Knowing that a huge part of the community is using mods or plugins to modify the game, they made clear that the usage of this kind of unofficial content was forbidden and would be punished. In a recent Developers Live Letter, the team took some time to come back on the very anticipated subject of parsers and other in-game plugins. Why? Because Third-party programs are forbidden in FFXIV. A lot of players have been using it for a long time now be it for simple DPS check or to publish their logs on various ranking websites. This data can then be used to analyze a fight and see what mistakes have been made or how could you improve your skills rotation to output more damage for example.
What is ACTĪCT or Advanced Combat Tracker is a third-party program recording the stats of your group during a raid or any content you play.
Endgame and raid fans of Final Fantasy XIV might know what ATC is, but for other players that plugin can be a question mark.
