I somewhat agree, actually even brought it back in my own custom client and added two more bars for time dilation and something else I can't remember at the moment.
I find that it is mostly superceded by the statistics bar (ctrl-shift-1), which is easier to relate to and can provide tons of information. Due to handling numbers, which can provide a lot more information sometimes than a graph bar. It would be great if the mini bar graphs would make a comeback. But I think they might need some improvement so they can be easier to "relate to". The basic statistics are generally extremely useful for complex software that cannot provide the utopian perfect experience at all times and are liable to lag of any form, even for a ton of people that aren't techies and don't understand the intrinsic nature of computer networks and such. If people aren't given a source of cause to Lag they become frustrated and feel helpless to explain to others what might turn out to be a local problem. It all boils down to taking a quick glance to understand three sources of most obvious problems that cause "Lag": - There is a problem with your computer: [FPS] - There is a problem with your connection: [Ping, Bandwidth, Packet Loss] - There is a problem with the Sim/LL: [Time Dilation] - Nexii On Tue, Jan 25, 2011 at 7:26 AM, Erin Mallory <angel_of_crim...@hotmail.com>wrote: > VWR-3156 has over 200 votes.
