| Not sure if this has been discussed before but wouldn't it be cool to see how much damage each person contributes to a group? Lets say 4 people are going to do a bunch of rift sessions, or (even more relevant) uber bosses. After the end of the run or each rift you can look at and see who is doing the most dps or whatnot and you can reset the log whenever. It would be a nice little inner competition between players in a group. I know there would be a lot of stuff that would throw it off but it doesn't have to be perfect.. just a thought | ||

Play the game, don't focus on who is the best. This is pretty much the reason we haven't added one. Wyatt mentioned this at the Live Q&A during our launch event, but I know not everyone could watch it, so I'll reiterate the comment here: While we know it's disappointing to some folks, we don't currently have plans to add a DPS meter to Diablo III. Our team feels that something like a DPS meter puts too much focus on just one aspect of the game. Diablo is a combination of activities - you have to pay attention to not just the amount of damage that you're doing, but your toughness, healing, movement, how you aim certain abilities or skills, or your positioning. DPS shouldn't be the only number that matters when you play (although it does play an important part). The call for this type of feature is often indicative of a desire for a way to measure your progress while playing. It's important to keep in mind we do have some plans for competitive play, specifically with the upcoming Tiered Rifts feature planned for our first major content patch. Leader boards will be available to track your progress, so you'll be able to assess your efficiency based on how quickly you can clear these specialty rifts and compare with the community at large. I don't have details at the moment, but we will have more information on Tiered Rifts and Seasons in the near future. :) | ||
