PC vs NPC rendering priority

I'm sure everyone has an issue with is rendering priority.

I play on ps3 an when I can't really participate in fates that have more than 15 people at once. I usually never see a single enemy for the duration of the fate while my ps3 struggles to render every single person participating an effects of spells and movements. Is it possible to create it so that enemy mobs have first priority then party members there after? Correct me if this is not a possibility or if this has been posted before and I will move on.

When I play on the PS3 I've had it where I'm not seeing enemy mobs and the battle music will pop up, I know I'm being attacked because I can see my health going down, yet I can't see what is attacking me. This happens when I'm just running around doing quests, which can be a tad annoying. I've found that by running away until I lose aggro and then logging in and out will fix the issue. I've yet to experience this issue when I play on my PC though. I agree something needs to be done for PS3 users!

It happens sometimes for me on PC, it's not just ps3

My bad, because I haven't had it happen on my PC and not heard other PC users mention the problem, I just assumed it was a PS3 issue.

I play on PC and I have this problem as well. It may just be because my computer is horrible and I'm using hardware that's 6 years old, but... I pretty much can't play the game any time during the day, period. I can't do fates because the mobs never show up for me, quest npc's take FOREVER to render and show up for me (it takes me about 5 minutes to turn in a quest and take another), mobs and field objects also take forever to render and show up, so there's pretty much a 2 or 3 minute delay on EVERYTHING I have to do. My only option at this point is to play the game after midnight, since that's the only time I can really even DO anything. After midnight when most players have logged off, this problem is pretty much non-existent.

I didn't have this problem until a few days ago, when they increased the amount of players that can be on a server. They really do need to modify the rendering priority. Trying to run around and actually play the game, and instead of rendering the small handful of things I actually need to be rendered, the game decides to first render 50+ players around me, who don't affect me in any way whatsoever, that ALL look different and are ALL wearing completely different gear (most of the time), just creating more work on the CPU and GPU. Not saying that players shouldn't be rendered, but NPC's DEFINITELY need to take priority to be rendered before players.

To S.E: show npc first instead of players
