Guild Wars 2

at the moment the combat log does not show defensive skills, heals, dodges etc.

I feel like I get hit during dodges, blocks etc very often by stuff that shouldn´t do that.
With an improvement of combat log I could actually see how kittenty the servers are and blame the game for losing

I’m sure somebody will say what we have now is just fine and dandy but in reality its the most minor league combat log I’ve ever seen and I go back to EQ 1 and Ultima Online. They can and should do better.

They talked about improving it a while back. I think it’s somewhere on the priority list but not at the top.

Don’t forget about the timestamps as well, needs more digits!

Upgrading the combat log with more information means we uncover lots of things that may not have been explained anywhere, and need to be updated with new descriptions.

And you are thinking about this only now?! You should provide as much information as possible if you want to develop a big top-tier PVP community (and to let GW2 be an esport). I didn’t expect such an answer.

Combat log is a beat topic. Already plenty of thread by Evan saying he is working on it. Let the man Work.

A mate of mine started working on his house 25 years ago – he still hasn’t got the roof on!!!
Seriously 9 months since launch and the combat log is STILL minimal BUT how much kitten temporary content has there been? I mean i know you gotta do that to try to retain and make more customers but if spvp is to succeed then all aspects need to be looked at (and not just arenas etc).

Timestamps with seconds, and for gods sake add critical damage(it already shows, but just as regular damage) and condition damage. You dont have to add it all at once but do it slowly at least.

before you go ahead adding stuff to the combat can you fix it for pets

as a bm ranger my pet does most of my damage.. i cant see any of that in a combat log so it’s completely useless to rangers..

make pet damage show in combat log.. <more important than above
