Building a triple-A game that aims to harness the immense potential blockchain and cryptocurrency provides takes time.

TOKEN FAQs
What's the difference between $GG and $AGC?
Glow Gems ($GG) are the utility tokens used as the in-game currency for Ascenders. $GG fuels primary economic actions such as building construction, item minting, crafting upgrades, buying items from marketplaces. $GG has an uncapped supply and will match the overall growth of the economy. Ascenders Governance Council ($AGC) is the governance token used by players to participate in votes on important game direction decisions. $AGC can be staked for rewards. The maximum supply is capped at 1 billion.
When will be the $AGC token, Avatar NFT, and Land Parcel sales?
The public sale of $AGC is scheduled to launch in Q2 2022. Both Avatar NFT and Land Parcel sales will be conducted after the IDO. Specific dates of the IDO will be posted in a later announcements.

Is there a whitelist for the NFTs and token sales?
There is no whitelist Discord grinding.
We will be giving out whitelists to our early supporters in the form of active giveaways and contests. We will also consider granting whitelists to community members that have been active and helpful in the Ascenders Discord. Everything will be based on quality over quantity criteria.
GAME FAQs
How does the weapon system work?
Players would be able to collect materials and components for weapon crafting through battles, dungeon clearing, and developing land. These components can be combined and minted as an NFT and transacted on the open market. No full items will be dropped directly which allows players to have the freedom to craft whatever item they want with the components they have.
How does the player lanes system work?
The Ascenders economy is designed around economic lanes, each designed around a different player type. We currently have 3 player lanes with their own gameplay loop, resources and rewards, unique challenges, and strategies to master. When players from different lanes intersect, trade and collaboration opportunities emerge, increasing economic activity.
How does the land system work?
In Ascenders, every player can become a landowner and produce resources, build infrastructure, and offer services to other players in the community. We have introduced features such as Battle for Land and Hidden Land Traits to tackle land speculation and incentivize land development. To read more about our land economy design, follow our medium page for more details! https://medium.com/@playascenders
Which blockchain will Ascenders be built on and which wallet should I use?
Ascenders will be built on Avalanche and the wallet we suggest using at first is Metamask. A more detailed tutorial on how to use a web wallet will be posted on our medium page.
Wen Moon?
With the effort and expertise dedicated to the project, our team believes that we will be able to bring Ascenders to the forefront of blockchain gaming. So the answer to that is, "Soon ser, soon"
Questions from the community that have been answered by the team

Choose your path in the world of Ascension!
What is the meaning of the discord roles?
What kind of weapons will be available? We saw Longsword for now
we will slowly reveal our weapon over time as we develop the game.
Remember, players will be crafting all the weapons in our game. We will have upgrade paths for each weapon. Swords will be effective against certain monsters and long ranged weapons would be effective against others.
Players will have to make economic choices on what to craft and build with the amount of resources you have obtained through fighting, exploring and building player lanes....or you can fork out cash and acquire those resources from other players.
Will fighters, builders and explorers be bought as NFT's?
Each lane's resources is unique to its lane. Fighter will get exclusive resources in dungeons. Explorers will find exclusive resources in the overworld. Builders will find exclusive resources on land.
To build an item, you need all three types of resources to craft a NFT. Players will work and trade resources with each other. That's how you create a high velocity economy.
You will need to find a blacksmith to craft your item. Blacksmiths are built on land by the players. If you don't own land, you can still rent one from another player.
What games is the team drawing inspiration from?
haha we are inspired by many games. too many to name but here are some of our team's inspirations
Assassin's odyssey, Days gone, Ghost of tsushima. Fenyx rising & Zelda (obviously) We are only taking inspiration from them and not implementing all of them in our game, since it may or not be relevant to our own game.
Will the game be fully on-chain? For example; All characters, armor, weapons are also NFT's?
we will put everything on-chain as much as possible. Yes, we are planning characters, swords, items are NFTs.
The tokens will need to be pointed to an address to store the data of the images / 3d objects. We will try to use IPFS as much as possible.
There are the stats of the weapons and items - axie stores them all on their servers since they need to balance it from time to time.
The more we store on-chain, the more gas intensive it is as well. There are a lot of details. Somethings are cost prohibitive to put on chain and doesn't add value to the user's experience. we need to strike a balance somewhere.
Quick question, will the use of avax subnet for the game reduce gas feess?
Yup! That's the beauty of subnets. Computing transactions off the main C-chain will leave the player happy and not feel compromised in the case of big gas spikes. No one wants to play a game where gas shoots up to $100+ bc of a bitcoin/market dump lol
Since the game will be on Avax, did you guys think of creating a Subnet, since it would help with gas fees for example?
We will be launching our own subnet! Yes, no gamer should be priced out of playing a game if gas prices become an issue for any reason e.g. market dump, block space getting too full, etc. If someone has to worry about paying outrageous fees to play and transact in-game then that's an inherently bad experience. We'll be announcing more subnet details in the future.
Please what does the Genesis role mean?
At the moment, Genesis role is just a fun cosmetic badge we've been using for the early members who have either received invites from the official Ascenders team or our partners. We do not have any plans for Genesis role to have whitelist exclusivity at the moment. Each role will have its own unique use in the future as the server grows which will be explained once the server is fully public and operational.
