Visibility of void-zones

[Morgrin]

Well....
I reay get in trouble with this void zones.....
The first time i have noticed that there are some void-zones i cant see was in the first lvl50 8ppl duty... I just keep dying in some fire-aoe...
Then, today in Amdapor, 2nd Boss..... nothing. Cant see any of his areas of effect...

Does anyone have similar problems of the visibility of these void-zones?
Maybe there is a setting in my grafic-options or something....
Pls help me.... this is so anoying....

Yeah well, its quit a german expression for the area of effect zones....
I dont know how "english-ppl" call its
If u stand inside, u get dmg^^

[worldofneil]

Ah, gotcha. Yeh I think most of the English people call those AoE (literally short for Area of Effect as you put). Thanks for explaining, at least we'll know now if anyone uses that wording in future

Sorry that I don't have an answer to your question though other than perhaps try updating your graphics card drivers maybe.

It's not a similar situation I wonder to those sprites you need to kill in one of the earlier dungeons before they reach an bonfire in the center? (or fire damage to all allies) or like Ifrit's nail?

i.e., is it something that hits the entire screen providing you don't destroy/damage/interact with a target before a certain point?

[Morgrin]

Well, im using a AMD Radeon HD 6800, and also the AMD VISION Engine Control Center, do get the optimal grafix settings in all my games.
It also automaticly updating the drivers, so this cant be the problem...

Yeah, its exactly this thing.
I cant even see these sprites, i just can target them because of there Name-Bar. Also the fire, wind and lightning sprits in the open world, i just can see there names, but there is no skin....
I think this is connected to the problem of the visibility of the AOE-Zones...

In WoW certain bosses had attacks literally called 'Void Zone' but it was not the general term used for harmful AoE effects. Aside from that example, when I think of 'void zone' I think of the area underneath the world that is often reachable in many MMOs due to slightly incomplete maps/exploiting.

Anyway, the TC is talking about harmful AoE effects by bosses, you can think of the term 'void zone' simply as 'the place you don't want to be standing during the fight'.

The most universal term for this, while being less generic than 'AoE', is simply: The Fire. Don't stand in the fire!
