Turning off flying text of others, is there a waY?

Need a dev/community rep comment on this.

it s a good start but we need even more option :p

like have the choice to see what we really want to see on that combat text

the heal, damage taken , block , parade , ect ect all should have a option to hide or not ... since the launch of the game it s very annoying that nothing has been done on that :o

right now there is so many number that we don t even understand what it is ... especially for a tank :p

Please add this. This is something that has bugged me since 2.0.

Has there been any word on this?

The flying text should be just as configurable as the chat log, if not more so.

We check our character's surroundings all the time to avoid attacks, so it's useful to see that information "flying" on your character.

- Party (this should be the default option)

- All
Flying text on every character

Brilliant! Heck, playing as a monk, even my own stances get irritating, but factor in every Tom, Dick, and Harry's flying text, and I have no idea what is happening to whom anymore. It's fine when I'm just running around with my chocobo, but the instant I step into a FATE, or wander into a crafting section of town (do I REALLY need to see every person's use of Inner Quiet?), or do anything involving other people... It's madness.

it's pretty horrid that ARR is over a year in existence and something like this still has not been implemented.

Your own fling text scrolls up or down and is diplayed for five seconds before disappearing. Flying text for others doesn't scroll, and is only displayed on screen for one second before it's gone. Flying text is not a problem. It doesn't obstruct anything so it's does no harm. At the very least it informs what other players are doing.

Chalk up another problem that could be solved by addons.

Yes agree, flying text to only see mine please.

This is a mock-up of the kind of customization I would like my combat text to have:
