FF14 NEEDS Guild Wars 2's culling system

[Fantasy9]

It is even worse with Odin. I was with a bunch of ppl trying to kill Odin and couldn't even see him. We end up failing because we can't kill him fast enough. Also, Behemoth is the size of a small mountain and he magically disappears? How does something that size just disappear?

id rather have gw2's system of copying your character to a server that isn't full so you can still play while queue'd for your main server

God no! Please please PLEASE NO. Being able to only see the players within 5 meters of you is one of the worst things gw2 had. It is so immersion breaking to only see people who are right next to you. If there are problems with monsters being invisible then maybe your computer isn't able to handle the game well. I play on a 4 year old laptop and can only run low-medium settings and I've never had this problem. The way gw2 handled this was absolutely terrible and no game should ever reproduce it. Hell I'd take 5 fps and serious server lag over not being able to see things, it is a cheap and terrible way to fix a problem.

Are you talking about the Overflow world? That is a really good feature they had.

Lets see you say that when you can't see Behemoth or Odin and get killed in one attack because you didn't see it coming.

Don't worry, if you're on the PS3 you can't see the players or the mobs. This display priority has been like that since 1.0 by the way.

You haven't participated in Behemoth, Odin, or Svara's Fall I see.

So...I'm the only one that can see all mobs at all times? Interesting *writes note to self to congratulate self on GPU purchase*.

Yeah, i'm glad I returned the PS3 version and built a budget gaming box for FFXIV. Not only are the graphics infinitely better (it's truly amazing on max settings), but you can actually do the fates. I've had ZERO problems seeing mobs on the fates. Radeon 7950 runs laps around this game.

If your level 15 is your highest class, then you have not seen what we're talking about. Seriously, it's nigh-impossible to keep Odin or Behemoth targeted for more than about a minute at a time, because they will cull, and there's a good chance they will hit you (probably killing you) while they're completely invisible to you.

This. I've got my targeting set up for just Enemies/Aggroed enemies, but for some @#%^ing reason the targeting still cycles through those gd carbuncles.

this. why for the love of god do summons become the go-to with targeting. no matter how you filter them the gd fairy or carby seem to draw my target cross-hairs first. i want a summons OFF option
