HP bars? YES! (Now only damage numbers are missing. <3)

If I remember correctly, developers said that damage numbers would not be implemented, as they would "denature" the way the game looks.

Other than that, I'm glad HP bars will now be in the game, as it will also make it easier to target monsters and know which are about to die.

Nice work!

health bars already denature the game even if theyre optional cause people will turn them on in streams and potential new players will expect this game to also have ponies unicorns and fighting kiwis.

getting an overview of monster health also takes away alot of suspension and difficulty.

but i would like a health bar in the supporter pack to show other people my current state when i'm at work. would take away the suspension too.

i'm getting more and more the impression you're not building the game you always wanted but what wow and torchlight bubblegum players demand. is the player count really that shrinking?

Torchlight as you so demean it to a "bubblegum" game was made by the guys who made D2 which you play an imitation of called POE. LOL

Torchlight also did a few things right, graphics aside.

The Hardcore gamer gimmick is tired BS, I'm casual I enjoy having options.

EXCELLENT ADDITION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

god i love those hp bars on top of monsters

Forget HP Bars, I want "Extra Gore" to be stack..

Facebreakers+CarnageHaert+BringerofRain isn't viable because of it <_<

There's difficult, and then there's needlessly difficult.

Just like simple doesn't always equal easy or complicated doesn't always equal challenging.

Making me look at the top of the screen and away from the action is needlessly difficult. Mousing over all over the place in a game that is click to move is needlessly difficult.

Withholding information from the player or just making it harder to get that information (in this instance the health of monsters) does not add to the difficulty in a meaningful way.

The difficulty and challenge should come from what players choose to do with that information, not the act of obtaining it. This same argument applies to combat text.

I don't think shooting random targets is more difficult than targeting the lower health targets first (which is what HP bars will help with).

I also can't agree with the fact that it's somehow bad for the game because of what people seeing the game for the first time might think ill of it. If there are people that will really react the way you seem to think, then I don't want them here anyway. Anyone who jumps to conclusions because a feature they see here might have been used in other games is just acting stupid.

Nice, that's one I'll probably get.
