Guild Wars 2

I don’t always want to do my personal story. Sometimes, I want to do events, or a living story thing. So I minimize the personal story quest… and then it expands again after completing an event. This wasn’t a big problem until I decided to do a bunch of Queen’s Jubilee events and ignore the story for a while. If I can’t remove it, at least make it stay minimized. I don’t want to see the daily or monthly hanging around there either. If I want to track something, let me track it, don’t make it a default. The only thing I want to see up on the top right is events, and even then I want to remove them if uninterested. I don’t want to see the persistent Living World stuff there either; I am not interested in most events and I do NOT want to be bothered by that.

Someone else on the first page mentioned they have OCD and this bothers them. Well, I do too, and I am frustrated so much at this point that I may leave GW2 for a couple months again. Every other game I play has a customizable or comfortable UI, and I really want to see that here. It would save me a lot of stress.

While the UI is minimal, indeed, I just want the option to customize it a little bit.

Yeah for some reason I get a hunch that they are worried that customization means watching the UI.

Too bad what we want is a reduction of the crap we’re forced to look at -_-

Really!?
You couldn`t make this kitten any bigger??

Wow they added more to it when I was on hiatus. Awesome. ANet could at least post in this topic saying they are CONSIDERING an option to remove that stuff >.>

Wow, just wow.

I thought it was bad when I got to that wp (to the point i just alt tabbed & eventually just alt f4`d the game, but…..

Check how bad it can get, in this link, OPs image…

EDIT: Just logged on, turns out I`m now stick with the green star yet again, despite having cleared story originally just to get rid of that crap :$

EDIT2: kitten ed, was on alt & story showed. That kitten still needs removing though…

+1 joining with the haters

This is abysmal… it’s so bad with the current events on top of everything.

See attached image. Three events are minimized, along with the daily, personal quest, clockwork chaos, and heart quest, with two events, Scarlet’s Minions, and Kralkatorrik’s Legacy not minimized (because I didn’t really have the time to minimize them all). My minimap wasn’t enlarged at all. I couldn’t see what I was looting most of the time.

What would I actually want to see in that case? Just the stuff in the Scarlet’s Minions Invade! event thing.

Bumpity bumpity bumpbumpbump

Wow, that image (two posts above) just goes to show how abysmal this ui has become.
Here we are, one year after release of a game stated to have minimal ui, & we are plagued with what now feels like one of the worst ui of all mmos I`ve played.
Six months after daily/monthly crap added & not a word/hint or anything of any light at the end of the tunnel.

I found a slight fix, if you find some achievement you know you`ll never get, aka one of the insanely lengthy WvWs ones, click track that & it`ll go top right.

Yes, it means we`re stuck with that crap for ever, but it hides the dailies/monthlies that we`ll see in seven days in September.

Alas, it doesn`t hide all the erst of the crap :$

Wow, just wow.
UI has definitely turned to kitten…

what about adding a down arrow at the top right that works as a drop down button allowing you to hide what is there but its still one click away. similar to the way the chat window works

An arrow would be handy for those that want it on the screen, assuming it would remember the state you wanted it in.
As for me, I want rid of that crap permanently.
I know they want to make/keep this game idiot proof, but doing this just because a few folk may forget how to click options & search for the setting or from asking guildies, in /t or /m or /s or someone on friends list, is just bloody awful.

As it is now, I`m stuck with a months worth of chores to grind just to get screen space back.

It`s not like the monthly/daily rewards are even worth the time you need to do these either.

Well, judging by the Tequatl stuck permanently on the screen now, looks like anets incompetence is going full time.

Ye gads, it just gets worse & worse…..

We can check the map for this, we don`t need the kitten permanently on the screen.

Those screenshots should be emailed to every Anet employee. It’s a bloody shambolic mess. The whole thing is like some obtrusive consolised thing.

Any chance of having our screens filled with Guild Wars 2 ANet and not some screen obscuring garbage? Let us turn of all the unwanted crap (and that is exactly what it is, just unnecessary crap).

All I want is my skillbar, cursor and chat box. That’s it. Please allow us to get rid of the unhelpful UI elements that we don’t want!

Well, it looks like you`ll all be stuck with a forced ui reminder tomorrow of dailies followed by monthlies yet again.
Seems like they`re just going to ignore this forever.
Good news, I`ve given up, the game, along with the ui is just far too much of a mess of late, but they`ll have to buck their ideas up before it is too late.

Newer games are en route with readily customisable UIs from the outset.

Hope they finally get around to fixing this ui joke for those of you that are sticking with it, good luck…
