No, I'm sorry but it's easy math to figure out roughly how much HP your target has left, and overall not very important unless you're running or targeting weak players, just suck it up and deal with it, we are trying to protect the weak players

The reason STS didn't implement this is described above, but what about making it as in PVE? Let the health bars be hided until you attack your target. Enemy health bar would make it much more easier to strategic use the right abilities against that target and also gives a bit more thinking into PVP. Would be nice if STS could discuss this question again after almost two years!

Man this si a 3 years old post!!

Please DO NOT NECRO old polls..

True, but if you burst some damage there is a big delay of the damage showing up, so sometimes you can't see if you critted or not before 5 seconds or so...

if they didn't do it in 3 years, I don't think they will do so now

Moreover, adding it would ruin strategies. So it will never come out

Cya!

So when does this Poll end?

Necroing old non-constructive threads is a different topic, but this topic is even valid today so the necro-er did a good job IMO.

Plox.

So that that random group of people won't ask ' hp? ' everytime after a fight.

Tyvm.

Maybe also integrate so the level are visible so people don't need to ask what level you are before every fight?

I am very strongly against showing your targets' health bars in Arena combat. As a result I have convinced the rest of the team here at Spacetime to hold on making any changes to the system for now

My reasoning is: you can target from any distance in the arena and once you can see health bars you will (wisely) attack only the weakest character on the opposing team. This will expedite your team victories but in many multiple games this will get very boring... and will motivate anyone with less than 100% health to quit the instance to preserve their Kills / Deaths ratio (which will become much more meaningful in the future as we develop leaderboards, etc.).

Pocket Legends PvP is way more fun with this thin shroud of mystery.

So - this issue may certainly come up again (as do all issues relevant to PvP) over time - but for now, there will be no enemy health-bars in PvP Arenas.

Thanks,

- Cinco

For the record I also voted no per the reasons you stated.
I think some are voting yes from strictly a 1/1 standpoint, and I don't believe 1/1 go style wasn't the way the game was supposed to be played.

A compromise to suggest is to allow the dead to briefly see enemy HP. Before respawning of course.

**ZEAWESOMEBEAR** · 01-12-2013, 03:35 PM

definitely yeah yeah !

**Bunnyshoota** · 01-12-2013, 09:24 PM

No. Then I can't validly say "good fight, full"

Totally agree with that! But I think it would be better, instead of seeing the enemy's HP, to just have colors to indicate if the enemy's health was low or not, that way, it would still have a "thin shroud of mystery." EX: Green=75-100% Health left, Yellow=40-75% health left, and Red as 40% health left or below.

For some specific reasons I disagree. Not showing the health bar i'm able to get in and out of combat. If they know my health is low obviously they're going to stay close and shut me down. I believe there not being a health bar makes the game's pvp more stratigically involved. On the positive side I would also know my opponents health and be able to stay in and shut them down. Has the thought of also showing mana come up? I havn't read the whole thread.
