Life Bar + Autofail Suggestions

Re: Life Bar + Autofail Suggestions

there was a thread back in the past about a "PA assist" feature


once you hit perfect the PA meter turns to 100% Green and stays there so you can easily notice it at all times

once you hit anything else but a perfect it turns red with 99..or anything below 100%

if you play mario hit the first arrow perfect turns 100% green - hit the second arrow good turns to a red 50% -- hit the third arrow perfect it goes 75%


formula is % of perfect arrows from all arrow hits while on a run

it will basically be good while your trying to AAA so you will see when you mess up

Ahhh I think I see where you're going with this.

There would need to be something set up so that if you set your autofail count to a higher number than a certain value (I'm thinking 25, before the segments will be too small to tell them apart from each other), the bar will switch from segments to something like the actual life bar that's already in the game.

I think that would work well. Now I want an autofail bar and a counter.

something about how they think a counter would be better

this would honestly be amazing...and a great way to replace that utterly useless score at the bottom.

Looks good, but seems a bit skeptical.

It seems easy. If they can do it in mp they can do this. The current pretotal score is essentially worthless information to the player if the scoring is based so much on combo.

this would honestly be amazing...and a great way to replace that utterly useless huge combo display located right at the middle of the screen blocking the beautiful arrows,.

I'd rather also have the option to hide my combo and accuracy popups too.

Jesus christ, that would be amazing to keep score off of. I don't care how out of place it looks, the total score is much too difficult to keep track of your PA, because even though there is an easy way to calculate your PA off of total score, it is much too hard to do the math in-game.

Re: Life Bar + Autofail Suggestions

Ground_Breaker's idea proved to be the best so far. I support.

Re: Life Bar + Autofail Suggestions

very nice things

Thanks.

I actually like this counter idea better than the life bar I had originally thought of, when I compare the two. Now I know some people have been voicing concerns that are basically like, "This would be too distracting." I think maybe at first it would be distracting, but I'm pretty sure most people will get used to it rather quickly. The benefits, I think, outweigh the drawbacks.

great idea +1

I am a victim of trying to do quick math in my head...and saying "wait, how many more goods can I get? Gah, I can't remember!"

Re: Life Bar + Autofail Suggestions

Agreed. And as far as the newer scoring system, well, it's gonna be as much distracting as it would be with our normal scoring system now. What is there to lose?

BUT, since newer players might freak out seeing this new system, we should make it a selectable function in the options menu.

Maybe something like PA scoring for GB's system, and numerical scoring for our current system, or something along those lines.
