Combat counters
#19058 - 04/02/07 01:16 AM

Replying to another post gave me this idea:

In the past, combat and chat logs have been suggested. Additionally, the devs have stated that they don't want to give away all of the dps calculation secrets. If combat logs were available, then one could extrapolate some DPS values from the logs, therefore, I don't necessarily think logs are the best idea.

Instead, I would like to see a running total combat counter for healing, damage done and damage taken over the course of both an individual gaming session (login to logout) and a cumulative counter of total healing, damage done and damage taken from the birth of the character. The values could be shown by Karl (click Karl to flip pages, for example).

Both of these would be 'fun' numbers to brag about. I can easily image doing well over a million points of damage in a single gaming session, for example...

The DPS of Weapon isn't a secret you can find it by yourself and they didn't hide it.

IMO damage and kills counters are great idea

This could be a nifty idea to use while trying out different set ups for both groups and solo. It would allow you to track kills over a time period using things like 2h hammer over 2 swords and helping you decide which best suits your own play style. I could see where this would have some uses.
