Nothing has been proven, you guys are just acting like obnoxious children shouting "NO!" over and over, at something you don't like.
Seems the main point against it is that it would be mandatory, however you guys apparently just have no idea what "optional" means.
Just because you feel compelled to use something you don't want does NOT make it mandatory, you're just afraid that you're weak-willed, I hope you never take up smoking.

Floating combat text(FCT) is something that a lot of people 1. enjoy and 2. expect from a game in this genre. 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!
that would be awesome :D

Floating combat text drastically improves the rate and ease at min maxing. It would be foolish to say otherwise. Therefore, not enabling it, if it was an option. Would mean you are SEVERELY gimping yourself.
Thus, it is not optional. It is mandatory.
Edit. I also see you have still failed to state evidence that proves it does not hamper immersion.

I think the major flaw of the game is that it is lacking combat feedback, FCT would help it.

Mandatory. You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Text that you can turn off by your own decision must be defined as optional.
Easing the process of rate maxing? Sounds good.
Dislike of combat text isn't a valid justification for preventing others from using it, especially when one can choose to switch it off.
One can optionally gimp oneself in many ways in game, using inappropriate equipment, for instance. Are we going to protect players from that too?

I'd have to try at something, to fail at it, FCT does nothing to hamper my immersion in games, it's been done countless times and I never once felt it make the game less enjoyable.
Hate to be the one to break it to you buddy but, your points are completely invalid and you're being nothing but a negative nancy, if you can't come up with a real objection to this suggestion...don't expect any more replies from me.
I usually hate dismissing people like that but, when you're just blabbing the same bull over and over, it's just annoying to converse with you.
Your argument thus far has consisted of stating repeatedly that "optional" means "mandatory" and that FCT would ruin the game by making it feel...less like a game?

Please no, I hate the visual clutter in games so much if you guys do anything only go so far as to put a numerical value on the monster health bars. However I like the lack of clutter so far as is:)

Some people don't like the clutter, that's why it's being suggested as an option, so those who don't want it don't have to use it.

Blah blah blah blah. All I see you doing is repeating the same old tired thing.
Floating numbers blow.

I dont see why this thread is still going on...
I know me and SL4Y3R differ on our opinion of this option, and im not going to elaborate on why or why not i like it, but the bottom line is, GGG has aleady stated that at some time in the future, this will most likely come in the form of three different choices.
So, without further adue, i present to you, a dead discussion.
My thoughts.
GGG - Why you no? Last edited by JoannaDark#6252 on Jan 22, 2013, 12:44:12 AM
