Clarify that silver is a tenth of gold [suggestion]

[sveinns]

I found it confusing when I first opened HabitRPG, that the silver coin appeared to the right of the gold - it might as well be platinum or something. I suggest either of the following changes to help ease people into the interface:

• Make the silver coin a tenth of a gold coin instead, to emphasize the fraction.
• Have a tooltip on the coin and the text saying "silver: .1 of gold" or something to that effect.

hmm, seems defacto in RPGs: WoW backpack, GW2 items. Maybe if I included copper. Tooltips not a bad idea though.

[sveinns]

I agree. But the backpack has the copper, which clarifies a bit. Maybe we should add copper and lessen the numerical error in rewards? :-P Maybe the silver can be a bit smaller, so as to emphasize its relative value to the gold? Both the gold and silver seem a bit dull right now, maybe making the gold a bit shinier would help?

Tooltips in general have been requested. I added a note for showing coin value tooltips.
Slight size adjustments and/or introduction of copper seem helpful, if not too difficult to implement.
Note: the value question has come up before #192.

Maybe use the loz style of monetary progression? I think would add to the rpg nature of the app.

@neohuman - what is the this loz you speak of?

Green Ruby is one and so on and so forth. We start with a green coin and
move up from there.

In case of need ^^

@Pandoro to the rescue!

I'm new, so I may have missed this detail, but from what I have seen, GP rewards can be listed as fractions when you complete a todo. That defeats the purpose of the GP/SP split. Rather than list a GP fraction, it should list it in the appropriate coinage.

In the announcement of the completion of the todo, you have the star symbol for experience, perhaps the appropriate symbol for the GP/SP/CP should go up also?

This may be a problem, but part of the joy/pain of being a PC is figuring just the hell what you are going to do with your coins. I know people that have dumped tons of loot simply because it was all CPs, because of encumbrance rules. Rather than automatically doing the conversions in the least possible coinage, perhaps have players lug around the coins as they are given, then make an upper limit for coinage you lug around, then get around that limit by first buying a coin purse to increase your coinage load, then other mechanisms as needed. So that players do tasks to earn ways to keep all of the cash that they have earned....

[Pandoro]

For this see also issue #51 Maybe we can close one of them to reduce the duplicate posts?

[StanLindsey]

Agreed @Pandoro
