PLEASE give us a combat log

All too often damage numbers are displayed out of view of the camera, especially with complex attacks or tall enemies. Please give us a chat-like window that will display the results of combat actions including damage done.

If you don't want to do that, please draw all damage numbers actually in view of the combat camera.

Thanks.

I totally agree. While a combat log would be nice. I would just love to be able to see the damage that my pirate is doing. I can almost always see my companions attack numbers on screen, as a Buccaneer I rarely see what my damage is.
I think the problem is that the camera views in too close.
I also had this problem on my Swashbuckler.
I Really hope they look into this.

I like the idea of a battle log - but I'd like to see it as an Optional setting, something that could be turned on or off. It could even let you choose whether you wanted damage shown in the main chat box, as separate text bubbles, or both (as we can for regular chat).

As a daily player, I'm constantly theorycrafting and putting together strategies for my battles. What I'd love on a combat log would be a five-battle hit log for my team and any other players' teams when they're in my battle. However, it wouldn't count the exact movements of the opposing team, except for in PvP. Also, I would love a MVP and average damage bit, if applicable.

However, with the addition of a combat log, a way to chart the board would be so useful, like the way a chessboard can be charted. It would be announced for each battle before it was added. Here's what I imagine it to look like:

Battle No. 1 - 5 x 5 battleboard
Opponents: 2 Troggy Hunters, 1 Troggy Shaman
PlayerNameHere uses Assassin's Gloom on Troggy Warrior, Troggy Warrior, Troggy Shaman on B2
PlayerNameHere takes 30 damage from B3, B1, and C2.
Troggy Warrior, Troggy Warrior, and Troggy Shaman have been defeated! PlayerNameHere wins the battle!
Avg. Damage: XX
MVP: PlayerNameHere

Please consider something like this!

Edited later that day: If there was a feature like this, I would imagine it in another section of your player stats. Perhaps another hotkey page? -DSD
