Guild Wars 2

After the Blood and Madness patch, I can no longer see the retaliation damage floater. The damage numbers are still popping up, but not with the usual yellow fist icon, so it’s harder to notice. Maybe something went wrong while introducing the new condition damage floaters?

All condition floater look the same now. Previously (pre15th) retaliation and confusion were special … basically to tell …. some ppl that they should rethink about attacking.
Now conditions have a bit smaller floaters with an icon in front of the number showing the condition icon. For Reta and Confu it’s a bit harder to see, but it’s great for others. Additionally they finally summarized stacks. 25 bleedings don’t flood the screen anymore, but you see a single number each tick.

Personally I think the icon should’ve been at the end of the floaters, but I guess they tested both.

I did see how the new floaters look, including the confusion floaters. (and I liked it )

Retaliation floaters still show up as just numbers with no icons, at least to me. They look exactly like the old bleed floaters pre-patch, so it actually became harder to see now. I don’t think that was intentional.

Since they did re-enable reta-floaters for phantasms, I can see them again.
Are you playing on sandy background or such ? I can “clearly” identify reta-floaters.

Or do you mean incoming damage ?
