Are you mad? How can you tell if someone is doing bad? By their enmity bar or something? I don't know about you but the last thing I'm doing is watching other players cast bars and movements while doing endgame. I'm doing that thing you claim is all you need to do. Mechanics. Of course, I'm not doing crap tier DPS thoughQuote:

They should add in parsing so that the times where the DPS contributes the most, people will know and commend them for it at the end of the run.

What you should do is let the community decide. Make a poll and you'll soon see the bulk of the community wants some sort of representation. The OP is 100% right, DPS are not accounted for nor rewarded. You can work your hardest and get zero comms. This needs to change

08-19-2017, 05:41 PMAphraelAmaranthalol, nice ad hominem, I'll humor you. You have no idea how I play the game. I haven't even got into endgame Savage yet and no one has complained about my lack of doing rotations and in fact, people commend me because I actually seem to know what I'm doing, without a parser! Gasp unbelievable I know.Quote:

Again, apparently there are ways to tell if a dps is doing crappy without a parser. There are other ways too improve without a parser. It's not necessary and again, if it was, SE would have built them into the game.
Not for sure what your problem is, I get commendations all the time for being a dps.Quote:

- What makes a game any more or less "built for a parser". If anything, XIV is built for a parser more most, in that it actually has dedicated datalogs by which to parse, rather than requiring network interception. WoW and others have this as well, but not all games that have parsers can make do with non-interceptive parsing.
- How do you intend to improve "as a group", when you have little idea how each person is faring? If you mean this in terms of a strategy meeting over relative potency spreadsheets, then I suppose this is possible. If you're talking "huddle up, and let's talk this out so we can all have our heads in the game", you'd be actively hampering that goal by neglecting objective performance metrics, likely irritating those who are already performing maximally, and would find yourself much less able to spot the problems as they occur.

LMAO non raider says we don't need parsers and thinks he's doing ok! Your point is invalid and further cements the OP. DPS do not get called out for doing bad DPS cos there's no way to tell. Parsers are needed cos i assure you, you'd get called out daily.

08-19-2017, 05:53 PMAphraelAmaranthaLol, we'll see since I am going to enter Savage soon. If I catch anyone is using parsers, I'll report them in an instant. I'll leave this here in case you missed it the first time:Quote:
