What is unrealistic about it?
Players will still develop their skills and gamesense over time. This change will help give them more information in real time. I think this helps newer/less experienced players most, but it will even help higher skilled players keep track of their teammates status. It will help coordinate pushes if you know your team is all full HP & what their ult status is without having to do a 360 to look at your teams HP or open the scoreboard for ult charge.
It’s about time! You’ve been missing out on all my spot on hot takes.
Agreed! It’s literally just putting the info on your screen at all times (while not overloading your screens UI if they do it right) instead of having to tab for ult charges
This will help with teamwork coordination big time without everyone having to be on comms.
There isn’t one
I’m also guessing it’ll be optional. If you don’t want party frames, you can probably turn them off to get rid of any potential visual clutter. Though if they do it well, it shouldn’t take up much space. Just put 4 tiny circles surrounded by HP/ult charge right above your health bar/icon in a horizontal line, boom. Now you know all of your teammates HP/ult charge at all times and won’t have to tab the scoreboard and block your entire screen to find out
You tell em
How are party frames bloated/buggy/break the game? They’re probably going to be optional, and they could take up very little space by your already existing healthbar. It shouldn’t feel cluttered if they do it right.
I think it’s a great service to new players. This game has a pretty large learning curve and keeping track of everything can be hard. These party frames should help with that.
Seriously What’s with all the toxicity about it? Seems like nothing but a Win.
I never gave much thought to it, but wow, I somehow didn’t see that thread. Great idea & I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a liked post.
Why is that?
I don’t think it really does that, not to any meaningful degree anyways. It’s not like players can just click portraits to heal their teammates, they still have to play the game. If anything, this just helps teams coordinate better without having to constantly have comms saying what their ult charge is, and it will help coordinate pushes knowing that your team is either full HP, or not.
