GRADING CAP. A player can only have three quests graded per week, with a week being defined as seven days from when your third quest was graded. Since a player can be in five quests at a time, grading three of the five quests per week ensures that the majority of the player's quests will be graded.
Righto, so I have a question about this. But I shall open with "You guys work really hard and I can't help but appreciate that." It's true. And now, onwards: I understand the meaning. 3 quests should be graded per week so the quest mods aren't overburdened, makes sense. I asked a bit and I'm still somewhat confused, so here goes.
Is it that it's 3 quests submitted per week? So you can submit 3 quests in a week period, and once that 3rd quest's submission passes a week, you can submit 3 more quests? Here's where I'm kind of getting confused (example incoming):
The way I see it is like so: Say I finish a few quests over a week period. I submit quest 1 on the 1st and quest 3 on the 7th. That's 3 weeks over a 1 week period. So if only 3 quests can be graded per week, based on when the 3rd quest was graded, even assuming it's graded day-of, the next week is no good. Then, on the 14th (7 days after the 3rd quest is graded), you're allowed to submit quests 4-6 again. Isn't that burning a week in between and making it so you may submit (or get graded) 3 quests/2 weeks instead of 3/week?
I recognize that: In best case, I submit quests 1-3 all on day 1 and can submit quests 4-6 on day 8. That would be 1 week proper, but that assumes that we have a backlog of 3 quests per week... Which may not be true for a number of people.
Maybe I'm misinterpreting it? Any clarification here would be awesome. If that's how it's intended, then that's also totally fine, I just want to know. ^^;; I don't mean to put any pressure or anything~
If it is as I interpreted (and both extremes were not considered), may I please make a suggestion? Perhaps make it so that you can hit 3 quests, and then for the 4th quest, it must be 1 week after the 1st quest is graded? So at maximum, you could only ever have 3 quests sitting about and if all your quests are graded at once, you still have to wait a week.
Going back to my examples (and still working under same day grading, because not calculating delays is easier):
Type 1: Quest 1 on Day 1, Quest 3 on Day 7. Then on Day 8, someone could submit the 4th quest and on Day 14, that 6th quest would be submitted. That's still 3 quests/week.
Type 2: Quests 1-3 on Day 1. Quests 4-6 must still be submitted on Day 8, which is no different from before.
It feels a little less like penalizing people for finishing 3 quests over the course of a week instead of having it all done on the first day of each 'week'.
Anyway, take this whatever way you'd like, I was mostly looking for some clarification and didn't want to post something that was only negative and had zero suggestions or input.
Good work thus far!
