Health bars

[Brego]

Hello!

I was playing a bit as medic today and just thought it would be nice to be able to see other people's health bars, as that would make it easier to know when you need to heal and not..

So, I've no idea if this is even possible to do within the game, but would it be possible to ex add a small health bar next to people's names on the scoreboard?

This isn't really something that is highly needed, but would be a nice feature imo

Ps: Search function is disabled, so I'm sorry if this already has been suggested and declined

When playing medic its fairly easy to know when someone gets hit (from the sound the character makes or when they flinch from the hit)
and most people will type H when they need a heal if they don't then tell them you are the medic and for them to type h when they need a heal.
I would also like to say I like this idea but as you said it isn't needed.

Well, atleast I always play with music and the warband sound very low, so I don't hear those sounds

And yeah, most people write h, but if you are ex using the surgeon's kit it's kind of wasted on just one guy.. (doesn't that one just have one use? Im new in the medical department )

Yes it has one use , and most people use more than one med box when playing medic so they can spam more

I know that in some Native competition recordings, the recorder had some mod which showed the health bar of every player. Unfortunately, I don't know if it works only as spec or also player.. :p

Edit : For instance : http://www.twitch.tv/warband_battlestream/c/2479693 especially above head's players.

I kind of like the lack of health bars, it separates the good medics from the lazy ones that want to just semi-afk.

If there is no ammo refill, and the medic is standing in a protected position where he can see every player whilst holding 12+ kits, this is where the good medic will shine. Especially now with no regular crush-through bots, medics job just got much easier.

Hmm i would like that as an on\off switchable option.

Go by feel, you'll learn it over time.

You see 4 people get slashed twice, you know it's time to drop that kit you've been saving.

The high end medic options give you quite a few more medkit charges to play around with. Makes healing a lot easier.

Health bars aren't necessary in my opinion.
