still no word of tp bars

it's down right pathetic that you have to use 3rd party parsers to be able to see tp bars in game. so the ps3 can't handle more stuff on the screen you say? well so? you have two other systems that can.

you give ninja's goad and bards army's but you make them have to guess most of the time when to use them and who to use them on. that's terrible design. please fix this already. if a 3rd party program that wasn't even built for it can do it you can do so don't say it's beyond your limitations like always

o/

I'm on ps4 and I cant see everyone's TP bar, maybe a settings issue but HP/MP is all I see I have to scroll on the side bars to see everyone's TP ....really a non issue as melee should let you know when theyre out of Tp as every healer has a macro for when MP is low :P or atleast they should ( WHMs)

it's the same for all systems. you have the hp bard, the mp bar but no tp bar. they -should- let you know but some times when they need it most it's either stop and write they need it or die. not everybody macro's and not everybody does mumble, ts or whatever program people use. it should be in the game for people to see

PS3 limitations.

Adding another bar to the party list eats memory if I recall right about a dev responding to this.

so don't add it to the ps3 version. they're not going to support ps3 forever anyways. us pc users can get by fine with 3rd party programs but ps4 users are being held back which isn't fair for them.

If its a PS3 limitation issue they could just add it to PS4/PC. They did this before when they made expanded inventory a PS4/PC only feature.

this, there's no reason it shouldn't have been added already. even if it was just something you could turn on or off it should be there.

If it is really a PS3 issue then all they need to do is have a setting on which 2 of the 3 bars you get to have displayed. I'm sure the NIN don't give a flip about MP, maybe BRD don't about health, they can see MP and TP and know at a glance without anybody saying a word. Then, the system is already in place to display and show TP, for when PS3 is no longer supported, and then everyone (PS4, PC, Mac) can have all 3 bars showing as an option.

An alert player can pretty much tell when people are TP starved. As a Bard, it's part of my job ^^

It'd be nice to have for people like me who have the attention span of a trashed duck lol. My bard bromies would sure appreciate it D:!

play a tank you quickly realise when a tank needs tp after you play one a bit would be nice but wont happen

There was a dev response on this a bit ago, saying theyd have to remove another HUD element in order to add this.

However, even with TP bars most NIN/BRD wont help with TP since they arent paying attention to that...heck, the vast majority of BRD wont sing mana song unless asked, even if the heals had to do heavy rezing (actually, most wont even sing Foe's with a party of BLM...shows how much they look at the party list)

Will this help raiders, and the NIN/BRD who actually pay attention to these things and will restore TP? Of course. I'd love to have TP bars as a WAR (Overpower all the things!), but overall...this isnt actually going to magically stop people from being TP starved unless you play with someone who already is singing for you...or you ask for it.
