Guild Wars 2

Here’s a thread in reddit listing all the feature patch changes in one place:

In one of the comments an Anet dev said that though they didn’t have an article on it, the new combat log (much improved) will be coming with the patch.

For those who don’t know, the combat log has been largely redone to including more accurate and detailed information.

Thank you Vayne excellent summary.

I’m a bit mystified as to why this sort of change wouldn’t get a major annoucement. After all people have been asking for improvements to the combat log for a long time. Probably as much or more than people were asking for a minipet slot.

I’m sure they’re completely different groups, though. lol

They did talk about it on Ready Up? …somewhere…. a few weeks back. Maybe it was in the forums over in the PvP sub-forum. I can’t remember. But, it was a bit ago.

Not sure why it wasn’t included in the blog, though….

Edit: Ahh…it was presented at Gamescon during one of the interviews. I thought I had seen the Devs speak about it.

There was a thread about it in the forum, Combat Log Updates, on August 19th which is where I read about it first. No announcement or comment by ANet though.

pleasant surprise.
anything that further helps theory-craft and bug-detection is a plus in my book.

Yeah the very people complaining there’s nothing for harder core players, probably didn’t remember or know this was coming.

This definitely needs big announcement.The combat log that we have right now is a piece of crap.I don’t know why Anet won’t make a post for it.

For anyone interested, there is this article about the Combat Log taken from the aforementioned interview:

Well I’m sure it’ll be in the patch notes.
