With the new patch for PS5 the health bars are way too large. It can cover the army and make it harder to see units. I would like to see an option to revert it back to the original size. I don’t know if it’s the same for Xbox but I would assume so from the patch notes phrasing. The would probably like the option to make it smaller as well.

100% on the same page as you. This setting/update towards health bars needs to be reverted back. Exactly like pc’s version. As you said, im sure xbox players will be thankful aswell

Totally agree. For me it ruined the game with these huge life bars. As it was, it was great. If you have an army selected you only see blue bars. I can’t play aom retold with these bars.

I can’t see anything anymore, if you have an enemy army and a defending army + workers you literally can’t tell what’s going on there.

Agreed. What’s the point of those enormous health bars? I miss playing the game…

Thank you devs for listening and implementing a patch for the health bars. I do appreciate seeing that y’all are listening to feedback. Having said that the health bars are still too large. It is an improvement over before but I still prefer smaller health bars. They make the combat kinda lame because they are so obtrusive. When you are zoomed in they look fine but zoomed out it’s still just a bunch of bars covering your cool army up. I understand that you can turn them off but then you lose out on vital info.
In summary I am once again asking for the health bars to be reduced in size or an option to reduce the size. I understand if that takes a bit to fix but hopefully it gets done so I can go back to watching my dudes slaughter people not just their health bars wiggling around.

I also find it strange that in the patch notes it states that health bars no longer scale with zoom. However that doesn’t seem to be the case. I’m still able to change the size by zooming in and out.

They barely changed them. It’s still a mess just revert them to how they were before. Why does it take so long to “fix” something that was already there and was artificially removed.

It’s as it’s been said here. The supposed change has no effect, since when zoomed out the unit health bars remain huge, they only get smaller when we zoom in.
But since we play most of the time zoomed out (at least that’s how it is for me), the bars continue to be very large, and it becomes frustrating. I honestly can’t play like that, it causes me enormous visual discomfort. In fact, since the update that made the bars huge, I don’t play with aom retold.

Yeah, I’m still not playing the game, unfortunately. It may seem like we are complaining about a minor issue, but it makes all the difference on the gameplay. I don’t know what tests you devs make, but by popular opinion, from us who play (or used to play) the game daily on consoles, the small health bars were working really fine, so please, believe us! We had no problem at all to see them as small as they were, but now we do have problems to see what is going on in a match. Can you guys please reduce the scale of the health bars?
