2/22/2012 -> Can we get an update on where the Combat Log is?

Because logs are usually stored client side. So you have a standalone program which reads this log as its happening, and then spits out the answer. Like dmg done, who had the most dmg, what attack hit hardest...etc...etc...


Standalone dmg parsers existed since EQ. nothing new here. You do not need mods like WoW to parse logs.

This can be answered by asking another question, and answering it based on what happened:

Did the boss die?

So an illegal third party mod is what you are afraid of.

Yeah, exposed as a hypocrite, so time to flee the thread.

Look. I want a combat log (and even damage meters eventually) to IMPROVE MYSELF.

Knowing what kills me is important. Knowing my own dps is useless. Knowing how my dps compares to other people in the group is important. Knowing how my dps compares to other people in the group that are the same class as me and the same spec as me is enormously important. If they are outperforming me, I can ask them what they are doing. I can look at their gear to see if they're stacking something I'm not.

I become a better player. All you care about is people persecuting you. You are content to be average or even below average as long as you squeak by - your own words. What a joke. You can be content to be a scrub if you want - let the real players play.

That i agree on, this game doesnt need meters on its current state where nightmare modes are easier than any of the molten core bosses and on the "long gone" part you are correct, unless they add logs and harder fights tonight when my gametime runs out. Good luck in the future and i hope everyone finds what they are looking for, in this game or some other one, including you.

You guys need to stop posting.


FACT 1:

Anyone posting against meters are either oblivious to end game raiding in mmos, complete and utter nabs afraid what the meters will show OR (as someone said earlier, afraid it`ll give the elitists ppl more ground though making the game worse for the casual players)

Either way. Meters are there for a reason people. Theres a reason why we need it. So I dont care if you suck or not. Afraid of elitists or whatever the f... reason you can conjur up.

METERS let YOU see WHO does WHAT or rather does NOT at any given times !

GET IT ?

FACT 2:

SEE FACT 1 !

What? why is it illegal? look at all the packet sniffers sites like torhead use to see what gear is in the game, its the same thing. Its not illegal because there is no cheating, you are simply reading your log, lol.

Do you know what "improve" means?

It's almost assuredly breaking the TOS.
