Necros in death shroud should have a different colored health bar in the party ui frames.
It can be difficult to notice if a necro team mate/necro off point on streams(as spectator) are low on health or just using shroud..
Should take too much development time or work at all.
please Justin ODelllllll
i believe in you
Believe in Evan. He’s the one’s that might be able to make this happen.
It shall be done. If I can remember when I’m at my desk on Monday. Maybe.
Fluffball, can you think of some iconic way of showing health state in the UI?
The healthbar is pretty tiny, but it miiight be able to fit some text over it like “Downed”, “Defeated”, or “Deathshroud”. Though for other languages it may not fit. That could also make the actual health value hard to see.
Maybe the player name could change to add health state afterwards like:
“Bluxgore (Downed like a scrub.)”
Rather than place the information inside the health bar itself, why not add some sort of frame around the character portrait (or class icon in simple mode)? It would be similar to the way veterans, champions and legendary NPCs have different portrait frames.
With the ‘Simple Party UI’ option turned on, I can’t imagine there being enough room between the text, health, and icon for a visually distinct border (if we’re trying to avoid colors).
We coooould however use the icon that shows up on the map and put it at the end of he healthbar. Skull for defeated, ankh for downed, something(?) for deathshroud.
That sounds good, but might be difficult to see if there are buffs on the player. What if we moved the icon to the left of the health bar?
You know, we don’t have to show level under the profession icon in PvP, we could hijack that screen space.

So if a health bar is 100% white in one case and 40% white in a death shroud case, there is no mistaking it.
But pure color like the wurm pheromones or the WvW map is just not readable for many of us (BTW thanks to whoever upped the contrast on WvW colors several months ago.)
That’s pretty interesting. So how well can you read the shades of green used for the double healthbar while targeting a necro in deathshroud? The deathshroud color is a more desaturated green.
lol at the wvw colors. That partially an accident because wvw and pvp shared team colors. I quite like the newer blue. (maybe because I was the one that updated it)
