Progress in Seconds left should be replaced

Postby GiraRay » 29 September 2017, 23:14

The progression indicator in the PB2 loadscreen is a text that says how many seconds there are left. Although this feature would be super cool if it actually would be accurate and correct, it just simply isn't. It skips seconds, is very slow and sometimes even increases by the second. This progression indicator is very inaccurate and misleading and I recommend replacing it with a progression bar which looks way cooler.
I know it's a subtle detail but it just irritates me for some reason because of its uselessness and inaccuracy.

Plus, no reason to have a bar if there's already a percentage indicator.

There's no telling when PB2.5 will be out. Of course, removing the indicator isn't very important but its uselessness and deception is just irritating. It'd be nicer to have a progress bar.

Maybe you should give my entire post a full read, it's not even long.

It will be a while until PB2.5 will be out. It'd be simple to replace the progress indicator with a progress bar.

I know that, but that doesn't change the fact that something like a progress bar, or simply a progress in percentage thing is better.

Of course, but it'd be cool though :D

Did I miss anything?
