    This is how I learn this is a feature already?! I've been running alliance raids with an entire light show for years!

    This might have been fixed since I last looked at this, and may or may not be related to the thread.

    One thing I want them to fix is letting us see our DOT damage when we have other people's damage numbers disabled. It's so weird that if I place Dia on an enemy, I can't see the damage of it whenever it ticks. Maybe it's because the DOT is counted as a separate "source" of damage or something, but either way it seems silly that it hides the damage numbers

    I see TONS of comments like this one in many MMO communities, lol.
    Am I the only person whose 1st hour in every game is thoroughly checking out the available settings?

    For me, it's when doing something like the final boss of the 24 man, I CANNOT SEE the arms/circle thing before the three charges unless I have spell effects off. If I have them off (or have only mine showing), I can see them clear as day. I do agree it's partly how attacks are telegraphed. I remember the first time trying to do Savages being like "Wait, so you have to look at the boss?" "Yeah, when Eric has his arm up, you can see these three gems, and..." "Wait, you can see his arm?!" It was the weirdest thing since I was used to encounters...not doing that. In Extremes, there were a few that did, but usually the attack tell was the name (a lot of ShB Extremes had like in/out mechanics with different names), or the boss would do something noticeable, like Titania. When she does the in/out runes, people would talk about a purple or green glow. I couldn't see those OVER THE VISUAL SOUND OF HOW AWESOME EVERYONE'S SPELLS WERE...but I COULD see her wings, and that's the tell I used. Her wings either floof out and she rises or they bunch in and she slightly crouches. And her wings stuck out far enough I could usually see them sticking out of the mass of spell effect lightshow.

    Now, "look at the boss" has become a thing in even normal content - which is kind of annoying for this reason - so I've taken to turning my spell effects to self only and party limited. Now I can see the boss tells fine and they're super easy!...but now the immersion is garbage since the SGE, BLM, etc next to me looks like a total impotent moron flailing about and doing nothing.

    I really wish there was some happy medium OR we could go back to boss tells being away from their body and obvious enough by either visual or name that even with spell effects on, you can work it out. As things used to be.

    Try that, it really helps. Not with the explosion on the boss (that's the spell effect), but you don't have Titan's glorious arse filling your ENTIRE camera. If you want Titans' glorious arse filling your entire camera, though, you'd want /petsize all large.

    To be fair, that one's hidden in an odd place. Who'd think under "general -> character" you'd find visual spell settings? Not under visuals or display or hud or party. It's not in a really logical place.

    And comments like that are what people should remember - while things may seem obvious to people who have been around for a while, not only are they not necessarily so to new people, they may not be so to older people as well.

    I still think it's pretty nuts that the devs are okay with the way it is as the default.

    Hey cuties! Just enter the following in chat:

    /petsize all small

    This will shrink down all non-permanent summons to tiny size and make it much easier to navigate around them.

    To revert this, use /petsize all large. There is also /petsize all medium if you like a middle ground between those.

    You can also just change the size of individual summons if u prefer leaving them at different sizes for some reason: /petsize Demi-Bahamut small for example.

    Doesn't help with the constant flashbangs, though.

    Yeah, unfortunately if you wanna get rid of those you have to get rid of everything via limited effects .
