FOR PC there are no options in settings to disable (or enable) combat text in game. The only option is font size. There are already highlights and icons symbolizing VULNERABLE! and IMMOBILZED! and FORTIFIED! (Etc). I do not need it spammed on my screen 24/7 to where I can’t see the game. It’s like playing a word simulator. Please give us options to turn off and on these combat texts, or let us choose text or symbols. Options. You do all this work to make the game nice and it’s ruined by letter spam. Options.

Bumb it up. There was hot post on reddit about thiss issue with around 1k upvotes Reddit - Dive into anything let us choose communicates that we want to see on our screen. In current state endgame is one big fest of fonts. Not all are comfortable with this style of playing. Alot of ppl just want to enjoy this game in d1/d2 style.

Agreed. People just want to enjoy the actual game of seeing the art and spell effects and monsters. It cheapens the game. It is tacky to have this level of visual redundency. The OPTION to allow us to enable or disable combat text hurts no one, and only improves the game visually for those that want it. Side note - On console they do not get these combat texts like PC.
I will continue every week to post about this on all platforms possible. Takes me less than 5 mins. Will keep bringing it up till it is hopefully changed.

Agreed! The amount of text on my screen is beyond annoying when trying to track my damage numbers.

The more beautiful a game, the more an obligation the designers have to avail the customer options to minimize HUDs and TEXT as much as possible. I’ve never imagined having to suffer tolerating text over graphical action like this! (“Vulnerable”) It’s genuinely incredible to me that the narcissism of the designers - who apparently assumed everyone likes to look at fonts instead of fighting - was so absolute that not only did they default the feature, they locked it! No options! And it’s bad enough I can’t turn off dialogue text (they can always use a visual que to designate a talking character as an alternative to actually showing the dialogue), but they duplicated it in the bottom right dialogue chain - ANOTHER Subtraction-by-Addition idiocy betraying the game-reality so otherwise evoked. It’s especially frustrating because this looks like the Diablo I’ve been waiting for since 1997, and all this beauty is not only destroyed but mocked by the idiotic solipsistic directors who owe their artists - and customers - an apology. And a FAST F’N FIX!!! ( (I bought D3 3X! For the 360, PS4 and Series X. I bought D2 and Lords of Destruction 2X because the first was stolen - such was my Diablotude. And when my PC couldn’t play Diablo 1, I upgraded. And now all I feel is angry. And Vulnerable. Vulnerable. Vulnerable. Vulnerable. Vulnerable. Vulnerable. Vulnerable. Vulnerable. Vulnerable. Vulnerable. Vulnerable. Vulnerable. Vulnerable. Vulnerable. Vulnerable. Vulnerable. Vulnerable. Vulnerable. Vulnerable. Vulnerable. Vulnerable. Vulnerable. Vulnerable. Vulnerable. Vulnerable…

It’s ridicoulus that they are right now spending their time for cutting elites from the dungeons istead give us a little option to turn off all this ugly text. They are dont realize that for tons of players its compleatly killing spirit of the diablo game. Instead enjoying good graphics and fights we are forced to play font simulator.

This is a HUGE problem within the game. I am trying builds and want to see ONLY damage numbers but all I can see is VULNERABLE… 100% of all enemies are VULNERABLE if you run exploit so this text is spammed 24/7 like a tradebot in WoW… We should be able to turn off these lame texts that in reality should have been visual effects on enemies or an effect on their healthbar, but they are boring texts that clutters the screen.

Honestly the Vulnerable word spam is so absurd, its to the point of occluding damage numbers. I know how much damage my Basic skill does but Core skills forget it.

It is out of control honestly. Needs disable/enable option

I can’t understand how cluttering the screen with VULNERABLE in massive text (when I have text scale set to small) was the final decision vs something like a curse effect icon overhead like in D2.
Our health pool shows a blue crack when vulnerable, why not a small icon like that over a mob, or even better… beside the top health bar showing the debuff.
I don’t mind seeing damage text IF I could only show crits like in D3 and set the size of the font smaller than the available options. Having the ability to decide what I want to see on screen seems like a given, especially how I thought D4 was supposed to move away from the arcadey vibe D3 had.
TL:DR
-Ability to select status text and damage types shown
-More font size options
-Small debuff icon over mob head like D2 and/or status next to mob health bar
