Looks like Se wont change object priority loadingFollow

except for the two fates dealing with Odin and Behemoth:

Hello,

The development team is aware of the issue that occurs when a large amount of players congregate for the Odin and Behemoth FATEs that the server can becomes unstable and characters are not displayed properly.

The below two points are high on the priority list in order to address the issue:

•Zone enhancements
There are times that the server will crash when more than 1,000 players gather within a zone. In order to prevent this from happening, we'll be implementing zone enhancements.


•Display prioritization adjustments
FFXIV: ARR has been designed with a system to display the appropriate number of characters while maintaining non-laggy conditions even when there are a large amount of players centralized in a location. However, even though this system is working, for these two FATE there is an issue where Odin and Behemoth are not being displayed. In order to resolve this issue, we'll be putting in a separate system specifically for these two FATE, and addressing it so the enemies are displayed properly even during times of congestion.

As mentioned, these two adjustments are high on the priority list so we can address this issue; however, it will take a little bit until everything is completed. We apologize for any inconveniences until then.

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!

I guess this happening 100% of the time on the Svara FATE isn't "often" enough.

I've done that fate a bunch of times, and i never have had a problem with it. I can't speak for Odin and Behemoth though. It might just be that i haven't done it during peak hours, still, tons of people doing it when i do.

The 3-4 Svaras I've done I was always able to keep it on-screen.

I've yet to see Behemoth.

Did 2 Odins, first he stayed visible. Second I could never keep him targeted, and unsurprisingly the who area got Zan'd.

Why the default priority isn't "Party > NPC/Monster > Non-Party > Pets/Minions" and cutting things off from right to left is beyond me.

the couple times that Svara had enough people zerging to make him disappear, i noticed turning my camera to an overhead view helped, and helps in general probably due to drastically fewer polygons being displayed at that angle

It'd be really nice if you'd post a link when you start info threads.

I absolutely did not downrate you in either of the two info threads you posted without links today. I thought I'd just ask nicely instead.

You should simmah down nah.

Also, I searched for the info in your 2.1 endgame nerf thread and got no results. Sure maybe my google-fu failed me, but it's just courtesy to cite where you're getting your info (grease society's wheels and all).

You copy-paste the link, like this:

For the record, after you made your post ******** about karma, I kicked yours in the balls on this thread. Don't whine about karma, and don't call people lazy when you couldn't be ***** to copy-paste a URL.

Edit: Beat to it. I should have refreshed my page before responding...
