Monster Load Priority

[Luciano_Bozzelli]

Yes!! I was waiting for someone to tackle this subject. I was praying that the new servers would stop this problem, and allow us to play fine with seeing the enemies and the players, buts its ridiculous. Showing up to a FATE on time only to watch a 100 people swing at air, for finally the mob appears and he's damn near dead. And they play that victory music that touches your soul because you had no victory, you got no experience! Yes, please SE fine tune the FATE system so it doesn't lag lilke that.

I even have a problem with when I do see the mob, and I use a move, my character on screen doesn't even do the action, but I can see the GCD move normally. So I'm spamming moves, knowing that they are working because my GCD is moving, but my character is doing nothing but being frozen in position, and sliding around frozen once I move him, like he's in mid cast. Please address this SE. Thank you kindly.

P.S.- Now that the new servers are up, if it happens again, I'll try to take a picture of the madness.

Just lost the fight with odin at 1% becouse he spawns in a low lvl zerg area(the hell where you thinking putting him there!?)

We lost the fight ONLY becouse of him not loading while the low level zergs loaded instead.

Load priority - NPC - Party - Mobs - Random zerg - Companions - Minions. <- This load sequence makes sense

Load priority - Random zerg - Companion - Minion - NPC - Party - Mobs. <- That sequence makes NO sense at all and its amazing it is this way.

This is a problem that needs attention ASAP. Behemoth just spawned on Coeurl and my god. I couldn't get him to load unless I was under his legs. I died so many times because of invisible attacks and AoE. Please SE, give FATE mobs and bosses load priority over players. I don't need to see them.

[M4tthew]

I was on Coeurl too, I could see him unless I was next to him.

2 weeks into game and still no official word from SE on a fix for this problem. Seeing how turning on digital download sales again was priority.. I doubt that anything will be done regarding FATE /mob renders. PS3 users will suffer the most as there is nothing you can do to increase CPU functions. It is what it is.
By the way .. because the game will be a direct port from PS3 to PS4 dont expect a huge jump in performance. The basic concept for SE is to map the new buttons of the PS4 controller not the game content. So if your having trouble leveling to 50 on PS3 my only suggestion is to do Dungeon Runs over and over and over and over.

I don't expect this to be fixed anytime soon. This is really a shame as I was looking forward to getting to level 50. I'll probably stop playing all together if something isn't done in the next month.

SE you need to fix this. FATEs are such a huge part of this game (YOU ALMOST FORCE THEM ON US!) and they aren't playable once you get to around level 35.

how about:

NPC - Party - Mobs - non party players - Companions - SPELL EFFECTS - Minions

the option to disable or limit visible spell effects (none/self/group/all) is fairly standard, and I strongly suspect this plays a factor.
edit: actually found the section, hidden under character config->character. Counter-intuitive place to put a graphics setting, but it is there

Tired of dying to fate bosses (Gorgimera comes to mind) because I can't even see the red due to the ball of bluish-white caused by spell effects.

And seriously, auto-group function on fate 'discovery'

Just tried to fight Behemoth on Coeurl and only hit him at all because of spammed AoE attacks.

I'm getting this at most fates at my level! I have 50 meg cable and it has nothing to do with that. I am doing fates in southern shroud and instill have this problem
