Fully transparent pets, Familiars and Androids.
Comments
Unfortunately, we're stuck with the old codex from 2010-2011 for the foreseeable future. It'd be nice if Nexon were to implement the new one for reasons such as being able to actually see a boss that we're attacking, but I think asking for that in particular would be reserved for another thread at another time.
It would be nice, though, if Nexon America could find a way to make player-spawned familiars transparent regardless; I recently tried to face Will to learn the mechanics of the fight and was unable to see his animation for his "Moving Eye of Death" attack half of the time.
They should just add the option for all 3 of these things. There was a thread requesting this a long time ago and after half arsing it and adding an option to the skill animation sliders (which isn't even fully transparent) they mentioned that they may possibly bring an option to disable these features separately. Some people want to see their skill animations still because there are important ones like the Battle mage shell which ends up being barely visible after using the sliders. Adding options would solve all issues.
I imagine full transparency would look unusual to a GM at first glance. Though they could also consider client-sided vision of it. Then there would be a lot of functions to change in options. Like they had it so you don't have to see other player's damage. It sounds complicated, asking them to include something is easy enough but actually developing a code to make it work without issues is another thing. Think about the unscheduled maintenance they put us through after each update.
If they include Transparency and people report their pets or androids missing because they forgot they can't see it because of an option they've ticked, woe is Nexon. When it comes to Nexon, Nexon comes first then money; players are probably last on the list after dealing with hackers and botters.
I've forwarded this thread.
Client side is exactly how it should function. Most other MMOs have it like this.
I believe they already have part of the work done in settings. They already have sliders for options and tick boxes. They'd just need to add separate sliders for each option or allow us to tick what we want. It's obviously a bit more complex but I'm sure they can get it done fairly easily if they wanted to.
and one of the asked questions was regarding making seperate slides to make androids and pets etc invisible. they answered that they are working in improving the UI and going to take this suggestion in consideration.

Please add separate transparency toggle feature for Pets, Androids, and Familiars....
z.z Nexon is almost as bad as NCSoft when it comes to necessary game changes/additions.
