Would it be possible to make current job/class level be displayed regardless of where each memeber is at in the party list with the current client/before 2.0?

I think this is a great idea, and could be simply displayed with the job/class icon on the party list ui.
I dont remember exactly but did the 2.0 screenshot have this next to their name? the icon? or was it just their name had it in it like all the media videos we get currently? -

Yes please, hiding class and level information is stupid.
Why not have pop up text when I move my mouse over the party list ? -

This was in the UI of the 2.0 concept screenshot so I don't think this function will make it in until then when the UI is totally redone.

I don't understand why it hides party member information from you if players are not close by.

if search can get this info, why not party list though?

03-19-2012, 06:54 AMJinkoI was saying the same thing in LS chat the other day, I suppose UI in 2.0 will show all this info.Quote:

I would MUCH prefer the class being shown such as PLD50, CON45 etc Or show the Icons -

Viion I get the feeling that is what you choose as your role when entering a party or content finder.
It's basically so the content finder can match up classes to make a balanced party.
2 = (T)anks, 1 = (H)ealer, 3 = (A)ttackers, 1 = (B)uffer, 1 = (C)aster (at least in that 2.0 pic) -
03-19-2012, 07:44 AMviionhuh? No its the party list lol not the content finder. You assign yourself as something, this was all translated by the devs back when it was released XDQuote:

I think the OP is talking about the "party details" in the Party menu. -
03-19-2012, 08:53 AMviionOh I thought he was talking about the Party List that is always on screen, that shows Light/Full border, not the "Party Details". The party widget displays no such information regarding a job or class, or even level, so I thought he ment that when people were saying "this is coming with 2.0, im sure its shown on the UI", when it is not shown on the UI, all that is shown is a letter.Quote:

I could be a WHM and put down Assault saying I will nuke! Bit misguiding, a Bard could also put down Assault instead of being a Support type, again doesnt make sense and I think showing the Tag of the Class or Job such as WHM or BRD or GLA would be much better in the party widget.
As for the Party Details, they've already said its a limitation of the servers and will likely be fixed in 2.0, but even saying that, it isnt uncommon, i think TERA also suffers from this, but I know SWTOR doesnt!
