Uh, solo dungeons are not solo? I'm pretty sure ZoS wouldn't have much trouble making a switch usable by people who want or need to use it.

Obviously, such a switch wouldn't be usable in pvp areas and group dungeons.

These are called an "instance" whereby there's an instance for you (for the main story and for dungeons) and are pockets if you will, in the much larger world.

Having a solo instance of all the world just for one player is not feasible. That would require different shards or instances for each player who wanted it. When the main map is set up to support all other players, with variables (vet zones etc)

Asking for a solo map of the main world that is not instanced in an MMO is a ridiculous notion.

Some people are so slow, but then a great intellectual once said stupid people do not realize they are stupid.

1) Yes, I play an MMO. As you do as well, I am 100% positive that every single time you log on to play you ALWAY play with others right? You just stand there and do nothing until you can group up. Give me a break!

2) the ole "upgrade your rig" comment, my personal favorite. My rig is pretty damn buff, built it myself with only the best. So it can handle this game 10 times over. Believe me there is no way in hell its my rig!! or my internet connection, I pay extra for some damn fast up/down

3) Plenty of MMOs have included an option to turn off rendering other players. When I have to stand in the bank for x amount of time or constantly get loading screens because there are 100 people all with pets, bored with nothing else to do but fire off grand spell effect, I dont want to waste my valuable time waiting for that crap to load!!! If I am grouping, or at an event, fine, turn it on. But if I am running around crafting, gathering or just soloing, give me the option.

The option to turn off rendering other players is a no-brainer and yet ONE more thing BS (no pun) forgot to add to improve their game overall. Lets make this happen DEV, get to work!

How about using the bank in another town? Instead of the ones which are crowded most of time? There is enough of them.
Easier solution than waste resources on such a stupid problem, while there are broken things that are way more important.

Try skyrim, it's probably on sale.

Name them. I've never known an MMO that allows you to turn off being able to see other players, can't even understand what the point of that would be in an MMO.

Elite Dangeous? Although that's a unique example of a game that is very easily not an MMO at all, in any way.

In the bank I've asked: could you please despawn your summons in the bank? It's very distracting with a and they always do it and often even say sorry they forgot they were on or similar. Being not a richard goes a long way.

Actually turning off players might be a very useful feature for pve areas. Especially crowded ones. Maybe that way each player can have their own instance to play solo as long as they want. Or... in a group.

Maybe the thing with the bank is to make it a solo instance or to reduce the number of players at a time in that instance. Should go the same with other areas that are too crowded.

Would be a lot easier if a certain radius around the vendor/kiosk/inside the bank itself was a "no cast zone" so that all summoned pets get unsummoned and no spell effects/spells will cast/work.

For those few who constantly mention rig. Yes, my drivers are up to date. Yes, I've opened ports, I've trouble-shot that issue to death, search, I am far from the only one with this problem. Should I have load/lag issues given my system, absolutely not. But I do, not sure why, tried just about everything. But as I've said, if it was something like me being the rare exception that's one thing, but plenty of people experience the same issue. Either way it's a simple fix on deb side for the many who experience this, turn off! (To they guy that said name one, AO and EQ, there's two). Yes, I know it's an MMO, moot point, no one, and I mean no one plays group 100%, give it a rest! I don't care which issue they fix, turning off players or the annoying load screen delay, fix one of them, it's been around since launch for cryin out loud! P.S. I do bank/craft at lower volume locations, but that's not always convienient.

For those who write "I'm fine, I don't have any issues" good for you, many do, why would you write against fixing issues for those of us that do, the many of us btw. I'll be sure to troll your issues post saying don't fix, "I'm fine, stop complaining". Jesh!

For a lot of the same reasons that many of the people who don't use add-ons always respond to every question they possibly can with an 'I don't need add-ons and I think you don't either' attitude.

While I personally don't think that turning everyone else off 'needs' to be the default answer to a non-combat area (specifically like the bank, or crafting tables) that are seriously overcrowded with all of the graphics and effects and pets that people insist on spamming the area with....., --I do think that turning off all the visual special effects and pets inside crowded non-combat areas like banks and crafters areas can default to being visible only to the one who casts that effect and only generated on their own personal client.
Things like the in-game weather are generated on the player's client right now, so it's not out of the question for combat-specific visuals and pets to be as well.

ETA: It's got less to do with playing solo in an MMO, and more to do with some players specifically spamming effects and pets in densely crowded areas where those effects are cast mostly to grief everyone around them.

- Great - you can cast special effects. And you can crowd a confined area with pets.
All of us can.
We're not impressed, but we are all slowed down and the game play degrades in those areas where you insist on casting effects that have zero applicable place in those areas but to grief those around you.

PLEASE add a feature that allows you to turn off the drawing/rendering of other people. The system is slow enough to load the environment, having to draw all those players, ESPECIALLY all those players in the bank that feel compelled to have all 60 pets, cast spells, bla, bla, it takes FOREVER for the banker to load!!

There are many banks that have very few people in them. Look around. Stater zones are always overcrowded. If you're on a new character use a friend or guildie to port somewhere else.

That said, it would indeed be a boon if ZOS would simply disable Pets and spell effects inside banks.

This thread is still a thing? No one is taking this request seriously surely? May as well just do away with mobs too...

There are already features in the game to reduce the render on players and even not load detail on many of them using the shadow images instead.

If you are having issues with the game loading maybe look to your rig or network because ZOS has tools in place to reduce the load stress already.
