Summary

0007264: Replace CP with a progress bar or tokens

Description

I was at 720 CP and found myself thinking something along these lines:

"How many more missions can I do before the tier increases? Ok, each tier is 200 CP, so we divide 720 by 200, get the remainder, which is 120. That's my current tier progress. How many CP per mission? Is it 20 or 40? I think it's 40, so to get to next tier I need to do two more missions."

While this line of thinking only takes a second, there's a better way to present the information to avoid this altogether.

One way is to use a progress bar:

Tier: 3
Tier Progress: [**...]
(That's a progress bar with 2/5 of the way filled. It can also display 2/5 over the progress bar.)

An alternative way is to have each mission give a token or a star that would get filled in the UI:

Tier: 4
Tier Progress: @@@00
(It's a discrete progress bar)

So maybe a battleground is 100 because that is a huge open warfare event, whereas a stealth assassination is only 5. But wait a minute, this is starting to sound like AI Progress...

(0022816) tigersfan (administrator) Apr 27, 2012 7:57 am	I agree that some kind of visual progress would be a good thing.

(0022817) Bluddy (reporter) Apr 27, 2012 8:00 am	Yep agreed. A visual bar of any kind that fills up would be good. And it IS supposed to be basically the AI progress mechanism.
