For making huge health bars easier to read for both yourself and other teammates
For adding a shield health indicator
For adding monster locations on the minimap
For adding health bars on enemies (you didn't have to put it above them, but whatever, helps the new ones I guess)
For making enemy health bars fade quickly away on distance to prevent clutter
For turning the current weapon icon into a circular selector
For making the heat icon more descriptive
All these ideas were suggested in the suggestion forums and have now come true :3
These new player hp things are going to take up the entire screen.... even more than usual. It does look kinda cheap as well. The monster bars will just clutter and probably lag as well. And getting rid of the weapon icon in favor of something popping over your head... Wow... You'd think a two year old game would actually think about releasing new CONTENT, not endless cosmetics and noob-centered changes to things like this and pets.
The only thing I maybe like about this is the boss health bar, since I tend to lose track of how far Vana is along when in a bad PUG.
