In regards to SIS, how would you feel if I changed how the bank merit points work?
Added 2019-09-20 07:14:48 +0000 UTCI feel like this is a pretty significant change, so I don't want to just do it without first having a discussion and hearing your thoughts about it.
I'm sure a lot of you have felt it, but SIS is pretty slow right now, and this is pretty much exclusively due to the merit points. There are a few other reasons, but those can be worked around.
I personally think that to improve the story and make it more engaging and exciting, I'd need to make merit points harder to get.
My idea for this is to keep them as quest rewards, but force the bank's interest rate to only apply at the end of a cycle. How it currently works day-by-day can just be a trial period which I'll make clear in edits and the eventual publication rewrite.
Honestly, keeping it as is will force the story to be slow unless y'all don't mind me basically ignoring the merit points, glossing over them, and only using them when the plot demands it. The math alone from a time-skip would give me an aneurysm.
Do you all really want me to write about each day of the current 6-month-long cycle? I sure as fuck don't want to. I think some small time-skips could greatly refresh the story and allow things to really progress while slowing the power creep of all characters.
I really hope most of you agree, 'cause I feel like I'm going to make this change for my own sake as much as for yours regardless of the outcome. I'm confident it will make the story better.
P.S: Chapters coming really soon if you were worried about those.
