I hate surprise leveling, give us an IMG progress bar!

First, it took me a bit to figure out how leveling worked, since I don't remember it being explained in the tutorial what was the game's version of experience and I didn't see an experience bar. Second, once I did figure out that IMG = experience, I didn't know how much I needed to level though I eventually found that under the picture. It's great that leveling refills our energy bar, except that its frequently wasted because I'll level when I'm at full because there's no easy way to track your leveling progress. There needs ot be some sort of IMG/level progress bar or meter like there is for energy and mood.

  • I miss the old test tube looking level bar in the old interace the more XP you got the higher the blue bar would go until it reached the top and you levelled up. TS can we have that back?

  • Current interface is sleeker but less readable/informative than the old version. One can hope that further tweaking will occur (cough *buffs* cough).

  • Agreed....also i dont see the point of taking up space for head of our Glitch, but maybe thats me. I just feel the space could be used better. And i still find the circle meters unreadable too, In any case it would be nice to keep ease of functionality while being able to easily read stats and meters.

  • +1. On a semi-related note: I'd love to see the exact time my plants have left as well.

  • I actually prefer to have all that stuff hidden--I suppose it reflects personal preference in style of play.  So...+1 to give the player a choice of two styles of indicators--the current one or the metrics driven one requested in this thread.  Yes, I am sure that is not very much work at all!

    :D

  • -1 I like the leveling being a pleasant surprise, especially since there's no real benefit to leveling any longer and it doesn't make sense to grind for it.

  • I don't like leveling being a surprise.  I do like surprises, and I'm generally in rabid favor of them, but in this case I've leveled up (and refilled my energy) within about 10 game minutes of a new day for 3 out of the last 5 levels.  That's really frustrating, and I'm sure it's a lot worse for newer players who don't have 4 or 5 digit energy tanks.
