FATE model loading is game-breaking; makes Svara, Behemoth, other FATEs unplayable

[Yamisniper]

It's the typical consolization of games getting in the way of proper game design. Yes, it SHOULD be a feature in the options menu, but it won't be.I find it hilarious that the FFXIV client thinks I need to be able to see peoples' goddamn battle chocobos but not Behemoth. "even though this system is working" my ass.

im sure se willf ix it but like i said disable name tags and shit

I agree with everything here. FATES are very I enjoyable because of this. My question a can you do something to ignore pets? So you don't target other?

Yes, you can shut that off in the character configuration section i believe. Not 100% sure, so i'm sorry if i'm wrong. I do think i saw those options in "Character configuration". Hope this helps.

Also, we understand that this same issue is occurring for other FATEs as well, but we are prioritizing Odin and Behemoth as this issue occurs much more often in these FATEs. We'll be addressing other FATE that have a high degree of urgency afterwards using the same methods.

We'd like to address this as quickly as possible and once we have some more information to share we will be sure to let you know!

ADD SVARA TO THE PRIORITIZATION LIST.

I posted this on a different thread a few weeks ago. It is very much an issue.

On the PS3 here... Stood around watching people do something in a large group.... several minutes in, Behemoth popped up and I attacked him for a couple seconds. No animation, just a still behemoth. Then my character just dies...Behemoth was no longer visible...I get raised....and I sat there and waited and received a few grand company tickets and a behemoth horn... at least I got the horn.

I read the post from the admin just now...I'd like to note that the issue (on PS3 at least) is not just a few FATEs but just about any FATEs where a large amount of mobs or people are. When I'm in a FATE group, I usually enter and stand still for 10-20 seconds waiting for things to appear....and by the way, party effects are all turned to the lowest possible setting.

As others have said I don't see how this is going to help my wife playing on ps3 will often lose sight of me or enemies all over the place, in or out of fates where there are a lot of people, now she has gotten to 38 and in coethas areas, this is very prevalent.

Display priority needs to be set, was this not learnt from 1.0 with retainers and quest npcs not appearing.

I have had a level 50 since release and I haven't even bothered going near Behe/Odin etc. I am not even going to bother trying until something is fixed, because from what i have heard/read it is a massive waste of time and a stressful non-event that is over in a quick zerg flash. We know this is only going to get worse as more people hit the 50 mark on each server...

My suggestion would be to make 3 versions of each (i.e. 3 Behemoths) and make them pop simultaneously in about 3 different zones. This way not everyone is piling into the same FATE, and at least some of the congestion will be eased.

As a workaround in the meantime following these steps can alleviate most of the issues:

1. Open Character Configuration menu. (Hotkey: K)
2. Select Name Display tab.
3. Select Hide from the drop down at the top to hide all names.

Turning this to Hide during one of those congested fates and then turning it back to your normal setting when done works wonders. It is a bit of an inconvenience to have to do, more-so if you use a custom name display set-up, but its worth doing to allow you to see the boss all of the time.

Other things you can do to help:
-turn off flying text
-set graphical effects to Show None for yourself, party members, and/or others
-turn off showing effects while in motion

I've found these to be less useful than the name display, but they do help a bit. If you're looking for just one thing you can easily turn off, go with names. These others are useful if you find that name display isn't enough. Source: http://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/commen...th_fix_inside/
