Hey don't you think the new red welding meter icon thing is not as cool as the original yellow loading bar? the yellow loading bar was more killingfloor-like and was easier for my brain pick up on. I asked everybody else what they thought in-game and they think the yellow loading bar was a lot cooler.

The new one is easier to notice but it would be nice if its color changed according to the percentage of welding on the door.

I do think the new welding meter is better. It allows me to see the condition of the door a lot quicker than the old version. Of course, having the box outline and text change colour to reflect the door condition would be nice, but that can wait until next patch.

I would love it to be red till about 25%, then yellow till about 75%, and green there after.

Sounds perfect. The meter isn't all that important anyway imo. Why work on meters when we could be skinning more characters, making more guns, or tweaking/adding perks?

the new one seems to pick up better for me, as in i had a hard time standing in a position to see the old one. other then that a colour reference for the new one would be nice. their is a benefit in having a quick recognition display instead of one you have to read and think about...

I like the new meter. I liked the old meter.

The main thing I'd like to see is for it to go more smoothly, so I know exactly when it's done.

I was quite pleased when I saw the new meter... mostly because it seems to appear sooner and jumps out at you - it's bigger and easier to read. I understand why a nice, bright progress bar was good too, though.

old one was better.

actually it would be better (and more realistic) with no weld meter at all.


With the old meter you had to take out welder to seen weld percent, but with new one you can see it always.

Uh... What is there to think about a number like "45%" or even "87%"? I know the condition with the accuracy of 1/100 just by looking at it. It isn't really that hard to read... :rolleyes:

Why is there welding meter ?

Why is there welding meter ?

Why is there welding meter if we can see the percentage on welder?

It wasn't in kfmod and shouldn't be in game either.

yep just change the color......however the new one is way better since you can spot it from further away. no more having to run all the way up to the door to find out it is already welded!

An option to change the welding meter from a list of several designs in the option menu so everyone can be happy.(even though we all know that isn't possible)
