Title: HP/SP Mini Bars
Post by: hydrakiller4000 on March 06, 2010, 08:42:45 pm
We haven't announced this yet, but we've made a mini SP bar for the next update. Similar to the HP bar, it will appear under your character and display the amount of SP you have. This way, you can easily estimate how much longer you can run without always having the "Character" menu up. We were thinking of making these bars disappear whenever one of your stats is full. For example, if I have 25/25 HP and 20/25 SP, my HP bar will be gone, but my SP bar will not be. If I have 25/25 HP and 25/25 SP, both bars will be gone. If I have 20/25 HP and 25/25 SP, my HP bar will be there, but my SP bar will not.

Please vote on what you feel is the best option.

Here's a screenshot of what the bars look like:

I agree on the SP thingy, since people would argue less on their visibility of the Stamina Loss.

Yes, and the mini SP bar would also allow us to remove the annoying message that comes up whenever you run out of Run Energy.

Finally!  I get so sick of my chatbox filling up with "You can't run anymore!"   However, I say that both bars should always stay there, regardless of how much of the stat you have.  It'd be distracting for the bars to disappear and reappear repeatedly (if you're close to max SP, for example).

Personally, I'm for both bars fading if the statistic is full. Creates some consistency with the NPCs.

It has been decided! The HP/SP bars will disappear whenever the respective stat is full. This will be included in the next update. Again, we thank everyone for their participation in this poll, and we hope you will enjoy the new features! Also, jdaster64, it's not as distracting as you think for the bars to disappear. It isn't too noticeable; therefore, it won't really serve as much of a distraction.

Alright; come to think of it, I never really look at that mini-bar for HP reference anyway, and I never see it coming or going.  Still glad to have the SP bar anyway.
