Party Menu, or 'do we really need portraits there?"

This'll be a short post as I am incredibly sleepy, but here we go.

Do we need the portraits of party member faces in the left hand side by default ui widget when in a team? If you leave the team but have it available to join, i.e. in an instanced alert, it shows the health bars and energy bars under their names, which looks a lot cleaner than the sometimes loaded sometimes not portraits of the characters, and makes things a lot more responsive for healer characters I suspect.

Sorry if that makes no sense, again, my eyes are literally closing and I feel super drowsy right now.

In a way yes.. in another way no.

I guess its just a nice visual reminder of who is who in the party, there should be a option to toggle that portrait on the side on and off.

I don't mind the portraits at all. I just wish they were better (it's a weirdly distorting angle).

I don't feel that we need them there, nor do I feel that we need our own portrait next to the health bar. However, I really don't think that it would be a good use of CO resources to have them dig into the code to try and remove them.

Can you imagine what could be broken by this too? :eek:

I like the portraits. It's actually one of the things I though was kinda cool when I first started playing the game.
