LFM fractal lvl 10 must have over 4k dps or kicked !

LFM lvl 80 expl dungeon must have 3k + DPS or kicked !

LFM dungeon must have 3k agro or kicked !

LFM dungeon must have full exotics and 4k + DPS or kicked

where have we heard this before hmmmmm

this is why anet have banned addons, it destroys the game and makes it “best ppl only” and ruins it for ppl who just want to do the encounter with out worring about dps this dps that.

look what happend to WoW, first it was gear score now its Ilvl (built into character panal) and ofc a dps requirement for a raid / dungeon thats far over the top.

yes i would like a dmg meter to see how my glass cannon thief does, but to be honnest id rather not have it, as all i have to do is look at my screen and see all the lovely red numbers on my screen to know im pounding the boss to dust.

oo and about agro. when doing plinx chain event and the champ spawns at the end, that guy refuses to let go of agro on 1 person.

example, i use my thief and play P/P glass cannon,
i know for a fact its only a matter of time before he locks onto me and wont leave me alone, even if he kills me and a player resses me he suddonly turns around and comes right for me even if i didnt shoot him after ressing.
even stealthing has no affect on that nasty ugly thingy.

so some wierd agro system to stop certain builds / gear from standing still and nukeing, or he really really hates asura thiefs !

It’s fine. That is the elitist system. It is an organized way to get the MOST SUCCESSFUL runs in games. Most MMO’s and this concept of being another MMO is truely an overrated opinion that people feel it is downgrading the game… they don’t realize that adding certain things from other MMO’s might actually “upgrade” the game. Alot of the posts i have read and discussed in previous elements regarding the SERIOUS and the CASUAL players have always resulted in being divided into those perspectives: Serious/Casual. Depending on how many serious or casual players there are in the game, they can choose to govern the features of a certain game. But again, if it should still be an available option. It can EASILY be moderated to prevent spamming on party chats by filter settings. I have already posted several pros over their cons in my previous post if you would like to read them.

Nachtenbel you are missing the point. Candle was suggesting a tool or addon that is OPTIONAL to the users who would like to enhance their gameplay. Do not assume people cannot read them and even if they can’t they can always learn. Learning about your statisitics in the game is Keen for executing brilliant strategies that are reliant on a hairline of calculated precisions. We are not asking Damage meters only, but all other reading like you suggested that can affect it to be displayed as well. (eg evasions made, rezzes made, healing done, aggro is a MUST, otherwise it makes NO SENSE in enemy fights) I understand theyre trying to dodge being another WOW, but TBH. this game is EXTREMELY beautiful in its own way that it already surpassed WOW imo. However, the tools that WOW had was the reason why it has also become extremely successful==== the idea of a friendly community is honestly a great virtue, but that is not REALITY. The reality is, " There is always someone better" therefore people are always gonna find out, and pride will be made and destroyed. Without the recognition of these factors is like assuming that everyone can live perfect lives without any form of conflict. sorry, throwing my philosophy being an ancient MMO guru of many genres =)

Hi Everyone! I believe everyone is assuming that Damage meters is for "ONLY " damage reading. If i were to remake the name, like Recount in WOW ( which btw is a brilliant idea) it would be a stat reader. HPS DPS Damage take, Rezzes made can all be accounted for in these meters. THE POINT IN THESE METERS is to enhance gameplay efficiency NOT COMPETITION. Competition is based on personal intentions meaning only an individiuals make the call to take it as a competition and be SERIOUS or CASUAL with their skill level. Again, i think the intentions of everyone here is fair and understandable; but allowing meters in place to for our own personal skill effiency development would be a brilliant idea. For those that do not want to use it, that is fine. For those SERIOUS playsers that can benefit from it (you know who you are) it would be an excellent asset to the game. Even though the meter is inaccurate at times; it still gives it over a 50% accuracy on reading a person’s skill efficiency and rotations during battles.
BTW they should also add in inspecting—— it’s a good way to at least know if people arent lying about their exotics because they can always mask it with Transmutations.
