Enemies Health Bar display

Something I read from battle.net forums.

I've first provide a link and a quote, then some thoughts.

Floating Healthbars are Distracting

What Blizzard said,
"I think we essentially agree with you. The floaty 'above creature' health bars raised a few different concerns and they've since been changed. Health bars for uniques and bosses are displayed at the top, and health bars for everything else are displayed at the bottom (both stationary). It works well, it's all out of the way but still accessible if needed and more importantly you can keep an eye on boss/unique health as well as any lesser minions you happen to be fighting."

I like the idea. But I don't recall D2 having floating health bar.. did it?
Lots of MMO I played have the health bar at the top, with their names. Diablo 3 might be different though because in general I don't really care about normal mobs' health.

Having the health display stationary at the bottom might be a good idea..

So now I'm just waiting for a screenshot like everyone else in that thread.

On an unrelated note, the Diablo 3 Overthrown Limited Edition are all sold out in 4 days. But if you want the normal edition, it is still available for only $299.99.

A collectible? Sorry never got into any videogame that much, ever.

The floating healthbar is good, institute it just like every other game.

I was once compaired to a spider due to health bars.

I dunno if it would be considered a "floating" health bar, but there was a health bar at the top of the screen for whatever monster you were hovering over. It was right behind their name.

Yeah, I remember that..
I think they're talking about a health bar right above/below the monster though, like some other MMORPG.

Oh nevermind, I found it:

The floating health bar is what they have been doing in the demo, and people don't quite like it so they said they're changing it to bottom stationary for normal mob, and top stationary for boss.
