It would be nice if we had a small banan counter below our health bar. It only need to show when we take damage.

Why not just remember how many you have? Why does the game have to do it for you
@binaryplayerone said in Show a banana counter when health bar shows:
@rattlyfob Same reason why we get an gui for how many bullets we have left. In battle it can get hectic and you can lose track on how many bullets or in this case bananas you have left.
The bullet gui is helpful when you can take a fast look down. Same with bananas.
Right but there is no other way to check how many bullets you have. You can check your bannana count.

Good point! But opening up the radial wheel in combat to check how many you have is not especially practical depending on how chaotic the battle is.
Having an gui under your health bar means you can immediately see how many you have left as soon as you take some damage. Which can determine if you should continue a fight or retreat to get more bananas if possible.
Something that can turn the tide (no pun intended..) of a battle.
Though I have no issue with this...
I feel that the reasoning likely has much to do with the very intentionally minimalist UI.
The less they can share on a HUD the more immersion we maintain, people may not agree with that logic. But, it does seem to be the logic favored in the design of the game.
This doesn't mean that the idea is good or bad... But honestly, I have no need for it... I doubt many will care either way. Something of a minor grievance IMO.
Nice showcase of the subjects potential implementation though! And since it is a potentially minor add maybe we will see something like this in the future!

How would you say it's different from switching weapons in terms of impractibility?
Just remove the health bar altogether. Would make the game more interesting. As soon as you're low health you start limping like in Resident Evil and maybe some heavy breathing if you're half health.
I also would remove the bullet counter, this game really does not need any UI elements on the main screen at all and counting to 5 is not that hard.

Or... again, you just get good at counting down from 5 or give tge advantage to those of us who can

If I'm not mistaken you can turn off the entire gui under options. So if you like a completely clean screen from any gui you can.

Would just make the game easier ;)
I think they should just keep it how it is. Clean and nice. Ayee

I agree that less gui on the screen the better. Especially with Sea of Thieves. But I dont see how 5 dots under the health bar is destroying that vision. You say it would make the game easier. I say it would be a quality of life addition :)

Yes and then Player 1 wants that and player 2 that, and player 3, player 4, 5, 6.... ---> Endless
Everyone want something on the screen. Maybe the right question is to ask for editable UI and if that would be okay.
That part I said about it would be easier was a joke x)
But yeah, maybe you should be able to have a custom UI..
Then I guess everyone get what they wants... And its not really a competativ game, so.. :p Ayeee@sanni said in Show a banana counter when health bar shows:

Your prototype looks sleek and would be well-aligned with Rare’s minimalist GUI if it also faded out when at full health.
In my opinion, this would have been a great addition at launch and looks completely natural.

Thanks! Yeah that was my idea that it would just disappear and only show at the same time as the health bar starts to show when you take damage. The dots could be replaced by some smal cute bananas that gets pealed and disappears as you consume one. A twitter user came with the banana peal idea after I posted this on twitter :)
