New dynamic healthbar

Last update we introduced an alternative healthbar which replaced the lengthly healthbar in the endgame with a numeric alternative to display your current health points. We received a lot of feedback regarding the alternative healthbar, and heard your voices about the need of a visual representation about how much of your health is acutally missing without having to do the math to keep the focus on the important stuff. So we worked on an improved healthbar concept that combines all the positives from the legacy and the alternative healthbar and removes all the negatives of each individual healthbar design. So how does the new healthbar look?
But wait isn't this just looking like the legacy healthbar? Exactly for low max health points the healthbar is looking like the legacy healthbar. We especially wanted to keep the legacy design for now as it matches the collectible hearts perfectly and makes the health concept easy to understand for new players. Once you increase your max health pool the healthbar will at first extent in length but then decrease the heart sizes up to a point where individual hearts are still clearly visible.
If you further build up your max health pool the hearts will gradually fade into a bar-type health bar with the additional numeric information about how your current health versus your max health points.
There is technically no limit for the new healthbar concept. Even going way beyond 100 health will yield a readable bar-type healthbar with additional numeric information.
We hope this new health bar concept will meet your requirements on your journeys into the deepest corners of darkness. Let us know your thoughts and experience using the new healthbar!
