Looking at all the RDM screenshots I have a lot of regrets wrt how I got BLM to 70 using MSQ. Ik it's easier now but after playing DRK/AST the DPS queue is the enemy and I had no idea how I managed throughout ARR/HW/SB.

Holyshoot posted:It's vastly easier to install a dps addon in wow then it is to get ACT up and running. That is my point. It is definitely not vastly easier. You can install ACT, drop in a plugin for the overlay, and plug an overlay URL in to whatever plugin you choose to use in a very short amount of time. Yes, this is more work than hitting download on a mod client but vastly easier is really not the phrase to use. If you want to talk about how accessible it is, then yes a dps parser in wow is much more accessible than ACT. I don't expect anyone to know about the overplay plugins to use if they are new and I do not think that it is as useful to have ACT without any form of overlay. It would be nice if there was a more all in one solution but I don't expect anyone to put in the work to get one working.

From SE's end, because they want to keep their system walled off to any sort of mod.

MMOs attract plenty of people who don't do gaming outside of them and are pretty computer averse. I would bet most WoW players never touch addons. Anecdotally I can't think of anyone I knew IRL who used them. I had to push people into just AH stuff with the promise of all the gold they were passing up. People who are going to install a third party program to parse their game are going to be so much rarer than screwing around with semi-official addons. Damage meters are a whole messy thing, but it would fit ffxiv's style to add some private stats at the end of a dungeon/raid. Letting people know they did 40% of the average level <X> <class> damage would help people who want to improve.

I installed ACT but boy there are a lot of tabs and options and while it's giving me a nice pop-up overlay of a mob I target's numerical HP I sure don't see my lovely party's DPS anywhere. I'll have to look into it further

I've kicked really bad players from dungeons before and I don't feel bad about it  The worst offender I think was a brd that auto attacked once per pull and then stood around. They did so little I actually saw them unsheathe their weapon during a pull. The worst part was they weren't even afk, they were loving moving around and idk pretending to attack I guess?

Don't understand the love for the overlays of ACT. I guess it makes sense if you only have a single monitor but ehhhhhh it's not that difficult to just tab to it. Anyway, people in WoW have had parsers for years and it was still, as of the last time I played around Pandaria, an endless march of utterly terrible players reagrdless. Community was a whole lot shittier though, so you aren't really selling me on why we should risk the moderately decent community of ff14 for some likely imaginary upswell of competent players. The bottom line for people is, and always has been that doing good dps is essentially like having to do homework, and that poo poo is for losers. You need to do outside research, you need to know how to run a parsing tool and then make heads or tales of what it is outputting. You probably need to talk to other good players that you know as well, just to corroborate whatever nonsense you turned up anyway, since half the guides I've looked at have been partially wrong anyway. And then on occasion you get to throw out a lot of what you learned on patch days or expansion launches. All of this is a big ask when as far as I can tell 75% of people don't read or remember the tooltips of their abilities.

Holyshoot posted:Does it automagically pull the overlays and create the overlay for me? Tell me where to put the overlay html folder? Tell me to make sure my firewall isn't blocking the ports? So your argument is that all people need are for scoreboards to show up, and then they'll suddenly be motivated to look up rotations, study, and practice to get better. Meanwhile, here you are, demonstrating that people don't want to go the slightest bit out of their way to follow even the simplest instructions. I hope you can at least recognize the irony.

cheetah7071 posted:Are there any fight specific tricks as a melee in O6S people can think of? My two clears are 9th and 16th percentile without deaths and I was used to getting pretty good parses in deltascape. Lyrina Galera on Ultros if someone wants to look at my actual runs on fflogs The main thing is to make sure they don't try to stick you with handling paint that you don't need to handle. O6S is near training dummy levels of uptime once you learn to time your movements to follow the boss, with the added bonus of no positionals to worry about so you can basically go nuts. Weave the fire resist painting between GCDs, grab the airplane painting at the last possible second, and make the other jerks worry about all the rest. Tethers can be handled if both people stand at max melee range on opposite sides of the boss, so as long as your group is positioned properly there's no need to stop attacking. The only time you will be forced away from the boss is if you get targeted by the ink AoEs that chase you around. You may also need to step out of melee range for a GCD or so during the water cast where you have to hide behind the rock. When he's in front of the wind painting there is a really narrow sliver of space where you can hit him and still be safe behind the rock, but an inch too far out and you're dead. I try to anticipate the boss' movement by backstepping into his path right before he moves, but that's more for cool points than actually improving my DPS since a charge will work just as well.

The rock has no collision so you can actually hide within the rock and still be in range to hit him with your abilities. I think it's a bit too far out for your autoattacks to connect, though.

How do you have to gently caress up the wow client to make it crash all the time? I guess SE really saves people from themselves by not letting them install third party trash.

I had a few crashes during Legion using an entirely unmodified WoW client (and a few bugs I had to resolve by clearing my cache and poo poo). off hand, I can't remember a time that happened to me in FFXIV. obviously the difference between 'a few' and 'zero' isn't a whole lot, just saying the naked wow client isn't infallible.

You should fix your computer friend. The ffxiv client crashes more(oh no i unplugged my headphones ffxiv gonna crash now) then the wow client for me. And I'll win because it's two clicks compared to the multiple steps that includes getting your overlay up.
