One Question how are you going to make sure which boss its for because without combat logs ( which are not operational on torparse yet )

One Question how are you going to make sure which boss its for because without combat logs ( which are not operational on torparse yet )

For now I will take it on blind faith, but when the logs become available I will go back and check everyones.

I do have a lot of faith in you guys not to try and cheat the system, but we shall see

If people would prefer to use Starparse/parsec with screenshots (must have kill in background type thing). Then I am happy to change submission rules to suite community. Torparse would be nice (if working fully), but they do seem very slow atm...

I just have my combat log on torparse filled with stuff, and there's no way for me to verify which one was actually the boss kill. That's why I'm suggesting it. Also, I read the rules about cropping a parse, how exactly do you mean? Because, for example, after you kill Bulo, sometimes there will still be pirates up, and you could just sweeping gunfire them down and watch the parse skyrocket. I don't want to see parses like this lol.

This could just be temporary, just an alternative until Torparse develops a little bit more.

Edit: Doing this is actually more annoying than I thought. Niether one tells you when specifically when a boss dies unless you exit combat or deal the killing blow to said boss. So we could see some inflated/deflated parses using these two unfortunately.

Unfortunately you have outlined the entire problem with doing parses on bosses in general. When Torparse finally updates to log view we can identify these parses, but there isn't much we can do to correct for those cases. It is just something we will have to deal with for fights with adds.

Until Torparse updates, I will accept both torparse logs, and screenshots that include the kill, and will update my rules accordingly.

Also, I read the rules about cropping a parse, how exactly do you mean?

This is basically to stop burst specs from changing their log so they are only in combat for a short amount of time to do massive burst. While this will be obvious by the time in combat, I just copied some of the rules from the Dummy leaderboard posts without really explaining them. Sorry for any confusion

Don't know if this will be accepted, but.... Also, I did die during the fight but the boss had less than 40k hp.

Star parse gives higher parse numbers in actual boss fights i think it auto edits out the dead parts of the parse.

I did not know this, nor have I seen it in my own parses... Comparing parsec to starparse gives me the same results on NiM Draxxus...

I don't think it does that. It shows the downtime where you are DPSing, yes, but it doesn't just not include the time you aren't doing anything.

Ok so this is what I did: For those fights that either A) The DPS was not significant enough to crop (Only one that was affected was Malphy, by about 9 DPS), or B) I couldn't find proof of said boss dying, I did not crop. Those that have proof have been cropped to remove any fluctuations. Some parses would be higher *cough* Bulo *cough* if I didn't, and others would be lower.

And just one thing: I was looking at the columns, they seem to change after sparky. They go "DPS" then "Date Cleared" for sparky then switch to "TTK" then "DPS" for the rest of the bosses. Just letting you know

While I do understand where you are coming from. The biggest issue, is without understanding the language in which the combat logs are written in, people that use parsec and/or upload to torparse won't be able to do this. I understand that RNG can then unbalance the parses, but we have to have a uniform system for dealing with the unbalance, and having those of you that use star parse crop your parses, and everyone else not, leads to problems...

If you can suggest a way of dealing with the differences in the parses, that doesn't involve forcing everyone to use star parse, then by all means let me know.

I see where you're coming from, but the cropping of the parses doesn't always actually add onto DPS, but I guess I'm bringing us towards the wrong direction here. As far as a temporary solution goes, I'll just not crop my parses (except for Bulo. I would be changing that from a 4.3 to a 5.1 because I had to kill some pirates ) I don't really see any alternatives here, unless we get everyone that participates here to use Star Parse until Torparse is fully operational.

Can't compare SM to HM when in SM you don't have to clear stacks. Meaning you can just sit there for the entire fight and pull like MUCH higher number then in HM

If people bothered reading my original post, it actually states that the original intention was for SM content until I updated the sheet. If people want to complain about their HMs being in the same boat atm, that's their fault for not reading clearly to begin with.

Also note, on the spreadsheet it distinguishes between 8 and 16man, so atm their is only my parse for the 16 man.

Edit: Also note, that if I limited it to exclusively Hard Mode, we would exclude a large portion of people who can't fit into prog teams due to their schedules, who may be interested in posting

the whole point of the post was because you didn't need to tell us your gear as if you were trying to show off. I could care less if HM and SM are in the same category as long as its labeled "SM" or "HM"

Edit: and as you so clearly stated in your rules that Top 15 parses for each boss in each mode will be kept, yet I only see 1 parse for each boss

Meaning you can just sit there for the entire fight and pull like MUCH higher number then in HM

If you are going to put emphasis on the MUCH higher part of a sentence, it implies you are complaining about the idea of comparing SM to HM. If you were trying to say you don't care about my gear, maybe you should have focused your post on gear...

But that's just my interpretation based on your word choice, as I had no other context besides what appeared to be a complaint about comparing SM to HM. Your entire post was about the mechanics of the fights, nothing more, so to me, it seemed like you were talking about the spreadsheet listing both SM and HM in the same category.

The note about gear is more for people to have an idea about what sort of gear I was in, and what numbers they might expect to see on the fight in SM in the basic gear.
