Guild Wars 2

I’ve got the ui on the smallest setting but still on my monitor (1280×1024 resolution) the chat doesn’t fit down the side of the skill bar. If i set the game to windowed and reduce the vertical height eventually the UI scales down and everything fits along the bottom of the window but thats not a great solution because i lose even more screen space but if a slider to scale the UI was added that would fix the issue.

I also find when I make the UI scale the smallest, The Lion Arch Trading Post text doesn’t scale down with it.

i think setting it to small causing mangled fonts sometimes is still an issue too.

I want a cleaner more clutter free UI.

^— lol, GW2’s UI is far less cluttered than almost every single MMO out there.

I kind of agree with the idea of being able to make the UI smaller. I have a 1680×1050 screen and the UI still feels just a little too big on it’s smallest setting.
But considering how mangled the Trading Post text is on the smallest UI setting….

To OP, your screen is quite small which is why the Chat Box won’t go all the way down. You might find this more annoying, or it might work better for you, but you can actually drag it and swap it’s position with the Party UI.

The problem there is that the trading post is basically a embedded web site. Meaning that the game engine treats it as single large image/texture that is zoomed in or out with interface scale.

allowing individual scaling for each UI element or even just the skill bar would be a (conceptually) easy fix for all these issues.
might not be allowed because it could give people willing to set their skillbar smaller an advantage in the ~esports~ though.

you might want to take a look at the immersive combat mode, it can be used to hide some of the UI elements, not compatible with steam overlay and maybe other things though.

^ probably true unfortunately.
But it definitely needs something doing to it.
I play a full sized Charr & combined with all the ui crap that is on screen these days, there`s little space for anything else.

Sig`…
