Aaaaand there we go.

If they implement this, you don't like it... Leave it off? I could see an argument if it becomes mandatory, but until then, who the hell are you to tell people what they should enjoy seeing on-screen or not? If Tribute wants to see damage numbers and dance around the room and clap his hands together while singing a song... Why the fuck shouldn't he?

Cause it will "ruin" the whole idea of the game...to be hard with no bar helps floating numbers etc... so lets say GGG will let you install ADD-ONS for the game to be more fun for you and to "help" you more... that would be "OPTIONAL" too right?!?

There is a difference between 'hard' and 'doesn't work'.

Right now, the way health bars work, i.e. the one and only health bar on a target-locked (or moused over while not using any skill) clashes with other designed UI functions and skill mechanics.
Namely, LMP/GMP spread.

And why the fuck is my post in italics, wadafec?

Face-palm on hp bar.
- but this would benefit whoever land the last blow on the target.
hope GGG got a fixed to that.


Hope there is an option to turn the HP bar off.

HP Bars! Wonderfull :)

Just add Floating Damage Text already... it helps craft a nice build and see where your damage is going and what your damage output actually is.
I read in the forums GGG devs think about implementing it. Do it!

Nooooooo....that will absolutely destroy it... floating numbers!wtf! instead of focusing in battle you will focusing in seeing numbers and clap your hands cause you do 5k damage on screen? ...

correct. furthermore, in this game, you r killing too fast for it to be viable.

Well Diablo 3 has floating combat text.

And it's the only thing you will focus on while playing.

So many people dont understand the difference between artificial difficulty and genuine difficulty.

As long as floating stuff and life bars are optional and can be disabled in game ui then there's absolutely no problemo.
For sure I'll disable them as I really hate screen clutter.

WOOT finaly hp bars

now we need floating damage numbers :)

I love that health bar~

I personally do not like health bars and do not need them but as long as they are optional, all is fine. It seems that many ppl are used to play with this feature.

Optional healthbars are cool. For poeple who use it. But floating damage nunbers are a horrible idea. If they implemented a huge amount of players will use it and the players who don't will be punished by other players especially in public parties. "Lol noob use floating damage!" Even if they optional like the healthbars. You will seperate the whole community with this option.

A big part of the difficulty of POE is the fact that you don't have directly damage numbers. Please let it be like it is. Don't make this game casual.
