No, I quoted Yrs saying that cultivation will change, but will likely remain closer to what we have now. I don't know what that means, and you don't know what that means. With the format changing "closer" has a lot of meanings.
If we go to doing a month training regime, where we choose the 5 things we are training that month, then the method by which we advance would remain closer than what a narrative system would be. It would also mean that an action now is worth 1/4 of an action then. A fraction. There is no evidence that supports a reading that we will have to create monster plans where we list out all 20 things we will be training, with us simply extrapolating what we did with the 2-week plans. The format will change as quoted above, and to think that the format will remain the same simply extended, without any other evidence, is very strange.
Maybe you are right, and it will be based on the creation of a 20 itemized plan with a week to week spending. I see, however, no evidence that this is the case. I see evidence that soundly rebuts that, and the simple common sense that managing 20 different dice rolls for progress in a single update would be catastrophically difficult.
So if the very definition of an action might change, and I will say has strong evidence supporting said change, then how do you equate an action now to an action later without even an definition of that later action?
You didn't quote him saying cultivation will change, you quoted him saying the granularity of the quest will change but cultivation will stay mostly the same.
I was just quoting the exact sentence Yrs used in the discord.
First of all, using 2 GSS in a week costs 1000 RSS. I think by the time we have 1000 RSS to cultivate per week we will already be at Appraisal, our speed with that is going to be resource limited and not cultivation limited. Even me, champion of spending money at the local pill den thinks 1000 RSS regularly is a bit excessive for the immediate future.
Second, we have literally been overflowing to Qi since Week 44. All of your arguments and all of my arguments have applied since then, and yet every week we overflow to Qi. The thread has known since then that Spiritual is long term a better place for overflow than Qi (I mean duh) and yet nobody has taken issue with it in all that time. It was my impression that this was because we were pumping Qi since that'll be useful in time for the tourney, and because Qi wasn't a useless investment anyways and we would need it eventually.
At least, that was the reasoning I had for it all this time in my head, it would really be hilarious if you weren't arguing about it over all that time just because you didn't really pay attention to the overflow for two months. Even if that's the case, I don't think the thread as a whole would say the same, and I think it's fair to say a lot of people in the thread have had similar logic to my own, and that's why the Overflow has been set to Qi since Week 44 and nobody has groused about it.
The overflow to Qi was because we had low Qi until recently. We have been pushing Qi for the SLP weeks, and the last couple weeks had no real significant overflow so it didn't matter. Since SLP week we got something like 10 overflow. There was no talk about changing it because the overflow didn't actually do anything significant.
Using 2GSS week costs us 1000RSS, yes. We aren't going to be resource limited there, keep in mind that beside CRX giving us more GSS as she has told us she would (and we have a new GSS to get, last one was week 47) we are also getting 12 000RSS.
Getting to appraisal a week earlier
does mean getting +40 dice on all our cultivation actions afterwards if we use 2GSS then and no before (as that makes sense ressource wise unless we can gain a necessary action), it
does mean getting an action freed up for an appraisal art a week earlier, and it
does cascade faster for Physical to appraisal and all our other arts.
The premises isn't that time won't matter, the premises is what constitutes a block of time. Like, we can't simply stop cultivating FVM when we get FVM7 can we? That is what overflow is for.
So we have blocks of time now that serve as an action. Then we will have blocks of time later that will serve as an action. EPC takes so many blocks of time before it levels up to EPC6.
If the block of time that is later means that we will hit EPC within 2 "actions" that means we would need to get past 250 successes with the current action to even reduce it down to 1 action. Something... which I don't see the action with EPC currently doing.
Which means that the second action will overshoot and overflow. Will it go to qi? Will it go to the next level? I don't know, but it certainly won't save time on getting EPC6.
Or... it means that it takes one action rather than 2, and without that overflow this week it means spending 4 more weeks cultivating spiritual than if we didn't.
Not that this will happen, because we were told it wouldn't.
