This is essential in knowing where I stand compared to others in my group. I want to continually be trying to get better numbers and DPS meters will help with that. Same thing goes for the upcoming raids. I’m not trying to parse, just trying to improve my numbers and being able to see that visually helps especially in dungeons and pits.

It’s not going to happen. Damage meters simply add more toxicity than It’s worth for a large majority of the players. Personally i don’t care either way but i understand why it’s not in the game.

DPS meters wouldn’t make much sense in this game. Aside from bosses with trillions of HP they would be completely pointless.

just do that on the scarecrow you can hit back in kyovashad or something.
or improve yourself on how fast you can kill an uber-uber boss or uber lilith or something
DPS meter , especially in a group, only bring toxicity in games.
and is irrelevant in aarpg since everything dies quickly (and so does you)

Personal damage statistics are good. Group damage meters are not. They lead to severe toxicity and if they’re adding new “group required” content (which is a bad idea itself) that’ll only be made more toxic than it already will be by adding group damage meters.
People keep asking for this and it really must not happen.
There is no good that can come from it.

Blizzard has already stated this will not happen in D4. The dev’s will not implement this because of the toxicity it creates in the player base constanly comparing themsevles to each other and alienating the people that don’t measure up to thier “standards”, so don’t hold your breath.

If you can’t already tell who in the group is doing the majority of the damage, are you even paying attention?

This is a bad road to start down… There is such toxicity attached to damage meters in any game that has them… If at the end of group content there was a damage ranking for that particular event, that might be of some use. But real-time, combat by combat meters tends to distract from the content, but instead focus on the damage itself to the detriment of the group. IMHO.

How about bring us group content period instead of punishing us for grouping at all.
100 percent hp per person was the first punishment. There are many others. Then the Pit put the nail in the coffin on grouping and shows they really do not want you to play multiplayer in this multiplayer game.
Please no, and please no gear score ever, I hated waiting on 2 dps for an hour because there gear score was a little low

Personal DPS meters, and combat log, could be interesting.
Seeing other players’ should of course not happen.

Only people against dps meters are the ones who are embarrassed about their dps. Believe me when i tell you. Dps meter or not we already know you suck you are not hiding it.

Says someone that thinks they’re better than everyone else and wants to prove it with toxic dps meter spam.
No, people don’t dislike the idea becuase they’re bad at the game. It breeds toxicity and your post proves that in spades.

I play a barb so unless you are also I’m doing more dps sorry, yay dps meter lol, show us all how bad the other classes are, this might be a good idea lol would be even more outrage over the inbalance
And here we go. Next they will ask for addons so they can hear bells and whistles going off in the dungeon along with other addons you have to download just to keep the riff raff out of their efficient groups. Welcome to World Of Diablo!

I do the most damage in my group. I still don’t want this. I’d go as far to say, that the people that do want this, are also the ones that use their credit card a bit too much and wanna see if what they paid for is making others jealous.

The people who believe they are good, are usually at the bottom.
Heck, in WoW etc. the people who were obsessed with looking at DMG meters were usually the people causing wipes.
That said, as a tool, personal DMG meters and other data is always good. The more data the better.
But save the DPS addicts from themselves.
WoW meta all over again waiting for bis people like these raids weren’t done before people got bis lol
They’d need class and build balance before they did this. Which so far, they show they don’t care at all about. They care about the same as they care about pvp.
The raid would honestly be cool if it was to fight Mephisto. 5 players go through a raid with Mephisto as the end boss. Except if you don’t play the bugged “meta” builds no one will want you in their raid.
