is there any way to disable some effects?

NeKryXe

Is there any command, code, mod, hack or something to disable all or some monster head effects? In fact I just need to disable two animations or effects that are commonly used and cause me some confusion many times. It would be nice if we could just disable it in the video menu, most animations are only useful for the player wearing it and not needed for the others.

I understand that this might be something impossible to solve with an addon, if it was possible I'm sure that it would be very popular already. So, I'm thinking more of a fix from some expert in code.

One effect that I'd really love to disable is the gigantic and highly intrusive orange circle from the Encratis's Behemoth set. This one is hideous and confusing anywhere. The other one is the pathetic Daedroth of Maw of the Infernal that constantly spawns exactly over my tank and I can't see anything. When there's more than one player with that crap, it becomes crazy to see my own stuff. I understand that some may enjoy it, but there's really no need to constantly cover other players with that Daedroth.

Unfortunately no. I agree that some monster sets are too full-on and need to be toned down. Also some combat pets spawn on top of you, which looks super funky. Direwolves being a prime example, both of them stack inside your avatar, wth

They could simply make them transparent, like Selene's Bear, I think that no one have trouble with that one.

Also, unlike the horrendous orange circle from the Encratis's Behemoth the Grothdarr's aoe seems perfectly ok to me. But I feel like the Encratis's Behemoth effect is probably the worst visual effect of the game.

I hate that stupid lizard too. It turns tanking into an annoying slog. The development team really needs to get some people who actually play tanks on their team because it's obvious they don't have any. Otherwise that monster set would have never made it out of development designed the way it is. It doesn't help that set is super popular now either. Everyone and their mother uses it.

It's pathetic! When tanking I'm constantly changing place to see my char, and the damn beast keeps appearing over and over again. You are probably right, the development team never played tank. But they should be already aware of this, they could just make that thing invisible.
