Life and Mana Globes TOO BIG!

I am serious.
If this is made because of people that have trouble with eyesight, globes are the least of their problems in this game.

Those things take toooo much space on 16:9 screens, hell, even on 16:10 it is too much, there is no need for that size!

Really, can someone tell me why is that size needed?! We loose like a lot of vertical vision and mobility.

You could make those globes 50% smaller and they would still be too big but...manageable.

I have never ever said anything about these things because I thought devs would see that themselves but after the big patch this is still an issue (for me at least) that needs attention, like I said - there is no need for a football on each side of my screen! :D

cheers.

Will, do.

A question for you tho, have you ever played ARPG other than poe? Maybe Diablo? Torchlight? Titan quest? No game has this big health/mana indicators. If you for instance want to jump (lepa slam) to bottom right corner (or left) what do you do in Path of exile? You drag the mouse there and jump but you have no idea whats there.

Screenshot coming up in a minute or two. PoE takes forever to load.

edit: well I cant, print screen wont capture it.

this one is not mine but it's 1920x1080 so they illustrate what I am talking about.

and here is what is, in mind mind, a good UI design and uses screen very well:

They don't seem that large to me...

The orbs in PoE are placed at the edges of the screen.
The examples you have given show orbs placed in the center of the screen where a larger size would impact gameplay exponentially more, hence the smaller size.

I don't think its that the orbs are too big for your screen, I think its that you're just not accustomed to them yet. You're use to seeing the smaller orbs center-ish screen in those other games.
Hi
