Hi all, just got the game a few days ago and I’m blown away, got to level 3 and have spent my few hours in it mostly just running around with my mouth open.

Two things I’d like to toss out there:
If any game ever needed a GUI toggle, this would be it. I’d like a button to toggle the entire UI on/off. I would also like to be able to toggle individual GUI elements, particularly the minimap, on and off. This would make it easier to grasp the magnificent artwork and get more into the surroundings.

I don’t want to look at the map. I want to look at terrain and learn to know it.

Mouselook toggle. Constantly holding down the right mouse button is not good for my dormant RSI, and with the importance of mobility and limited number of buttons in this game, plus F interacts, being able to keytoggle into locked mouselook with buttonstrafing would be really really great.

Though this could give those using it an advantage and affect balance.

Actually there is an Interface Toggle in the controls. I’ve bound it to Ctrl + R, very useful. It also hides your health though, so not great for running around hostile mobs.

Mouselook Toggle is on the top of my list of wanted features. Why isn’t it here!?

Brilliant! Thanks alot!

Hides dialog too so not very good for doing anything but looking around in, but still very useful.

Found a 3rd party application that elegantly does everything I wanted: Immersive combat mode. It has a reddit thread, and a web site.

I tried this too but every time I move my mouse over the skills everything pops back up again. I tried adding _always after the XP and top right parts in the ICM config*. Is there any way to permanently turn off the XP bar and top right sections with this mod?

*Some parts have _always after them and it permanently turns it off but if I add _always after Xp or Personal Story I get an error and GW2 won’t start.
