Ps3 fate grinds

[10TailBeast]

I'm not sure why FFXIV don't have a feature a lot like Aions being able to disable other people characters. It's like this, just disables all characters, leaves the mob and names available. It cuts masses of lag.

*SNIP*

I was actually thinking of something like patching this into the PS3 options (even PC if someone prefers it). Leave the AoE warning spots, life bars on screen, and the names. Damage can still be done, healers can see who needs lovin', and you still know when to gtfo of the way. I, too, have given up on Odin, Behemoth, and possibly 24-man parties on PS3. It saddens me a bit to think that Yoshida and his team knew of these issues and sold it to us anyway. *Shrugs* I'll probably have to buy a PS4 and another version of the game to get the full value out of it.

- Before a PC player posts "What did you expect with old hardware?"... I expected to be able to enjoy the game in it's entirety with plenty of graphical corners cut, not be left out of a sizable chunk of the game.

Confirmed - PS3 players are completely disadvantaged compared to our PC counterparts when it comes to FATEs.

I can only imagine what it will be like trying to play the Frontline battle system, when even more players and NPC's are going to be loading.

PS3 is almost 7 years old, and you use a controller to play. You will always be at a disadvantage.

Note that it's not as simple as switching rendering priority from players to monsters. If they did that, healers would have a very hard time targeting those that needed it (but would see all the enemies just fine).
They could make it class-dependent, but would still catch players that don't fit into the rigid boxes (as a THM I can still be the healer in a party). But yeah, making it selectable (a flip switch between monsters and players), and/or an option to disable all character models other than you own, certainly would not hurt.

This is literally my biggest problem with the game other than getting 1017.

@PhillyBop I don't think he is just talking about enemies rendering faster than players, more like the players can fill up his screen so much that he can no longer (with a controller) click on an enemy as it is covered by too many players, on a keyboard you can just start pressing tab and it will automatically find the enemy for you but i guess ps3 guys don't have that.

It is about enemies rendering faster, as in they really don't show up at all because of all the players. PS3 has tab targetting so that's not an issue. What we need is a system that allows enemies to have priority over players in fates. Also if somebody has an issue with not being able to target due to a lot of players you can change target filters in the character config.

Get a PC and all shall be solved... joking

It would be awesome if you could set the maximum amount of people on your screen to 10 or something. Or set it to "See friendly players only, or linkshell members etc.." Just too much stuff for this game to run smooth on the PS3 Having same issues.
