Parsers

[Clavaat]

It's kind of hard to read the battle log compared to ffxi and since the game relies on you to be spammy and dodge, it's hard to keep track of what everyone is doing.

Most of the damage output is reliant on a proper rotation. There are signs a DPS is faltering based on what buffs they put on/debuffs they put on. Example: MNK losing GL3, DRG not having Heavy Thrust, BRD not keeping up Venomous/Windbite, etc. Obviously this is fairly fight-dependent and difficult to do, but a good leader will be able to keep track of a lot of things at once.

To be fair, it is not easy to catch dps derping a phase as oppose to an whole fight. But it is pretty obvious who it is, considering they will be making other mistakes in conjunction to just not damaging right.

SE's DPS checks are very very lenient. You can pretty much eyeball who is hitting what to know that a fail dps check means some one is hitting the wrong thing or out right dead.

Again I have seen parses of all dps going over 200 and the jail is still breaking late. It's impossible unless the epeen is fully active there and everyone is more interested in parsing their titan then doing the content.

who needs to improve or kick.

Maybe for a T5 i understand. If its Primal fight even with a low dps it can be done. So many Ex fights in early days were won with like 5-6 players remaining.

if the low dps is very obvious, then i agree kick is granted, by if someone need a parser to see the -5% difference, thats a waste.

Again, it depends on the content, i don't think Primal or such lol like thornmarch should be even taken that serious as a hardcore dps check.

Only fight i would consider looking up report is T5, but that is if we suck on dps check areas, T5 usually been on fails during phases like twister.

I think people put too much into this DPS race where it is not required, for example, if a pt can kill a titan heart, that pt can kill titan. i don't care about dps after that(tho more dps is always better ofc), now its more about dodging mechanics.

I think parsers are bannable?

But what's with this community? Why is everyone so overly sensitive here? Parsers have been in every mmorpg I've played for awhile now and no one cares. Even if their dps sucks they'll usually say "It's a game get over it" or "Whatever bro, you going to buy me a better weapon? Didn't think so" but here we have people crying and dry heaving over a toilet because they got kicked from a party. Now someone's feelings are hurt because their dps sucked? Have none of you ever played a mmorpg? Or had any real problems in life? >.>

Because it's fight club. Get over that it's illegal and wrong.

What? I already said I think they're bannable. I don't care if they are or aren't. I've never used one in any game and I don't see the point in them. My point was is really going to "/wrist" because someone said his dps was bad?

The OP's problem is the parser was being rude to him for his performance, which, many people have already said, isn't acceptable. But calling for them to be banned because of one jerk? That's ridiculous. Hence the "over sensitivity".

Saying his dps sucks, when he probably knows himself it's not up to par really isn't being rude. But my whole point was usually the person is question will say something back to shut the other person up and live continues. I just don't know why people get so hung up over something, that someone said and they don't even know the person and will never see them again. ._.

He wasn't being rude. He asked a legitimate question. Since there are people out there who troll dungeons.

Quoting myself from page 17:

Anyway, what is so bad about asking if someone is trolling? You would think he had kicked your dog or something the way you reacted to it.

To be rude, you pretty much need to make a personal attack.

[KyroeFelix]

Well then, the OP deserves to be burned at the stake.

but when people just say "you suck" then yeah they are scum.

This led me to believe the parser was being rude. The OP's a liar! Which is probably why he stopped posting in here...

If you take on a new job and find your colleagues irritating, do you enforce a rule for them to change their behavior and insist they cater to your every whim and fancy? No, you either find a middle ground and consensus or leave the job and look for one that suits your character.

...Bad real life comparison? Sure, I can do that too: If I were the boss (pt leader), I'd actually just fire said person and get someone else who can do the job.

You must of missed Yoshi talking about it. FF14's stance on parser is, fight club rule. If you want to test how ban-able it is, please be banned quickly..

Show me where Yoshi specifically mentions a parser is against the TOS or User Agreement please. I would like to know.
