Mass Decadence: Extreme.Amasius said:
How about AGE OF ASS?
Do you really think you'll often put points into a skill and then remove them again? How much effort would that be, anyway? You increase a skill by a few points, then maybe reduce it again. And then, maybe, you're even increasing it again by one or two points because you accidentally reduced it too much. That's kind of the worst case scenario I see. I mean, how lazy can you be? Maybe you want VD to come over to move the mouse for you?Relien said:I have to disagree with that. There actually exists something like a "mouse movement laziness" if it's connected with actions you could do often - like tweaking skill point increases during levelling up. It would be more convenient to have the "+"/"-" buttons next to each other. Just keep the "+" on the right of the number box and eventually display "-" right next to it.

<cool>
Of course. If we won't be able to subscribe for the unlimited and free mouse-moving service once the game is out, I'm not buying it. Iron tower has to think about the fans!Claw said:Maybe you want VD to come over to move the mouse for you?
Adding is teh hard!Gruu said:What if, like with all other skills, the left number for the weapons represented the number of skill points invested while the right number represented that number + synergies, i.e. effective skill value?
Thanks.Ismaul said:But seriously, I think the idea has got merit.
I believe it's effective on the left.Ismaul said:is it currently the effective skill level, or the skill points invested in it?
Something else occurred to me about the +/- option: What about the mouse scroll wheel? It seems like a very natural fit and it means you don't need to use real estate for the buttons.Ismaul said:Apart from that, I'm starting to lean towards Relien's opinion (which was my original one) about the + and -. Usability comes before esthetics, and there isn't really an esthetic concern there.
Maybe, but not everyone has a scroll wheel.Gruu said:Something else occurred to me about the +/- option: What about the mouse scroll wheel? It seems like a very natural fit and it means you don't need to use real estate for the buttons.
Perhaps not <I>everyone</I> does, but I imagine that by now <I>almost</I> everyone does. That said, I see what you're getting at, and there would need to be an alternative method like up/down or left/right arrow keys. For the common case, though, the scroll wheel might be worth checking out. It's supported in standard Windows spinboxes like the one where you say how many copies of something you want to print.Ismaul said:Maybe, but not everyone has a scroll wheel.
Means "the money guy":Mr Happy said:So, what exactly is the "Quaestor" trait? Some sort of political rank?
