The Party Status Window: TP DISPLAY!, by Keits

Well, my Samurai is lv58. I'm almost level 60. What is the one thing I want most? Is it AF? Is it a new job ability? No. Its a change to the Party Status Window.

I want that window to HP, MP, *And TP*. This would reduce the stress of my job 10 fold. Instead of watching the text fly by looking for TP calls, I can just glace at the party window and see who is ready to launch a skillchain with me.

I would love to see this implimented, as it would reduce chat window spam and help skilled samurai work accross the language and skill barriers a bit better (as well as help anyone involved in skillchain or magic burst).

That is a VERY good idea, It would help every melee our in this game along iwht the mages for the MB. As a thief I always have to ask and be ready right when i have tp, so I can Sneak Trick Viper. Having the tp dispayled would be a great help.

Amen. . . not that it would affect me as a PLD that much but this would be a great idea

All we ask for is just a number. Theres room to the left of the mp bar for the TP percent. This would make chaining so much easier and lessen the TP spamming.

maybe Also an option that would be macro-able to make your TP gauge flash? (until used) maybe turn green or something? almost like a "TP ready!" but it would just flash, much easier ^^, plus you can't miss it unless your not paying attention

Yes, yes, and yes.

This idea is absolutely perfect. If SE is really monitoring this forum like they say, then they can't help but want to implement this, the idea is genius.

PURE GENIUS! yup totally agree, benifits outweigh the disadvantages i say!

OMG! This is SO needed in this game! It would reduce:

a) Lag
b) Spam
c) Number of macros Melee's have. Say your a PLD (I can't gauruntee this, I'm not one) and you need macros for Abilities, Weapon Skills, Magic, and then one for a TP report. No telling how many that is. I, as a monk, also would greatly enjoy this so I can actually have room for my next Ability/Weapon Skill.

There's probably more, but this is DEFINATELY needed!

Personally, Id prefer a Number over another bar. The bar is arbitrary and takes up space. A simple percentage (with the posibility of automatic or command flashing/glowing) is more than enough for me.

Add my vote here, TP Display really helps ...

Ok ok I'm still loving and thinking about this idea. Upper left hand visible Bars for all to see Mob's TP and Party's TP BARS. If your a Mage you can turn yours off.

EXCELLENT IDEA!

Rate the Post up if it's a good idea that's what Administrators recommend.

totally agreed on this idea... Bump!

I figure the more people agree with this, the bigger chance there is of it being implemented .. so .. I agree a hundred-fold. This would make partying so much smoother, and much more enjoyable.

Great idea.

I am now throwing my vote into the box... *throws* ...okay, there we go.

Excellent idea, and I think both a % to the side or a bar similar to HP or MP would be fine, either way it would be an excellent addition.

A must have for all.

wow.. this addition would be totally perfect, pleeeeaase do this SE.. it would make life for melee AND mage a whole load better.

post rated ^high^

I agree ^^ Definently needed

Great Idea! Could have used it last night when we were constantly spaming Tp macros! I like the bar idea, but if space is an issue, the percent number would be fine!

EXCELLENT!!! i'm a SAM and I wanna know the TP of my SC mates all the time. With this all i need is to glance at the bar and i'm done! GOOD IDEA!! hopefully squenix is monitoring this and see it and discover what a fool they've been by not having it in the begining.

We could also include an option to not include the TP bar for anyone with mp. That includes war/whm too. Its too hard and space consuming to monitor 3 bars. So mages can have the option to take it off ( who wants mage TP anyway).

But for melee, all melee must have the TP bar on at all times.
This will prevent those idiots that just like to annoy ppl by taking it off and refusing to put it back on. Or those ppl that turn it off and don't know how to turn it back on.
The TP bar will replace where the MP should be.

That way, there will be no extra space needed for the TP bar whatsoever.

Boricua, I never said that ppl with an MP bar will go away. I meant that the people with MP can make thier TP bar go away, not MP. Only people with MP can have that option. Of course they can choose to not use that option.

*Bump*

Even though I play WHM I want to bump this! It would cut down the amount of TP-reporting messages making it easier for WHM to see who has what status effects and whatnot.

Of course in conjunction with some way of reporting status effects to party members aside from in the text box, it would be perfect!

Nice Idea

anyone have any concept photoshop graphics for what it could look like? I'd be quite interested.

Yep. I like the concept idea from the last post!!
