Guild Wars 2

I like to take screenshots of the beautiful scenery in the game, and it’s fun to keep a record of your character’s adventures,, but it would be nice if there was a UI toggle option which we could bind to a hotkey. I’ve seen this in other games and it would be a great and hopefully simple feature to add. This way we could quickly remove all the UI elements for a screenshot and then quickly turn them back on to continue playing.

Bonus points for making this also switch on higher resolution screenshot capture. I recall this being an option in beta but seems to have disappeared now.

If you did abit of research you would find that there are already 2 ways of doing this in the game. Firstly, to hide all UI simply press Ctrl Shift and H . I also remember reading somewhere there was a way to take a screenshot which hides your UI on the picture without you having to manually do it, but i’m not sure if this actually works or how to do it

They had some problems with the high res screenshots.
As soon as there was something like sunflare/bloom
water surfaces/reflections they somehow messed up.

The high res screenshot hid the UI automaticly i think.

I think the stereoscopic screenshots still hide the UI…

everything else was allready said by EliteZ

If CTRL SHFT H is too much (as it is for me, I want a faster keypress), you can go into keybind options to set it to something else. I have my UI toggle on F11, nicely near the Print Screen key.

I do miss the high rez option even though I run the game on high settings anyway.

I agree with the CTRL+SHIFT+H combo.
