Monster Load Priority

[Ignnis]

I've "done" the Svara fate around 10 times, in the time I've seen Svara for around 15 seconds ish altogether. My ps3 just thinks that rendering useless crap like chocobos and minions (for the love of Christ WHY!?) is more important than the freaking boss! Atleast give us a render priority checklist >>.

High-end PC users will be patronising us PS3 and low-end PC users in future when they have had the opportunity to repeatedly grind FATEs for levels. In the near future (taking into account how rapidly you level with FATEs), High-end PC users will have all the best gear and levels.

On Goblin Server I only first encountered this problem with the Svara fight. It is annoying as hell.

YES! I can't even do certain fates in the South Shroud because they literally just aren't there. I see people attacking, but by the time I can see an enemy it's dead already. It's a combination of them being too weak and the enemies not being visible to me in the first place

I wish I had a hundred thumbs so I could like OP a hundred times.

Whoever thought that seeing players was more important than, seeing the objective, was completely out of his mind.

how about:

NPC - Party - Mobs - non party players - Companions - SPELL EFFECTS - Minions

the option to disable or limit visible spell effects (none/self/group/all) is fairly standard, and I strongly suspect this plays a factor.
edit: actually found the section, hidden under character config->character. Counter-intuitive place to put a graphics setting, but it is there

Tired of dying to fate bosses (Gorgimera comes to mind) because I can't even see the red due to the ball of bluish-white caused by spell effects.

And seriously, auto-group function on fate 'discovery'

Not only do I have effects for all characters turned off already, but I also have all names and health bars disabled for everyone who isn't a party member or NPC unless I target them. It still doesn't help. I'm not even near Coerthas in my game yet, and I'm having this issue with popular Fates. Cancer in the the "It's Not Lupus" fate is not playable. I can see plenty of other people fighting and/or standing around getting killed, but no monster. This needs immediate action.

Guys, join a party with PC players (preferably) , they are going to have more of a chance of being able to see and hit monsters. Giving you loads of XP and gold medals, even if you rarely contribute.

It's the only way to do it.

But why should we HAVE to do that? Some people like soloing, some people like doing fates while waiting for duty finder, some people can't find parties regardless of how many shouts and invites they throw out there.

This is where you are wrong sir, i have a high end PC , and on the Svara fight and Behemoth fight mobs dissapear and re appear constantly, this has already been accepted officialy as a bug not only for PS3 users and low end PC users, everyone even us with high end PCs (2,000$+ to be exact) experience this bug.

Svara doesn't even appear once on PS3, let alone the dragon adds. This happens commonly with other FATEs as well, even ones which require you to kill mobs. The sheer numbers of players there causes so many issues and I see people being able to attack all the time when I'm left standing there figuring out what to do.
High-end PC users will have "more of a chance" of being able to see the monsters/bosses in FATEs.
