Priority for character visualization

[LetBloodline]

You got lucky to at least see him, it took me 3 attempt to get a glimps of svaara =P

tanks for contributing with video

this need to be adressed

One thing i noticed meanwhile

If i cast blizzard 2 near where companions are battling the umbral ice get refreshed even if i don't see the dragon and i get the reward. So if you don't see the boss, spam nontarget AOE in the position and you should at least get contribute bonus

As a workaround - definitelly not as a (final) solution - first of all even if you don't have mob rendered on screen you should be able to "select" it using F11 (or some other targeting keys available). Secondly - you can change in the setting which actions are displayed, taking of most (all) of them apart your own might help a bit here too.

Well, if mob is not rendered i can't target him. Worst, if i had it targetted and he disappear i am left with no target at all =/
Where are exactly those settings please? I'll definitly try to turn them off and see if this will ease the problem

I'll try that again tonight but I think I've managed to actually target the "invisible" mob this way in some FATEs. The settings are in the System (or Character? can't check it rihgt now) setting. If you'll not find it let me know and I'll post the exact location once back home.

Honestly, I would think the solution would be as simple as giving us the ablility to turn on/off non party(alliance) member companions/pets, as well as non party(alliance) players. Aion had this, and it made doing anything where there was a mass of people ALOT less laggy. We can already turn off peoples shadows and such, why not turn them off entirely.

I'm not home as well so i'll dig the settings later
I am on Ps3 anyway, hope this won't make a difference

even this can be a solution but i find best way is make them lower priority, render them only if all other things are rendered =o so if you don't have the resources to show them they are hidden, otherwise they will be shown without drowbacks (well, excluding epilessy in limsa lominsa XD)

seems like it should be simple to just add a button to turn off/on various aspects pointed out in this thread.

-off/on check box (or even better a hotbar command )companion, pets, non-targetted monsters in fates ( or more specifically, monsters that you don't care about, like you only want to see the main monster and any adds for a fate, and maybe aggroing regular spawn mosters (that have actually aggro'd someone), not all the surrounding regular spawn mobs), characters outside party/alliance

- I think a huge part of this, and expecially the video a page or so back, is to turn off character visualizations (which is already in the game if I recall...I'm at work so I can't check either).

-I'm sure it would be nice to have a visualization order something like this: self>party/alli>target monster>fate adds>aggro monsters>other players>pets>choco's>companions...but honestly I don't care about seeing pets or choco's very much, and i definitely don't want to see a baby behemoth or a chigoe or something, and I'm not sure how complex the code for visualization order would be compared to just adding an on/off switch....at least for now, on/off switch would be much more useful.

I can't fate grind because the mob won't pop up on the ps3 this is not good at all I play tank class. How can I do my job if I can't see the mob. I had to go back to questing if I wanted to lv. Been so frustrated it has lead me to fish and lv low classes all day

[Vestall]

Buuuump. I just upgraded my Internet today from 6 mb dsl to 50 mb cable hoping to alleviate the issue but still no change in fates which is the main problem but duty finder is much better now
