Floating combat text

+1 to FTC as an option with toggling individually to each thing we want to see on screen (damage i take, magical damage i deal, etc.)

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!


Great idea actually, the option to turn it off/etc doesn't hurt no one and only makes people who want FCT happier, cant wait for this addon!

Hmm, more than anything, I'd like enemy HP bars or something floating above their head, mainly because when you're playing six player and there are zombies and skeletons and spectres and fire and ice and lightning and blood and stuff EVERYWHERE, it can get a bit difficult to tell the difference between enemies and allies.
Totally agree on the FCT but you should be able to turn it off.
would be awesome :)
+1 for FTC :))

I'd like to see my damage whether trough floating text combat or a combat log in chat window. I just need to see the numbers of my build.

I hope that all the UI stuff like this, FCT, buff bars, etc. is in the options menu, because the greatest lesson that WoW taught us was that the best UI is one that you can tailor to your playstyle, to your individual character, or even to what your characters are doing at a particular time. The only time the UI gets in the way of a game experience is when it's not doing what you want it to do.
