Would you like an in-game parser?

[KaivaC]

I would actually like to have a solo in-game parser. I think that would be pretty nice, then I could compare myself to other players in the same role, and upload my own numbers into Fflogs.

I say this as I realize that I haven't been parsed in about a month, and the majority of my other ones came back in October. So yeah...I want a solo parser.

Yes so I can measure myself easier / better.

One of the reasons I like to play MMO's is because you get better, your ilvl goes up and I always strive to become a better player, increase my skill, part of that is also increasing the amount of damage I deal regardless the fact that I'm a tank, we deal damage too and I always strive to take the maximum out of it.
At least we have ACT but an official in-game parser would be easier (and maybe more accurate), like there's not really an open API where the addons can take info from (which is also the reason why there are basically no addons for this game)?

I don't really see why this is a problem, is there something wrong with me for liking to improve myself and like having a number to show my DPS and how much it goes higher as my ilvl and my skill to play the job better improves?

no need parsers ingame, it's either kill or be killed, if u kill before u get killed then you good, if u get killed before killing then improve. "how to improve then?" that's your problem, stop cry like babies, no talk and git gud.

I wil say it again, most content can be done with 7. Even 2 players can have 1k to 1.5k dps less than 2 top dps and they can still beat the content. That's not the case here. People need to stop leeching.
Also when i farm, i rather 6 min runs over 10 min runs, by the time i did 2 runs on 6 min im doing 3-4 on the 10 min run. Also another example is, when you do content its team effort, not to put burden on some other players because you think its okay to do, so no buddy, you are very wrong.

Uh...no. Parsers are to help you improve your own DPS. Obviously, it's kill or be killed - you don't need a parser to tell you that. But a lot of players want to improve their own personal DPS. And need I remind you that you don't necessarily have to be at fault in order to be killed. O2S and O3S make it perfectly clear that one person can easily cause a raid to completely wipe. It's not a simple black and white solution.

This really made my day. It's as if you had no clue about what you're talking about and still manage to insert a "git gud". Amazing.

Remember kids, only the pro parser crowd is screaming "git gud" while being toxic.

For Dungeons, 24mans and Trials i wouldn't like an ingame parsing tool including leaderboards and personal rankings.

For normal Raid and SSS i would like an ingame parsing tool with full analysing possibilities from fflogs for personal only, including anonym leaderboards and personal rankings.

For Savage, Ex Trials and Ultimate I would like an ingame parsing option including the full analysing possibilities from fflogs and a full replay option with free camera movement. Including anonym Leaderboards and Rankings.

If an analysing possibility like fflogs is not included the complete parsing has no value and is only for e-peen stroking.

If i give a tool to the community it is their responsibility to use it like intended and they have to face the consequences of missuse and abuse.

I personally think that PC users got an advantage over PS4 ones.

Having the ability to actually SEE how much damage you are executing against a Mob gives them the upper hand to improve.

We PS4 user have to guess how well we are doing. Because we have no means of ACTUALLY knowing have well we are doing.

Yes , we have SSS but in an actual fight things change. For example, on ex death as a SMN , as a PS4 user I don't know if getting bahamut out before tentacles is a dps increase or a DPS loss than getting him out after flares? At the moment we are guessing but without actual numbers I have no idea but going for what I think is best.

I'm ALL in for a personal parser.

I know a lot of PS4 players feeling that way too. ACT may not be an official parser but it's tolerated and does give a non negligible advantage for PC players to improve.
Just for the sake of equality, SE should provide at least a tool to allow PS4 players to access dps, crit percentages, Hps over a fight and more if possible.
