Monster Load Priority

I like that idea. My pc runs the game fine and I can handle a decent amount of load. Some fates are just too overcrowded and bosses keep disappearing and some additional monsters just don't appear until they're almost dead. It's impossible to get any credit in the fates in the Coerthas region at pretty much any time, or the Costa del Sol region at peak time.

This. I don't even bother trying to do FATES anymore in Coerthas the enemies only spawn during their death animation for me :/

Huh, it's almost like giant thousand man spam fests are a bad idea or something.

I agree entirely. This needs to be changed. I am okay with limiting on-screen objects from loading, but in no way is it okay for Mobs/bosses to not render. It's a horrible oversight that NEEDS to be fixed asap.

I agree 100% to this. As a PS3 player there is a huge disadvantage doing fates in the Coerthas Central Highlands. Instead of being able to see Svara I have to look at the 50 players AND their chocobo companions fighting him. I don't care about seeing them, and I certainly do not want to look at their chocobo. I can only imagine how bad it would've been fighting a primal.

Give me the option to hide non party players, or prioritize it to where I'll see the monster.

Off topic, I'd also like to log in as I've been trying for hours and am probably missing Odin right now!

Plz fix *bump*

Bump, in hopes SE takes this thread seriously.

This should always be the case whether it be battle or in cities/sanctuaries. Monsters and NPCs need to take precedence over the horde of players.

This 1000% and PLEASE disable the use of chocobos during FATEs...lock people out until they withdraw their Companion.

Everyone should like this suggestion! It's a pretty important thing that needs to be addressed.

I have this same problem..I gave up doing fates once I got to dragonhead. Idont know if this is just a big issue for PS3 users or not but it's horrible. The fate monsters only load for me if I'm standing right on top of where they spawn most of the time. A fate like Svara or Behemoth? Forget about it. The bosses never load for me nor do other PC's, this includes party members and as a healer this creates huge issues. When there's 50+ people doing a fate it's impossible. I wonder if maybe SE can add an addition option to maybe hide/show other PC's, if that would help the load times. As it is now is unacceptable and unenjoyable.
