Are we really getting a Dps parsing dummy?

[Mature]

Just out of curiosity . I remember reading this somewhere this week but it kinda sounded a bit off from the translation.

Personally I think is an amazing idea in order for us to get better (to improve your base dps) with a clear idea of our true damage.

Having played fighting games for over 3 decades, a training mode was a must for me to get better and create New ways to strong combos. I know a fighting game and a rpg are a totally different thing BUT the end goal is the same.

Was just wondering if this was true. As it would be ideal

A randomly linked google doc with questionable translation methods and sources seems to claim so.

While it'd be nice if we did get it, I doubt it will solve most cases of poor DPS.

I guess an analogy would be: most people who could benefit from spending some quality time at the gym don't.

I'd be more happy if they introduced a fight parse instead (be it public or otherwise.)

Why not give a personal parser though. A dummy parser only gives you a general idea of what you can do, not how you're actually doing in a real fight situation.

Honestly its probably more PS3 limitations. Its a lot easier to free up UI memory space when youre in 'dummy training mode' rather than just adding the UI pop-up on top of whats already there in a dungeon/raid. This should suffice though... its not real world training but itll still allow us to practice and tweak rotations and compare with other classes. Once you have that then applying it to a real fight is really just "dummy rotation" + avoid getting hit.

Who knows. Maybe theyll get innovative and throw in an actual script for the dummy to toss out low damage AoE patterns to avoid.

I don't really care they add one or not, but if they did do post fight results I'd assume it wouldn't be much different or difficult as the results they tally for every individual participant in pvp

I propably get alot of hate for saying this but PS3 holds this game as an hostage, this game could have so many awesome features if it was only for PS4 and PC. The day PS3 support drops is the day of TRUE reborn for FFXIV.

Whether you get hate or not, you speak the truth.

I don't see this being true. The reason is the entire game was designed and coded around PS3 being included and the system doesn't seem very flexible. Just for example there were some minor changes talked about before like cool down resets after full team wipes and they couldn't Because the way everything was. When they get rid of PS3 I think the game will improve, but only minorly short of an entire rehaul on the system. And I just don't seem them doing that.

Although very true for "features" in general, I don't think a parser has anything to do with client-side hardware issues, even for a PS3.

The data is already there, it's spit out to the battle tab. Nothing extra has to constantly flow from server to client. Nothing extra has to run on the client.
The server will just read the battle tab info that's already there, do some processing (again, on the server) and then spit a single result out to the client. The single result can be spit out at any time, it's not something that will put any pressure on client hardware.

The battle tab is already sending way more numbers over to the client every fight, during the fight. A parser will only send 1 more, and it can even wait until the character is "out of battle" to do it during "down time." I think the PS3 can handle it. ...I think my calculator could handle it
