Heat visualization for Hobosmith

I think a purely graphical indicator would be a bad move. look at the difference between having health % on monsters hp bars vs not. it’s the kind of qol that should not have taken 4 years and raids to implement. we should always have info that important available through 1st party software.
I feel extremely strongly about this and will not be convinced otherwise.
extremely important gameplay revolves around heat: explode with the 150% trait and you probably die. not maintaining it loses tons of damage. the visual difference between 100% and 105-120% will be next to nothing, but one means go to photon immediately and the other means go to it in like 10 sec, and 10 sec is a lot.

I think you’ll have to memorize when you explode through combat practice. I’ll definitely practice until I get it pinned down. I doubt there will be a bar, it could be your character’s holo colour

I definitely haven’t made up my mind on this, so what kind of an indicator do you think would be ideal? A simple heat bar would be basic, or maybe they can upgrade the actual character model visual, maybe even add a new color/effect for being just 10 points from exploding.

just put the number for your heat somewhere visible and big enough to not have to squint and that will suffice. its a number we will constantly have to have attention dedicated to. anything less will make the spec unnecessarily, pointlessly, and extremely hard to play.

There is a heat bar, it was just bugged and didn’t show for the people that were able to play that content.
