Scrolling Combat Text?

I feel like I'm missing numbers on my screen, also I'd like to have a way of seeing how big blows I'm dealing.

Is it just me? :)

It would be pretty neat to have the damage be shown in small numbers.

Actually this is one of the things I would like to be implemented the most.

This and healthbars for each enemy on screen.

Couldn't agree more
This is not Fallout or C&C.

This kind of answer gets me madder every time.

Just because they implement an OPTION to enable it for people who want isn't gonna put a dent in your precious little gem.

Despite the fact that you'd like your game to cater to you and you only, GGG has to make money, and this is a nice option that would please many people. Besides, they already stated that they are thinking of implementing this as an option that could be toggled on and off.

This has to be the most ignorant post I've seen on this forum so far.

And I hate the stupid reasoning that is "just make it an option".

There is nothin that is "just" with software development and this would be tons of time wasted on useless features that maybe half the playerbase would even use.

I mean sure a couple of years down the road it would be nice if it was added but it's really not needed at all to figure out your damage.

This is called "to throw the baby out with the bathwater" for nothingness, yes it is so !

Why would devs spend their precious time on a cheap feature as that one, while there are tons of problems they have to deal with that pops up every now and then ? This feature won't add any advantage to gameplay or anything like gaining an edge over other games in the market etc.

This is not your personal game and since it is not, you don't have the right to turn PoE into another generic yet stupid mmorpg mentality which all of them having in default.

Having an option damages PoE's stance, philosophy and prestige, have you ever thought of these ? Probably not, cause you acting like nothing but a selfish player, like many people out there who wants this option like there is no tomorrow as if it was the highest priority shit on 'to do list'.

GGG is not entitled to make money only but only from this feature which hardly will ever happen, so better yet stop dreaming, or just dream silently.

Besides, for those who are constantly giving nonsense excuses that GGG should had to make money blabla crap. If you wanna support them do it straightaway, not because with the condition of anything.

First of all, I already paid 30$ in the shop. Just to get this out of the way, although I don't really know why we are talking about money suddenly.

Second: I don't think it would be soo much work to implement such a feature. They already got the routines to draw text based on an item position, so why not register another draw command in the functions that handle and apply damage and draw it to an enemy position? I don't see the big problem. Actually I bet it would only take one day of work, with testing and polishing maybe 3-4 days. I'm a hobby programmer, so I know what's possible and what isn't.

Well, ok the healthbars for each enemy could indeed need some more work. But personally I know at least two people who complain about the missing healthbars for each enemy the most.
Many people are used to such a feature. Let's say building and implementing this would take 2 weeks ... they won't finish act 4 in this time, bugs will always be discovered. We can't just forget a feature that is elementary to many users, only because at this stage the game has other problems.
