Guild Wars 2

SUGGESTION:

• Option to permanently display every ally’s green HP bar on screen

REASON:

NOTE: This is mostly WvW related but as a whole it would be helpful in PvE, too.

Currently in WvW running with allies be they in my squad/randoms not in squad only the people near me or where my mouse hovers on the screen will their green health bars show up.

This is troubling at times because some people behind me could be taking damage and I wouldn’t know about it where I could have taken action if all their green HP bars were visible.

EXAMPLE:

Being on a dedicated healer Druid – it is very difficult to pry out those in need. Sure there is the squad system but I am almost always focused on what’s IN FRONT of me whilst fighting another zerg. Being able to see all my ally’s green HP bars on screen would help me concentrate on who actually needs the heals or who is about to go down etc so I may position myself near them.

Do you think this would be game breaking at all? Thoughts?

I don’t think it would be game breaking, as long as it can be turned on/off.

That said, I’m not sure if adding a mass of green bars to the chaos on the screen would help, or just make things worse. From a purely PVE perspective, and playing on a fairly large monitor, I sure as heck can’t see much of anything if enough players pile on top of the boss/mob and do their flashy kaboom stuff, especially in zergs.
