Charan ~.~ floating dmg text it's something u expect to see on a mmorpg D1&2 didn't have anything like that so why u suddenly find the idea attractive? isn't it better if GGG add various different killing animations for crits depending what wpn/spell/skill u were using when the crit occur? we just need dmg logs on chat window that is enough, if GGG ad floating dmg text the game will surely start to look like something else, and I dont want that to happen, PoE as it is have a retro character dont spoil it with mainstream bullshits.

You are being completely ignorant and arrogant on the matter.

Titan Quest has Floating Damage Text, which can be turned on or off based on what you enjoy. The fact it has them does not make it any less of what it is, an ARPG.

Putting FDT in Path of Exile is not going to magically turn it from being an ARPG into a MMORPG or any other genre for that matter. The shear thought of such is absurd.

The fact remains, they are asking for a toggle-able option. In which case, if implemented you are arguing against a feature that does not effect you. If you don't want to see FDT, turn it off.

The fact you are even arguing against it is doing nothing but make you look like an imbecile.

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!

rpgmaniac: the MMOs I played did not have floating text; they had damage/combat chat logs. Eq1 and DAoC. So I couldn't disagree with you more. Floating numbers are a product, as I have said, of early JRPGs and later some ARPGs. Borderlands had them too, and used them to very great effect.
