Demonic_Kat Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I know the USA is archaic in its determination to keep the US standard but when a gamer like me sees "80kg" of weight, it means absolutely nothing to me until I convert it. Can there be a toggle like the watch toggle (military/standard) for the time? This will help US players check their weight and make quick judgements at a glance. xXxFANCYCAPYBARA36xXx, DresdenBBQ, Kuren and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livio Persemprio Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Agreed, but as far as i'm aware the weight system is its own thing based on a mix of actual weight and how cumbersome an item is (don't quote me on that though) trombonaught and Footmuffin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no units of measure for the game's magical version of weight. trombonaught and Footmuffin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindcoder Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I think Demonic_Kat means the weight in the nutrition system. Kuren, grammarsalad and Demonic_Kat 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would help some of the younger people playing this game but i've played so many games that have have been made in Europe, or just use military time that i can convert military to standard american in an instant.

Kuren Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I completely agree and even recommended they do this when nutrition was first released for testing. Not only is it confusing for US players but I've always found the 80kg (175lb) start too high for an average person.

The time doesn't bother me. I use military time at work. I'm just saying there is a toggle to switch it. I can't convert kg to lbs in my head though. x.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't convert kg to lbs in my head though. x.x You can simply multiply the kilograms by 2 and add 10% of the kilograms twice and you have a pretty accurate estimate of how much your character weights. 80 x 2 = 160 160 + 8 + 8 = 176 I personally use a similar "system" to quickly count how fast I drive a car in mph (speed limits) when my car is scaled in km/h. i.e. I see a 50 mph speed limit, I add half of that and then 10% and I have my km/h 50 + (50/2) = 75 75 + 5 = 80 km/h Where the official conversion is 50mph = 80.46720kph. I'd say that's accurate enough Edited February 8, 2017 by Geras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say that's accurate enough Thanks for the mathematical tricks! I'm sure that you shouldn't be thinking so hard when you're driving though... the conversion should be right on your dash! I still see a use in a toggle though. grammarsalad and Kuren 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
