no you're wrong pretty much explicitly
The main thing I'm wondering really, is why you're arguing this now, well after the vote to pick up ZB+ is over, and we're currently voting which successor art we want. This seems like more a case of closing the barn door AFTER the horses have been stolen.
no
They are generally about a mix of cultivation level and quality.
That's flatly not how art works.
....ummm, I'm pretty sure there were multiple actions put into it, it's just those were when we weren't nearly as strong/rich/stacked as now. Also, didn't we max the art out?
Isn't your argument that instead of ZB+, we should have gotten a different Wind art from the second floor based on the later starting point making it better? My point is we don't know enough to claim that it will have a larger effect on the quality than ZB+ being a successor. It would fit the genre that the foundation set by ZB would make for a stronger art.
Not sure, maybe train AC a little? Max out FSA?
that is a very false dichotomy
the point is being right, haven't you been on the internet long enough to learn that?
You're MISSING the POINT. I've argued several times that an early yellow would be preferable to ZB+'s late red because it's closer to what Ling Qi requires of her arts for them to be competitive in her action and meridian economies. ZB+ is a comparative waste of time.
it's one action now. if successor arts are so beloved because they have levels put behind them, as Arkeus argued, then Ling Qi could overflow several red arts from the first floor for giggles in one or two actions each. but ZB is the only important one because of name recognition/prior investment.
Also, because we know its successor exists. You're forgetting that we went for ZB+ specifically because we knew it existed, whereas going for a slightly better yellow art would be a grab bag of what we got(and don't deny it would only be a moderate improvement if we got something that was similar to the options we got now, you've said so yourself)
no at this point I'm not mad at ZB+, I'm mad at people making decisions badly and making no sense.
Because it chaining of ZB is something that is likely to happen, since that was one of ZB's selling pints that it had higher level arts that chained off it. Don't deny that might have an effect on it's effectiveness, and even then random yellow art would still be only a modest improvement powerwise.
the job description for being a voice in a tireless munchkin's head does not include passing up on improvements
and whether or not ZB+ is a successor art and whether or not successor arts need testing are not factors that justify Elder lessons on how to read Run Spot Run when Ling Qi is totally capable of reading Spot in Space
Still haven't explained how it's a bad and nonsensical decision to want to try out a successor art when the genre supports the idea of it being equal or better to a non successor art of a similar level.
So your MAIN objection is that we're doing it while getting tutoring from Elder Jaio. Why didn't you say so?
Well, the chances of maxing out FSA are slim to none. We didn't train it this week so we have at least one more session before getting it to FSA4, and after that we need a meridian and another stage.
I would favor training FSA, given someone's objection that we haven't really trained it much lately and it being our primary damage art.
Question: Do you want to find a wind site BEFORE training whatever art we pick up with this vote, or pick up the first couple levels, do a quest/take time to hunt for one, then seriously train the art?
Well... we are already training the art this week. I would prefer not to train a wind art next week so that we can find a good solid site during the mission (fingers crossed) but a wind site isn't going to really change all that much in the short run. Depending on how many successes this wind art needs, it might be better to put it off for a week to make one last effort at finding a wind site and then train it up.
