Why all the hate for ascension?

By stickman_kenobi, in Dark Heresy Gamemasters

I've got the book, and I'm looking forward to my players being able to level up and use this so I have a few questions:

1. Why does no one seem to like it?

2. What is considered over powered, and why? (And don't just say everything)

3. What things could be used to fight a party of this caliber?

4. How would I make it work?

Thanks in advance.

This has been discussed extensively. Recently in the almost identically named thread " Why all the Ascension Hate?" here:

And " What's broken with Ascension and how to fix it" here:

…and many other threads.

Enjoy.
