Square, for the love of god, FIX THE RENDERING ON PS3. I do not care if I never see another player in the field for the rest of my days playing this, You made FATE grinding the only reliable way to level past your first job to 50, and then you made it so that nothing will render if there are too many players, which happens in every popular fate zone(popular because of ease of travel, fate spawn timers, and well, there are all of two choices for any given bracket past 30)
okay. this is really starting to piss me off.

There was a server wide screenshot on Balmung a few nights ago, and for those of us on ps3, that meant all 30 of us. Jokes aside, I saw a pic taken from a PC and it was incredible how many people were actually there that I couldn't see.
OP, I know this is the opposite of what you're talking about, but it's a rendering issue nonetheless. Blah blah blah ps3 limitations, bring on the ps4 version! -

Ey, seems like you need to invest in Sony® Playstation 4™ to make it so you can see things in the heat of battle

Obviously if you cannot see the FATE monsters, then FATE grinding isn't the best way for you to farm. This was SE's plan all along to distribute players to other leveling areas. PS3 users stick to dungeons, PC master race, I mean, PC level with FATEs.

I'm picking up a PS4 in approximately 26 and one half hours, give or take there being a line. the ps4 beta doesn't start until February.
And I don't have the space for a gaming PC desktop, so I'm stuck with a laptop(not the one I'm posting from, ancient(black plastic) macbook.) and the one that I had my eye on sold out two days before I had the cash for it(acer, good graphics card, good processor, and I can swap all the other parts out with ease so who cares about them, it should come back on the market in about 2 months with a slightly better build and the same relative price.)
If I had the space for it, I would simply build my own, especially since I could spread the cost out over a while instead of all upfront. -

A PS4 for what when the game doesn't start in Feb for PS4, derp.
If PC people have problems with FATE's loading...who's ta say PS4 WON'T BE DA SAME!

Fates are not right and I don't think its all on the PS3. Yes some of it is but weird stuff still happens.
I see behemoth/odin 100% of the time if I am dead but if I am alive its 50/50. Summoner pets always load first. Its not uncommon for me to see 10 ifrit/garudas around me and only a few actual players. -
11-28-2013, 03:25 PMKnowlesie75
yea i am on PS3 and have the same issues. It also takes away from the immersion of the game.....
While I have done the changes (which do appear to help) I do not think i should have too to enjoy the game as it should be.
Finally i am sure there was some post where SE said they were going to change the priorities of what show ups first. I can not remember if this was for all time or only certain FATES/events etc -

Rendering is a problem on all versions of the game - from model display to nameplate display to even the icons on the minimap.

An SSD for the PS3 helps a lot for fates and rendering times. It's a significant difference to be honest, and using Svara as an example because I tend to stay away from Odin and Behemoth, I haven't had any issues whatsoever seeing all mobs except for those outside the grids as SE mentioned. What I mean by that is, if Svara is on the wall then it's outside the grid on the tower and won't be seen unless you move to the next grid block where Svara is standing. PC suffers this as well though so it's not just PS3.
It really is worth getting one because FATES are 100x better with it, and seeing as FATES are the only way to lvl atm it makes a huge difference on gameplay. The price is the only problem really and seeing as the PS4 is out and the beta starts in Feb, it might not be worth getting one now, but if it really is too annoying then it's a good solution. -
11-28-2013, 05:15 PMRyansThey are supposed to make monsters have priority in being displayed in 2.1. That means they will be the first thing being loaded around your character and then other players and so on. Should make them always visible. As for Fate grinding... SE said Dungeons will be better EXP than Fates in 2.1 as well. So it should be a moot issue as far as the concerns you brought up go.Quote:

Oh yay you gotta love smart people : Oh, want a fix? BUY A PS4! EVERYTHING IS FINE NOW! SPEND MORE MONEY! (YES I ASSUME YOU HAVE MONEY)
*Facedesk*
Some people... -
11-28-2013, 05:46 PMKyrieaIt's the only solution I'm afraid, people who bought the game for PS3 should have known better seeing as it's a 7 year old-ish console and the PS4 is right around the corner. I play on PS3 but knew exactly what I was getting into. Unfortunately SE won't be doing much else to fix it so people can cry over it all they want but it probably won't be "fixed" any time soon. The options are to put up with it which is entirely possible, it's not impossible to do most FATES on PS3 only the large ones, or to spend money to make it better like anything in this world.Quote:

I really hope fates aren't the best thing for leveling in 2.1. It's more infuriating, and somehow at the same time less fulfilling than a dungeon run.

My brothers play PS3 so I actually have to stand somewhere and tell them to AOE that particular spot so they can get credit.

11-29-2013, 11:26 AMGilthasYou can easily level up doing dungeons or leves, so no, FATE grinding isn't the only reliable way to level past your first job, its just the fastest way.Quote:

They are addressing the majority of this in 2.1, especially odin / behemoth issue
The game will also be available on PS4 which is suppose to be better too...
