This is an odd thing to say when you are starting a new combat tracker thread.
The issue with all of this is that thing that you are saying we should do, that is exactly what I originally started arguing we should be able to do.
However, we can't.
This game will not have a .txt log file like that. If it did, there would have never been any threads on this matter.
The idea to put it in game was a compromise from that position, not the original goal.
Most people would just keep quiet and chip away, but no, the e-peen people must make the threats in some vain attempt to display misguided superiority. They couldn't learn to play without extra tools elsewhere and they want those extra tools in Ashes or 'Ashes won't be good'. What a bland and bothersome escapade we keep repeating.
I just want to point out, I have never stareted a thread on this topic.
I am, however, a master of carrying on conversations.
If you think this is about shaming people, you've misinterpreted the purpose of the OP. I also fear that you've been running with the wrong kinds of guilds/groups if this is your view on raiding.
This is true. It's already an established fact that the devs won't support third party addons. I can also see the argument against the DPS meter as it pulls attention away from the game/fight/mechanics, which is why I'm proposing this compromise.
Nope, just been ruining my mind by reading all of the 'We need a DPS meter / parser / damage report threads. According to a lot of people, that is what happens. I have been very lucky to have found guilds where people are mostly very nice.
That's awesome, I'm glad you've had those positive experiences. My guilds have been pretty cool and chill too.
Really? Does every game have to be elitist minmaxing e-sport game?
Can we please discuss other things?
How about combat trackers?
you're new here so let me tell you how it is: new people dont want to use same thread so they remake once a day. The forum admins dont want to enforce spam code of conduct rule so said users can go on doing this. Lastly, what are your views on multi boxing?
I'm against them because I don't want to use them. If they are in the game I'm going to be forced to use them.
Also there are going to be a lot of class combinations that will be good that won't be able to use them. There are probably going to be a lot of classes that bring utility that the stats are blind to. Like how in classic WoW Paladins did the most damage in the game that can't be tracked by the game because it was through buffs.

Not sure how they work, are they like the logs in wow?
It's probably better, but i wouldn't mind if they dropped both.
Enjoy the game, if you fail on a boss try to change something, have fun.
That's what i think they want us to do.
My point, though, is that i wish there would be other discussions on this forum, or keep all the dps meter shit in the same thread, and not generate new threads for every thought you have on the subject.
You can't use third party add ons. If you only have a chat window with the information this means you need to manually enter this data elsewhere to analyze it. If you try to automate this process, I believe this is an addon scraping the IS client.
If someone finds a way, then you just get a tracker after the combat is done and analyze data anyway.
not even noobs in most cases it fools
no no no...this one's different. More different than
this one ,or this one,or this one,or THIS one.
(only went back 2 pages with last updated of 8/1 to get those links.
Masterful. Hahahah
That you are.
You're still playing WoW... *hug* Hang in there buddy, better days are on the horizon.
you're right this is completely different
This is true and I respect that. I've spammed the forums with more posts than you and I've only been here for a week or so.
Me too. xD

parsers can check that now. look at dancer in ff14 XD, also if youre a high end guild you cant get a "feel" for your dmg as opposed to others if youre in a pure dps role. if you feel your class combo is sub par to another you have limited ways to test yourself against others. they need to find a happy medium between the pros and cons of a dps meter
Imagine approaching Dark Souls or Monster Hunter with that attitude. "Unless the game forces me to parse invisible data, it's not complex enough mechanics". Ridiculous.
It's about having perfect information, when the world is trying to convey itself as natural, breathing. Having imperfect information is part of life and informs so many decisions we make as humans, taking that uncertainty away just turns it all into a math problem.
I believe it's happening because Steven has been doing all those interviews with very popular streamers and keeps saying to bring feedback to them and come talk in the forums. So that's what they are doing, they want dps meters so they are talking about them. Are they doing it the best way and reading past threads and adding to them? No, but the fact that there are these many threads just shows how important this topic is to many MMORPG players.
I've played MMOs with and without DPS meters and I've played BDO which doesn't even show a number when you hit someone or something, I'm fine with either decision .If the game is fun people will play it meters or not. I'm not sure if it's even a debatable thing, but since Steven says they want all the feedback possible then here we are lol.

but you cant tell who is lacking in dps and how they have to improve if you cant see a physical representation.
