    It's fine, I don't really see why it would bother anyone much. It definitely didn't bother me :).

    it's fine but it seems unnecessary. it's easier to see what you have right now by looking at your amount of resources, than it is to look at the little changing number to the right of those resources and work out how many you're going to have in a second. bit of a pointless change imo.

    Communities* I think it was fine before the update. At the same time i'm happy more bugs have been fixed.

    Im still on the fence about this change, Im all for change but the resource counter might just be a bit too different for me.

    I've not played with it yet, but by initial thought when I saw it in the changelog was why this change couldn't be applied to just the resources you'd recently collected, while your total resources increase as normal? So instead of mining 50 stone when you already have 10 and having it say 10+50 , It'd say 60+50. My theoretical maths is pretty good but my mental arithmetic is appalling so I can imagine been easily confused by this for a little while, although maybe it might do me some good. The idea behind it is cool though.

    The new counter should be an option in the menu, for me it seems some what counter intuitive because the actual amount of stone you have is added once you stop mining, rather than having it constantly chage. This leads to me mining too much stone, previously relying on seeing that little bit of red in the corner of the screen, which can no longer indicate whether I hit the 250 limit.

    It would be just fine with me if the numbers began increasing the moment you mined the material, instead of waiting a second, which is a period of time that is just slightly shorter than the time between chopping tree segments, making the counting of gathered wood a math nightmare as random portions get added with each jab. The delay is absolutely awful looking with very limited items like bombs and arrows; I see the number of bombs in my inventory as important as my health.

    I find it quite pointless, but at times when the enemy has almost killed me and is still trying to kill me, I find it better to receive the rescouces instantly. At times I found my self waiting for the arrows to go up so i can shoot, but when they did a knight threw a bomb at me...

    I reckon it is stylish and adds style, like MM said, it will take a while to get used to, it has only been one day, and I like how the numbers count down, it actually didn't bother me my first round it only confused me a few times, so just some practice, but overall, good job devs.

    Well MM, I gave it a day, and I'm not seeing the light man.

    It makes absolutely no sense for bombs and arrows.
    Coming up next: a little -1 appears next to your hearts when you get hit, so that you can admire the stylish numbers counting down as you are in close, fast-paced combat!

    I agree, I don't consider it user-friendly.
    I would rather the main counter updates as usual and you get this new counter as a secondary 'recent changes to resource count' tracker. Best of both worlds.

    Maybe if the numbers would turn from green/red to normal faster, it would "feel" better.

    Hell no.
    :argh:
    :>:(:

    Now I have to do math or wait before the counters count to see what I got. Where the hell do you people get these ideas anyway?
