JinONplay.8905 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Sometimes the damage numbers just blocks view of enemy animation, also makes the screen clutters a bit over bearing sometimes. Add an option to put damage numbers on chat box only. 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I'd like that, or an option to move them somewhere else. I never pay attention to the numbers, unless it's consistently 0, which tells me I'm doing something wrong. In my other MMO I have it set to tell me only if my attacks aren't working, and the text appears above the chat box rather than in the middle of the screen so it doesn't block my view of other things. Although that's a mix of in-game settings and a mod. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biziut.3594 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I would like that. I am using arc most of the time, and it's not like this numbers gives You much insight anyway. We have some tolggles in options to hide parts of the HUD already. They even have presets You can choose from, one of this presets is named "Immersive". I wasn't toying with it, but You might give it a try if You haven't already. Maybe the feature You want is already there. I certainly can't imagine "Immersive" HUD that shows You big floating numbers on screen. So might be worth a try. xd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowKatt.6740 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I can get behind this. I literally do not read the numbers anyway. Never have, never will. The enemies health bar either goes down or it doesn't, that's all you need. Imagine if we could get rid of all the numbers. What would happen to the DPS meta then? Are there enough crayons to console the meta-chasing players? 1 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zera.9435 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (edited) I can get behind this, too, despite that I will never do enough damage. The result is always the same: the numbers don't matter. They are WAY too low anyway. Unless I am doing 10 figure damage, don't show it to me. I already know my damage is way too low. Don't rub it in my face. Let me hide my shame. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS TOO MUCH DAMAGE. Edited February 9 by Zera.9435 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godspeed 🫡 I'm curious, random troll who may never return, why do you think it's a bad idea? The most valuable combat information anyone will typically want would come from a combat addon (ArcDPS) or logs, yes? And even if seeing these numbers pop up on the screen is somehow highly valued as well, wouldn't you be able to gather that exact same information (more detailed even) from the combat chat tab? Enlighten me, random troll, or whoever else would like to. Even if it is somehow "bad" or "stupid" I still want to see the option to hide those pop-up numbers in-game. (Shouldn't need an addon just for this.) Who does it hurt, other than potentially the person hiding those numbers from themself? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrison Storm.3046 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I would agree with the ability to suppress... though I do enjoy whacking the occasional Ambient Rabbit or Rat for the 6 figures or so, that pop up on the screen! 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never knew it existed. 😄 It does make it a little hard to see _what_ you hit which is why I don't enable that option. But in case of a single target in strikes that might be okay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've noticed that it also includes indicators such as "Evaded" and other vital information, so I don't think I will use it at the moment. But it is good to know that this option exists. 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilMasa.2546 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Train your minds: a true warrior does not rely only on sight: smell, hearing, the perception of the opponent's bloodlust. You still have a lot to learn, young apprentices. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice if it only hid non-0 numbers and retain every other info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antycypator.9874 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Imagine Anet deleting damage indicators at all. Just like in Path of Exile, you will never see your actual DPS in game, because you don't need it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I can imagine that all the rage when casuals fail everything with a timer due to players doing 1-3k dps where 7k is needed. They will blame the game is to hard nerf please. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
