show the "ffr level/exp bar" on ppl's forum posts
arguments for:
1) would be good 2) easy way to suss [power levels] 3) we already do this with the d7 badge thing. but now we have the technology to do this fo reals 4) i dig it, you guys 5) new ppl who join will be like woahhhh look at all these cool guys lol 6) division-separated forums might be cool~? i dunno, gives ppl something extra to strive for 7) extra aspect of competition when u see a friend whom post who is a slightly higher level, versus only seeing it when u look at ppl's profiles. makes the climb upwards a little less "lonely"-feeling 8) extra information is good and i think it feels more community-oriented than having forum post counts or w/e 9) we already basically do this with badges i think, so there seems to be demand arguments against, with possible counterarguments 1) could foster elitism, but i think the community seems robust and mutually respectful enough to avoid this. most ppl who post a lot are d5 and d6 too 2) could give the sense that a lot of the site isnt rly for newbies, since a lot of ppl who post are d5 and d6. BUT this is already implicitly established with the adding of lots of pretty hard maps, so ppl who join already know their position in comparison to others. this would simply make it less obfuscated and easier to find a niche 3) the badges ARE cool and maybe ppl dont want it standardised. but... you could put them in ur sig anyway, right!! maybe u could also opt to customise ur lil level/exp bar given enough credittos aLright!!! what are we thinkin y'all |

Re: show the "ffr level/exp bar" on ppl's forum posts
i think levels under the username would be a good idea next to where the badges are. or possibly even under the profile picture. i think exp % would be a bit overkill. don't think it's necessary to get that specific lol.

I would actually really love it if the exp bars looked exactly like that

Re: show the "ffr level/exp bar" on ppl's forum posts
oh, this is true; i also thought of an idea of the exp bar denoting difference between different divisions (so, a D2 bar with not much progress could be low D2, versus lots of progress being high D2; replace "next level" number at end with next division, so "D3" in this case)

Re: show the "ffr level/exp bar" on ppl's forum posts
so it would look more like this then, in that case (with what resembles slightly more the official site division colours~)

Re: show the "ffr level/exp bar" on ppl's forum posts
something like this would be pretty badass actually. it might be a bit hard for the bar to reflect exactly where you are in the division, but i'm sure once the code is worked out, it won't be much of a hassle.

Re: show the "ffr level/exp bar" on ppl's forum posts
But what about the poor people who don't even play the game?

Re: show the "ffr level/exp bar" on ppl's forum posts
think of the potential status signaling opportunities! you now have a niche open for the ppl who are ~too cool to play~ with 9000 posts who are at like level 1
oh yes; as far as i know (perhaps the tournament positions diverge somewhat; BUT the) leaderboard divisions are based on strict point boundaries (d6/d7 line being arooound level 87, near the upper bound of the fated "st. scarhand heavy" unlock) Last edited by s1rnight; 06-27-2016 at 06:39 PM.. |

It would be pretty cool if they would have the level / xp bar under your name!

Re: show the "ffr level/exp bar" on ppl's forum posts
Is anyone gonna ask if this even possible or should I do it?
Is this even possible?

(i was also thinking of suggesting the "ffr rank", also under your name, but that seems somewhat overkill; most ffr users don't use the forums, so the gaps in rank might feel jarring and arbitrary) |

Re: show the "ffr level/exp bar" on ppl's forum posts
(ŻuŻ;;) all coding projects are technically possible i think. the devs *should* have the knowledge to integrate it with the forums as well, seeing as ffr and forum accounts are linked already

I'm already working on integrating skill rating into the game engine, so I wouldn't be opposed to showing off this metric on more parts of the site.
