Timing of the 0.11.0 Patch and its New Leagues

Is this just going to be an on/off option or will you be able to have allies only/enemies only choices as well?

I was staunchly against mini life bars for the usual reasons: lack of visceral play, clutter, 'cliched' ARPG element...

But as usual I'm won over by the way GGG have gone about it. I know some devs weren't the biggest fans of the idea but I'm glad they've given over in this case. I expect the feature to be tinkered with/refined over time but as a rudimentary feature it's pretty much what you'd expect.

What this change represents to me, first and foremost, is not having to flick my attention up and down between the action and the main enemy life bar at the top of the screen.

Folks may be surprised what a difference something that seemingly unimportant can make.

Could you just make a post for the features that might not make it in? You could say that they didn't make the cut, and then just add them in if they actually do get finished in time.

But then what are they going to post as teasers each day for the next week?!

Chris said in the very first post: this optional feature.

Hype 101. You get it. :)

I love to be teased; I hate to be spoiled.

Optional just implies that I can turn it off though. I'm wondering if there will be a box with Show Health Bars or one with Show Ally Health and a second with Show Enemy Health or something to that effect.

Wow great!!! About time!!!

Lifebars: probably nice, we'll see how it is in the 'real life of an exile' ;)

but: I'm curious about the impact on graphical performance for this option...

and, like others said before: this less (non-existent) transparency like in the teaser screen looks a bit weird and view-disturbing; comparable with blue (and rarer) drops that irritate the visibility of things like enemies while fighting...

I am so excited for the melee buffs. Build diversity is somewhat lacking at the moment now that LA and wanders have fallen out of grace.

Maybe they could make a slider for transparency so everyone can have it as they like?
