Anet policy is flawed, they take no responsibility and one of solutions for this clear security issue is creating built in dps meter and ban 3rd party tools hacking game client. There are also other options but they are not part of this thread. Monitoring combat data is not monitoring your account, it’s been stated time and again, also CC checks Combat Meters to ensure they aren’t doing anything they aren’t supposed to be doing, this too has been stated many a time. So please show how monitoring combat data is monitoring your account, remember Combat data is read from the Combat meter users client and own machine and doesn’t pull anything about your account that isn’t public data to begin with. So please enlighten us on how your account is being monitored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why they have not added that feature yet. If they don't have pride in their game, they should can it and make a new game. Either they have faith in their product or they don't.. and since they have made content that is for the most part a DPS challenge, they should embrace that design aspect and put the meter in.

For all we know CC checks them in his off time which doesn’t take or devote any resources from the game. Checking for compliance and functionality is quite a bit different then building from scratch.

Thank you for providing good argument FOR implementing anet supported in game DPS meter! Funny that’s not a DPS meter that’s a damage recap, it shows total at end of match not actually DPS or do w need to explain what DPS stands for? And it doesn’t alert anything mid game or at a moments notice but hey pesky facts are pesky, plus That recap is highly inadequate since it doesn’t pull who did what mechanics at what specific time who failed mechanics etc. you know things that the already compliant and approved for use Combat Meter does. And will you please answer the question I posed you or do I take the avoidance of the question as you havin zero basis for your claim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since all you are making claims that its been officially certified and checked by Anet, then it can't be done off the clock, as any work done off the clock cannot in any way be affiliated to Anet, at all, in any manner.

Re-read what I said, I said an Anet Dev checks them not that Anet has a Dev check them. Reading comprehension my friend. Not hypocritical in the least currently it serves me no purpose, but it is still a useful tool that is not needed in the least just welcome to help refine and actually allows those that want more in depth data to have it, and doesn’t need official support for because that would take resources away from somewhere else.

And I have arcDPS, it does not do any of that of that stuff, it just shows who is doing the most Damage at the current moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To present damage summary at the end it needs to count it first. It's just different data presentation. The tool is there ready to be used. But it's limited to small and irrelevant game mode.

And if it served no purpose it never would have been made to start with. It's obviously much wanted feature, one that people, such as yourself, felt needed enough to download it, so.. making it a QoL part of the game does in fact make sense. Downloading something for a game that you feel serves no purpose.. gonna call shenagains on that, and that sounds even more hypocritical. Would you like a shovel to keep digging?

Downloading something for a game that you feel serves no purpose.. gonna call shenagains on that, and that sounds even more hypocritical. Would you like a shovel to keep digging? Again you are making assumptions that CC did get paid to do it again show me that for all we know he did it on his own time(theirs history from multiple games of Devs doing similar things) so keep making assumptions since no one knows if he did it while getting paid or did it as a courtesy again we don’t know. But go on keep at it. Remember that saying about assumptions. Re-read (seems to be a recurring issue for you)what I said: “currently it serves me no purpose” Reading comprehension my friend, I stated currently it serves me no purpose, not that it serves no purpose. So come on I can keep tearing up the misinformation and assumptions you keep making, it’s quite fun and simple really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, it shows the damage acclimation in real time, if you played PvP, you would know you can hit B at any time, and it will show you your scores and totals to the exact second, so not only does it keep track and record of your DPS, if you looked at it, you would see that is also keeping track of deaths, revives, healing, and a few other stats. It would be a small matter to have it calculate the % in real time as opposed to waiting to the end the match, but I wager since so few people hit B mid match, it was really not needed, but it could do it as well as since it already tracking the damage. Equally so, having it show you how much you did within a time (say a tick), would also be a small matter of having a separate line that did not do the acclimation. The system is there, it's already tracking all the info, and it's far superior to a bland DPS meter, it is simply a matter of modifying the UI to make it easier to activate, and watch. But none the less it still willy amusing to me that people think some third party program made by a hobbyist in their spare time, in their house, is going to somehow be better then something that Anet , a professional gaming company could make.

It's obviously much wanted feature, one that people, such as yourself, felt needed enough to download it, so.. making it a QoL part of the game does in fact make sense. Downloading something for a game that you feel serves no purpose.. gonna call shenagains on that, and that sounds even more hypocritical. Would you like a shovel to keep digging? > > Again you are making assumptions that CC did get paid to do it again show me that for all we know he did it on his own time(theirs history from multiple games of Devs doing similar things) so keep making assumptions since no one knows if he did it while getting paid or did it as a courtesy again we don’t know. But go on keep at it. Remember that saying about assumptions. > Ok, you obviously know nothing about professional liberality, and honestly, I don't have the patience to teach you. So I'll say this again, if anything was said **Officially**.. then someone got paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see GW2 get some UI love, better interface and all that. But WOW had clickable menus and that has ruined me a bit for this game in that its not really clicker friendly.

The audacity is staggering really. Oh so to see it in real-time I have to take up the majority of the screen just to see a total damage done at that point and not actual real time DPS since that’s an aggregate not a Interval based screen, not really helping yourself out there and it’s not intuitive to use by any means, gotta hit B and lose a lot of the viewable screen to see it, such real time much wow! Hmm just a DPS meter aye? Because overlays don’t work, with screenshots here you go https://imgur.com/a/iWtXi , Oh look I can see all Boons/sec, DPS, Boss Mechanics Failed, Skills used etc. Combat Meters show all relevant data to the fight not just DPS, the PVP recap is a farce, since it only cares about tallying up totals, not displaying it in a coherent Real time manner that means anything, while Combat Meters show everything, and yes I believe someone that knows what they are doin and focusing solely on their Combat Meter can provide a superior product, history has shown us even the Devs have issues with the code in their game. So again Combat Meters that are allowed show superior information that is customizable, and I wouldn’t want to see Anet waste resources to make something Players have already made in a superior fashion, and Anet seems to be of the same thought process based on all their comments on a proprietary meter; https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/game/gw2/DPS-meter-in-game-would-be-a-God-Send/page/5#post6417311 For those to lazy to go to the link: >Gaile Gray >ArenaNet Communications Manager >Hey guys, >We have a lot of tools that we use in the development of the game, but not all of them are available or supportable in the live game. Adding tools to the game that would require continual updating and maintenance would not be the best focus for the team. So while we’re aware that some players would like to see an official DPS meter — and clearly the community is divided on this topic — you should be aware that the team does not intend to add one to the game.” It’s ok though, I will keep placing facts out there debasing your assumptions and misinformation and watch as the jimmies rustle while I sit back and enjoy my ?.

I don't get the part about a 3rd party stealing your account info, that is just odd thinking.) To explain this. When you download the program, you give it free access to your computer, all your firewalls, anti-Maleware, and anti-Viris programs go out the window, because **you** gave the program full permissions and access to your computer, so, it could data-mine your computer, and no only could you not stop it, you would have no idea what it was doing, after all.. data sent could be hidden in the fact that it is reading the combat log and processing the information. Anet is not responsible for what any 3rd party program does to your personal system, so, if the program access all your personal information, IE: online banking, Anet is not liable in the slightest. The only thing Anet has said, is that this program Cannot access someone else's personal information THROUGH the game client.. any other way, or accessing anything else, of course is not Anet's responsibility. So, you are banking the entire safety of your system, on someone you know nothing about, and is under no obligation to protect or respect your privacy.

It's mainly just a UI change, the data and how it's read would not need to be modified in the least. Maybe you ought to go off and enjoy whatever this is ?as your making up stuff now. Sorry but if it is what players want, so much so, that they went though the effort to make some mock-up of what they want, then its worth it for Anet to make am Official system.
