XP LOSS needs LOGGING

100% of the time, I don't know what killed me.

If you want to keep the XP loss, at least let the players know what killed them.

In this game there are hundred of invisible, delayed ground effects and explosions.

It's not difficulty, it's bad design !

Not at all to make light of the 'issue' of combat log, one shots, visual clarity, etc etc... These are very obvious 'issues' raised by players, so that is what it is.

That said, i just wanted to drop in and say, i hadn't died in what seems, not sure, lost track of last time i died on my warrior, then just an hour or so back, i got whacked. But... unlike most, i know EXACTLY what killed me. Mob hit like a Mac Truck, holy shit. It was a melee too, so that hit ... yea. Done. I don't generally read the mods on mobs, too much goin on, but. Woulda been interesting to see just what kinda dmg got past all my shit.

Anyway, was funny at the time. Definitely didn't need a combat log to know what got me. lolz.

Well, when you are lvl 90+, I think you focus more on NOT dying than DMG output.

I gave priority to defences on my build : Evasion + ES + Life + Res cap

Because, in this game you have mobs that throw projectiles barely visible (like the ones in Vaal Factory)

+ ground effects + shrines effects => visibility is not optimal.

I don't really mind loosing XP, but I want to know WHAT killed me to try avoid it next time.

Ive prob made 10 posts about the desire for a combat log myself and seems more players want to bitch about xp loss itself or being one shot than the possibility of a log to see the data and have insight into how to help themselves.

Most will say it will lead to more whining.

IMHO the whining would make more sense with facts.

If Im hit for 35k by some projectile from 2 screens away that would be a callout to balance that shit.

Not saying that happens just an example for players to have data to ask GGG for adjustments with accurate information.

The other benefit is you have a more direct view of what to change.

It is not always clear what the "wtf" killed me.
