    PvP number squish IDEA

    Since in instanced PvP we use PvP templates anyway Blizzard could squish numbers by 1000 without much of side effects.
    It would be mostly be a graphic QoL change more than anything. But it would be so much nicer to look at whats going on.

    Instead of 2mln hp it would be a 2k np
    a 1 k damage would be 1 point of damage
    300k heal would be 300 points of heal

    could be ofc scaled to any other values like instead of 2mln-2k np it could be proportionally be say a 10k np for people that now have 2mln anything that would feel the best

    Pretty nice, old classic style where you can actually see what's going on.
    instead of current sumber spam fest.

    Only downside I see could be with rounding up numbers but that would only affect the most meaningless numbers if anything.
    PvP and PvE numbers are very off even right now anyway so why not get an advantage out of it.

    I agree, totally support it

    It works just fine in timewalking too. Yet it would be easier as barely anything works in instanced PvP (like sets, items, potions etc) other than basic class toolkit.

    Can't see anything wrong with the idea, even work it would require is minimal.

    Why, why though? It'd be strange to hit for millions in PVE and for thousands in PVP. Also going from millions of health to thousands. For no benefit at all. 1.2k health isn't more readable than 1.2M health.

    Would be easy to do inside the ui from their side, but if they wanted to do it, they would have done it years ago when people first started demanding to stop with the explosion of numbers. Heck, they could just put a toggle in there, for those who want their numbers rounded, compared to those simpletons who like their massive but meaningless crit numbers of 7+ digits.

    I simply turned off any combat numbers spam since wod, its way more relaxing without that stuff on screen and just the bars of your opponents with some numbers plopping up inside the unitframe itself.
