Anyone know of a way to change back to the small numbers that rise above your head for damage?? So friggin huge now I have a hard time selecting attac characters with all the numbers flying around so large.
Please state if you have found anything in options
Damage numbers (soo HUGE :/ )

Haven't found anything, but I have to agree...new damage numbers and healing numbers are WAY too big.

I'll bet 10 platinum that this will be like the last interface changes, and it's going to be "tough, live with it".

Hmmm, I don't like this either. Pictures of me using Triple Chop and Cyclone Axe on 20+ trolls while enchanted with Live Vicariously and Vigorous Spirit come into mind though. It's gonna be hell

Change the screen sizment. That should help.
Grasping Darkness
and to further add to the "cartoony" effect the numbers also bounce >.>
blakecraw
and they go flying off the top of the screen. the other ones kind of discretely dissolved, but these are like balloons. very distracting. please please please allow a way to swap between dmg/healing/xp styles
i do like the ability to have a picture of the skill (instead of like -37 Spiteful Spirit it shows a picture of the skill icon) since they do stand out more like that

Just went trapping with my ranger at troll cave near droks... Damage numbers took up a huge portion of my screen.
The new vials of dye are crap to...

Looks like they are trying to make it look like old rpg games..will take time to adjust but they aint that bad.

once again anet FORCES us to adapt...
while a tiny little button could switch between two popup styles ...

Wel i love the huge numbers! and i like the fact that it shows wot attacks the enemys are using on u ^^

I love the big numbers it gives a different look/feel to the game. I don't see why so many people are complaining I don't think they are all that big people act like it blocks your whole view of the screen. I have my screen size maxed so that might also be the reason for them not looking so big to me, but either way I think they were a nice addition maybe an option for the people that don't like it to turn it off would be nice but then how would they display the icons next to the damage for the spells? They would be so tiny.
Poison Ivy
I actually think it's fun, and they show the Icon on what hit you. Promotes gameplay in my opinion.
leeky baby
i HATE it worst thing about the update
Sertu
indeed omg there huge. Would be funny 2 see that during a battle against 15 smitecrawlers. But then they nerfed that as well :'(
Qual
Some like the new numbers, most don't. I HATE them, I really hate them...
And don't say live with it... I think they should put in the option, so we can decide if we want old numbers or new HUGE ones. :-(

I think this can contribute to lag. If you have a bunch of numbers jumping around that just adds to graphics demand and could cause more lag

I love it, way more clear. and graphics demand =/= lag, lag is when it takes too long reaching the server's, causing skills and things you do not to register properly.

LOVE THEM ANET!! Please if you have to do something about them..just make an option to remove them, do not take them away from the game. There are some people that like the new numbers and you will statisfy all if you just make an option in the interface menu to take them away.

Two words come to mind when I play now. Well more than two words, most of them not pleasant atm but as far as this subject goes.
INFORMATION OVERLOAD!!!!
Its tough as shit to concentrate on any tasks when you play now as you have way too much information popping up on the screen and try as you might you cant ignore it.
HA calling became more difficult because my mind(even though I tell it not to) looks at all the new pretty POPUPS. The numbers are huge, then you have the skills popping up by the numbers doing the little look at me dance, then you have the bar to the side showing what hit you, which already was shown for you in midscreen. Freaking A. Way too much stimulus in an already intensely stimulating area.

Let's just say eoe bombing grawl was fun with the new changes.....distracting fun.
Snakelet
I think another problem with the new numbers is that they are gradient filled and that sometimes makes them very hard on your eyes...they sometimes mix into the environment :S which is hard to believe seeing as they are so large :P
The Pointless
If you ask me, it looks easier to read, but then again, I haven't seen it in action, because I'm still waiting for the DL to finish

BIG NUMBERS ARE AWESOME
NOW I CAN SEE THEM WITHOUT SQUINTING
AND ALSO I LOVE SEEING HOW MANY X7 JAUNDICE GAZE AND X5 FETID GROUND ARE BEING STACKED ON ME BY THE ROTS WHILE CHEST RUNNING
nice addition

I absolutely HATE and DESPISE the new numbers
PLEASE for the love of GOD give me an option to turn them off!

Same here....I want less on my screen, not more. Would prefer to have a choice to turn the numbers, and especially the mini spell icons OFF!!
Tozen
I LOVE THE NEW CHANGE.
It feels like I'm doing so much more damage now!

It will take some time to get used to but it is not that bad.
But i really love the index of what enemies have thrown at you. I was solo'ing in the fissure and the spiders managed to get like x500 Called Shots until the counter resetted because there were only a few of them left

As much as I hate the massive numbers I DESPISE having the little skill icon instead of the skill name.
Ebony Shadowheart
The numbers are a bit LARGE and I have my interface size set to 'small' with a 1280x1024 resolution. I have numbers everywhere while MMing. It gets kind of hard to not be distracted when you have red, green, blue, and purple numbers flying around like made. I'll also agree that these numbers are rather cartoonie, which truly made me laugh. I was fine with the old pop ups, but I guess I could adapt to these of they would just make them a little SMALLER. Or give us the option to make them smaller. The list of how many times I've been hit with what gets a little annoying though; someone said you can shut that off? Please share, I haven't went hunting for that yet.

Agree, I hate the size and cartoony look of the new numbers!!!

I don't really have an opinion about the size of the numbers yet. But I love the Damage Monitor! That what the... How did I just die.... feeling. Well now you can see it. Also when 55-ing Hydras outside Augry, I could see how many of them had dropped Meteor without counting. That helps when I'm farming half asleep
eudas
i dislike the big numbers as well. it reminds me of NES games... cartoony and useless simply for the effect of making things feel busy.
it needs to be configurable -- a button saying "small damage numbers" would be fine.
everything else in the update was great -- but please, anet, stop monkeying around with the interface.

@Painbringer - that's cute, and somewhat true.
I was out soloing with my warrior and Triple Chop inundates you with numbers floating everywhere. Very distracting. If you are with a party for a mission, I imagine the numbers would obscure some of the foes.
I vote to make size optional on the numbers, but so far I like the damage monitor.
