Favor points max indicator...

I was sure I would see this here, as I discussed it with another user (who I can't remember, else I'd give credit) in global chat, but we need an indicator somewhere for showing how many favor points we've got with all the Giants in a particular day.  I understand that we can max those out, just like energy from meditation or coins collected in a day. 

I'm thinking an indicator for each Giant in the header bar between the learning rock and the 3 icons on the right for bug reporting/sound/I can't remember the third one.  Maybe something in the shape of each shrine that shows the favor points by day as a mouseover?

  • I'd like to be able to look this up, but absolutely don't want anything else visible on the screen by default.  My biggest problem right now is that there is so much information being displayed that it sometimes gets in the way of the game itself.

     And there are streets I try to avoid now because of all the visual clutter.

  • Oh, I'm all for not having more visual clutter, but I think this might be a necessary item.  I mocked something up quickly in photoshop (I know the TinySpecker's would come up with something more refined).  I can't post it here, but here's the link: twitpic.com/53sgsb

    So, what I'm thinking here is putting the emblem for the shrine that's in that area in the bar up top, along with the name and the number of favor points/max points or a percentage complete.  If you click the emblem, then you get another window that slides down (like you do for the current daily max) that shows all of the emblems and the favor points that you've gotten per day.  That or it's just a simple emblem, without an indicator of which Giant it's for, and you click that to get the window with all the favor point counters, instead of pushing the current Giant and it's totals for each location, as that might be a push on the system to constantly display that.

  • +1 WhizGidget.  I like your mock up image and how it is intended to work.

    Favor checking is useful; especially if you are close to leveling up or finishing a quest; and you want to use the favor at all shrines for learning and do not need any more emblems.

  • Perhaps this would work better as a Greasemonkey script, so that only people who wanted to add the image to their screen would have to look at it.  Anyone who didn't want it wouldn't have it on their screen.
