mrbiggggy Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Seriously BW why would you leave out something so critical to an mmo pretty much every mmo ever has had a combat log some people actually RELY on the combat log for information during combat was there just not enough time to include one? did you figure no one would care? did you just say oh this is just a casual game, we are trying to get people who played games like mass effect and dragon age to pay us a subscription... they never had a combat log that would just confuse them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicycookie Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 They are working on one. Don't worry. They already said they are working on a personal combat log. But I guess this will take some time to code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess this will take some time to code. how do they expect to effectively balance pvp with out actually knowing for sure how much damage healing etc everything is doing i mean isnt a combat log required not just for the players but for developers too this just seems like a such a big joke to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenjohnp Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 A tonne of features than should be standard in MMOs these days were left out. I fear they were simply rushed to meet deadlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtybomb Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Because the game is aimed at very casual players. They had a combat log early in beta. Doubt they pulled it cuz it was too hardcore. Probably didn't work correctly and they haven't figure out how to fix it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FooBard Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Seriously BW why would you leave out something so critical to an mmo Critical? I'm not getting how this feature is a Critical item to be able to play a video game... I dunno, I guess I'm just good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EscVelocity Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) heh... they should voice act the combat log. "Master, you crit for 5000!" "Master brush up on your aim, cause that shot missed." lmao! "Master, you crit for 5000! You deserve nothing less." And make the voice volume separate at 100% with no options so you either have to mute the game or keep sound on.

XD No, you were serious? Bioware can monitor combat damage. That's how they do it. It's been stated. What's being worked on is something that doesn't look like telnet on your screen, that matches the UI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbiggggy Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 I agree. Because parsing a combat log makes you hard core. i dont even consider myself a hardcore i want to see what my **** is hitting for and have a log of it i want to see why this ability didnt go off i want to see why it used the cooldown on an ability but the ability was not performed i want to see why that hit for less than it usually does i want to see how often im missing i want to see how often my **** is getting dodged i want to see basic **** that you can see in a log in almost every other mmo and a lot of single player rpgs (not bioware ones, lol those are the call of duties of rpgs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drayzen Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 The Combat Log was left out of the game, so that players could not do the following.

Brakner Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) Direct copy paste from another thread: I have posted this multiple times in the last 3 weeks, why is it that every TROLL or whiner on the forum has the identical 3 things in common? 1. No avatar 2. Some stupid name all in lower case with multiple letters the same( e.g. pwnnnkthxbyyyy) 3. Every second line has swearing in it or strategically placed wording to bypass the swear filter It's really weird, are they all from the same place or same previous games like MW3 or BF2?

Ashik Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I'd love a combat log...hopefully it gets implemented soon. But I'm a patient person and am having a blast with this game. As DPS and an officer I love parsers. However, in the mean time the enrage timers for hard/nightmare modes in raids give us all a vague idea of how we're doing. If we kill the boss then all is well. For the record I am certainly /signing for a combat log! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
