    EXP Bar Percentage

    For the love of the gods (and goddesses), please put a percentage on the exp bars so I can tell people how close to leveling I am at a glance. If I had a nickel every time I had to say something like "I'm a little past the T in TP", I'd be a rich woman.

    it should be from a long time. Especially now since the EXP value is a lot of digits, I might also suggest to put the percentage in brackets beside the actual EXP gain.

    example: 12345/67890 (18.2%)

    I'd just like to see those numbers with the thousands separator to make them easier to read. I've never really cared about what percentage of the way through I am (beyond general things like barely started or about halfway or whatever that the bar itself shows). I just want to know how much more I need to reach the next level. I could tell that from the numbers we have now if only I could read them more easily.

    But sure, a percentage option would be good for anyone who cares about that part.

    A "Needed for Next Level" display would be nice as well so we wouldn't have to do the subtraction ourselves.

    That explanation probably wouldn't help whoever you're talking to anyway. The experience bar doesn't show TP. That's on the parameter bar. Some players might arrange their HUD so those are near each other, but even so, they won't line up the same way unless you have them at the same place and same size relative to each other.

    example: 12345/67890 (18.2%)
    How about:
    12,345 / 67,890 (18.2%) Next: 55,545
    or:
    12.345 / 67.890 (18,2%) Next: 55.545
    or:
    12 345 / 67 890 (18.2%) Next: 55 545
    depending on your regional setting for number display.


    (But as I said at first, I'd settle for just getting the thousands separator in there so they're readable. That's needed more than either of the other additions.)

    Why can't you tell at a glance how close you are as it is? It shows you the numerical value towards the next level. Far more accurate than a percentage.

    Percentage would be nice, but I'd settle for thousands separators on numbers that big. That'd go a long way toward making it easier to tell my exp at a glance.

    Different people, different perspectives. I enjoy percentage, myself, not that it's a big deal for something like this. Then again, it wouldn't be a big deal to implement, either.

    Innocence doesn't mean an absence of wickedness, nor is it represented by the absence of anger or hatred. Innocence is when seeing others hurt also hurts you. When one becomes blind to the people suffering in the world, that is what it means to have lost one's innocence.
