But why is there an x next to it? Aren't the o and x there to signify being able to see the information in any way, shape, or form or am I misreading the preamble?
We definitely understand how many of you would like to see other stat values displayed, besides just attack and defense. Unfortunately, at the current time it is a bit difficult. This information is not kept client side and in order for this information to be displayed it would be necessary to increase the amount of information that is sent from the server to the client.
Increasing this amount of information sent to the client means an increase in the amount of data traffic, so the reason it is difficult is due to the fact that we are considering the risk of lag this could cause.
The same reason holds true for some other requests we have seen, such as displaying party member’s status ailments and other information.
Again, we realize the necessity for these things, but please understand that at the moment it is very difficult to do.
I followed up with the development team about the possibility of displaying information that is already available on the client-side and they mentioned that they will be proactively looking into ways to display party/alliance TP, MP, and other information to coincide with the UI revamp timing.
Alrighty! Just got this fancy list to share with you showing what we can have displayed information-wise since it is already sent to the client. This way there is no need for guessing!
Circles denote information that is already displayed in some way shape or form on your client.
Party/Alliance Member Information
○ HP
○ MP
○ TP
○ HP %
○ MP %
× Mog House invitation flag
× Mog House area that you are invited to
Information that is only sent to yourself pt.1
○ Max HP
○ Max MP
○ Main job
○ Main job level
○ Support job
○ Support job level
○ Experience points
○ Experience points until the next level
○ STR
○ DEX
○ VIT
○ AGI
○ INT
○ MND
○ CHR
○ Main weapon attack power
○ Defense
○ Elemental resistances
○ Title
○ Mission rank
○ Rank points
○ Home point

Information that is only sent to yourself pt.2
○ Ability recast time
○ Battle skills

Information that is only sent to yourself pt.3
○ Limit points
○ Merit points

× Flags for having at least one level 75 job
○ Status of experience points (capped or not)
○ Mode selection (experience points/limit points)
For all of the above, without worrying about the display location or method, it is in fact possible to display this information. On the other hand, information besides what is listed here would be very difficult to display.
As stated in my last post, the development team will be looking into displaying information such as MP and TP for party/alliance members to coincide with the UI revamps.
If you have any other feedback regarding what you would like to see displayed, please refer to the above list when making suggestions.
