How far would you go for Group DPS Tracking?
As the title states...How far would you go for group DPS tracking.
With some research:
I have a solution in mind which will maintain game performance and does not involve any hacking methods or manipulation of client files. I'm just curious who would want this... If I do release this to the public, I will be allowing other mod authors to use the same API. It will be closed source bar a select few.

I am using A.C.T. at the moment and it *seems* to be picking up my group's dps. Is this not the case?

It does pick up the Group DPS, but in a separate window outside of the Game UI.

Personally, I stick with ACT 100% in any game (where possible). Generally, I'm not after a "DPS meter", I'm after diagnostics and statistics - what hits for how much, damage types, crit %, timelines etc.
That being said, in the numerous MMO's I've played, most players I've known are wanting: 1. In game & simple 2. Their DPS or HPS (or both) 3. Their group/raid DPS/HPS (or both) 4. The ability to filter to self/group/raid only (ie: selectively parse) 5. Ability to export to chat channel (whether via clipboard or direct). For people who want a meter (as opposed to parser), they generally will want group/raid dps - your dps is nice, but they really want their dps/hps compared to other people around them. |
