I'm just wondering, are you asking for a combat log that shows EVERYONE'S damage like the add on in WoW, or the combat log that just shows your damage, your healing, and the damage you receive? I'm in favor of the latter, not the former.

Yeah ok not the most important issue out there, but still valid.

I dont need to see it to complete the game or win a fight but when we get stuck somewhere or wonder why I just got one shotted without anything standing out on the screen, I would like to consult the combat log.

I would like to see how my damage is doing and try to improve my gameplay. If a spell doesnt hit a target then I want to know why (I dont know all the ins and outs of the game to know all the time whats going on).

I have a feeling that not all our attacks are registering properly and if they added the combat log this would be visible to all. Just speculating from my own observations but cant see another reason otherwise not to have this included in the game.

Add it to the To Do List
... No, I'm not the droid your looking for!

we dont need combat logs or the psuedo-math savants that invariably follow.

Game is fine as is without the numbers and faux analysts

I hope they don't ever add it.
This is a good thing. Means you have to perform!

Don't you realize that people don't want to have to be good or put in any effort to get their reward? Simply look to Warcraft again. They are constantly nerfing the content into the ground and a great number of the best players have moved on in frustration. Of course the folks making their living by clearing the "difficult content" have to brag about how difficult it is because it'd be detrimental to say otherwise. I mean who wants to pay attention if your content is touted as easy. Much like why nobody cares who's killed what PVE-wise in this game.

WoW never had hard raiding , was always a hack and slash arcade style zerg-fest.

Love hearing the stories though from WoW players who talk as if they are Veterans of some great War!

Its a kiddy game , with little gnome women who have pink afro puff hair. And now they have pandas and pokemon.

I'd love to see your account profile with the Burning Crusade raid achievements from 10/14/2008...
