Hi.

As a QoL update, can we please have the option to display the small health bars above our teammates’ heads in matches? In the recent patch, these were removed from people you were partied with and I personally found them quite useful.

It would be nice if the option showed the health bars on all of your teammates, regardless of whether you were in a party with them or not too for when not grouped. I had hoped they’d fix it someday so this would be the case, but instead now we have no HP bars at all. =(

Thanks!

This was not an intended change. I believe we are going to be fixing it soon.

:-( but why
real permanent healthbars and the class icon for every player without the need to tab through them would be so helpful
now we always have to keep an eye on the upper left when we want to see the health bar of our party members
that is not good cause you have to keep an eye on the action in the middle of the screen healtbars would be really helpful here

I fully agree on always showing health bars on teammates.

Let me clarify. The removal of party/team/squad healthbars was unintended.

We’re going to fix it so that display at the correct times.

That’s awesome and will restore the original functionality. Thanks.

It would be great if HP bars appeared over all teammates though regardless of whether you were partied with them or not in PvP so even when solo queuing you could quickly see the status of teammates around you, or at least have the option to do so.

Cheers.

They’re not asking about the glitch.

The OP is suggesting that you have an option to keep the health bars permanently showing above everyone’s head without having to mouse over them or by being super close to them. It really doesn’t make sense -not- to have health bars showing at -all- times if you’re a healer of some sort.

I would like class colored/symbols on enemy health bars, and at least see my teamates. Really hard to know who needs heals etc etc

Do you know when? I’ve been looking everywhere for a way to fix this.

They did fix it ages ago, but what the dev is talking about and what the other people in this thread think he was talking about are two different things.

Lol I don’t understand you guys.

You want to remove every single thing that require a minimum of skill. Why not adding some features that highlight your mate that needs help ! Or when an enemy has no CD anymore just put automatically the target on him ? Why not supporting your mates automatically then ?

Being able to figure out who needs help, who has no CD, who is low life is something part of the game. If you are too lazy to do it don’t play it.
