    Not sure if this was addressed yet, but this bug also makes it very difficult to stay alive as a sorcerer. We used to be able to manage our hardened ward efficiently, and keep it up at all times. This bug makes it impossible to do that any longer. We basically have to spam our shield throughout the fight now for fear of it being down already. We cannot see if our shield is up or not except for the very brief period after we cast it (since the health bars go invisible shortly after).

    Also will love seeing this back on Xbox!

    Let me see both food buffs and Shields.

    Wouldn't mind default bars on console to be longer either. (with buffed bars longer than now). They are sooo short I always use food... if I use drink it is hard for me to keep track of my resources.

    Funny story there. This change was actually a bug (a very old one), and it was never intended that health bars be invisible while under the effect of consumables. That said, we've heard your feedback, and will be reverting this change in a future incremental patch.

    That is BS! Can you atleast give us the option to fade away like they do when there not buffed, love this change dont force screen clutter on me please.

    Will the affect all platforms @ZOS_GinaBruno ? Is there still any talk of making this an optional toggle?

    Yes, all platforms. There's discussion about changing the display in other ways, but the quickest thing for us to do was revert the change while we talk about what else can be done.

    It's working as intended. It's not a bug. A feature request to make it optional is entirely a different thing.

    AGREED! Please don't change it back! I hated seeing the health bars when farming. So much so that I quit using the food and drink. Please please please don't change this back.

    Pretty much how I imagine the Q&A/testing going on up there still.

    Known bugs , not caring.

    Sure, sure. how about an option in the Settings menu:
    • Always shows
    • Never shows
    • Only when buffed

    I personally hate not knowing whether the shield is on or off while in combat. So I would keep the bars always on.

    For the same reason my ability bars are always on.
    the swap bar on console is such a masterpiece of crap coding/desgin that you never know if the click actually registered or not. so I need visual confirmation.

    but then again, most of the times what you see on the screen is not what is happening on the server because of the massive lag in this game :)
