Color tells part of the story but isn’t fully accessible for everyone, so we use contextual positioning and punctuation to reinforce what color is communicating.
Here’s a breakdown:
Color
White: Outgoing damage
Yellow: Outgoing critical damage
Orange: Outgoing damage over time
Red: Incoming damage
Green: Healing
Tan: Crowd Control
Punctuation
* : Blocked damage
! : Critical damage and healing
( ) : Absorbed
Position
Left of player: Incoming damage
Right of player: Incoming healing
Bottom right of player: Incoming crowd control
Inside player: Incoming damage over time
Above target: Outgoing damage
Inside target: Outgoing damage over time
Right of target: Outgoing crowd control
Above friendly target: Outgoing healing

@Lightninvash Right!!!?!?!?! Maybe this thread is actually working.........thanks for sharing this!
thank you for making this thread! every time I play, I marvel at the tiniest details and my thoughts trail off to thinking of how long, exactly, it took for that particular part to be made. I know nothing of how anything works in the game-making world, so it's that much more for my mind to take in.breathtaking. beautiful. clever. hilarious at times. thank you for working so hard on a game we love so much!

I think just from the fact 2 Devs made comments(one removing the negativity yay!) on the post that they in fact are reading this onethey like seeing posts like this
We as customers PAY for not having a clue and feelings are nothing more than that . Facts however speak for themself . Facts get repeated until acted upon wich can be measured by result . I realy dont care about efforts made or not ,icare about result . realistic is fact based , optimistic feeling based . How can we take advantage ? thats just silly .Thealteregoroman wrote: »
i am happy to see some ppl are only here to point out what is wrong with the game , which is only when the game crashes or hardfreezes which is way to much , which is only why i come here latley . and sensoring is just bad .
@qrichou I understand how you feel, however WE as the consumer DO NOT HAVE a clue what is going on within their world. We are assuming they aren't doing anything......if ZOS are in fact busting their *** then I among most would feel pretty bad if we consistently bash them. I made this thread so that the people that actually enjoy this game for all the HARD WORK already invested get heard. I also hope some of the ZOS employees don't feel we take advantage of them.
That's all. I understand your concerns and I know you are annoyed but we should remain optimistic of this games future. sometimes I feel like this community comes off like spoiled children.
anyways thanks for sharing how you feel.
What's the goal to be positive ?
Tell the truth is more positive, it is more useful. I am
I am realistic for MMO. I really enjoy ESO, the immersiv', the lore, WE HAVE THE BEST COMMUNITY in this game ! The graph' are so beautiful =D
But ZOS choices for PvE PvP class balance, the DLCs, the lead design, the lack of expertise in technical issues. Please take a look back since 2014 !
Well, to sum up :https://youtu.be/o33iczl2PxE
You can not be only positive if you are objective. Something wrong, the best thing it is to be you not to pretend and be a fan boy.
I am not playing this game with frustration, I really love it but on the whole game goes from a huge potential to something with disappointing results.

I truly love this game. It's so very beautiful! The detail! The stories!
So many funny, sad, zany, wacko, compelling characters!
I love being able to solo, to move along or just explore at my own pace. Or, to group up if the fancy strikes me.
I love co-operative play. I love being able to help and/or interact with others along the way or being helped by some kind stranger.
I love the ESO community -- so unlike any other MMORPG I've ever played.
Thank you, ZoS. You've given a very positive experience. I look forward to upcoming DLCs as I enjoy the current content.
Keep up the good work, folks!
Minor imperfections are just that . . minor!
Non positive posts are off topic in a positive forum thread @houimetub17_ESO. That's forum maintenence. But i do appreciate the creativity behind your post

just swap positive for negative , is the argument still valid? and it is possible to make a negative opion in an constructive way without personal flaming toxic etc comment . Like : i as an adult player on an adult game love to freely speak out my anger on a forum for that game about the long wait for know game bugs without being moderated , sensored and monitored .

How can you have a commercial about the Thieves Guild with no Khajiit? This is like Fishmas without the fish!

By far the best thread on these boards at the moment. It is depressing to read almost any other thread - so much doom and gloom and the sky is falling! Thanks for this. I think I grew up in a different time where you just played the game (playing since Atari - lol). If you got frustrated you just doubled down and figured it out. I play the game I am given - if I was as unhappy as some people I read on here I would have turned it off, walked away and tried something else.
I've had some epic moments lately - defeated Maelstrom Arena (normal) for the second time and was way better. Also, finally took down Dragonstar Arena (again normal) and that was so FREAKING EPIC!
Love it - can't wait every night to log on and do some crafting, maybe get a gold temper, run a dungeon, chat to guildies or just wander around.
Yup - fanboy.
