Not to sound ungrateful, but I really liked this AP dial a lot and thought it was one of the cooler

I thought it was one of the cooler changes that set Prime apart from the previous iteration of the scanner. Is there a chance it can come back or we could have both. Have the dial show progress from zero AP to present toward next level, while the bar can show level to level progression?

  • I agree. It's strange to make XM bar circle but AP bar straight.

  • Same. It was less intrusive yet remained concise.

    Yes, concur. I think the semicircle should have been fixed to show level-to-level progress and that's it.

    On a related note, now my Ingress profile shows "5,125,888 / 7,000,000 AP" whereas before it would have said "22,125,888 AP". And yes, the Lifetime AP is also there, but I'm a recursed agent so that's a different figure. I don't think I like this change (though I guess I could live with it).

  • If the AP bar had shown level-to-level progress it would have been perfect! Although personally I do like the thicker XM bar in the current version.

    I was a big fan of the level progression in the semi-circle, next to XM. I can get used to the new layout, it's not "bad", but preferred the previous.

    Overall, I am liking this new version, so I also don't want to appear ungrateful.

    Really? I thought 0-level was better because it made you feel more accomplished and closer to your next goal.

  • I wish the AP bar were the gauge, and the XM were the linear bar.

    should be opposite, i find it so weird having xm as a circle.. feels so strange....

    I love them both on the circle. Especially the xm and the was Lawson cubes are displayed

  • I agree with all of the above, the original prime AP/XM/Lawson gauge was informative, concise, and out of the way. Regressing back to a classic AP bar and thickening up the XM lines to fill space feels like it added more visual weight to the top of the screen and decreased one of the few faction-themed elements from the UI. :(

    I would much prefer a bar that shows my overall AP progress to the next level and not the difference between current level to the next. And having it in the "player circle" helps keep all player info in one spot in a unified format instead of all over the screen using different formats. Just because it was done that way in Redacted doesn't mean it was better.

    I agree and now there are three different AP values in profile menu instead of two, which is confusing. I think that lifetime AP value is much more important and should be at least bolded.

    This change is sad, no more 40M ap finisher but a 16M ?

  • At high levels, it looks strange because when you level, the bar is still half full, but just before it was almost completely full. There's no clean transition.
