Of course they do, their consumer base is 90% "casuals" (it's not exactly casual but more like non-hardcore).

its a wors decigion from ZOs to disable the main feature of this addon
as always - ZOS show us how much they care about casueals

F-U-C-K EM!

Ah come on... Just play and advance without an addon which is telling you the damage/heal of others?
If everyone in the group just looks at his own values and performs pretty well the dungeons will be cleared the same way
Thats how it worked before and will always do.

So don't blame a company for their game and methods of the API THEY decide to enhance.
Either you like and play it, or you don't like it. Then stop paying and/or play something else.

RIP

**** ZOS

Completely understand mate, I really hope you do well in achieving your goal scores for your tests


Fingers crossed it won't be patched.

My fault completely... Didn't realize how tired I was when I wrote that last night

I was meaning the display refresh for the statistics, I'd be interested in seeing it refresh a lot faster instead of the per second update which it is currently (More or less continuous instead of jumping every second)

I also think the way you have initiated data capture upon entering combat instead of your first damage dealt is a lot more of an accurate method of analysis for this type of addon


Edit: Little more clarification and my usual grammar nazi of my own typing coming out

Referencing ms intervals instead of second intervals. I'd be happy to performance test it to see if the data has any adverse effect, as well as measuring for any anomolies with comparible addons that display DpS statistics

Edit: Damn typos...

Guessing left over code for debugging the timing to ensure output of the addon is correct... Here's to hoping for the potential of frequency in dps to have an option to be lowered
^ +1.

I updated GroupDamage today and found it writing "true" or "false" to the system chat occasionally.

The culprit seems to be the in line 431 in /mcore/functions.lua
writing the variable when entering/exiting combat

Thanks for this Addon, I like it a lot! I hope Zenimax leaves the API open for this.

I think this addon is great as a help tool, but people are jerks and ruin it for everyone else

Either way I love it and people I run with love trying to get better than each other and see who gets highest heals or damage and you can even use it in group dailies for boss's and see how you compare to strangers.

I did find one issue though with the latest update I literally just updated using minion.

Everytime I go into and out of combat now, the addon is sending true/false yellow text to chat box.

It only started since the latest addon update. Thanks!

How about we get back to the fundamentals...

zos initially withdrew client access to support these types of addon, stating it was in their opinion these types of addons can cause a rift between casual players and hard core players...

Now look at the positives and negatives for both sides and you can clearly see that you cannot categorize players in the manner you pretty much all have been.

For the players that do not want this, I can fully agree the downside to addons like these are the same with people in general... There are always others that cause harm rather than good, these people and game players are the problem.

To get around the issue, how about zos add an option to not disclose access to player combat data in the manner it currently is.

For those that do want this type of information, let them have the option to have access to it. Regardless of the data being accessed for the generation of statistical output, you can see if you have situational awareness which players are struggling and which players are not.

Bit of my 2 copper pieces:

I really dislike the whole 'elitist', 'hard-core' etc. crap... Enough with the jock/nerd mentality guys!

For far too long, both in-game and addon community alike has been doing the same thing which causes arguments/disagreements/discussions that revolve around the same principles...

Help others instead of putting them down, use the statistics to help en-rich their gaming experience if they are struggling to be in a good rotation for the build they want to use, offer advice, don't dictate what others should be using/doing, etc.


Digression:

This cookie-cutter build crap does not need to be here, the group content is not difficult enough to really push the numbers, which is another issue in digression... Enjoy the game, have fun and play around with the builds... Some of them can be quite unique, regardless of not pushing the boundaries of DpS.
