Why are all the online players just look like black shadows?

RazzPitazz✭✭✭✭This sounds like a placeholder trick devs use on PC. A lot of PC games will sub black shadows for live players to get players into the game world quickly and keep things running smoothly, loading player visual details last. If they implemented this on a console it would be a first as far as I know.PC NA

danovic✭✭✭Are they sneaking? people get a shadow when they are. In towns they go around sneaking and stealing all hidden in shadow.

✭I saw it on an XBox video, just assumed it was for loading purposes as @rajaniemiorama_ESO said. In the video while the player was standing still those black shapes slowly loaded into players as they should look. Maybe easier on the server?If options weren't necessary, and everyone played the same way, no one would use addons. Fix the UI!0 -
NewbieKenobi✭✭It's because the graphics for the players haven't loaded properly. What kind of network connection do you use? Wired or wireless? And what kind of internet provider do you have? Sounds like yor game doesn't get enough bandwidth.

✭✭✭✭✭Because they have no souls... hehe. Naw, they just haven't loaded yet. On PC they are transparent.What ESO really needs is an Auction Horse.
That's right... Horse.

pecheckler✭✭✭✭✭When I first started playing on PS4 I never once saw that black character models. After about 8 hours I started to see it. Now it's constant, well after loading. Could stand next to players after zoning in and it would be a full 30 seconds before their character model loads. Sort of got progressively worse.... Then started to crash with corrupt application data errors. Then that started to occur with cumulatively increasing frequency so I just deleted and am redownloading....
How the hell can the PS4 not have an application repair function? For a 54GB game?!End the tedious inventory management game.0 -
bertenburnyb16_ESO✭✭✭✭✭to put it simple its a basic form while the details of the characters are loaded in, also depends on connection speed
also alot of sneaking players together form a black cloud, if u see an allied group in cyro like this, dont f*ck em by spamming skills on emHaze Ramoran Dunmer Dragonknight Tank/Dps – Smoked-Da-Herb Saxheel Templar Tank/Healer

It's not the same. When graphics are not loaded, the character just is a big black silhouette, I see it from time to time, especially on login. Sneaking players have graphics, they are just in a dark cloud as ou say.
Connection speed issue clearly.

I know that just saying that it isnt always because of loading the model, and to dont screw over organized groups in cyro with healing springs like so many nuubs doHaze Ramoran Dunmer Dragonknight Tank/Dps – Smoked-Da-Herb Saxheel Templar Tank/Healer
