delete Bahamut

[RhaegarFFXIFenrir]

I half made the title in jest, but there is a serious side to it. No one is going to deny that Bahamut looks cool, but its size can also be intrusive. As a melee, I've had to get really creative with my camera angles when there's a SMN in the party because the moment that thing comes out it generally blocks the view of my own character. This generally manifests itself either as a temporary loss in dps or me getting hit by an aoe that I could have easily avoided if only I could have SEEN my character. So, whereas the request to "delete Bahamut" is kind of a joke, I would like to request an option where we can adjust the transparency of pets. Thoughts people?

I'm a level 70 SMN and I even have to rotate my own camera around bahamut in order to see markers for mechanics sometimes. I think the best and fairest solution to this problem is to have Bahamut added as one of the effects that doesn't display if you have the "Show Limited" or "Show None" option ticked in the battle effects settings in the character configuration.

does anyone else think its funny how people complain about a TEMPORARY bahamut summon thats big when before SB, there were threads where every SMN and their mother were crying for larger egis cos "omg this isnt a smn,just look at those tiny laughable egis" ?





Sorry, not trying to discredit this thread...but I laughed pretty hard at people complaining about SMNs in HW. I can imagine Bahamut's size to be a nuisance.

delete Bahamut

NO! i love my behamut! he is perfect how he are.

but please can we get a huge SAM nerf! how the hell it can be that a tiny SAM with a small toothpick sized sword do more dps than a huge T13 savage bahamut? thats just abnormal and just makes no sense in my eyes!

Yeaah, Bahamut makes it a nightmare to see things. I would have no complaints about the ability to shrink him or make him (significantly) translucent. Although making it difficult to see is apparently just part of being a SMN, lookin at you Deathflare, my retina don't deserve that treatment.

My wifey got shocked by Bahamut for a split second in V1.0, it was kind of funny.

But yeah, Bahamut's a bit big to not have any option to hide him.

False dichotomies are funny, I agree :P

What I mean to say is, yes it is funny that a lot of people (myself included) are vindicated in our predictions, it's not exactly fair to group non Summoner complaints about Bahamut and Summoner desires for larger summons into the same camp.

I have always been on the "not convenient" side about those complaint and this Bahamut proves me even more right.

[SmallHobbit]

just add the bahamut on party effect list like deathflare thats all what needed to be done. i am main SMN and i dont have any problems with the size, i am never had a bad view but i am not play the game in 720 like some other ppl does i guess.
its same thing like fire 4 of BLM just put bahamut under party effects and the world is fine again and when someone dosent like him he can turn him off in settings under party effects!
i love him and i want to see him and he is not more disturbing than a fire 4 effect or any other party effect like monk elixir or what ever.

how are you guys having issues? the smn should be in the back of the group and in no way should bahamut be in your view pr camera. it spawn next to the smn.

That awkward moment in Susano Extreme when the stack mechanic occurs while Bahamut is out, and you can't see yourself beneath Bahamut so you get hit by an AoE you could *swear* you were out of...

Just an example of people's issues.

Also people had issues with DRK's aura somehow. This is bigger and more annoying than any aura lol
