    Floating Combat Text

    Why would they remove the option to hide floating numbers? I REALLY dont want to see 89374520 green numbers flying around all over my screen every time one of my hots heals, or when I tranq. Is there an addon up to date that I can use to turn this off, since Blizz felt the need to take away that interface option? >

    Incredibly stupid of them to remove these options, making us need yet ANOTHER addon...

    Fucking ridiculous that they remove options instead of adding more, now you have to download yet another addon to do basic things.

    Why can't they add an option for "advanced character stats" and "basic character stats (what it is now)"? Now I need an addon just to see how much armor, attack power, etc my character has.

    Also they literally pruned the interface option. Why can't they simply have an "advanced" tab?

    I still want this text back: http://imgur.com/a/9Gaul

    Cant find an addon that does it either, not sure if its even possible to get it back.

    sigh

    You are a god send, thanks!

    I find it very annoying that someone honestly thought it was a good idea to remove this option. At least they explained the thought process behind removing the max camera distance (which was also a dumb decision)

    That's an odd choice on Blizzard's part.

    The tiny combat text is terrible, on a high resolution monitor it's barely large enough to read.

    Thank you so much man, all this new bullshit they've done is giving me headaches, so it's nice to be able to get rid of some of it.

    Using that script seems like an unfair advantage over those who don't know about it. Blizzards vision for the game is that players use the tiny combat text so that option will probably be removed.

    Instead of starting a new thread, can anyone tell me how I can get the numbers back on enemy health bars? If I wanted to see enemy hp?

    Thank you

    Good thing you can't zoom too far out.

    Was not working for me. Had to disable it and ended up just using the script anyway.

    Proof it's bugged? I believe you but unless I see a blue acknowledging it I doubt it'd get fixed

    They need to bring back the way floating combat text popped during Cata. I hate what they've been doing with it because of people complaining that "Numbers are too big". Turn off combat text then! I want my flashy, big numbers back damn it! We need advanced tabs for everything imo.
