Font Colors

[I'm just a guy]

When im on Beast master or Summoner, i tend to get mixed up with dmg taken and given beacuse your pet/summon/npc's damage and damage taken is the same as the color, and to yours as well.
Just woundering if you can add more color fonts/varaities?
thanks for reading :3

Thirded.

I have this problem when trying to spot out what a mob is casting. The spell gets thrown in the jumble of what everybody else in my party is doing. I wish there would be some way to change the damn font color of just one of them.

Re: Font Colors

I agree. Either that, or getting more detail with what we can filter out. As a Black Mage, I like to see the weaponskills hit and also see the resulting skillchain and its damage.

I could give a squat whether the melees are doing decent damage, but I have to watch it flood my log just to see the weaponskills and skillchains.

Re: Font Colors

Is it just me, or does anyone else have a problem trying to discern what filters apply to which info? Some are fairly obvious like "Actions started on/by me." While others are more obscure like "Actions started on/by NPC's."

They should change the language, or add a couple more filters to the effect of "Attacks avoided by the monster you are currently fighting." Maybe I'm just a bit more easily confused than the average bear, but messing with my filters is still something that irks me to no end...even after 2+ years of play time.

Amen!!

As a mage I don't need to see melee damage, but seeing Skillchain damage and Magic Bursts would be very helpful to us. (O.K. Maybe seeing WS damage wouldn't be too helpful, but I like to see the message when somebody closes for 1700dmg! lol I have to ask everybody else why they're going "OMGWTFBBQ <so_n_so> 4TW!!" lol)

Another things I would like would be to have job chat filters. As RDM I need to see resists, when stuff wears, and like I mentioned Skillchain damage. As DRK I wanna see how much damage I do, how much damage I take, and other stuff. Well if I spent the night before Meriting with everything turned off, I have to turn it all back on. We have 10 sets of Macros, why not 5 sets of chat filters? At least 2, I just tossed out 5 thinking we'd some how manage to find a way to use them. (Tanking, RDM, WHM, BLM, and then a melee DD set.)

I'd also like more options to change the chat log colors. I tried to change the color of /echo lines in the log a few months ago, and was disappointed to find that I couldn't make any changes to it. I'm sure there are others people would like to change and have found that they can't.
