Yeah the sage healers in my guild have been asking for this for a while. Its a good idea but dont know when i can get to it.

 

If you add it, I will donate money to Parsec - I guarantee it

How do you determine if somebody is a "healer"?

 

I have a list of heal abilities that generate threat that are not healer abilities. These do not get the extra threat reduction when calculating their efficiency. All other heal abilities benefit from the threat reduction in the calculation. The compromise is that if a non healer spec, healer capable class casts a heal they get credit for the threat reduction talent.

I know this is a bit Pie in the Sky but how about asking BW to improve the combat log? I'd love to see both

• more information in the combat log
  
• an official description from BW on how to interpret the combat log (is this so much to ask for)?
  

 

I'm particularly interested in tank guarding, PvP taunt mitigation and shield mitigation.

 

I have sent IMs to the community managers, posted suggestions, submitted bug reports and created threads on the PTS but have never received any feedback. I guess its not real high on their priority list.

Would be nice to have a checkbox on a per character basis.

 

Somewhat related, is there anyway to go back to how pop outs worked before? That is to say can I have it not save locations for each character and just have the one global positioning.

Raid Service is dead

Yes I am having some serious problems with my Hosting Provider. They reconfigured some things and somehow reset my server memory allocation extremely low.

 

I am working with them now but they are being very stubborn and are reluctant to put it back to where it was to allow the amount of traffic the service gets. Instead they are increasing it incrementally which only leads to another ticket and escalation process.

 

This is VERY frustrating and I will get the thing back up as soon as possible.

Very recently Parsec has started writing the log in the display upside down.

 

Why?

 

I'm talking about Entering Combat at the very bottom of the list where the focus is and recent events being right at the top

 

e.g.

I cannot reproduce this. Do you have some strange windows language or culture settings?

Update: They have tweaked it several times and the symptoms have gotten better but I am still demanding more. I see that there was an outage at Euro peak today for a few minutes. I am hoping I can get them to enable a little more headroom.

Have you thought of setting up a donation fund? Ppl might be willing to chip in for bandwidth/capacity costs.

I know I would.

I have been taking donations since the beginning. You can find the paypal link here http://parsec.codeplex.com. I have gotten some support which I am thankful for. Maybe i should put a donate link on the app itself...

Yes. It's in English. British English.

 

Aside from that I don't tend to think I do strange things. I can't even remember the last time I fiddled any windows settings.

 

The log was correctly being displayed from top to bottom about a week ago.

 

At least one patch was seen on parsec since then and when I was trying to analyse a log mid fight yesterday the section in focus was complete garbage.

 

Check on it afterwards and somehow parsec is taking the correctly written top to bottom log as written by swtor and managing to display it all line by line upside down.

Uninstalled the program, reinstalled the program, same result.

I have the same bug, and my Windows is in German. It started happening with the latest Parsec patch I believe. Other players in my guild have the same problem, if you can call it that.

 

During an operation, I remember my times were even more mixed up than just in reverse order 5,4,3,2,1. They were not sorted in any way, but in an order like 2,1,3,5,4. Maybe this has to do with me using vanish or battle rezzing, not sure. The next time I see this, I'll copy & paste the log here.

Probably a good idea. I'm guessing most people never notice the paypal button and they never return to the codeplex page after the initial download because the app updates itself. You could also post a brief explanation to folks that donations are to cover hosting costs to avoid service outages so they should consider forking over some dough if they value the app, because ultimately nothing is free.

Both of these reports helped me track down what was going on. I cannot reproduce it but have a theoretical hypothesis that in certain performance situations the new multithreaded collections I was using were not guaranteeing insertion order.

 

A fix is incoming today.

That's great to hear! In case you still need more samples, here is an example of the Combat Log on the PTS. As you can see, it is neither sorted ascendingly nor descendingly, but in a random order.

Last night in NiM DF I was also having issues with the timers being way off. I'm not talking about 1-3 seconds, i'm talking about 10+ seconds for shatter shot and a good 5 seconds for corrosive dart. Any ideas off the top of your head? I haven't changed anything since the last time they were working properly which was definitely last week. I must admit I don't normally pay a huge amount of attention to the timers so I can't say if last night was the first time it happened. I can post the log if needed when I get a moment.

Sync your system clock with an internet time server and make sure the sync doesnt fail. I was having some problems syncing to microsofts time server last week so i tried a different one and it worked.

Have a lot of issues with this lately, it randomly disconects from raid, and then it gives big wall of text when I try to reconect. 10 min later working again, then dc during fight and same over and over. Completly random.

If you need support i can sometimes offer help via the support email address offered on the website or in the app, but generic statements like this do nothing.

 

In the past week my logs show one outage for 3 minutes yesterday where the sql database server was not responding. It was up the rest of the time. That wall of text you are complaining about might give me some idea of why you are having issues.

Raiding on test servers today so if it pops again i'll make a screenshot. Since it has been happening 2 days in a row I expect it tonight as well, maybe it is problem on my side... Can't copy-paste error message for some reason.

Not seen any upside down logs being written lately.
