I was just wondering if you guys at VR might consider a few things related to the health bar before launch. One of them being allowing us to change the size of it, particularly to enlarge it. As a healer I really like those bars big and front and center. I really enjoy seeing health numbers in those bars as well because the size and length of those bars isn't always indicative of how much health someone really has remaining. I would like to unlock and move that group health bar and put it where I need it. I know that there will be people attempting to make custom UI's at some point but I would really hate to wait that long to be able to move and enlarge that health bar. I just wanted to bring this up as soon as possible in case you guys haven't already considered this but also for people out there who might be slightly vision empaired who want to play as well.
I don't know if I'll be able to find you a link or anything, but they're trying to give people all the customization they might want in a UI without needing mods. Not sure if it's in other threads, streams, or old Roundtable Discussions (or all of those), but I'm quite sure you'll be able to have the health bars you want and have them in the space you want them to occupy.
You've got nothing to worry about, Gamerchick :)
From the FAQ:
10.6 Will we be able to customize our own UI in-game without add-ons?
Yes, the UI will be customizable and skinnable. We will likely avoid, however, true scripting languages that might allow a player to create macros that automate gameplay.
Here's a link to the part of the stream where they talked about mods and add-ons: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/138465335?t=39m07s
And here are some threads discussing UI customization:

Nice UI customization is pretty much a must.
