PS4 damage meters

[ghostx1984]

Still waiting on them. You can't even go onto the ffxiv reddit without seeing people talking about them. It's a pretty big part of the game and rather insulting we still don't have any type of tool even outside of raids.

I'm pretty much done raiding until you add them. I'm not going to pay 18 dollars to move to a non ps4 server to play with pc players when you aren't going to treat ps4 customers with the same respect as pc players.

You've created an environment that is conducive to failure for ps4 players and there's really no point in wasting time raiding in your game when we don't have the same tools. And really if i'm not going to raid then collecting token gear is pretty pointless as well.

I suppose i'll do some pvp for a while and random crafting, but i can 100% guarantee that i will be done with this game if you do not address the lack of raid tools by the next expansion.

I've given you the benefit of the doubt here for months waiting for some type of meters.

First off you already are on a server that has both PC and PS4 players. There is no exclusive one system server only. As for respect PC players don't have a DPS meter as well so they are treating all sides the same. ONCE they implement a DPS meter(if they do) it will be for all platforms. The only difference is that PC players use third party tools to get the DPS meters/parsers and if they are reported they can get banned(it is against ToS to use such).

Addons are coming please look forward to it.

No that is complete bullshit. You can't even go onto the ffxiv reddit without reading about advanced combat tracker and what dps is required for this encounter or that encounter. The fcs like Lucrezia use them.

They aren't going to ban anyone because ALL the people doing high end content use them.

They think ps4 players are going to put up with not having the same tools and run this watered down nonsense to waste our time until they nerf the stuff that's actually fun, challenging and rewarding again. And that's simply not going to cut it. I'm asking for access to the same tools in a game that is supposed to be cross platform.

8 man premade groups should have access to meters.

[ghostx1984]

Square, your stance on damage meters is both disingenuous and cowardly.

Keep your nerfed,watered down content and allow us the same tools so that we can play the actual game on an equal level.

Nobody likes to have their time wasted. I've lost 2 solid ps4 raiders in the last week who came to the conclusion that your endgame was a waste of time. You can't improve on endgame content when you can't see who is doing what on the boss. I'm done carrying people in this game meters or no meters.

They are against ToS. If someone reported them due to abuse they would get banned. They are not tools that are part of FFXIV. They are third party tools. Go read the ToS. Also:

It's the policy of out of sight out of mind basically. The moment someone starts with your DPS is so and so you can report them and they will get a ban.

From the prohibited activites part:
Activities that destroy game balance
Using third party programmes or tools in FINAL FANTASY XIV is strictly prohibited since they allow users to gain an unfair advantage over other players. The use of programmes or tools within FINAL FANTASY XIV that allow certain continuous actions to be performed automatically are often referred to as absentee play, which is also prohibited in FINAL FANTASY XIV. Additionally and without limitation, during the course of an absentee play investigation, players may be requested to respond to or comply with a game master’s instruction. Failure to do so is considered a violation and may result in disciplinary action being taken against the account.

The following activities are also prohibited.
•Modifying, analysing, integrating and reverse engineering game data
•Utility creation and distribution
•Exploiting SQUARE ENIX programming that does not run as intended to gain profit or damage other players


If it can be proven you get a ban.

Also I'm not defending them. I want to have a DPS meter but Yoshi said that due to harassment issues they probably won't do it that way but as challanges that you need to beat in a certain time and that should give you an idea of your DPS.

Alreayd have reported and provided links to their youtube. They don't give a shit. THey just dont want PS4 users to have the same tools. And they will not clarify why they won't include them when they have done nothing to stop the use of them by pc players.

[ruskie]

They have clarified why they don't want to give people DPS meters.

"Talking about tools to monitor DPS damage made by players: at the moment we have no plans to introduce an official tool because I do feel that if we introduce this tool, the players who are enjoying the DPS role but don’t necessarily have the player skill of other players I think it’s going to make them really uncomfortable in the game and in the party they might be blamed for the results. We don’t want encourage that."

I am hoping that when they introduce addons we will be able to have that. I wouldn't mind a DPS tool but so far been doing fine without and kept improving(but that is my playstyle).

Add-ons won't work on consoles.
