Guild Wars 2

If you’re going to insist on shoving this kind of stuff in our face, at least permit us to dismiss it somehow. This type of advertising usually causes more resentment rather than the desired effect.

q.q

No matter how much Anet hopes that the players will play the entire game, they seem to push quite a bit towards the spvp end and it seems, at least to me, that players are generally not so well disposed to all modes of play (see season 1 living story and the WvWer’s or Kites hunting in the Sanctum) so no matter how much they push there will be players who want nothiing to do with anything outside of their mode of choice.

I’ve been in-game for about half an hour now and didn’t even notice the thing until I saw this thread. It’s automatically collapsed, and so it’s not really in the way.

Arenanet sure likes to clutter up the hud, you still cant disable the personal story either.

As long as its auto collapsed it should be ok, dont expect anet to remove this.

The same thing was shoved in pvp-ers faces when living story season 1 was being released. If they could endure, so can you.

It’s just a small icon on your hud, nothing is being shoved in your face. Is it really such a big deal? I didn’t even notice it until a few minutes ago.

To be fair GW1 had a much more customizable UI. I’m not sure why they took a step back for this game. I wonder now that the old UI person is no longer with Anet, if the new one (if there is one) would be open to improving it to at least it’s predecessor’s level.

I agree, ALL the HUD messages are annoying and should be able to be dismissed.

I’d love an option to hide all that stuff, I know what I’m doing and know what to play and when I want to play it. All of it simply clutters my screen (story, daily, event, etc).

I like that the daily pops up there, and that it disappears when I’m done. I’d be happy to be able to disappear all the things, and recall them if I’d like to. The most annoying part, though, is when one of the notifications (usually the daily) gets compressed and the bottom line is under whatever is below it on the UI. If it happens again I’ll try to remember to take and post a screenshot.

Something about unfair advantage here… Honestly Ive been saying that they went backwards with the HUD since day 1 it not being as customizable, npc menus having you only be able to buy 1 item at a time instead of a stack.
