Another patch is out. Not sure if it fixes the TH issues. Does not look like it.

The one thing that bugs me at the moment is it's REALLY hard to tell what health everyone in my team is on. (And i'm the only mage so typically i have to heal them)

It would be difficult only if you didn't pause the game.

Playing on a harder difficulty, that would be rather stupid lol, also long as you have them use a potion when they're below 50-25% hp, you won't need to worry.

Not like it costs much to make Lesser Healing Potions. 2 soverigns is usually enough to make 99 of them.

Yeah i do pause. But i still think it's hilarious that the health bar seems to have some black-ish shadow applied across it so between about 20% and 80% it looks the same.

Don't suppose you have a screenshot? I've never had trouble telling percentage of health before and I can't think of what you're describing.

Oooo i've got a tip. Don't set your combat tactics to use fireball on nearest visible enemy when you click off your main mage char and muck around with another character as otherwise it only ends with endless bodies falling over. Hilarious stuff.

I'm with infernus, I have no issues seeing what my characters HP is at all times.

I can't make out the character portrait health-bar half of the time, certainly not while fighting. The overlay when pressing Tab is clear, but sometimes the game decides that my main character shouldn't get a bar there at all.

I've had some problems with the difficulty scaling. Don't want to run at easy but don't want to micromanage critter-fights either. Basically if you level up faster than you're getting good equipment you're in for a hard time. Seems they have found some fight balancing bugs to squash though.

Don't know what issues you guys with the hard-to-read health bars are having but the bar is always crystal clear here, and if I ever need to examine them closely for a bit I can just pause the combat.

I just turned my game up to nightmare difficulty because my Arcane Warrior is tearing through everything.
