% Health: The most retarded thing

[mirok]

Somebody can you tell me an advantage to have % hp than normal Health Point?
As I know % hp should be an interface option, not a compulsory stuff

According to many sources, this is blizz-like. During TBC I was pretty young and new at the game myself and never even had status bar text turned on, so I couldn't remember. It seems wrong because private servers have functioned this way for... ages. But turns out, it has not been blizz-like at all.

My question is: ''Is this even an advantage?''
Blizzlike made some ''mistakes'' in tbc and this is a private server, so I don't see any point on making that change. Changes are to make the game easier or comfortable, not to decreace it

[Discyo]

I agree with Mirok, this % shit just brought more bugs to sf as well sigh ;/

I don't think changes here are made to make the game easier, that's what Blizzard have done on retail and we all know how that turned out.

Not knowing the enemies exact health actually raises the skill cap imo. You can no longer plan your tactics ahead to the same extent as before by looking at the players health thus giving you an idea if the enemy has got pvp/pve gear etc.

You now have to go in and get a feeling for how much health they have and plan accordingly.

Even more broken shit. Fuck man, seriously. Every time I login something new is borked. Good job guys.

Queues are 30 min long, server population dropped, tbc is becoming more and more outdated,everyone is bored...what we going to do guys?
WOW,WAIT
We can make health display in %, nvm that its retarded, its still blizzlike and every stupid thing blizzard did in 2007-2008 should be presented on our server, those mistakes are saint and untouchable.



Sorry, but thats truth.

On retail you could have guessed their HP by looking at their gear. However, transmogrification completely nullifies this "strategy".
I don't see a reason why it should stay like this.
