Odin just spawned on Gilgamesh, and I was unable to see him, which was very frustrating. First I tried fighting him as Summoner, but couldn't see him. I switched to monk, but even being right on top of him ( as I initially thought distance was the issue ) didn't help. Then, I went to my "Character Configuration" -> "Display Name Settings" -> "Display Name Presets" -> "Hide". Once I clicked Apply, I was able to see him consistently from max casting range. Going to "Control Settings" -> "Character" and setting "Effects while in motion" to "Off" and setting all Battle Effect Settings to "Show None" should help as well, though I was not able to confirm this during the encounter. I initially thought that the client simply had a limit on 3d models being displayed based on proximity, but now I think it simply has a hard cap on elements being displayed - where elements are just about anything - name plates, 3d models, spell fx.. This worked reliably for me, and should work for everyone else as well. More people being able to actually see Odin -> Higher chance we can actually kill him before the Failure-finisher. TL;DR: Esc -> "Character Configuration" -> "Control Settings" -> "Character" -> "Effects while in motion" -> "Off" -> all "Battle Effect Settings" -> "Show None" -> "Display Name Settings" -> "Display Name Presets" -> "Hide" -> "UI Settings" -> Uncheck "Display Flying Text" Congratulations! Now you can target and DPS the boss without him disappearing. Edit: Going first person / zooming in should help as well ( but is probably unnecessary with the above fixes ). As it should mean your client won't have to display people outside of your ( more restricted ) vision. Edit 2: Behemoth spawned & killed on gilgamesh. Was able to see him whole time and finally got gold & achievement ( as opposed to always getting silver ). I hope this helped other people get gold as well! Edit 3: The idea that this would affect models phasing out came to me because I noticed icons on the minimap disappearing in quarrymill. When Odin kept disappearing my brain made the connection with icons disappearing, giving me the idea. /random Edit 4: A FC-mate on a laptop also mentioned that this significantly boosted his FPS, so if you suffer under having a low FPS, this may help a bit beyond just tweaking the graphics settings. Edit 5: Added another option that should help - disabling floating combat text. Thank you /u/Pikupstyks !
