Guild Wars 2

It should be toggle-able. Don’t know why you can’t hide everything if you want to. Monthlies/Dailies too.

Meanwhile we have people screaming that they were never informed of such Living Story moments. This game really does have the spectrum of players it seems.
Though I will say if they added some way to alter the UI and give folks the ability to disable this it might help some.

Should just be a toggle, yes. I like the “current episode” tracker but I can of course see how people would get annoyed by it.

Life is hard for some.

that stupid living story reminder sitting on my screen forever they’ve gone and replaced it with a Southsun one.

You sent me an email informing me of the southsun festivities, I know about it, thanks. You don’t need to plant a constant reminder in front of me every second I’m logged in that somethings going on in southsun.

The only reason I completed character story and living story on my main chars was to get rid of that stupid text.

Didn’t we ask them to do this the last time when this thing started? Make it toggle? Another example of them not reading the forums methinks.

Or an example of them having other priorities. I’m sure they know people want it toggled. I’m sure it’s not on the top of their to do list.

I agree with the toggle option. As far as feeling it isn’t necessary at all because an email was sent there could be problems with that as far as getting all players in the know.

Many people, like me have a separate email adress they use for registrations. These are often rarely viewed with the exception of password retrieval and such. I do this because many sites, even if you select not to receive emails will still mail you. Additionally some sites will sell your email even if they claim they don’t. I’ve have tested this many times with a new clean email address and registering with a few sites and it wasn’t more than 24 hours that I started getting mails from junk I never heard of.

Also some email clients are more sensitive to spam and will dump just about anything in the junk folder that isn’t whitelisted by the user or isn’t in someones contacts. This issue is also common when emails are being sent out in bulk. You have probably noticed when registering for an honest, well known site they often hint to check your spam folder and whitelist their address.

So my guess is this redundancy is to ensure that as many players as possible have received the news.

But yes a toggle feature would be nice. I also wish they would add a way have a toggle option to show frame rate on the mini map by the clock.

I think the mail being referred to is not an email but an in game mail.

Ahhh… My bad. I’ve been using the Internet for so long when he said email automatically triggers real world E-mail in my mind. From my early dial-up days with AOL I can still hear, “You’ve got mail!” in my head. I have not played GW2 long enough to make that connection.

The UI for this game is crap. Sad but true. I love just about every other part of the game, but the actual interface is awful.
