Capped areas with the warcamp shroud would be banana's

I’d imagine killing 12~20 post-cap critters which triggers a mini-boss to appear which is impossibly difficult outside of a group. The chest it leaves behind will have an “ATP orb” for each player who participated in the 12~20 grind and helped kill the mini-boss.

Also neat idea

This part is the most intriguing. Significantly more difficult? How? As in nearly impossible to solo unless you have at least one set of max’d Legendary abilities? Group oriented? Obviously, if they are going to pump up our characters they will probably give us a challenge to use these new power.

Personally, I would like to see group oriented content for post cap hunting. Like super small groups of 3~5 players. I really don’t want to see just another grind place, practically we have entirety of the current game for that.

The south half of the scatter is designed for groups, but possible to do solo. Mostly it's the high level of liches (115) plus the phylactaries. That's how they encourage group hunting there. I don't think it's been that effective in that regard, mostly because people who want to group hunt often are more interested in socializing than they are in challenging hunting. Also not many people are fans of "put me in RT" as the selected method for making an area a group hunting area.

this isn't mandatory correct? I mean if you are capped and don't like the idea of working a skill or stat past its current cap, you can just not do ascension and keep earning regular exp and keep filling out other stuff.

I think you're allowed to set the % that is taken from XP to ascension.

Correct. At least so far!

Ah, I misunderstood the enhancement. Sounds like it's cool actually. Please ignore my previous statements.

also any of the "milestone" atps they mentioned, you will retroactively get *assuming* it's something they were already tracking or can infer from your current character status.

For instance: if you got a "milestone" atp for every 20 levels until cap, every capped character would receive those when the system launches. Since, obviously, if you are cap you leveled to 20/40/60/80 along the way.

If they added a milestone atp for like "teabagging an infernal lich while wearing a fedora", even if you've done that every day, you wouldn't get that milestone because they previously weren't tracking for that interaction.

One of the examples they gave for milestone ATPs was something like, becoming a guildmaster (not confirmed, just one mentioned as a possible example). Estild said that they are making sure to balance potential milestone ATPs between classes, so classes with existing guilds for instance wouldn't have extra "free" (lol guilds) atps not available to the others.

so where is the screwing over coming from. is it just the super post capped who want what they have already earned , and to be grandfathered in to have all the post cap asension?.... if this is the case let those who are super post cap unlearn skills, and convert the regained exp into asension points to be allocated. give them the choice. but not both.
