42 - Color squares based on how fast damage accrues
There's a big difference in prioritization for the player that is at 50% and has been there for a while taking minimal but constant damage and the player that drops to 50% in two hits. The former I can HoT at leisure and know he'll survive; the latter I need to bubble and pull out the stops or they're a goner for sure.
Would it be possible to add a third colorization scheme based on how fast damage accrues? So hits that are 10% or less stay green, hits that cause a 11-20% health change are yellow and 21%+ turn the square red. Instant knowledge of your highest priorities. Especially if it could work in conjunction with % damaged so that red is 25% health or taking massive incoming.
Thank you!

Aiiane Fri, 03 Oct 2008 03:45:22This would be a neat option. I'll look into seeing if it's possible to implement (but it gets a little interesting due to the need for both a good algorithm to determine the derivative of damage taken, as well as a need to store damage history).
