Party TP Bar - Follow up question to Live Letter

This should have been in the game from the start... if you can see your own TP bar in the party list, why not the entire party? it would help people like bards and rogues for songs and goad

^Yes, this. I like to see how is in need of my Goad ability to restore their TP instead of someone calling out. It allows me to help them out better.

There's already space on the party UI allocated to TP bars. It goes below each players buff/debuff icons exactly as it does for your own character. It won't take up any additional space since it's just filling in a gap in a window that was already prepped for it.

My guess is this was always intended to be added but they had memory issues for consoles prior to launch so it got cut until they could find a solution.

On my screen, default is 3 bars stretching across screen, then you get buffs. Takes up a lot of real estate.

Addons would fix this.

Just sayin'

I don't mean your personal stat bars; I'm referring to the party UI that only appears when you are in a party. It currently shows your own TP as a third bar, but every other player below you in that list does not have it displayed. There is already space for it below the five buff/debuff icons against each player's name on the party UI though. This addition would take up zero additional screen space since that section of the party UI is already dead space.

I thought thaat space was used for when a player was casting an ability?

That replaces their name... look closer.

I like how the response for the delay is "Ps3 Limitations" without straight up saying it.

It will most definitely take up space. It will add 7 more bars on my screen that do not have the ability to see through.

I hope I made myself clear in the original post. I FULLY support them adding the visibility of TP bars. I think it is very helpful, but not for everybody. So I am only looking for some support on the fact that it is unnecessary to force UI components onto the player base that will find it :nothing: but an eye sore. Thus, a show/hide function would be very much appreciated by many. ^.^

Yeah that's exactly it though. I don't care about seeing my TP. What do I need to see it for? "Oh yay I can sprint again!"
Again just to be clear, I FULLY support them adding the TP bars. It is not for everyone though and I think it's not very cool to add something without an option to turn it off, if you so choose.
