Question about this new TP Bar

[Itseotle]

Yes but SE can't implement anything official that can't be smoothly run on all systems in operation. Only PC's had third party TP monitors.

right but I was quoting "Pretty sure its a combination of PS3 and server limitations on their end. (The latter is why we don't have a Company Chest in Ishgard yet)". Its not server limitations because 3rd party apps already do it. Its PS3 limitations. There was no need for them to remove the TP values and the party bonus display for PC users to "reduce system load".

On the flip side, only SOME people causing the extra load is different from 100% player base causing the extra load. Even if it is 100% of just 1 of 3 platforms. As with anything bandwidth related, it may be okay if some use more, you have problems if 100% do.

That's not quiet right either. The 3rd party plugins don't poll the server for data, the game does. The data 3rd party apps use is already being sent to you, whether your running the app or not. So its not like suddenly showing TP is way more server stress because it isn't. The data was being sent all along.
