DPS Meter Megathread

The main reason this thread goes on is because the people on the 'Trackers are Ok' side are often forced to clarify to others that Intrepid is not offering any real solution to ANY of the problems those people perceive to exist.

So you can consider it Altruism in some, maybe all cases. People say 'I don't want trackers because X so I'm glad they won't be allowed', and someone explains 'the current situation won't prevent X'. It is true that if we were all actually selfish the response would be 'lol look at these people with their lack of knowledge thinking that something will actually stop this' and SILENCE.

In fact, I consider the lack of input from other Tracker-advocates to be a sign that's mostly what's happening. If you talk Noaani out of 'bothering to help solve the problem' then the result will be 'the problem exists, Noaani is fine, everyone with the alternate wish is not'.

So I believe this would mean that there should also be no way to maximize the chat window while viewing your logs, or you should not be able to take screenshots with the log window open?

There aren't going to be hundreds of lines on the screen if each person's log only shows their own stuff, though.

Do you know how Optical Character Recognition works?

I have unfortunately not yet encountered a single game in this world that is too difficult for me to enjoy.

I look forward to playing the easy half of any such game as soon as possible.

At that time, I will gladly provide you a plush carpeted floor for you to roll around laughing on.

It allows you to read text directly from screenshots.

Some will let you read text directly from videos.

It does not need to interact with the game at any time.

You put in their name into the system before you invite them. This doesn't interact with the game.

If you find no logs for the person in the system, you just don't invite them. This is what happens in FFXIV.

This is also fine, except that it would lead back to the 'free for all trackers' problem, given what we know now. If Third Party Trackers are 'actually ok' in the FFXIV style, then it's fine.

But we know the game will have a Combat Log. As long as the game has a log, it has a Parser-Tracker. Intrepid does not need to do anything except if they explicitly don't want anyone to have those .

It's been explained a few times that no one cares about realtime logs at the level we are talking about BUT.

Yes, it can. And it does not do this by interacting with the game client, it does this by recording the gameplay OR a more convoluted method that is basically also recording gameplay but isn't detectable (because it's too customizable to detect)
