Guild Wars 2

After my 4,000th visit to Lion’s Arch, I do not need to see the “You’ are in the Overflow” prompt everytime I join. Instead, just make the word “Overflow” on the minimap bold and yellow or something — the modal popup window is a nuisance.

I’d rather there be a “Do not display this message again” check box.

I wouldn’t have nearly as much of a problem with the dialog box if it weren’t for the fact that it prevents you from doing anything until you acknowledge it.

+1. I’d rather just have an icon near mini map that enters you into the queue to leave overflow, and not be bothered by it anymore.

Lane’s idea is good. I already assume I’m entering an overflow, but for new players it might be useful, so an option is good

Completely agree that we need a “Do not display this message again” option.

With the introduction of Fractals, though, I think a broader rework of the overflow system might be in order. Players now have a need to get from non-overflow maps to overflow ones, and to move through different overflows. A user-friendly instancing system, such as numbering all overflow LAs and allowing players to manually move through them, would be fantastic.

Or just make the fractals dock into a ‘town’, so that overflows go back to normal, fractals people are with their kin, and you can get back into your instance if you dc

Either with a check option to ‘do not display again’ or remove the box altogether and instead flash a yellow star icon in the minimap once you zone to the overflow.

You know how you get the circling highlight if you mouse-over on your personal story… make that kind of brief highlight in the minimap to indicate you’re in the overflow.

I would REALLY like something like this. I always wondered why this wasn’t done from day one.

Just any option to make the “You are in overflow” and queue pop up dialogues less intrusive. Somewhere smaller and off to the side. Or just an option to get rid of them with the ability to control whether you want to enter the queue by right clicking where it says “Overflow” on the minimap or something.

This is such a small change that would make life so much less annoying at times.

+1. dat pop up needs an addblocker asap

My favorite part is when you go to reply to someone as soon as you load into LA, and only about 10 characters come up randomly before you start jumping and opening all your ui options ect…

Totally agree, actually posted about it a couple days ago. The pop up is driving me nuts.

It’s getting to the point where it actually feels insulting, insinuating every time it comes up I’m incapable of seeing the word “Overflow” on the minimap -.-

I’ll admit it’s something new players might miss, but I would only support it being an annoying color if they removed the pop-up entirely. If they just add a “Do not display” option (my preference) I don’t see any reason to change it. It doesn’t fade like the area name does when not in overflow, so it’s always there while you’re in overflow. I’d much rather have a few people who’ve turned off the notification without noticing the minimap indicator asking how to tell if they’re in overflow (it’s going to happen, accept that now), because I don’t mind taking a couple seconds to point them to the minimap.

Oh god yes. This pop-up <.<

THAT! I hate the overflow popup with a passion, exactly because it intrudes on what you’ve started doing after logging on. If you HAVE to have an overflow pop-up, at least make it disappear after 2 seconds, non-intrusive (e.a. don’t focus on it or take the focus away from any other interface element you’re using) and generally less annoying. Preferably, don’t do a pop-up at all, instead use the loading screen to announce you’ll be on overflow or something.

please make it so or least allow other city to have fractual and the mystic forge.

Yeah, really don’t see the downside to this. Those popups are just annoying when they don’t need to be.

Yes, the pop up is annoying. It also is delayed. i once got all the way to the crafting station and went to craft, not knowing why I couldn’t until I exited out and say the stupid popup. GAH. Small complaint but it is the little things that make you wanna rage ><
