✭✭✭✭✭I love the new healthbars. I never could get used to the ones introduced with IC/orsinium? I liked them before the first change. Hate(d) their current life version.
I do understand people wanting an option for simpler ones though.Edited by Derra on April 27, 2016 7:53AM<Noricum>

✭ZOS fix this health bar issue. Some things are best left alone.
Problem is folks we can all provide our comments about this idiotic change to the health bars but they will not listen. Some ZOS brain child dreamed this one up like so many other idiotic things they have done to this game.0 -

Orsinium or IC (not sure which one) introduced new "slimmer" health bars on top of NPCs that barely visible on low HP targets in dark/shady areas. They about halved the width of the red HP bar, reduced width of black border and on top of that added a fading/see through effect on interfering with other UI elements.
Was one of the major offsets for me as it quite frequently happened i would not finish off really low HP targets as i simply would not notice them bc the HP bar wasn´t noticeable enough.<Noricum>

They were made thinner, I liked that. On the left is pre-IC, on the right post-Orsinium (couldn't find any screenshot from between those updates with health bars)

Thinner and have a see through effect (which makes them almost invisible) on non focused low HP targets.
I really dislike the current live version and like the pre IC version. I guess it would be nice to give people options to choose from.<Noricum>

Ah cool, thanks for that. I guess I never paid that much attention to the difference. Out of the three, the current PTS ones I think are definitely the worst; personally, I like the thinness of the current Live ones and the boldness of the pre-IC ones. The current PTS ones are too big and intrusive overall, and the large yellowy border is the worst part - it's unnecessary, and makes them even bigger than they need to be.

Dromede✭✭✭✭I usually use FTC add-on that changes the view of my healthbar and makes it 'bulkier' than the unmodded version, but this is too much even for my taste.
It looks especially bad on trash animal mobs in the wild. For something that dies within 3 seconds, that enormous healthbar is just too much

Sugaroverdose✭✭✭✭✭Seems like ZOS trying to reveal people who uses terrain and green to zergs. GJ ZOS, this oversized health bars will not give any chance to such people, what about also make 'zerg ruler' mechanics where people agrees to give full control of character abilities to group leader, that zerg will also kill anyone just by 24 executes oneshot.0
