Most likely spells that literally say they do between X and Y ammount of threat, will go into the chat (like damage) so that you can see....

1: how much threat you did
2: if it criticals or not, and how much it was for

Yes that does indeed go into chat but the update notes talked about "hate position changes" which I read as referring to the position on the hate list.

It also shows Taunts/ detaunts with positional changes as an extra text, but not if you actually change a hateposition.

Exactly if you go up/down in position from DPSing that position change will not go to the log, but if you do a position change via ca/spell the that will be sent to the log, that's what it looks like to me. I haven't had a chance to get a full on group going to really test but just from some random person and I testing that's what it seem to be doing.

Yes, that would be in line with what Rothgar told me, your actual hate list position is not sent down to the client.

may have been mentioned or requested already, but how bout something simple, and less stupid looking than the bubble and weapons.

all i care about is the number, i don't need a huge picture telling me ###, when ### is all i care about.

but i guess SOE wants to be cute for the general public...

:D
