When in a group i cannot monitor the health of the first person in my group because he is covered by the chat screen. This is a major issue for healing and it needs to be fixed

Agreed this is quite annoying, especially in boss fights.

Agreed this need to be addressed.

Perhaps the chat screen could reduce width when a group is formed?

Just one suggestion...

Agreed, this sucks during group.

Perhaps this suggestion-
If you superimpose the character names over the health bar, using an optimal color combination, you should retain the same visibility yet be able to condense the character names in the group enough to fit below the current chatbox position.

Since you brought it up ManCandy,

The HUD change could be a little better in many ways for the group list.

1. Character names already exceed the health bar length in many cases (more player fault than HUD)
2. You can see health, but what about energy (for mages to monitor when to cast energy boost)
3. Need to keep a vertical limit on minimum size for the players that have to pick from this list (we don't all have iPads and personally I'm ALL THUMBS, lol)
4. Then (to be fair) there are those that are color challenged (green is a very bright version of grey for them). It would be like trying to read white text on a newspaper.

Ideally, make a quick patch to make it better for now and then improve the design on the next full update.

(two cents, well intentioned)

Clever observations charbuilder. The problem with reduced vertical size on the group characters could be mediated using a press, drag to highlight, and release to select system. That should allow for accurate character selection with even fairly small vertical selection area. You could even use a drag and enlarge then select method if you wanted to get fancy (i.e. the applications bar on OS X)

Bump! This needs to be addressed and fixed

Bump again needing admin response

i agree too because if their is a high lvl on top of group you cant see his health
