The intent seems good. But I'm really skeptical of how useful this would really be based on what I saw in the video. Unless I'm one hit killing an enemy, I can already see the damage I cause when I hit an enemy. If there was a way to see the collected data, that would be useful. Does it take into account the enemies armor, strength and any elixirs I may be using? Seeing that green bar jump back and forth doesn't really help me if I don't exactly when it applies and how much damage it's reading.
Ok, fair enough. Like I said, my goal was not to offend anyone. We're talking about a piece of software that has the possibility of being a security risk. If that were the case, I'm sure it would be totally accidental, but a security risk nonetheless. All I'm saying is that presentation matters when it comes to allaying concerns.Originally Posted by jgrrgth

This "addon" to the server better not effect my ping its bad enough now
it shouldn't
Spacetime ,
why allow players to make "add ons" or whatever I'm being asked to believe this is?
This seems to contradict the tos.
Sorry, but I dont support this. More like a semi hax for me.Be careful guys.
I must agree with PO, if your not an employee of STS you shouldn't be tampering with there property no matter of good or bad intentions.
Edit: the more I think about it , the more it bothers me but I think I've said enough.

I've seen the DPS Meter in action and have tested it before release for Jggrgth.
I trusted him enough to give it a try. I have not experienced any issues so far.
I am not asking any of you to do the same - The hesitation is understandable.
But please do keep in mind that he only had good intentions behind his actions and he's put his best effort into making this.
@ Jgrrgth - I've seen and heard your "typewriter"go for hours working on this.
Everyone here has a right to be wary tho. They would be downloading this, fully trusting that you haven't put something sneaky in it.
Take this into account and make sure to take the comments here as advice on how to improve the meter/original post, rather than immediately being defensive. Just be patient and hopefully the devs have some feed back
As your friend, I don't want to see your hard work go to waste because of a few rash actions

So StS your telling me that this guy can assess your servers??? So how protected are we exactly??? As one said before; "security is only as strong as its weakest link".

That's not quite what I was asking, I should have made the post a little more clear. What I meant to ask was "Why do we even need this?" I can understand needing it in a game like WoW or even something like Spiral Knights, where the tactics you use will dictate you ability to win a given battle. But in PL, where the only tactic you need is "beat the snot out of the bad guy until he dies" (or the occasional variant of "Do [small and trivially easy task], then beat the snot out of the bad guy until he dies"), I don't really see a pressing need for this kind of plug-in.
Besides, I think you can use a DPS buff skill and then go into your avatar menu to see the effect the buff has on your stats.
If the devs have seen this and they didnt shut it down immediately, obviously his program doesnt tap that far into anything secret, if it did theyd ban him and delete this thread. I think many of you think you know a lot more about servers and coding than you actually do. The only worry here is whether or not the download is safe.

I think sceptisism was warented, I'm not saying I know anything in particular. It's not like this happens every day, if he did something that helps, great, won't affect me either way.

thats on you the devs havnt gave feed back yet
What do you know about server coding?
Next to nothing, but I know who does. The developers of this game. If they dont see an immediate problem with this then obviously this guy cant do as much as many are acting like he can. He cant just start spawning gold caps, if he could, why would the devs have to discuss the matter?
Base Damage > DPS. Period.
Oh how I miss Physiologic.

Let the guy express his new things he's excited about. You never know...maybe this damage meter is very good? Anyways It does sound a bit fishy that It was admin approved. Mind telling me who this admin was? Or if the admin could come on and personally say "they approve." Thanks!
Seems harmless, besides the download/install software on your computer thing. Just another visualisation of data which is more or less easy to grab out of the data stream from sts servers. Though implementing it in the browser interface is a nice job i think. Another thing it would be to produce or modify data which is sended TO sts servers (Botting and stuff). That would be evil.
But how about a visualisation of auction data, that could be somehow useful, hehe.
