Guild Wars 2

It would be really nice if we could drag the Minimap closer to the center of the screen when we are farming. Please, this is a minor change to the game that would mean a lot to us!
(Looking to any of the corners of the screen too often is not healty to the eyes at all. Sitting to face the Minimap in GW2 is a must at long time farming, so please let us move the Minimap.)

Thank you in advance.

I feel like you’re doing it wrong. Why do you need to spend more than a glance at the minimap every so often to get all the information you need? Nodes pop up pretty far out.

They specifically mentioned farming. If you’re farming gathering nodes for example then you need to look at the mini map a lot to see where they are.

Having said that if the OPs diagram is accurate I recommend a smaller screen, one of those curved screens or sitting slightly at an angle (swivel chairs are good for this), it’d be a lot more practical.

But I also agree that it would be nice if we could customise the UI more. Ideally I’d like to be able to move everything around freely (but also lock it in place so I don’t accidentally drag stuff out of position).

i actually want the radar (as it is called) on the top right just like GW1 has it, the lack of UI customization really gave me some frustration fits.

Luckily that is the one option you do have. Click and hold on the right side of the map, on the black bar but in between the + – icons and the waypoint icon, and you can drag it up to the top of the screen.

For me it’s fine where it is, even if farming it’s always in my peripheral vision, and just the occasional quite glance is enough for me to know the route I’m going to do.

But I love the effort that’s gone into those diagrams XD So just for that I hope Anet give you the option of dragging the minimap to where you want lol.

Support any and all customization of UI. Going from GW1 to GW2, the hardest change was that I couldn’t move the entire UI around as I wanted.

LOL at your diagram I don’t do that, but I know how you feel and we should have this option.

Odd most MMO I’ve played tend to have the maps in the top right of the screen. I’ve never see any that has it in bottom middle.

Some games give you the option to customise the UI – moving each item wherever you want it. I assume the OP normally moves their map into the middle when farming.

I play both Guild wars 2 and Rift, in Rift there is a option to customize your UI to how you see fit might be a long stretch but worth a thought.

Its been 5 years and they won’t even let us disable tooltips that cover 90% of the screen and you think they’ll let u move the minimap?
