Ascension

Project Ascension is a classless world of warcraft server that is free to play and the most balanced server in the private server community and not pay to win at all. Stino has a long standing relationship with the lead developer, Dutch, and does not allow any slander of the server or the lead developer in chat or discord.

## Season 4

Season 4 of Project Ascension took place in 2019 and was the first Ascension arc Stino took part in. With intense and active stream participation the guild swelled with incompetent, low dps players to fill the ZG raids. Stino was carried through ZG by Maxotaur, Khuros, Daniel, and Method Josh. Unfortunately, Stino was unable to clear ZG and opted to end the arc and join the Classic WoW Beta test.

## Season 6

After years of Classic WoW, Stino made his triumphant return to Ascension in Season 6: TBC. The arc took place in December 2020-January 2021. After deleting multiple characters at level 30 due to not receiving windfury, Stino gave up his melee dream and began his low dps caster journeys.

## Season 7

In October 2021 and the abysmal failure that was Classic WoW TBC, Stino made his return to Ascension season 7. Back again in classic and 2 month of ZG and MC, the guild fractured the day of BWL release. This arc gave the community the beloved "Charge, trap, disengage" meme. Referencing his high difficulty explosive shot build, pressing explosive shot was deemed to be the the most difficult build Stino was capable of handling.

## League 3

A league is a condensed mini-season used by Dutch to sell more supporter chests when there's a lull in the main season. Stino once again fell victim to this scheme and pushed forward through ZG yet again. Thanks to the weekly content releases, Stino finally was able to enter BWL on ascension with his 4,000 dps Thunder Slam build.

## Season 8

Part 1 of Ascension season 8 took place October 28th, 2022. The buildup and hype on the discord was high as this was the first arc Stino streamed since his summerless Stino phase ended. With quality participation and tanking from Pyro and Zephea the arc was off to a solid start. Unfortunately, 2 months of ZG and MC once again fractured the guild and the group was unable to reach BWL yet again. The ending of part 1 of season 8 took place as the guild failed to kill normal Onyxia.

After a 5 month break from Ascension, Stino decided to return to Ascension in order to avoid leveling a hardcore shaman for the 16th time. March of 2023, Stino returned to Ascension with surprising success. Likely due to Rswag's abilities, the guild swelled in size and recruited players to fill the void left behind by the low skill level of players like Grim and Stino. The guild was able to clear up to Mythic Kel'thuzad in naxxaramas until Stino decided he did not wish to see one of his guildies receive the legendary staff. Stino's hatred for Daniel clearly knows no bounds.

## League 4

On May 26th 2023, Ascension launched it's Biggest League Yet with the release of league 4. Stino pressed forward with his dream of doing leveling challenges exclusively, finally scratching his itch of hardcore while not supporting the trannies at Blizzard.

With impressive guild support, Stino was able to complete the Hardcore Road to Ragnaros challenge and obtain the Corehound mount instead of spending 25dp for the mount on the store.
