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

I like seeing flyinh/scrolling text for my own character as well as effects/damage put on other characers/targets by myself. But is there a way to leave that on while turning of the flying/scrolling text of others? If healer's putting regen on me thats all fine and dandy to see, but I don't need to tsee that he's putting regen on someone else, or that the monk is going through all his stances, or the blm is putting out X amount of damage. its more information then needed.

if there isn't a way to turn these off, like how they added they ability to turn all dots on targets other then your own, it should really be added.

There is [/I]one[/I] way via the character settings menu.
But sadly, that disables all flying text.
In the future, I would really like to see an option like to switch others/npcs/yours flying text off, just so it clears more room and gives a better indication of your damage. Because I don't like to see flying numbers everywhere :D

Agree flying text needs to be customized.

Bump for justice

Agreed wholeheartedly about monk stances and others' damage. Considering that it's virtually impossible to discern which damage comes from who, the ability to see others' damage should just be removed entirely

When doing FATE this becomes even more annoying, specially when you have 30+ players around the FATE's target.
Instead of a single ON/OFF setting, this should be:

- Off
Turn off that option entirely

- Self
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)
Usually not so useful for me, but I often check my Chocobo's "Choco Surge" using the flying text, and it's also good to see how much EXP he earned. It's also useful to check if someone is on Regen and stuff.

- All
Flying text on every character

This pretty much hits the nail on the head.

And with the right-sized hammer too!

I would love to have such an Option. T6 is driving me nuts with all the flying texts from the Fairy lol. It is just very disturbing if you have to be concentrated on Game mechanics while you stand very close together as a group. I have disabled Group effects and use Initials instead of full names but it is still crowded.

That's a great idea. As long as I can see buffs/debuffs on anyone I don't care about flying text, it just clutters the screen. Especially with jobs like monk who seems to have plenty of it...

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.

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:

It was posted to the Beta-2 forums and had no response...

Devs look here

Dev please look over here!

I'm sure there will be an addon that someone makes in the future that does exactly what you guys are looking for :)

I find it strange that this issue, to my knowledge, has gone completely unacknowledged by Square-Enix. A simple search revealed an astounding amount of forum threads and reddit posts specifically aimed at this topic. As I am not a dev, I cannot speak to the ease of implementing such a change, however I am a member of the long list of people that would welcome the ability to limit the flying text shown to my own.

As it currently stands turning off flying text leaves me with no way of knowing how much damage I am dealing or when I get a proc outside of monitoring my chat log. Turning it on however yields nearly the same result. As a tank in a raid situation, standing next to a mob that is hidden in a flurry of numbers generated by 24 characters worth of attacks, debuffs and DOTs, it is nearly impossible to decipher any reliable amount of information at a glance.

Just showing my support on this, as the devs (yes camate, Im looking at you) said they would update us on this matter in the future! still waiting on the update! :D

How this isn't even an option from day 1 is beyond me. Hey Devs...
