Region (NA/EU):   EU

Suggestion(s)/Comment(s):  Immersion Improvement
Details:
Option to Hide Players + Disable Parking Sign

So with the introduction of outfits straight from Zara

instead of taking away the option from players who love such type of outfits,

add an option to hide other players completely, for the players who hate seeing these in-game.

Both sides are happy. And I know the ability to hide other players is possible because it happens in crowded World Boss spots.

Also, the removal of the obnoxious PARKING have been asked many times over the years. Please let it be the year you finally do it.

Thank you!

Removing other players may be a problem because of the concept of the game : MMO. However, I really understand how contemporary clothes reduces immersion. I decided to hide other player's names and titles and it really helps to make them look more lore-friendly. It's sometimes even funny to understand very lately that the caracter near you isn't a NPC.

And for the "parking" sign : you are SO RIGHT ! It's so weird to see that kind of sign in game. It could be something else, like magic twinkles.

Having a "hide other players" option would be great for reducing lag and avoiding bothersome colisions. If the other player isn't flagged up, they should not prevent you from moving around.

Problem wth making more than one request per forum entry, is that it can easily become lost, when only one of the two suggestions is being backed. So why not make them into two different posts?

I hate when 2 suggestions are slapped into 1 post. It makes the idea crafting messy and the original idea which you wanted more can be lose to the other thing.

Hiding all other players would be a very wild setting for a MMO game and I do not see that as "immersion".
This could also be very bad overall. Since if players uses this and tries to grind mobs they will get confused for getting killed or see how monsters dies without touching. (I guess your idea was for in cities, but details should be explained in OP). And if cities are emptied by players would that really make it look better than with players?
There are other tricks to get rid of most of random players in background for pictures, going into Elvia Realm (well this removes npcs too) or Arsha Server.

Technically game has already "Hide other players" from settings or hotkey Shift+F5
But this function is for World bosses, and will not help in Fishing areas or cities.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Parking sign on Horse is very old function and it should have option to toggle away.
That would be better fixing idea than hiding players

Hiding other players would not really work but I like the way of argumantation! Only maybe you could toggle to hide players in town, but you will be pretty alone then. I gess, those, who have a problem with these outfits, just have to get gud.

Parking sign is disturbing and forces to get the horse out of visible range sometimes. It would be VERY appreciated if it would get a NOT BLINKING and less aggresive design.

Crimson Desert is soon coming, so you can play alone without other players photobombing you xD

You can also hop on the the elvia realm in order to avoid players and mounts photobombing :) Just change the looks of the weather through the CTRL+U menu to get rid of the hue where applicable.
