It is even possible to suppress (turn off) in game numbers for all damage sources including incomming and outgoing heals and effect messages (buff/debuff) like Evades, Blocks etc. It offer a base which other add-ons like Scrolling Combat Text (GW2SCT) make use of so it is possible to have Cloud like numbers displyed around character (with icon for damage type and diferent colour depending on source - very useful for seeing conditon that are hitting your PC or when you play conditon builds). I'm just asking for them to cut the middle-man.ĪrcDPS isn't ONLY a DPS meter as it today have many add-on that make use of it present messages and information from game. People will run Arc regardless what Anet does. Raiding is already being heavily gatekept by KP/LI and Raid Commanders who don't run Arc don't exist. I mean make it an optional opt-in if needed, yes that won't change anything in Raid as ofc Commanders will ask you to opt-in, but that would solve the issue of people not wanting to get shamed for AFKing in Meta Events or whatever. No slight to the developper of the tool, i'm sure its incredibly hard to program and best case Anet could give him a contract to actually implement it officially.īut right now i'm stuck in a situation where i'm stuck running a tool i'm more or less required to use to do a part of the game i enjoy, but that tool breaks my game. At this point i'm stuck reinstalling it only during my raid night cause otherwise it literally loses me games in PvP.

Right now the only option for that in this game is an awkward 3rd party program who consistently crashes the game. That said, DPS meter will always be wanted by high end PvE players in any game, in the vast majority of the cases for the right reasons. in WoW is one of the many reasons i quit it permanently. Being heavily encouraged to have a fricking command center and 8+ weakauras per boss etc. Getting away from them was a huge selling point of this game for me. First note, i'm not a huge fan of addons, at all.
