Large health bars will be opt in. The default will still be what it is now.

That's clever!!

As it stands, the player character name and their yard-long titles are five times the height of the health bar. When I'm healing, I couldn't careless about the name of the person I'm healing, but the point of floating health bars (to me) is an easier way to determine

where

the person that needs my support. This is especially true for Fractals with Fractal Vindicators, where the simple act of getting Downed is hazardous to the entire party. It doesn't help me any to have to squint to look at the tiny green slivers amidst all the other visual effects from player character and enemy skills, with Amala being one of the worst offenders.

That is why there is a "Thick Health Bars" option coming with episode 2 :)

Is this a Fractals only mechanic.. (health bars that is)? .. because this would be a fantastic QoL for WvW!

The options I am adding will allow you to add thick health bars to allied party and squad members in any game mode, including WvW.

While in a squad is it only for the sub group, or every single person?

We haven't seen the "thick health bars" yet but miracles do happen sometimes, it seems. Thank you, Benjamin.
