It’s undetectable in LA because the packets aren’t encrypted, they’re obfuscated, so the log capture can be done on any machine on the path passively. The only way they could stop it is by changing their network protocol. It’s pretty shocking that it’s not encrypted, actually. It’s like the '90s again where you can hijack people’s accounts at starbuck’s wifi.
I personally don’t have a problem with it, but people who start greeding and griefing to parse on my runs will be annoying to play with. However I really think it will help me and other players improve, so I can see there’s upsides and downsides
Data is there it’s just hidden its why they have to do packet sniffing to extract the data its not any different than how FFXIV does it.
You won’t report them, because you’ll just get quietly declined from joining every party with your 2% grey parse :^)

How’s that going to work? WoW Logs uses combat log, which LA doesn’t have, for the detail no?
Nice time to meta the shit out of this game. Time to lock certain classes out of certain boss depending on boss uptime depending on dps depending on engraving depending on enhance levels depending on playtime depending on o.O too far?
It will be interesting to have some real numbers to see how “balanced” various classes are.
It just gonna show that classes with annoying nuance like chasing a boss’s backside and building gauges are just gonna be annoying to play to reach the same level of dps as a sorc that just turreting on a boss from 1000 miles away XD
Which will, hopefully, lead to better class balancing.
this. this game already has system problems that cause toxicity, like putting 1 shot mechanics in abyss dungeons that require every single player to play 100% perfectly, and then making abyss the main source of income(this forces casual players with no understanding of fundamental game mechanics to join and ruin everyones fun, then triggers easily triggered people to turn into malding ragers that also ruin everyones fun).
We dont need more bullshit systems causing anymore toxicity
1 shot mechanics isn’t a game issue thats a personal skill issue.
As I said repeated, this is bs.
I don´t like to discuss with ppl that are kinda crybabies over this, over and over again, about the same stupid false argument.
Thank you.
(Edit: Please read what I have to say before you respond to me directly. Or just put your feedback into a topic)
There’s no argument to be had. Everything I said is 100% true and there’s history in other MMOs to prove my point. This “community” already has an issue with thinking you need be a neet sweatlord to clear content when you really don’t.
Can only repeat, I find that this is absolute bs.
I played wow for years and I don´t see it as an issue at all.
More as an regulation.
If you are one of those, that feels that way, you might overthink why there are some that do not see it that way and don´t give me some 100% stuff here.
I am personally fine with everytthing that makes this game more exciting, even if it is just in certain parts of it. What is there else to discuss?
Your 100% truth I saw someone got flamed over it?
Jesus…
No thank you. At this point I have no idea why he suddenly cares to make it, or why he seems to care about the game at all. Lost Ark has been greatly harmed by getting pulled into the drama and poop slinging between WoW and FFXIV fans and content creators looking for an easy pinata. Now this? And like many other posts before have already addressed, there is a lot of variability in Lost Ark and situational and conditional parameters to consider that no meter will ever really capture in a useful way.

As long as it does include break point/stagger then thumbs up from me
Nobody notice about your parse cause its a 3rd party tool

Yeah there’s always two sides of the coin. It isn’t anyone “right” to be included in a PvE group. But yeah at the same time theres jerks who might take it too far and harass someone who simply isn’t or cannot perform well.
I am enjoying all the killjoy posts here.
Nothing really changes hearts and minds like theoretical threats of ‘toxicity’.
Someone might get electrocuted!
Better not allow PCs…

I think as long there is an inspection mechanic that allows you to see
-engravings
-stats
-cardset
-gems
there is no need to complain about a dps meter if you have access to all the information.
I used logs to justify taking people into my group despite having awful gear, but in this game you have to judge a book by it’s cover.
It’s the same thing that happened in WoW with the mythic+ score. Excluding people based on their mythic+ score is way more toxic than analyzing logs of that said person, as you can see movement, skill usage etc… You can use logs to find out the skill level of a player, but mythic+ score is something you can pay for, as with gear in lost ark.
Toxic people are toxic, with or without dps-meter.
