I believe that the bosses in the game need their own hp meter, Not just so we can see how much more we have to go on, but also the fact that people are having a hard time killing bosses when they just keep attacking and attacking but they wont go down. So, Boss hp meters, please? Thank you for listening. *Bows*

The fact is, the fact you stated is, in fact, an opinion

Attacking and attacking bosses without them going down won't be affected by the presence of a HP bar. While challenging, I don't think sans bar it's any more "difficult". It might let you sit there dead and not revive because Royal Jelly only has X HP left, but then you're not contributing to the team... and that's awful.

Why is it that everyone

Why is it that everyone assumes the worst in things?

"Contributing to the team."

Bah, the problem I've had with JK runs is that nobody wants to use their energy to revive. If anything, the health bar would actually promote cooperation, just because it serves as a little morale booster: MAYBE if they saw that the JK is ACTUALLY taking some damage, they'll revive on their own.

Overall, face it; nobody wants to use their energy to revive, and it isn't exactly the smartest thing to do anyways when you have teammates that usually either revive you, are worthless, or are able to finish the boss off, thus avoiding wasting energy to get into a fight is either possible, hopeless, or finished up in 5-10 seconds later after reviving with a full meter of health.

As far as difficulty goes...bosses aren't difficult just because you can't see their health. It's moreover just the sight of one making it easier to come up with decisions.

I don't know how coding works in video games, but if it is possible to put a health tracker on the bosses, I'd say go for it. There isn't anything that would break the gameplay just by having a health meter on the bosses.

I agree with Zercantes, it

I agree with Zercantes, it does boost the morale of the players, and makes them more tempted to revive themselves to help.
