[Suggestion] Hiding more effects to reduce lag

[Alexmancer]

Some things could be hidden, yes, but I think things like the curses and the mages fire are needed so you know where not to step in a fight.

agree with this

Right it can be REALLY laggy when auras and sperions on and sometimes make me d/c causing me to miss somethings. Thanks for posting this thread Squid

With the new merges, a lot of us are worried about lag. Heck, some of us were already worried about lag even before the merges were announced.

As it is, the show/hide players only removes players and mounts. And show/hide effects seems to be useless except for torches' effects.
So I asked in world chat and here's a list of things we'd like to also be able to hide using show/hide effects or show/hide players:

sperions (high demand)
auras (high demand)
priest curses (high demand)
pets
pixies
frost
meteors
mages fire
"the dumb orange shield bubble thingy"
buffs animations (ex: Circle of Power)
"pretty much anything with a graphic"

We'd really appreciate it if any of the above, especially the ones in high demand, could be hidden.
Thank you very much.

We'd appreciate even more if we had a way of choosing what to take away, so that people can tailor their hide settings to their needs and to upcoming events. But honestly we'd just be happy to at least have the ones people agree about (buffs, auras, sperions, anything that isn't necessary because it's cosmetic or shown with icons).

I agree about this, especially the damn priest curse and mage's fire, hide them all B)))


and i just realized, u know what, if hiding most of the effect, then just dont play the game ahahah xD (no offense)

Thank goodness the game isn't about the effects >.> Hiding effects/players, for the most part, doesn't diminish the experience. We can still see players' names, we can do more dungeons and events. Do we wish we could keep all the effects? I know I do and I bet most of us do, but if this is the only way to make it playable then so be it. Some of us don't care about effects as long as the game can still be played.

I like this suggestion if this is really possible please make it come true.
Remove pets for Avarnal is certainly +1 ( also Gr etc )
