If your hunts are typically longer, not knowing whether the monster is close to death or still kickin' can be quite exciting. Honestly, not every player enjoys hunting the same way so having a HP bar might mean nothing to them.

On the other hand if you're already familiar with the monster, especially if you're a veteran that's played waaay too much MH, you can get a good feel of when a monsters done. So having a HP bar or not doesn't really mean much, and having it just allows you learn a bit more about the monsters behavior at different HP levels etc.

In all honesty, if you're looking for unpredictability, refer to the older games. MHWorld, in comparison, provides A LOT of feedback about the state of the monster. In older games, especially waaay back in 2nd Gen, signs of weakness weren't that obvious. Elder Dragons didn't limp(or sleep), some monsters would simply change their behavior which is often subtle(Diablos would go into rage mode progressively easier as it's health gets lower), and sometimes they wouldn't even show any signs.

Back to OP, just get the mod. If it doesn't significantly and quite blatantly give you a gross advantage in gameplay, chances are you won't get banned. Furthermore, if a portion of the playerbase had monster HP bars, I think it would have a negligible effect on the experience of the rest of the playerbase, and Capcom has no reason or incentive to ban you for something so trivial.

Whether it changes core gameplay is up to you. If it helps you enjoy the game better and it doesn't affect other players then it isn't wrong. It's your experience with this game that you are handling so don't be influenced by other opinions too much.

But you just asked about banning so I assume you already got over that :/.

Nope, but why not ask yourself the question, why would I ruin a core aspect of monster hunter games?

Yeah, incredible core aspect of the game where you just hit the thing until you see the skull, 10/10.

Uh, not quite as basic as that lol

The core aspect is the immersion of not knowing a monsters HP, you're hunting something that is supposed to have it's own life and behaviours. It isn't supposed to be a walking HP bar, and a lot of the systems in place hinge around not being able to see such a thing (e.g. Captures)

Yes and that's the thing in MH, you just hunt the thing, care not for little details like hp bar. You're first class hunter after all not a third rate one :lunar2019piginablanket:

You have never played an MH game then.

It has been core since the very first installment.

wrong,,,

"You can use any mods you like for the game, but it is at your own risk. If the mod only improves the graphics of the game and gives you no game play advantage, normally you should not be banned"

That was a official response you can see it here https://imgur.com/a/u17XLlD
You do it at your own risk but it does break TOS they could revoke your game license at any time for it. I did hear a rumours also they asked one mod developer to stop making updates for one mod trainer on nexus mods that was removed also randomly.

So take it as you will with a pinch of salt

The ONLY real bans i know, happened in MHtri with 9999 years for cheating
But yeah use mods at your own risk

But up to this day, no one was banned in mhw,
altough some people use cheats / cheatmods like a boss

No. Also, why would you even need it? Not knowing the monster's HP is a core feature of the game. If you did, then you'd be able to very easily predict things like flinches, or know ahead of time that you can throw a trap and prepare for capture. It takes away from the skill ceiling, because you no longer need to judge all those things by experience.

Don't listen to your friends, they sound like casuals.

Don't --- Ever --- Post --- DPS

The cheat you'd be using is way more of a pair of training wheels than simply seeing the monsters health. You're able to see things you shouldn't, such as break percentages and status thresholds. However, the most toxic thing this cheat offers is the option to post DPS. Posting DPS and health % is just an admittance of how pathetic a player you are and if you aren't wearing a generic cookie-cutter BS meta build and pulling your weight then chances are anyone who reads your tripe will feel like they are carrying your "MHW is my first MH" nooby ass.

Yeah man, I never played MHFU, MHTri, MH3Prd,MH4U and MHW, never played those games.

In older games? I understand that it was an important mechanic, more of an immersion one than a ''core'' mechanic, because it seems you don't fully understand what a ''core mechanic'' means :).

But in World? Hell no, you literally just hit the thing and you see the skull floaiting in the minimap, even if he isn't limping.

So, talk for yourself instead of jumping into assumptions.

In world, it's as simple as that, you hit him, you flinch him, you do the big DPS numbers and you see the skull, job's done.

Sorry for taking away your immersion, you're free to ignore the minimap and enjoy the immersion the game offers, but the OP asked a very simple question and you guys jumped into him with open jaws as if he killed a puppy.

Answer what he asked, don't be a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, mr ''veterans''.

You can't get banned for using a healthbar mod, but a large chunk of the community will hate you for it if they find out you're using it, and block/exclude you from their hunts and quite possibly also start flaming you.

you wont get banned but it's up to you if you want to continuously use it. The mod takes away the fun but it also gives you info on the game's mechanics (e.g. how much HP increases when players join your hunt, AT monster HP regen, as well as countdown timers for items, buffs) where a total newbie won't realize at first.

Smart hunter it quite nice for training, training wheels are fitting term for it

Or for very casual hunting
