Phasing Visual Is AWFUL - SOLVED

You could have looked at yt videos before getting at point that you are at.
Also, if visuals and mtx is your biggest problem.. well.

With all due respect, I didn't think a buff would visually delete my entire character permanently. That's, objectively, a hilariously stupid choice that I haven't seen in any other ARPG, and at this point I've exhausted playing them all.

Second point is with how expensive the MTX are, and with how much the standard player does spend if they can afford it, why is this even a feature? Who the ♥♥♥♥ in their right mind wants to hide their $60, $160, $240 outfits?

Look, I get it. If you don't support the game and your armor looks awful, you might want to hide your entire character. That reasoning is really, really stupid.

I've been forum diving for almost two hours going through dozens upon dozens upon dozens of posts that seem to agree with me, too...

Oof, why design a near permanent visual that literally hides your entire costume and any MTX you have on your character?

I SEVERELY wish I had never chosen Raider, regardless of it being viable or not.

Is the following not good enough for you?

Yep, we are disabling the phasing visual effect for the Ascendancy class notables that have this.

Dear god yes. Thank you for the link.

(Save a handful of people) the only folks that seem to love the effect are people without any skins or outfits. If they do a toggle, neat.

Being permanently invisible just looks like the game is failing to render.

Just don't spend money on character MTX at all. Wasted money. Even if it were more visible. Only buy stash stuff.
If it's not helping gameplay, it is a wasted purchase. And if you don't have enough skill effects on the screen to be still able to see your character, you're doing something wrong anyway :)

I humbly agree to disagree, sir. Everything from Diablo 2 to TQ, TL2 to Grim Dawn, etc... I’ve always enjoyed my character looking like he/she fits the part. I don’t like having a character that hits the level cap and is still just wearing a ripped t-shirt and a bucket helmet. I really doubt anyone thinks that looks “cool”.

There's an app a cosmetic for that:

Lol that’s true, but there’s also equally ugly items like the “hand wings”. Can’t say I’ve seen anyone using them or the linked MTX. Just because there’s ugly items in the shop doesn’t mean anyone uses them 🤔.

Good news from GGG on reddit a short while ago:

Permanent Phasing granted by Ascendancies will be disabled in a future patch but we do not yet have a timeline.

Edit: Apologies, this will be included in today's patch.

And this was addressing the visual effect, not the phasing ability itself.

Today's patch, meaning implemented tonight and effective tomorrow? I haven't noticed any difference currently.

The Raider's Quartz Infusion ascendancy passive no longer grants a permanent Phasing visual effect.

Which is live, was live and got rolled back, so whether you should have seen it depends on when you actually played.

It's fixed now. There's no longer an effect on the character, but the phasing still works.
