Can we get a toggle for SMN's Bahamut Egi.

I get it, summoners wanted a proper summon like FFXI, and honestly I don't want to be that guy that takes it away from them. But we really should have an option to turn him off if we're not playing SMN as he takes up far too much screen real-estate depending on what job you play and your positioning in relation to the SMN. While this example is just a duty roulette run and therefore not really a big deal, this often happens when we're in close for Susano, causing real problems.

How is anyone's screen up so close that Bahamut is actually in the way to the point you can't see big mechanic graphics. Are people really running dungeons with the camera not pulled back at max? As SMN during these heavy movement fights, i'm the one with Bahamut right up under my butt 24/7 with mechanics and i'm fine with dodging things.

The screen shot is me zoomed all the way out. As I said the amount of screen he takes up depends on your distance and positioning in relation to the summoner. I get it, you're a SMN and don't want your new skill changing, I'm not suggesting changes I just want to be given the option to not see it.

I have played with several other SMN and no Bahamut has ever taken that much of the screen up zoomed all the way out (including when stacked together). Seems like a strange camera positional to begin with wouldn't simply turning or moving the camera not solve this issue? Seriously, melee classes are fighting with mobs and giant bosses infront of their screen most of the time and they manage alright. Maybe make him stationary at best. Still don't see how it's an issue, the image comes of as if it was trying to get an awkward angle.

Of course, the issue couldn't possibly be with the skill and must be with the player. I'm clearly lying in order to...

Oh wait, there's literally no reason for me to lie.

your not, you are absolutely correct, whats interesting is that he is debating it as if your asking for it to be changed when you clearly stated you just want the ability to make it so you don't have to see it lol.

at any rate me and my raid group have actually talked about this too in cord although it doesn't bother us too much, the bahamut is pretty big on screen even zoomed out depending on how you have your camera and can easily block visibility on fights like susanEX when you need to see if you have lighting or not and so on.

and if he needs more proof here is a picture my raidmate posted on cord about the issue.

I'm not saying you are, but after talking with more than one person, on various forums this seems to be a problem of the few more than the majority.

I mean. Who has their camera angled on the ground like that? Thats the worst place to see mechanics lol.

Camera angled in the heavens is the only way to play lol.

It's not hard to step aside as smn - if rude randoms pisses me of I don't give a fuck if the grp is nice I'll move a bit - easy like that. :o
