Skill Comparison calculator suggestion.

I suggest that the progress bars for the Skill Comparison calculator show your progress from level 1 rather than from the beginning of your current level. What we have now is pretty much meaningless unless you're only going for one or two levels.

Now, I realise that the fact that it is as it is supports that someone finds the current way useful, so as a compromise have an option for the progress bars to show short term or long term goals. Short term will be from the start of your current level, long term will be from 0 exp.

Thanks for listening.

I believe Mike already included this feature.
If you click Change Start Point to Level 1, isn't that what you want?

No, that just resets the current level to 1 without changing the goals. It's not at all the same thing, though it's kinda useful for finding the exp for a particular level.

You could just change them yourself.
You didn't say if you want to change the goal to 99 or current level so I assumed you want it to be at next level. So please explain yourself futher.

Okay, see, the progress bars provide a visual representation of the progress from the start of your current level to level X. This does not give an idea of how close you are unless you're only going for a small number of levels, three, maybe, at the most.

What would be better is if they showed the total progress: Starting at level 1, ending at level X, with the progress bar showing what portion of level X that you have. That way it would give an idea of how much progress you've made and how much is left to do, and would thus be a useful feature.

Oh, so at say..level 80, it would show something like...

Level 1 = [-][-][-][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] = Level 99

1986k/13000k (15% to 99)
