Aryzyra Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 So you're saying you were unable to read and remember all the floating combat text while tanking? Clearly fraps is the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerdoc Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 You need a combat log to tell your that healer fell asleep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercArcher Posted December 22, 2011 Author Share Posted December 22, 2011 (edited) So you're saying you were unable to read and remember all the floating combat text while tanking? Clearly fraps is the answer. Ahh yes, fraps. I can use that for about half an hour before the memory leaks kill my framerates. I'd relog to fix it, but there's no grace period so I'd get stuck in the queue. Edited December 22, 2011 by MercArcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSensi Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 The combat log has been disabled for some time now. I think its been about 2-3, or 3-4 builds ago we had an active combat log. BW gave no solid reason as to why they disabled it, but they did. OP, I lol'd @ the sarcasm GG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skiveron Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Bioware did not include the combat log for the betterment of the community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordSatoh Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 This is a game not some math lab. At lvl 33 I do get challenging stuff, I die few times but I always succeed. Why do you need more info? Just learn to play not create a equation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freepy Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 You no need a stinkin combat log....I can tell you what happened! You took an arrow to the knee..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laparkuh Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 (edited) Here's a hypothetical...What if you are in a group and tank keeps dying or just seems to be receiving spike damage? Do you, A. Blame the tank and call them "bad at tanking"? B. Blame healer for not casting enough to keep tank health at a safe level? or C. Blame DPS for slacking off? You could keep trying to kill the same mob over and over again and struggle, or check combat log and see right away what needs changed. Personally I'd rather sit in a queue than wipe to a boss over and over again and not know what's really killing us... EDIT : And before anyone says "WE DID THIS FINE WITHOUT COMBAT LOGS"...sure...we did fine without electricity and automobiles too for centuries, but it doesn't mean we should go back to doing things the hard way...

So do you need a combat log to know why you died when you play Skyrim or any other game that involves damage known to man? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stradlin Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Heh..don't worry OP. I'll come and heal your next run. I just tweak the OPS UI a bit so it is even remotely healer friendly and..oh wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laparkuh Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 So do you need a combat log to know why you died when you play Skyrim or any other game that involves damage known to man? No. No, I cuss and reload my character and burn every resist buff and potion I have because I'm not sure if it was just a critical hit or he's exploiting a weakness (IE. low magical resists or AC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
