A suggestion to reduce lag

    From what I've noticed on my i5 3570k + HD 7950 computer, the only thing that ever makes the FPS dip below 60 is when there is too much money on the ground. I propose that nearby coins will automatically condense into larger coins. Because coin amounts are currently hardcoded values, I also propose that the 'type' of coin (eg the $100 coin) become valid between the intended value and the next coin's value - 1. eg if there is a $5 coin and a $10 coin, the $5 coin will display for cash values of $5 to $9.

      Hm. Interesting idea that might also prove aesthetically pleasing. I like it.

        Huge/fancy coins for ludicrous amounts could actually be pretty neat. This suggestion brings to mind the mana crystals in Dungeon Defenders and how every time I think I've seen the last size, I find out there's something huger and shinier for an amount I haven't even amassed yet.

          What, how can you suggest downgrading the game, the epic amounts of cash spewed out end game is just, so, epic.

            Perhaps it could be a feature turned on and off, incase there are folks who want dosh everywhere.

                Ludicrous amounts of coins are epic, yes, but what if we had ludicrously SIZED coins in the end game? Eh? Eh? I do agree though, there are too many coins once you start to gib hordes 30+ minutes into it.

                I don't think coins need to do anything complicated like condensing, I think there just need to be larger denominations. Maybe $100, $250, $500, and $1,000?

                  IIRC $100 is the biggest currently.

                  Maybe larger coins for $250, 500, 1k, 2k, 5k, 10k, 25k, 50k, and finally 100k. Nothing's ever going to drop 100k by itself, but it's good to have :lol:

                    I'd like to see coins that look prettier and also resemble larger amounts of cash. Imagine something like this dropping:
