Dps meter

[blc]

So there is a lost ark dps meter out that that read network packages coming in to your computer and filter out the ones going to same port as the lost ark client.

Technically the dps meter never touch the game, read its memory or modify/send any data. It work just like a firewall that filter out some packages and summarize it to you for your convenient, so it is actually against TOS? Anyone read that blob of text?

Also if devs wanted to prevent it they could just not send the exact damage other players do over the network? We dont see it in game in pve anyway so why distribute it?

Depending how you read the TOS (as always it is open to debate), it might be 2.5 (i) - and tbh the TOS of Lost Ark is very concise compared to usual TOS agreements.

Seeing how AGS is acting (New World and LA) I would say that the company will tell you that you "otherwise tampered with associated game content".

The DPS meter was talked about a day or so ago on the subreddit after someone claimed it might be a malicious program. The thread was eventually locked but not before a mod or someone came in and said that using it was modifying game files and was very likely to get your banned. Considering LA uses Easy Anticheat I would be extremely wary of using any program that even so much as looks at Lost Ark funny considering how twitchy it can be at times.

na it is on github open source. I read the code and it work just as I described.

DPS Meter in WOW is part of the game now.
DPS Meter in FF14 is use at your own risk BUT if you talk about it in-game you will get suspended

AGS has already banned VPN's and other things that other games don't bother to do.

If you use this parser thing you have no expectations of safety of your account as AGS likes doing blanket decisions whenever it feels like

Also if people start using DPS meters to be jerks to each other.... it's going to come crashing down sooner rather than later due to complaints from everyone about how even MORE toxic certain groups are becoming due to it

There´s no addons or plugins scene at the moment as far as i know. There´s no API so far like LUA (WOW) or Dalamud (FFXIV).

There´s an option to use memory reads and network sockets like ACT does on FFXIV, but that requires a lot of tinkering and a huge communty backing.

It’s a act (advanced combat tracker) plug-in and no it doesn’t change anything at the files. It effectively hooks itself at the files and saves the number data as a log. So if you don’t go out telling everyone you use it. Nothing happens.

Funny enough less people use specific dalamud and more simple act with the ff 14 plugin. Also dalamud can be used for way way more then just parsing.

The game keeps track of damage and healing done, the number of staggers caused, of items used, and damage prevented through shields. These are used to display some performance percentages for the MVP(most valued player) in some group activities such as raids.

It's a frustrating system since you only see your percentages on this screen if you get picked as the MVP. For example if the MVP is a healer who gets the award simply because of how much healing they did, the others have no idea about how big their damage percentages exactly were and vice versa.

If these stat screens get improved later on so we have access to at least our own percentages along with displaying those of the MVP, it would help a lot.

I support seeing your own numbers.

Probably the same reason why the damage done medal was removed from monster hunter world, people with small pp's boasting their high damage or complaining about other's out of sheer vanity. What else could be the reason?

Luckily lost ark has the training grounds where one can go anytime to test their builds with vastly more variation than in games that have a dps meter, such as wow.
