are doable. "Random" order of raid release, currently doing ICC.

u/aloloaalo 1d ago

I just grind warmane dungeons like a mad man.

u/Lukiecz 1d ago

whitemane is opening new wotlk server frostmourne 19. 9.

u/Academic_Breath_7161 1d ago

Grimfall, Triumvirate, Project Astral, Hour of Twilight or someone's working on an azerothcore solo CoA server
