Worse idea ever. DPS meter only lead to elitism and kids yelling eachother.

Quick update for those guys who think theoriecrafting bring toxicity: NOOBS !

Theorycrafting isn't what brings toxicity. Such a thought comes from a toxic mentality.

DPS meters breed contempt for anyone who is deemed to be not pulling their weight, regardless of how good they are actually doing. Every MMO that has allowed a DPS meter has seen the community grow more and more toxic over time.

Theorycrafters don't require a DPS meter anyway. They're smart enough to know how to test things without seeing a little bar grow in a box on the screen.

Toxicity, dos meter and gate keeping, if all this 3 things meet up then game is gone. Cause 80% of players dont care about any meters and dont want to see toxicity, which is allready in the game.

All 3 things are a standard in big successful MMO's. It's not what kills a MMO.

A clunky combat system and no content is what will kill the game.

That's why most MMOs are not successful. I wonder if that's related....

a dps meter is highly needed when it comes to long time motivation and optimizing your specc and rota. no doubt that it brings some toxic elements but for all the players who want to get better in the game and see their progress throw numbers its a very important tool. i would say its THE tool.

Oh god no and thank god the license agreement for this game expressed any 3rd party programs to monitor or record damage or heals or performance will be grounds for an immediate ban. Should probably read the fine print on that one before suggesting it IN THE FORUM!!!

It is true. It was helpful in lost ark and would be helpful here.

Found the dude who always underperforms in DPS to the point the Tank AND healer is doing more DPS than him... you're just trash at every MMO you play bud

Lot of people will complain that it introduces toxicity etc., so what?
If you go into a dungeon and do 40% of the damage you're supposed to do, then you're holding back your group and waste everyone's time because you decided to do content you're not ready for.

Right now there is no need because we don't have any hard content.
But if this game will ever get hard content, raids etc. there is no way around it.

They can deactivate it for the casuals and the cry babys for Matchmaking dungeons whatever, but not giving the option to optimize builds, rotations, damage windows is just dumb.

Edit:. Thanks for the clown award, but the people who are against meters are those that will get kicked for pulling no numbers or get gatekeept from hard content by being friendly to the casuals holding them back.

FF14 is doing totally fine without any DPS meter.

If you need it, you're just bad at reading numbers and theory crafting. Skill issue.

FF14 has meters though

[sacpuncher]

can we maybe get a solo dps meter? something that shows just your numbers. that way we can at least theorycraft ourselves for best dps

Not officially, those are 3rd party and not fully allowed, just accepted as a grey zone. Could change at any time.

I mean go ahead and program one for TL then.

There should only be personal dps on dummies to practice / test builds and that´s it. No need for a dps-meter which lets you see how other players perform.

[★REM★]

No one read the tos where they say any kind of tool and or third party tool to calculate player dps in bannable.

TLTR: DPS meters are not allowed by the TOS and will never happen.

[Senketsu]

simple solution:
add DPS meter and an option to hide your dps for others
or just add a personal DPS meter

I just want to see my damage and improve my skills rotation...

[KingNiceGuy]

At least let us have a third party DPS meter like other MMOS. some of us actually want to know if we are good or bad at the game.
