    Being able to toggle of and on surrounding characters. Switching between, everyone is visible, only your party is viable, only you are visible. (The Character, NX, Dmg lines, Skills will be hidden)
    This will help a lot for actually playing the game and seeing your self and the boss. Doing the skill animations. Seeing what curses are effecting you.
    Maybe if someone dies he automatically becomes visible since its needed for res.

    what about hp-challenge characters that need HB from me? They'll be shouting "I NEED HB" and I'll be like WHERE WHERE! and then BAM. tombstone appears on the other side of the map because I can see them once they're dead.

    Good point, Ofc u can toggle to seeing your party only. but what if the order number of how the part is arrange also shows up above your team mates heads so u know NR 1 is leader and easier to find when u hide everyone. (being able to turn that on and off would also be lovely)

    true, being able to change the order in the pt list/hp list would be huge as well (and probably easier to implement?). I was just trying to be funny with my story.

    Sometimes existence of other players itself irritates you, need their dpm/buffs but nothing more than that. Scary opinion.

    now now, lets not be too negative; it's true that in some bosses its virtually impossible to see yourself

    Toggling on and off for other player’s cosmetics and effects would already make a good improvement. Especially in gm events or in super crowded areas with limited space.

    this feels similar to when during covid NBA finals had audience call in via Zoom lol
    attending 20-30man PB while only seeing you and your own party seems kinda sad

    maybe if there's a way to make our own characters always be at the forefront of the crowd, could be helpful?

    Maybe add Buddies and Guild/Alliance members, Spouse, to the list that can be toggled on/off too? If this could happen at all

    i like this idea but i was told this was hard to implement, for some reason i forget--maybe something about client/server. *shrugs*

    Seems like a skill issue if somebody is dumb enough to toggle off his own party during a boss fight.

    Yeah, it's really tough but not impossible, you're basically deliberately breaking portions of the data that's syncing between a client and the server about other clients' positions/animations/damage lines.

    It does seem like a really good thing to intermittently work on, because atleast when it comes to GM events or bossing, it's really hard to find your place in the world lol.

    i have a slight suspicion that the reason it's not fixed yet is because kimmy doesnt want to make the game too easy. That was the reasoning for not fixing pet auto-pot fails, and I feel like that similar logic could be applied for this too. I'd be happy though if im wrong and this eventually gets implemented

    Can definitely not do this outside in the grinding maps. People would 100% use this to crash other maps without checking @mapowner. There's a ton of petty people playing, so this would just be another way for them to ruin other peoples fun while grinding. It's happening from time to time even when you can see peoples characters. I can only imagine it getting 10 folds worse if you can have the option to hide other peoples and their effects.

    Even if you blacklist people, it won't do this. Apparently only their smegas you can't see.

    I like the idea of increasing visibility, but I don't think this is the way to do it. If there's a way to do something by playing with layers, or maybe options to hide other players' damage lines/summons or something, then I think that's much better. I think seeing other people is important though for an mmo. Community is a big part of the game and hiding people takes away from that.

    What if it only hide skill animations from others in bosses / raids? And u can turn it on and off switching between seeing only yourself, only ur party, and seeing everyone's skills. This could also help a lot with seeing what is happening.
    And having your char always on top maybe with some kinda of indicator so it is also easier to find.
    Toggeling dmg lines is also helpfull in some bosses like PB Left bird when u hit arial or HT where it could make it harder to see your self or for ht boss animations.
