    Hi,

    One of my pet peeves for a while has been character visiblility in instances. It feels weird to not be able to see your own character in an RPG. Especially in one where platforming and positioning is a major part of the game.

    Some say it adds to the difficulty, which is true, but unfortunately not in a skill challenging way. It seems to be random upon other players NX/skillcasts? Chalkboarding is of course an option but that feels like duct-taping the problem.

    Is there a way to enable your own character to be visible at all times?

    Example of it happening:[​IMG]

    People employ various tricks. From character name tags, to attaching phrases to your buff macros. But, in all I agree, it can be a challenge especially in busier bosses... and I'm not sure there's a perfect solution.

    Recognizing your hitmarkers when at the very limits of your range or melee hitboxes to confirm attacks among everyone else's in large expeditions too can require absolute eagle eyedness (ie nating pb body, ariel, ht la). To almost play devil's advocate though, if it wasn't at its greatest relevance in the small handful of already not spoonfed content, the challenge would practically be a benefit to gameplay overall. I fully expect however that client mods to ease this struggle have been in the works ins some way since not long after pb released. Has there been any comment by staff in other threads along these lines?

    I feel like the easy "solution" is just a z-index (as per web dev) problem, where you character, damage, and effects should always be on top of other's.

    If everybody relies on adding more visual clutter to see themselves behind visual clutter, then we're no better off than we started.
