You were slain! Awesome! But by what, exactly?

More than 20 years ago Diablo II managed to display what killed you.

You can take for granted that GGG doesnt want this feature otherwise it would have been implemented since beta.
They don't want this because the game is a mess. Some reported damage
would make no sense. Because a lot of deaths that happen to builds
that are realy tanky (sound builds) make no sense. They happen because of bugs. Effects
or mods buffing damage sometimes in a circular way when they shouldn't.
As it happend with the jewels, things that are hard to spot in the mess
that the code of the game is after so many things being added league after
league.

I see a lot of random people post this. Mind hooking a brother up with that source code so I can study it? As a student dev, I know I could learn a ton from it.

Thanks.
There are two types of POE players:
1) Those who want to walk uphill both ways barefoot on broken glass wearing a blindfold
2) F*cking noobs

I identify as transnational Chinese. May I have access to their QOL features, please?

Hope may yet exist for some kind of death recap, Here's a snip from another thread on the same topic.



Don't hold ur breath but also don't think you aren't being heard on the topic.


Good one. It's not like a death log is a new request, it's been asked for year after year and appears pretty frequently in feedback. If GGG had any real intention whatsoever to add it into the game, they would've already communicated it to the community.

Whatever they say is just lip service or a personal stance, not the company's.

I'm not asking either, just saying "combat log would be nice!". Having a message in the chat window telling you what you died of would help quite a bit already too.


Diablo 2 had this. It said: Player was slain by quillrat.

Hopefully this is in Poe 2. And a little more info than that.

Someone else remembers this :)
You raise a good point. If they wanted to do this they would have likely done it already. I still hope it's coming in Poe2.

iTs toO CoMpLiCaTeD!11!!!!

yeah with shitton of extra, increased,more and added damage, damage conversion, reduction mitigation and so on I bet they lost track of what they doing some time ago
of course we neither get a recap of what killed is, nor we would see any precise tool to see what our damage actually does
They honestly couldn't give you one right now I bet...

Half a second of an average map battle log would read like this:

White mob hit for 500
White mob hit for 501
White mob hit for 498
White mob hit for 367
White mob hit for 902
White mob hit for 601
White mob hit for 804
White mob hit for 320
White mob hit for 910
White mob hit for 206
White mob hit for 350
White mob hit for 703
White mob hit for 390
White mob hit for 420
White mob hit for 507
White mob hit for 642
White mob hit for 490
White mob hit for 358

With the current dogpile mechanics that's about as useful as they could give you, the real log would be 50 pages of that and take up half their server memory to keep.
Aye it would be very godo to know what killed you so you know what to fix. And also I wish it was a toggle to log the dmg in and out to a txt file
