showing frendly health bars!
I haven’t even thought about that yet, but if it’s true they should definetly implement it!
Agreed! This is definitely something that would come in handy as an option to enable/disable.
This drives me crazy as well.
i agree, However same reason as it doesn’t give the enemies exact HP or cast bar. So you stop looking at UI.
It’s been the devs’ intent to minimize UI elements to the greatest extent possible, and have players rely on the visual effects of the game itself as a replacement. This makes the game play more like an action combat game than a traditional MMO.
I think it’s as likely that they’ll add friendly health bars as that they’ll add enemy cast bars, which is to say, not. It would be nice feature in hotjoin 8v8, though. In 5v5 tournaments, you have your party bars providing that information, so it’s not as big a deal there.
I actually think that adding the health bars above friendly heads would mean LESS playing the UI. Currently if you want to see a teammate’s health you have to check the upper-left. There is no way to tell how hurt a friend is just by looking at them, like there is for an enemy.
Also, I’ve wanted this a lot in PvE. I’m often in ad-hoc groups, and I have to mouse-over people to see how hurt they are.
I can’t imagine playing Starcraft without all health bars on. Starcraft doesn’t feel at all like playing the UI.
I would like to see this aswell because if you want to play a more supportive roll you need to be able to see who needs support ^^.
