Can we please get health bars above monsters?
I'm sick of having to hover over monsters to see their health. Why this game is so strict about having toggleable health bars on monsters?

Diablo, Wolcen, Path of Exile, they all have it. Even crappy 10MB hack and slash android games have it.

Seriously, what is the point of not adding it? Just add it, keep it off by default, but people who prefer having monster health bars may enable them and enjoy the game.

Grim Dawn is an amazing game but having no health bars feel so outdated and kill the enjoyability.

Could devs do something about it?

Hi, I'm not Dev but i think i see in some reviews and pictures the bar of the health. But in my personal opinion that bars may be a headache when you got a 50 70 mobs over you.

May you need make more damage and some aoe to avoid concern in that bars?

It will be toggleable. Health bars are never a problem for me. If someone doesn't like it, they can toggle it off. %99 of the games has that feature.

under options there is something that is called show enemy level but it also allows for showing health bar when targeting. maybe check options more?

It reads "Show enemy levels along with health and energy while targetting" the OP wants health bars that are always on and visible not what we have now where you have to hover (target) over an enemy.

there is also classic targeting in the options which allow for locked targeting so you will always see the health bar of your interest. granted its not 70 health bars on top of a mob of 70 but those die so quick that would be overkill. the only thing thats really needed is always being able to see the boss hp and this is accessible now.

You don't sound any logical at all. I don't care if you guys think 70 health bars on screen becomes overkill. Loads of games does it just fine. How do you even know if I kill everything that quick?

You come up with your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ excuses. I ask for a TOGGLE BUTTON on options so if you don't want to see health bars, you can toggle it off.

DMO, Marvel Heroes, Endless Knight, D3, Path of Exile, Wolcen, god knows how many more games does it just fine. It is just hypocrital that you guys play an ARPG games without health bars.

Nobody cares about your opinions so please keep your nonsense opinions to yourself. I'm sick of having to argue with ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ teenagers especially when their responses are completely unrelated to the point of thread.

lol @ how angry you are. Damn, I feel sorry for you. I can definitely see why no one is going to help you.

I'm always down for more options, if the Dev's could figure it out. Maybe they could squeeze it into the expansion?

I don't get angry when I respond to people whom doesn't even read the topic. One of them tells me to check the UI but he doesn't even understand what "health bars above monsters" means. Another one tells me that it would stutter the screen although I said it would be a toggleable feature for people who prefer. The same guy also says "we kill monsters on 1 hit anyway so there is no need for a health bar" which is just an assumption because I can definitely not one hit anything yet. Again, the same guy thinks health bars on 70 monsters would be overkill but there are loads of ARPG games which is way more monster density than Grim Dawn and they handle it just fine.

Seriously, I know being a teenager is hard, but you should at least read the topic before commenting if you don't want to be treated like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

I have a copy of this game and I am giving a constructive feedback/making a suggestion. This is my right. Who the hell are to tell me that my idea which would improve my gameplay as not needed?

Help me about what? My topic is pointed towards game developers. I don't think some random Grim Dawn player may implement a GUI feature.

Feel free to comment, but at least read the content and stop making assumptions.

I could happily buy a DLC just for this specific feature. I just can't stand playing ARPG games when I can't see enemy health bars. It makes the gameplay so dull.

Well, actually, that might be posible with the modding tools. I have no experiance with the tools myself but, it could be possible.

I do and it isn't possible unless they added some major modding features on recent patches.

the only teenager i see here is the one being completely outraged...all ive done is try and show you what you can utilize and why its probably never going to come to as this is the only thing thats neccessary and is completly toggleable now.

You surely act odd for a non-teenager.

You do know getting angry and salty over something as meaningless as this is pathetic right? You sound like a teenager with all this cussing here and there like a complete ''badass''.

Just checked your Steam profile.

"Norwegian/Spanish 22 year old guy, that spend most of my time rotting in front of a screen playing games,watching series and so forth. I'm rather open about myself, though gaining my trust is a must and will take time. Most people say that i'm rather rude, mean and all that, but honesty comes with a price like that. I don't sugarcoat what i say, i see little reason for doing so."

Yay, a 22 years old teenager whom rots in front of his monitor and publicly calls himself as rude, tells me to not be rude. Damn, you guys are making me laugh.

Could you please leave the thread if you have nothing positive to say? I don't feel like having a flashback to early 2000's when forum dramas were a common thing.

I don't really understand why you guys act so weird for a basic gameplay suggestion. There are hundreds of suggestions about this issue (You can simply google Grim Dawn health bar) and I'm making yet another one just to get some attention from developers. I know there are many ARPG players out there who would enjoy such as a small change like this.

If you respond to user's suggestions like "meh it is not even needed I 1 hit everything LOL" then you should be ready to be treated badly.

Please, if you have something valuable to say, say it. If you're here to argue with me, I'm sorry but I'm not in mood to argue with someone who is pretty young and wastes his life watching cartoons.
