    Character
    Aethlin Minithar
    World
    Leviathan
    Main Class
    Conjurer Lv 50

    Party members invisible/untargetable in Praetorium boss fights

    Date & Time:
    first occurence for me was on 22-09-2013, around 7:25pm (GMT+2) (but it has occured every time I entered the "Praetorium", in varying degrees of severity)

    Frequency:
    Always

    Character Name:
    Aethlin Minithar

    Race:
    Lalafell F

    World:
    Duty Finder (entered from Leviathan)

    Class/Level:
    WHM/50

    Area:
    Praetorium, Research Level, Laboratorium Primum and The Echelon

    Party or Solo:
    Party, 8-man
    (though solo Duty Finder queue)

    NPC Name:
    None

    Monster Name:
    Nero Tol Scaeva, Gaius van Baelsar

    In-Game Time:
    varies

    Steps:
    1. I entered the dungeon “Praetorium” alone through the Duty Finder and was partied with others.
    2. My party and me were following the dungeon objectives normally.
    3. The first time in the “Praetorium” both me and my party members watched the cutscenes. In the subsequent runs I skipped them, as did most of my party members.
    4. After the cutscene that plays right before the battle with Nero Tol Scaeva, a number of party members had disappeared.
    5. After asking where they had gone, we discovered that while the minimap and their own chat messages placed them right around me, I could not see or target them. The amount of party members, and which one(s) would become invisible/untargetable, changes every time I enter the “Praetorium”.
    6. The stats of the missing party members show up normally in the Party window, but they can’t be targeted, similar to when a party member is far out of range in a normal situation.
    7. Even though I can't see or target them, the missing party members can still see, and target, me. Usually, for them everything seems as it should be. One time, the other WHM in the party had the same problem as me, although for her only one party member had disappeared (a Paladin tank), while for me, in addition to the same tank, a Monk was also ‘missing’.
    8. The missing party members will still take damage and get targetted by enemies.
    9. Medica, Medica II and other untargeted and/or party-wide skills still affect the ‘missing’ party members normally.
    10. I can still target all enemies and visible party members normally.
    10. During the fight against Nero Tol Scaeva, the purple beam that links a Magitek Death Claw to a player is aimed (diagonally) down and disappears beneath the floor when a ‘missing’ party member is targeted.
    11. After the cutscene that triggers on entering The Echelon after the fight against Nero Tol Scaeva the same party members remain invisible/untargetable.
    12. After the cutscene before the fight against the Ultima Weapon all party members are visible and targetable again.

    note:
    I made a screenshot during the first of my "Praetorium" runs, though it is not that clear since it's what I'm not seeing that is the problem. On this screenshot, the Paladin and Marauder were standing right next to Nero, the Monk and the Dragoon (at least on everyone else's screens XD), however they don't show up for me. Neither do the Black Mage and White Mage who where supposedly standing right next to me and the Summoner.
