New bar, new watch.

Not sure how I feel about this one, but let's go.

It's "starting" at a healthy 90%

It's been an energetic few days.

Feels a tiny bit less energetic today but maybe I'm just leveling off from the high.

Have to say, it's pretty exciting to see all the activity and be a part of it. I'll be doing my part to raise the bar!

A half percent increase? I don't think one of those has ever happened this early in the game before.

The Entry Point Bar has returned at 96.8%.

Uh... does anyone remember where we left off?

Judging by the above posts, it would seem to have been at 90.5%.

97.7% now. Usually I have a joke about the number, but I'm actually writing this under a bit of a time crunch, so instead, enjoy whatever kind of meta humor this is.

It's now 97.73%. Which sounds like a lot more of an improvement than it actually is.

It increased to 97.79%. Which is exactly as much of an improvement as it sounds.

Doing the actual math in your calculations:

a 0.03 increase out of about roughly 2 to go is not a large imporvement, but a 0.06 increase is, again relative to the same proprtion of 2 overall to get to 100%?

That's like saying a 3 out of 200 improvement is not good, while a 6 out of 200 improvement is, even though they're roughly about the same quantity.

I know again that isn't the actual number, but in this case because it's an underestimation of the actual total amount the actual ratios would just make my point more clear that your judgements of what is a good increase vs a bad increase are pretty bizarre.

:facepalm:

That .2% represents a lot more than it looks like. The bar, for better or worse, is defined by a very specific task list, and the bulk of recent work has been a final polish pass on the late-game levels which, while it represents a lot of work and made significant improvements to the hold, wasn't on the task list.

So, that latest update to 98.42 must be... let's see... slightly more impressive.

From 98.42%, to 98.52%! A small, but entirely reasonable chunk of the overall whole. Especially given that there are over 1,000 rooms in the hold, so 1 room's worth of progress would be less than .1%.

And from 98.52%, to 98.64%! An even bigger jump! Only 11 (and a bit) of those left!

99.25% progress as of roughly today (or maybe a day or two ago, this isn't an exact science)

The September ETA is starting to seem pretty plausible!

I wonder what project will get the bar next after Entry Point releases, I guess DROD RPG 2?

The bar uses the American way of expressing decimals. Which means you just described 99 full bars, and one that's at 85%.

I'm fairly certain it's obvious that it's a typo, and he meant to put a decimal/period mark and not a comma.

You would be wrong. Both are acceptable and widely used.

You could call it just 0.03%, or you could call it one-fifth of what's remaining.. but 99.88% is still progress.

The last 0.1% is reserved for HA review, so it's really 60% of the remaining work.
