Changes regarding token display in Profiles

[sammo123]

but w/e u do deffinatley have an thing that says u have XX of XX tokens and when u clikc it it says which ones ur missing

[GamerShadow]

Sammo's idea is great, and I would love to see the holes and the ordered tokens implemented. Whether 3 is implemented or not doesn't matter to me... yet.

Well, a few people have already voiced my opinions on this. I like all of the ideas presented, but would there be a way so that you could customize it? Like, keeping it the way it is or doing it the new way. For instance, have an option so that you could choose which of those options you would want. Because, in my case, I would change 1 and 2 in my profile, and leave 3 the way it is. I can see a lot of people wanting 1/3 or 2/3 of these, but not all at once. If you would make all of these optional, while being slightly more work I would think, it would probably make a lot more people happy.

I concur. In fact, pretty much everybody in this thread disapproves of one of the options.

What about being able to toggle the scroll box? Like turning it on/off in profile options.

[jugglinguy]

2 sounds by far the best.

[Adamaja456]

i want the tokens to be on order, so thats a good idea

And im leaning toward wanting to have holes so i know what tokens i need to acquire. Sroll box, but 5 lines-100% yes

I like it the way it is now, but it would be nice to have them in order.

Though the idea of some of these other ideas as customizable options sounds really good too.

What are everyone's thoughts on these possible updates?

Okay, I'm going to guess a lot of people might disagree with what I'd like, and that's perfectly okay because we all should voice our opinions (nicely)...

Personally, I would have a "skill level" identifier related to each skill token, sort of like a difficulty level for obtaining a particular skill token. Nothing too complicated, just a rough 1-5 difficulty level set for each one. Then as for the order, I would make the tokens appear in order by difficulty, that way FFR users can easily recognize the more difficult tokens at the end of the shown tokens. Also, on the official skill token list, I'd rearrange them according to the difficulty level, that way FFR users can see which tokens should be the easier ones to obtain (instead of reading through each token and contemplating/comparing their ability to only the description).

I do agree with the scrollable block. Maybe like 20 tokens, 10 on each of the two rows, and scroll down.... or 10 tokens, 5 on each of the two rows... or maybe even 15 tokens 5 on each of three rows.. or whatever combintation looks best to the eye

^ I so much agree with the difficulty scale. I see the big list and I don't know which should I do first in difficulty.

Also, I'm all for the scrollable thing, preferably starting after 3 rows.

Edit: And as for number 1, I think this isn't a good idea. I'd rather have it show the order I actually got the token in. Otherwise, it'd look too uniform imo. But either way, I wouldn't care much.

Edit 2:


This is actually a better idea for 3. =)

Well if you like holes, you kinda have to like the order or then all the holes would just be at the end and it would look dumb. So number 2 is pretty much conditional on number 1.

awsome idea

[Darkmage136]

<halfjoke>I propose the token system to be redone in flash!</halfjoke>

Anyway, customizing would be good, I agree. But, wow, looks like there's going to be coding nightmares. Instead of blank holes, I'd rather have the song names still there, just without a token pic or something. If all the customization is too daunting, maybe for now just implement a scrolldown menu (placed right below the word tokens and also skill tokens) with the options: Sort by order and Sort by difficulty. Or maybe show them side by side, divided by a vertical line (although that would make the profile rather cluttered).

Examples of possible layouts:

Ex. 1:

Tokens
(Scrolldown Menu)
- Sort by order
- Sort by difficulty

Columns:
Token # 1 Difficulty Song Name 1 Token Pic 1
Token # 2 Difficulty Song Name 2 Token Pic 2

Ex 2:

Tokens

Token # 1 Song Name 1 | Difficulty Song Name 1
Token # 2 Song Name 2 | Difficulty Song Name 2

I wouldn't know where to put the token pic in this example, though.

Ex 3:

Tokens
(Scrolldown menu) (Scrolldown menu)
- Sort by order - Show all tokens
- Sort by difficulty - Show tokens obtained

Collapsible menus
(+)Song Name 1
(+)Song Name 2

Example 3 might work, but I see the problem with having to manually click the + icons if you want to see all the tokens' info.

Ex. 4:

Tokens
(Scrolldown menu)
- Sort by order
- Sort by difficulty

1-20 21-40 41-60 etc

Token # Difficulty Song Name 1 Token Pic

Or... you can go ahead and little by little implement a customizable token profile page and disable the features that haven't been coded in yet (just like the ffr modifiers in-game).

Sorry about pulling a little from others' suggestions. I know the examples I've given are just a few of the infinite possibilities, but hey, it's just my 2 cents.

I think first and foremost, the tokens should at least have an order by design type. It looks unusual to have a lightning-styled token next to a dark-gradient token near to a striped token etc. I think it'd look better to have it arranged by style (like it would be if we were to unlock each token in the order of its release with the exception of the Scorpion-token thing)
