Mutator Idea: Onscreen perk progress bar

[pixel]

The idea is pretty simple:
Let player see info about his current perk progress in realtime.

That's a damn good idea. Looks good too. You have my vote Oh, and it's 'Bullpup' by the way

I like "Bullpap" more.

Good idea.

Hate it and would want an option to not display. Just fills up more screen real estate for something that ultimately still moves very very slowly. It would be like watching paint dry as it crawls to the next rank.

I think it's a great idea, but you can also check the damage/kills it's left if you press ESC and press the perk you are using.

But anyway, it would be a good idea.

As this is not a game that focuses heavily on leveling up a lot it would just clutter the hud more. And the crawl of the xp bar is bad enough when you check it every five minutes much less watch it constantly.

If, god forbid, it was implemented then I would prefer that it be a very small bar attached to a box that's already part of the hud. Or optional.

Cool idea.

i hope someone try to run this.

I revisited my opinion from 2009 and think it was stupid and unnecessary, especially taking into account it takes 5 earth years to hit Commando level cap.

It's inside the ServerPerks mutator. Try it out as I find it's pretty handy.

That's the answer.

A feature like this would HAVE to be dynamic. Namely, it should pop up ONLY when periodic milestones between levels are achieved (i.e. 25% intervals)

If it was up there the whole time, it would get really stale really fast. But if you pull it off using the "less is more" approach, anyone will actually be happy to see a prompt highlighting their progress.

Games like Gears of War 3 I feel pulled off player progression well.

This would be an option. GoW3 did make it work well as it only popped up once it hit a specific condition. Personally, either works well.
