When I got hit by a fire bat, it burned ;) The damage was generally less than a full hit point, but it definitely showed up floating away from my health gauge. If someone can upload a reproducible case, I'm happy to take another look :)

(0019794) Toll (reporter) Feb 25, 2012 1:24 pm	Oh! I see what it is now, and why I thought it didn't damage you. It does damage you, but it doesn't show the red text saying you've been damaged.

(0019795) x4000 (administrator) Feb 25, 2012 1:25 pm	What red text? In the lower left? It's definitely showing it there for me...

(0019796) Toll (reporter) Feb 25, 2012 1:32 pm	Yeah, in the lower left, right above the health orb. It shows the initial hit, but not the subsequent continuous fire damage, at least not for me.

(0019797) x4000 (administrator) Feb 25, 2012 1:35 pm	That _should_ be impossible. The meter at the bottom left just looks at actual health differentials every second or so. It doesn't know or care how your health changed, it just looks at net changes on those intervals. So unless you are healing during the time you are being damaged, it should show the cumulative damage from that second or so.

(0019798) Toll (reporter) Feb 25, 2012 1:42 pm	Could it be a sensitivity issue? As in, I'm taking less than 0.1 health damage per second, so it doesn't show it because of that? Kinda grasping at straws as to what could cause it... I've got a dragon lieutenant closeby, in case you want a save for it, but I get the same results no matter what the cause of the fire is.

(0019799) Toll (reporter) Feb 25, 2012 1:51 pm	... Huh. That's interesting. I just now noticed that I don't get the green text when the health orbs heal me after I've been damaged by burning either, but they show for every other kind of damage. And since fire only ever takes me down 0.1 health, it's likely the same cause.

(0019800) Toll (reporter) Feb 25, 2012 1:57 pm	Oi, funky. While testing, I noticed the following: I was at 532.6 health after having burned a bit. I then ran into the same fire bat, which took me down to 532 health. However, the red text said -1.1 instead of -0.6. Attaching a pair of screenshots.

(0019803) x4000 (administrator) Feb 25, 2012 2:43 pm	Hmm, that's something I'll have to look at more, but probably not this week -- thanks for the added sleuthing. It's definitely some sort of sensitivity thing.
