Question about this new TP Bar

[WHS]

In the patch notes they state:

The party list has been adjusted as follows:
Players can now see the TP bar of all party members.
To reduce system load, the values for your TP bar have been removed.
To reduce system load, the list of party bonuses has been placed on the Party Members tab under Party in the main menu.

To which system resources did they refer? pc? ps4? or the ps3?

Must be one naughty tp bar to be eating up all these resources especially on pc.

Can someone please explain cause I don't get it.

PS3. If it's ever to reduce system load for anything it's PS3.

PS3. If it's ever to reduce system load for anything it's PS3.

If that was the case, they'd have only changed PS3 UI.
It already works that way. For example, if you use the Focus Target on PS3, your gil disappears.
And, during a Dungeon or a FATE, your Quest Log disappears too...which could be really be useful even on PC and PS4.

Could be that seeing numbers would be seen as advantageous by some players so they decided to make it universal. PS4 & PC are both more than capable of displaying the numbers, it could also be server limitations... =l

Your quest log disappears? But FATE and Duty info is IN the quest log.. why would it remove it, wtf?

Only the "Quest Log", not the "Duty Log".
Basically, if you're in dungeon, you'll only see the duty for the dungeon, no more quests.

On my PS4, if I'm in a long dungeons and have a whole bunch of long quests, my log takes the whole right part of my screen, and overlaps with my crossbar and my stats.
So I did a macro to toggle duty info on/off.

Yeah, that doesn't make sense. I'm assuming it's all the non-active duties, anyway.

You can actually toggle that off in the UI via a hotkey, though. I have a special macro to toggle all the UI elements that clog up the screen (duty list, extra hotbars, inventory, etc) so I can de-clutter my screen when I need to see more of the action.

Do share! I would love this

[Gunspec]

Might be a way of saying there was too much crap on the UI.

Also to reduce the system load on THEIR end. They seem to always have some issues regarding that as well.
