Game should display grey numbers when you miss a positional

[Rongway]

That's a funny post, but kind of irrelevant. Like, it doesn't particularly help with finding that "sweet spot" on huge enemies like Midgardsormr. Plus it's a means of feedback for learning players without getting into the parser debate.

It's completely relevant. It clearly shows front, flank, and rear on a target.

In lots of Savage stuff tight stacking is required, making positionals a huge annoyance during those timeframes. Would like more feedback from the game concerning those considering I’ve been playing for awhile now, and I still don’t have a clear idea of the cutoffs for positionals relative to boss size (how far inside a large boss’ hitbox can I be and still land it etc.)

The size of the target is irrelevant. "Rear" is the gap in the target circle. You just need to half step back and forth over the spot where the circle ends. Here are some more explicit visual aids:



You can be farther inside, as long as you're inside/outside of the cone drawn by the green lines, but there shouldn't be any reason to be so far inside the boss that you can't tell if you're hitting flank and rear or not. Even super tight donut attacks still let you stand on the circle, and if you're in a party doing savage, they should all know where the flank/rear boundary is and stack to accomodate if necessary.

It's irrelevant because nobody is asking where the flank or rear is at. They're asking for in-game feedback on whether or not you hit the positional requirement at said flank or rear.

It was a direct reply to

so yes, it's relevant.
