New numbers are great, dunno what you guys are complaining about.

No really, I like them.

These new numbers are awsome.

I really hope they keep them! And I really don't see why some of you guys don't like them....

*shrugs*

I guess everyone needs a little something to complain about. Personally I like it the way it is now. There number like just fine at both 1280 x 1024 and 1024x768.

My numbers look like those posted by alphite.
Then again I don't do crazy things to themes in windows and changes fonts and font sizes and system dpis ethier.

On a side note, if you don't want the icons just take look in the options window, on the general tab there is an option to use text instead of icons. Pretty B&W if you ask me.

I am with Gamecube187 on this, I just can't understand why people really don't like them . . . .

I love them now! And really dig the skill icons too.

I actually sorta like the new numbers. At least in my opinion. I just hate that thing on the left that shows how many times you've been hit with that spell and what that spell is.

I like the new numbers as well. Much easier on the eyes, if you ask me (which you didn't, but still

). I also like the bar that tells me what skills I've been hit with recently. And the icons popping up beside the damage done (to me). I like that too.

Basically, gg Anet.

Want big? Try using BotM when you have 10 fiends attacking a full mob. I'll put up a screen when I get home.

Metsa Pille · Oct 30, 2006, 09:40 AM // 09:40

I don't really see a problem with this. Went troll farming and i didn't see anything wrong even though most of the screen was full of numbers. I found it amusing, not disturbing. And the damage source thing that is on the left end of the screen by stock is a nice addition as well. At least i know how i died when someone ninja-kills me.

EDIT: and my screen resolution is 1280x1024
Thought i'd bring it out, because the resolution is said to have an impact on the number sizes.

They were a bit of a surprise when I first saw them, but I quickly got used to them ^^

akruan · Oct 30, 2006, 12:13 PM // 12:13

They are awesome. Reminds me that I'm playing an RPG, everything's more clear now, hence I have a better understanding of damage.

bigwig · Oct 30, 2006, 12:21 PM // 12:21

I like the new numbers. I wonder why the human psyche feels pleasure when we complain about things.

The Silver Star · Oct 30, 2006, 12:31 PM // 12:31

Actually i think that this update is really nice even though i didnt think this at first i now enjoy it eg can see what owns you etc is nice to see. Best non nerf update i think Anet has done

Pro-Monk · Oct 30, 2006, 12:35 PM // 12:35

Love Em, Keep Em.

If enough peeps are bothered by them, they should provide a toggle. I was super pleased that the Skill text on the Skill bar can be toggled now. Only took a year or so to get the option to turn them off....lol.

I think this is pretty much the reason for it.

For about 2 hours I found myself disliking it, but once I got use to the change, I now think its great.

Old damage numbers were flat looking and boring. These new ones are full of full.

Da Scotty · Oct 30, 2006, 12:41 PM // 12:41

unhappy too

Qual · Oct 30, 2006, 01:04 PM // 13:04

Guys, plz stop saying if you like the new numbers or not. I think 50% of the gamers like them and the other half does not(I dislike them). A-net just have to put in the option menu, so we change between old school and new pop style numers and all are happy. It's shit easy(sorry for saying the S-word).

Jongo River · Oct 30, 2006, 02:19 PM // 14:19

I like them.

I would, however, be offended by unnecessary options cluttering my gaming enviroment and would definately complain about that.

zerohaste · Oct 30, 2006, 03:12 PM // 15:12

New numbers > old numbers, IMO. They are very easy on the eyes.

Aera Lure · Oct 30, 2006, 03:23 PM // 15:23

This is another thing I hate about the new update. This one at least isnt gameplay affecting so much, though its annoying as hell when farming, running minion master, or anything else that causes a bulk of damage. Really wish they wouldnt have done this and I am 100% sure they are going to give the "live with it" response as we got with the previous interface changes.

Gaile Gray · Oct 30, 2006, 03:56 PM // 15:56

Thanks for the images. From what I'm seeing, this problem is a factor when people are playing in far distant view, that is, with the camera pulled back to the maximum distance. (How do you guys even see what you're doing!?

)

Anyway, with those, I can better describe your concerns to the UI Programmer. He and I spent some time trying to replicate the issue, but this makes it much more clear. Thanks!
