What genius gave enemies the same HP bar color as team members?!

When enemies have a damage shield, their HP bar is blue too.
Yes it's a very tiny bit darker but with all the other colors flying across the screen is is practically indistinguishable.

Plus your own team with damage shield will have the exact same blue.



Even someone who has never even played a video game in their life would notice the problem with this after a little bit of testing.
How does ZOS make such noob mistakes? How are people there getting paid when even the cleaning lady could have done a better job?

hp bars are hp bars buddy, shields are blue and hp is red, that's not how you distinguish between foe & friend

While true, a lot of games do make some kind of clear distinction.
I think OP is just being inflammatory though tbf.

HP bars used to be enough to distinguish between friend and enemy, now you have to turn on names.
Completely unnecessary ♥♥♥♥♥♥ if they just made the shielded bars yellow or purple or green or orange or brown or black or while or yellow or pink or....

The problem with turning on names for team members is that it's just not enough when fights turn into blobs, so you have to turn on names for enemies too but that makes PVE look really fugly.
So now I have to keep turning enemy names on and off depending on the content I play because ZOS are too stupid to realize that blue is the same color as blue? ♥♥♥♥ off with those excuses for embarrassingly bad design...

Colors of the Hp bars can be changed in the options. Should help a bit
