Credit for combat perks

[Earl]

The combat perks I'm taking about are

 

Fatal Man

Evanescence

Mirror Skin

and Body Piercing

 

Is it possible to have a word pop up above the players head when the perk has done something useful? That way when you see "Dodge!" float up you know that evanescence is helping and you would have been hit otherwise.

 

Positive Perks are rarely used by fighters, maybe if player could see them being useful it might shift that balance.

 

Something similar can be said for No more tears, "Your Steel Chain would have been destroyed if not for No More Tears"

 

Then again the probabilities probably don't work like that.

i would like to see something like that for the combat perks would be nice to know

Its a good idea, just got to see if its possible, and if it worth doing. It so why not have it for all perks including the negative onces (even though most of the are quite obvious, e.g. with hellspawn you dont need a message to say when that worked as most people would have figured that out )

[Earl]

That's a good point. It could extent to Artificer perk, "Thanks to Artificer, you made an Enriced Fire Essence".

Hey I like this idea too. It would do some perks some good.

What about for critical hit/damage aswell so you know when your fancy sword is doing good. Would things get too spammy alongside the regular exp messages?

The BOD of course already does this... maybe others too?? But the spammy suggestion is certainly very valid.

 

Maybe if they were handled (as I think was the original suggestion) as a floating comment kinda like health and mana, as opposed to "chat" text.

I meant alongside the floating att/def exp messages, might not be too bad if they're made smaller and maybe a different colour.

Nice Idea!

Something like floating messages could be good, perhaps instead of ascending text, this can be rolling in the level on knees or descending from the level of chest down, fading in the ground...
