Would it be good to see the target HP while fighting it?
Hi,
As said in the title, this poll is about seeing an HP bar and/or the current HP of the current target monster.
This doesn't mean it's gonna be added soon, but it would be nice to get players feedback about it.
You can also see the origin of all this in there:

Not knowing the health of the enemy makes combat more exciting in my opinion.

You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.

I wouldn't be against a ternary representation of it (high/mid/low health remaining).

What about a spell that can tell you the current remaining hp at the time you cast it?

Hi,
a slightly more useful spell would reveal health bars for a certain number of monsters in range for a certain time to everyone (using a status effect).

The first three options are for Yes in some form and ATM 50% said yes, and the second last is no which is 33% only so IMHO they should be done. Just the bars so players dont have exact idea. Like for a healthier monster the bar will go slowly etc... It would also be fun,

You can't design a game based on majority vote. Players are usually biased towards making the game easier for them.black wrote:The first three options are for Yes in some form and ATM 50% said yes, and the second last is no which is 33% only so IMHO they should be done.

Re: Would it be good to see the target HP while fighting it?
While opposed to everyone getting to view monster HP, I like this idea. Perhaps this, but instead of bars, auras (IE, Green for 75%+, Yellow for 75%-25%, and Red for 25% or less) as was suggested by Cotillion in the other thread (slightly tweaked).fate wrote:Hi,

Utility spells FTW.
