Feedback and Suggestions (Path of Exile 1) - Floating Combat Text, on release? - Forum

Is this going to happen? I really want an option to see how much dmg I'm doing, also is a nice thing for new players so they can see if, i.e., changing equipment improves just a little or drastically their damage in a simple view. Just that, cheers! * sorry for my bad english, not my native. This thread has been automatically archived. Replies are disabled.	Posted by neekoarg#6254 on Oct 22, 2013, 3:44:51 PM Quote this Post
Nope, GGG has stated before that they do not like floating damage text. So you can dream on :D. This message was delivered by GGG defence force.	Posted by mazul#2568 on Oct 22, 2013, 3:45:52 PM Quote this Post
They actually think about adding this in the future.	Posted by Deleted on Oct 22, 2013, 3:52:02 PM

They don't like it, but they have said they may implement it in the future, but with options; sort of like the health bars now.	Posted by Nuttzo#1034 on Oct 22, 2013, 3:53:07 PM Quote this Post

There are also definitely people who don't like it, and would never choose to have it enabled. However, we're trying to appeal to as wide a community as possible, so it's quite likely that POE will eventually have three different options for FCT. The first would be the default, which is "Off". The second would be a version that merely shows your critical hits as FCT, possibly with the additional note of "Critical". The third option would be complete FCT, that shows all damage dealt, as well as misses and blocks. There are valid arguments for all three types of FCT, so we'll try to arrive at something that pleases the most people. Hope that makes you guys happy! hope.

Just like they said they wouldn't have health bars....its not a matter of what GGG thinks, if their fans want it it has to be done. After all we are the ones funding this project. Personally its something to look at. I'd prefer it. I could care less if it has been used in other games or whatever.....this game isn't exactly groundbreaking. arpg's have been around for ages. As for the skill tree....FF10 anyone? Point being, its about keeping the company afloat. Giving us what we want will make that happen.

GGG has said (specifically Qarl) that floating combat text was in internal testing the last I heard... about a year ago.	Posted by darkjoy#6975 on Oct 22, 2013, 4:20:20 PM Quote this Post
That's why they should add it on UI, so everyone shall choose what they want, I think it wouldn't affect anything, just bring some players a "must-have" (for them) cuz they're used to it from other rpgs/arpgs..	Posted by neekoarg#6254 on Oct 22, 2013, 5:47:25 PM Quote this Post
