Health Bars.

Hello,

There seems to be a problem with the Health Display from NPCS/Mobs.

The Healthbar is only shown as percentages. I use standart ui with no significant changes made.

Anyone else with that particular Issue?

I cant quite believe that. On some ****ty server it was different. I could see the actuall HP numbers without any additional Addons. TBH it is important to know how much hp the Mob has. How am i to know if i can engage it alone?

Your belief doesn't changes reality - this is how it worked on Burning Crusade, and numerical hit points have been disabled accordingly.

I feel ya, but as obnoxious said, its a TBC thing, if other servers have it, its technically not a TBC "thing", but I do agree with you, just like dual spec, having numerical values would be a quality of life change that would help a lot.

That doesn't sound right.
First off... I've played about every private TBC server in existance and all had hp display (at least for players).
Second... there is a God Damn option in the Interface/Status Text menu called 'Display Percentages' in the TBC client.. so by default you get numbers.

The staff censors the names of other private servers. To them it counts as "advertising" regardless of context.

As for this topic, many other private servers alter their servers to include health numbers. This server is not one of them and prefers to leave it as it was in The Burning Crusade. If you want you can post it in the suggestiom forums. If there is enough support for it, Warmane may add it as a custom feature.

Going to copy this over from a pm about the topic.

This is what caused the confusion most likely. With that change the support for displaying HP and mana values was added only for your own and party members (both on the side and when you target a party member). It does not include creatures or players of the opposing faction, just the players of your party/you.

As some proof (without having to link videos of the time and too many sources)
http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Patch_...ented_changes)
"Health values appear on targets; mobs, boss, NPC, or player (regardless of group or faction)."

Proper support for displaying hp/mana values for both players and creatures in the game was added only in wrath of the lich king. I hope this cleared up the misunderstanding

Great, a freshly created server with a small issue annoing everyone, but instead of fixing it you decide to play smart-***. Great for the community.

The only thing is that its not an "issue", its how the game was back then. I provided an answer even though it has been answered many times before. If you want numerical values shown you should use MobInfo

You're not the only one who remeber "back then". The most servers from "back then"(even before WOTLK) had this fixed. And more important NOW is not BACK THEN and you can not just deny everything good we've learned.

We're not denying anything. We're stating: this is how it worked on Burning Crusade and we have decided this is how it will work on our servers. The only issue here is on you refusing to accept that.

Keep repeating that to yourself until you're convinced it's true.
