Poll: Monster life number display

A nice toggle feature for this would be great!

I would like to be able to chose between percents and numbers.

I could see the use of having maybe a % value display on a boss health bar or more meaningful mobs that a player might be engaged with for a period of time that exceeds that of your average trash mob. But I have to agree with the people voting "only if enabled through options" on anything else though. Trash mobs don't live long enough to validate having to see their actual health values in numbers from what I've seen in videos ,even during Chaos.

I say it should be shown by bosses, named mobs, and any enemy that is much higher level for you to usually fight, like say 10 levels higher. Reason for the last one is that sometimes I get a gratifying feeling for a killing a much harder mob than I'm supposed to, and seeing the numbers help me figure out the possibility of it.

On a counterpoint off topic, slight enemy health generation for people who tried to powerlevel in these ways. For example, bugging an enemy 30 levels higher than you in a door, and attacking him for 5 minutes to gain 5 levels could ruin gameplay.

Either all or none don't waste time coding which mobs will have them displayed and which ones won't, its silly to do so. I'd rather you code more content then waste time on trivialities.

i dont think we need these numbers for every trash mob around.

it might be intresting on the big act bosses and alike, but its nothing i consider very much needed for myself.

I agree 1000%! I don't think it's possible given the mob density during most fights to gain any benefits from monster health as they';re all cluttered up together. I do however think bosses health could be displayed but not numerically some kind of health bar without numbers, in my opinion would add to the tension and excitement of killing a boss. Watching their health go down might even create more tension especially during ones first encounter with the boss.

Everyone has different play styles.

I personally think I would like to have numbers in the bars, however I can respect that others might want just color/ bars.

I think your best bet is to enable the option XD.

One or the other? Why not have both!

Displaying exact monster life and life bar makes game easier. It should be optional on normal\easy game mode and not available on hard game level. I would consider not displaying life bar of mosters (especially bosses) at all at very hard game difficulty.

I feel like you wont really have too much time to check what their hp is when your fighting a large mob, it may be useful when fighting bosses though to gauge how prepared you are for one, so allowing you to enable it in the options would e best imo

should be a option
