You can already see your own life numbers, this is more about showing an opponents life.

I think the UI and a lot of other options in the game should be customizable. Everyone has a different play-style and you would be welcoming a wider range of players by allowing them to tailor their UI to their liking, instead of getting frustrated and quitting.

Nothing wrong with options... having a LACK OF OPTIONS on the other hand... well that is where it becomes like EVERY OTHER MMO... BLAND. The game NEEDS to flow freely, not clustered by a (selfish) view of how everyone "should" be happy, freedom is happiness and more people will at least try your game if you present them with options. I love virtual brutality so save it for the Mobs...	Posted by cybrim#1062 on Jul 24, 2011, 2:09:55 AM Quote this Post

This game isnt a MMO though o-o its an Online Action RPG o: Yeah, more options will be better :3 "...You know the difference between arrogance and confidence?

http://www.pathofexile.com/gallery/#/preview/i87 to me this looks good enough but do the monsters have levels? ACE Member.	Posted by oORyanOo#2624 on Jul 26, 2011, 3:51:19 PM Quote this Post
I prefer numbers shown, but i think option is good compromise. Its good that gaming experience is adjustable by gamers needs. Gyntti2 @ d2jsp.org	Posted by Gyntti#5916 on Jul 27, 2011, 8:22:36 AM Quote this Post
i think health numbers should be optional. what i would like to see: you can only see the total health amount after actually hitting an opponent. this way i can see whats happening with my dmg output when i fight bosses, but i can still get suprised by running into some new opponents while i am low on health.

Optional, as most have said thus far, because we don't need to know exactly how many points lvl 1 mobs have left. But it might be useful for comparing skills/builds.	Posted by Emarii#1313 on Jul 29, 2011, 2:40:58 AM Quote this Post
its more exciting for me to guess the health rather than seeing the actual numerical value call me old school but this more interesting to play	Posted by elhomerjas#4385 on Jul 29, 2011, 4:28:36 AM Quote this Post
