Show XP instead of XL?

[lyraley]

I tried the new skill training system for the first time . And I shall say it seems better then before but need time to accustomed.
What I want to say is that can we display the amount of XP instead of XL in the Stat Area? Or just show how many XP to go before the next Level? You know, it's exciting when you kill a powerful guy and see the XP shoot up. On the other hand, the number of XP gained can help newbies(like me) to identify which enemy is dangerous and valuable.

How about percentage to go to next level?

XL is much more informative than XP to the next level and should figure in the main screen, there's not much of an argument there. i also miss the values in the pool because they helped in some ways (to learn how much XP a monster you've never seen is worth, the effect of summons, and bug-finding even) but it doesn't make any sense with the new system (and it wasn't very reliable to begin with). if you want to know how far along you're in the XL race you can always type 'E'. note also that there are plans to remove explicit display of XP and to provide the progress to the next level as a percentage instead. that could figure in the main screen too.

as for identifying dangerous enemies (read: worth a lot of XP) there's the plan to give you a measure of their difficulty when you encounter them (like ash's divination thing), which is better in that you'll be told something *before* you kill it. if you really want more details, you can always use the bots.

Suggest XL be presented as a double representing level plus percentage to next level:

XL.XP%

Displayed as

XL = 10.8

Translation: you are experience level 10 with 80% gained towards level 11.

I like it, XuaXua.

i think i'd settle for 10 (83%), there's room for it.

It would be nice to have some sort of indication of how much (perhaps relative) XP your last kill was worth.

I don't see the point of this.

There's even room for:

  Code:

XL: nn   Next: nn%

[XuaXua]

Anything would be better than what we have; I just didn't know the size of the real estate.

  Code:

Level: ##   Next: ##%


edit: it's not like the next line isn't "Gold: ##"

Done.
