Starry Muse effect should be shown when OWN battle effects are set to Show Limited.

From the 7.1 patch:


This change affects both OWN and PARTY Battle Effect Settings and it shouldn't. This seems like an oversight, a bug, or a bad decision.

Please differentiate between the two, as it is important for the Picto to see the its own circle.
We (when playing Picto) should still be able to see our Starry Muse circle when (Own) battle effects are set to Show Limited.

Personally, I'm unable to play with Show All due to hypersensitivity, and having the Limited option was a blessing for accessibility.

Show Limited should hide visual clutter whilst keeping useful information on screen. This goes agains the point of having the option to begin with.

Sent a bug report, hoping it truly is just an oversight.

They over-corrected horribly by making the magicked circle completely invisible. The problem was the flower field texture obscuring floor markings. They should have made just that part disappear, while keeping the circle outline. It's important for everyone to know where the circle is; we just need to be able to see the floor too.

They might also have an engine limitation in the client that prevents them from making it a separate effect for own versus others. It wouldn't surprise me given the state of the engine itself and its many weird tech debt idiosyncrasies.

Though I find it amusing that they ran into the problem of not being able to see the floor due to animations all the way back in HW with DRK's unleash (iirc, the PBAoE,) and the solution was to hollow out the inside and put in a spiral instead of a flood of black. I find it mildly amusing that the devs continue to repeat mistakes and ignore lessons learned in Heavensward, both in EW and DT.
