Adding Health Bars to Bosses/Any PVE

If this were any other game than SoT id agree with you, but in this case I do not. I don't a health bar should be on any enemy in the game and ill explain why.

In most games that have those health bars on PVE, there is no real threat of pvp unless they opt into a PVP mode. This is not the case for SoT. When your doing that fort boss or FoTD etc, there is a chance that there is a crew waiting to steal that loot from you. Being able to see that health bar would make stealing loot a lot easier, and while I love the PVP in this game I think that the hard decision of when to attack that ship at the fort, or when to show yourself and start attacking other crews is fun because the timing has to be somewhat precise to stand a chance of making away with their loot on time.

Health bars would prevent any crew from having to chance a kraken if a fort ends because the would leave one person on the island and they would let their crew know when the boss is almost done.

While I understanding some bosses in this game are annoying, not knowing their health makes for more intensity. Oh no are these last 10 cannonballs going to be enough to kill this meg? Not knowing is part of the fun id say.

While I understand the desire for a health bar, I genuinely believe it would take away a lot of the fun and uncertainty this game offers.

The only way I could see this working if it was for tall tale bosses only.

just my 2 cents.

The developer's want seamless gameplay with as little HUD as possible. They do try and give visual prompts when fighting i.e banana eating etc but hopefully they'll do more in the future!
