add an in game parser please!!!

I really thought the training grounds was going to be a parser of some sort...

Why doesnt it tell you your damage at the end? have a "your best score" or "server best score" so you have something to compare to or how you need to improve? I hope they do some adjustments..

Being on ps4 I have wanted to know where I am at with dps. Sucks having to find someone with a parser all the time. The New SSS gives enough that you can get a good idea of your dps. http://www.2digitalgames.de Is what I use on my iPhone. Select the job you are on, the trial and then the % not finished or time remaining and you get a parse. Simple, helpful and while it doesn't give you the same info a parser on PC would, it isn't bad and can help you work on your dps or at least know where it is.

Yeah we don't need that... a damage meter of any kind promotes bad behavior.

Nope, that's not how it works. It's kind of like the phrase "guns don't kill people, people kill people" (sorry if this is in poor taste, I'm just using it to illustrate that an object only does what the operator wills).

Damage meters are like computers in that they can't do anything they're not told to do; they can't promote anything but data. However, an already terrible human CAN use them for negativity... which I think is closer to what you're getting at. It doesn't really change anything that's already been stated in this thread, though.



EDIT to clarify: I'm for damage meters because they're a tool. Whether they are wielded by good or evil, well... that's a risk taken with any tool ever made.

A chat box promotes bad behaviour, we need to remove this from the game ASAP. Without the chat box there will be no way people can be meanies.

The internet promotes bad behaviour. For the sake of the children, we should shut it down for good.

But then people would still whine and complain that they paid for the game and the post game challenge fights are to hard and need to be nerfed.

A chat box is required for the game to function at a basic level. A parser is not.

Sorry but I have played WoW so I know exactly where dps addons go. It is not needed, it will only make the community worse... why waste resources? If you are skilled at any level where a parser may help you should be able to figure out if you are doing good damage or not. If you are not skilled then a parer isn't going to help because you haven't even figured out the basic rotation.
