Assuming maps like Silverwastes are the future of GW2. I have a few requests.
1
Redesign the right side of the screen, it’s too poluted with information that most of the times is irrelevant to us at times, if I remember right, this is what we have currently.
- Notification about new Lions Arch even after we already explored. Or the ones presented when a tournament from pvp is going on.
- Map completion
- Dailies
- Events
- Rewards
- Loot
- Bonus chests.
- Map
I enjoy having having my mini map to be as big as it can get, but then when I’m on SW The loot and bonus chests stay on top of the rewards screen.
For me personally, the only thing I consider relevant to have as information all the time is: Map, loot, bonus chests and event info.

Collect all rewards from the bonus chests at once. GW2 already has too many things to click, having to go through those bonus chests in SW one by one just takes away time I could instead spent playing the game.
Maybe I’m just being lazy, but I would love to see something where you collect all those rewards at once. Perhaps a bigger window that lists all the events done, their rewards, and a single button to collect it all? I don’t know.

Allow us to turn off certain elements of the UI. Some people like to roleplay , some people like to explore without a guide, being able to disable the minimap and the event notifications would make for a whole new experience.
Using the same idea from before, where we have a bigger window listing events and their rewards, maybe that same window could be used to display the event in your area. Or that information could be presented on the world map.

Not related to the new maps, but it would be awesome if we could have an ingame tool, perhaps added to the LFG itself, showing what dungeon paths or fractal scale we already done for the day.
Finally…
Look, I’m no designer, but GW2 has been by far the best MMO I’ve played both in terms of UI design and gameplay.
But SW completely takes control of the right side of the screen, and that changes the UI from simple and clean to a mess.
