Yoshi P statement regarding third party tools

[KuroMaboroshi]

This is a really good direction.

It is a really good sentiment, but the direction is already wrong. Before any UI and HUD improvements, what they should be focusing on is removing latency-induced animation lock, aka. finally fixing the netcode.

Now, of course I suspect this means that the UI team currently has capacity to look into such things while the server team has none, but still, they if they are at all aware of the issue, they should at least have mentioned they might look into it at the next possible point in the future.

Don't get me wrong, I don't disagree with this, I just simply think that it is a good direction they're willing to look into and review some of the more prominent tools. From experience, most wouldn't even give these matters the time of day to consider making them integral to the game itself. Which given the multi-platform nature of the game it's crucial.
