I really hope they allow us to see energy

I really hope this gets added in this game.

Been over a year and we are still unable to view the energy levels of our allies and team mates... its really annoying.

Sure you can ping and stuff, but why your unable to see each other health but not energy I don't know.

Really hope its being implemented this time round

i was thinking about this the other day, maybe it will happen.

The GUI's cluttered enough as it is... And that's after I've stripped everything extraneous out of it!

Not keen on the idea, in other words.

RTSFirebat, I definitely agree with you. Though I doubt that it would stop tanks from running ahead. Even in WoW where everyone could see the energie (or mana) bar of the healers tanks often do not care. I guess it has to do with adrenaline. Warriors do not want to loose their adrenaline and therefore run as quickly as possible for the next bunch of monsters

\agreed although you can ping it, how many people look at the chat in the heat of battle.. it would be nice to have a visual referance

You wouldn't need to clutter the bar, just add a slim blue line under the red life bar, just a couple pixels tall, that would be enough to give an idea of how much energy the given player has...

Isn't the health bar (wasn't it red for foes and green for allies?) only visible for allies near you? The health bar in the party window is always visible however.

i think yes, add it so you can see it but of course...make it toggleable. (sp)

Yup, choice is always a good thing

an idea of how the energy bar should look like:




a small blue line under the health like mentioned before.

Exactly what I had in mind, Salemo.

mmm maybe a little thicker.

i do hope to see htis, good addition to see whos being completely shutdown

id prefer it if the blue line took up a little more of the red bar.

every other MMO-party-based whatever has a blue-line indicator of mana for party members...

I also would like to see the same blue bar just under the health bar when you target an ally as well

it's subtle, but helpful:

Should also take this one step further and have it for foes as well, be nice to know that the target has energy to take using e-drain or how low it is after you e surge them

ITs long overdue.

People don't even pay attention to their own red bars half the time...do you really think they will pay attention to energy? When you try to alert them you are low on energy, they usually ping theirs back to you, then rush in anyway.

well people supplying energy would pay attention, it just would be helpful for those who want it and could be able to be turned off for those who don't like it.

Right, because it will of course only be implemented in PvE. And even if they did implement it in PvP, it wouldn't be useful at all.
Just because a few jerks won't use it in PvE doesn't mean a lot of people can't put use to it in PvP.

the bar could be thicker say half and half... the health bar doesnt need to be that big and i believe the only reason the health bar is that thick to begin with is because of our names being in them...

also the blue needs to be much softer on the eyes...

yea a warrior may not be watching everyone elses health bar but the healers sure do... just as a healer would love the idea of being able to tell when the other healer is low on energy so he/she can pick up the slack...

batteries would also find interest in energy bars...

you sir have stated "your" opinion... not the majorities nor is it fact...

Not to mention from the game description on gamestop for nightfall with custamizable and controlable henchies being able to see their energy is a major plus... heck for that mater even having the engergy bars viewable on henchies now would be extremely advantageous
