parse for ps4 users !

[Lexia]

Just asking SE to add parse for ps4 users I don't know why they don't add it for ps4 till now ! and the problem is all pc users have it and use it , so they don't ask SE to add it it's not my problem that parse illegal or not what I know and see that all of pc user use it. why should I ask pc user to tell me how much my dps was ? lol we are playing same game same payments and he can improve he's dps any time, how can I make new rotation with out parse hard to improve our skills without parse so SE pls add parse in 3.1 thank you.

I doubt "all" 100% of PC users use 3rd party parsers

I can attest that at least 0.0000001% of the population aren't.

Not anymore at least, ACT isn't needed to get visible TP bars anymore.

I had a great idea! How about the integrated parser saves the general player base the trouble of harassing individuals who obstinately refuse to learn their class, by having integrated mockery? For example, if you're pulling 250 in Ex Bismarck, it'd flash messages on your screen like "yaaar, you couldn't spear a goldfish with that, l2p loldrg", or "sorry, your class requires skill now like the others!" to bards. So there'd be class-based insults and general ones such as "go back to normal".

Also, if you plant yourself in a savage alex party and pull less than 400 as a dps role, angry red letters declaring "WGHRHGKAFAHGALGHT!!!!" in massive font size scroll slowly across your screen as your character is gradually bumped down to level 59.00 as punishment.

no..
add a screen adjustion option like PC user have >_>
cant play this game on 16:9 on my 16:9 TV, PS4 only offers <-<
so I stay on PS3 playing it at 4:3 -> every1 looks at normal weight!

Never used a parser, see no need for one.

Fully support parser for a ps4. Even if it was only activated upon striking dummy battles or savage I would still be okay with that. As a ps4 user it's a handicap to not be able to actively assess and improve your damage numbers. Knowing your dps number is extremely important in this game if you are doing very high level content. It's not optional in this manner. Teams want to know it, the player should know it so they can see their performance. Introduction of the ability to see my own damage numbers would be absolutely helpful to me as a player. Especially since you don't show dot ticks in the current damage log. So when I do a self parse I have to average out the ticks which gives a less accurate range when averaging the parse. At least put the dots ticks (or total damage from ticks) in the damage log.
>>>> mutilate wears off for 1200! damage.

Would love one. Have so many things I would love to test with my SMN right now!

[Malevicton]

there will always be jackass or jerk
no one know how many will be there if it is implement officially
therefore, i can only relied on my experience
and i rather weight it higher

Relying on your own experience to inform your own personal opinions is one thing. Expecting other people to be swayed by it is entirely another. Which is why it's not a very respected way to debate/discuss/argue.

I'm still waiting for a better argument than "I have a feeling it might be the case" for why anyone thinks parsers will cause any increase at all (let alone significant increase) in harassment, griefing, or just general rudeness.

People getting harrased for their DPS does happen, a lot actually. I entered a Fractal run not long ago and the tank literally told the DRG that his DPS was horrible, that he was completely 'F-wording' up his rotation and was generally just being obnoxious towards him. The DPS was fine and it was a Fractal run. Extremely unnecessary and they kicked the poor guy.

A personal parser would be good but otherwise I can see why SE wouldn't want to add one. Some of the FF community can be pretty harsh.

again, though... This is another "I saw it happen once so obviously it's widespread and caused by parsers" both of which are pretty unfounded. Not to mention it makes me wonder what the drg's rotation was... Not all disagreements, even heated ones, are harassment. Harassment is rapidly becoming a buzzword like elitist or toxic, all three of which now basically refer to "behavior I didn't like to be around."

Assuming the people in your group were really just awful people though, how would a parser have made things worse? "omg your dps is terrible go kill yourself" would've just been "omg your dps is under 300 kill yourself." Obviously neither is good, but why is the latter worse?

So, one more time: How do parsers cause or increase the amounts of negative behavior?
