Guild Wars 2

Since this game doesn’t allow addons that alter the UI, we rely on the devs to put the options in-game that we need. So, this is a request to improve the UI for various situations.

Healing:
In the options I can turn off ‘show player names’ for Raids, and I get some HP bars, but they disappear and are replaced by names if my mouse goes near that person. This is bad.

Also, in Fractals, when you’re not in a Squad, but in a party, you cannot disable name plates!! You can see people getting low on HP by looking at the party frames on the left (and taking your eyes away from where you should be looking, the middle, to avoid various attacks!!) but you cannot quickly find that person unless you take the time to select them via the party frames!

If we had an option to have permanent HP bars and/or names option, we could look where we’re supposed to be looking AND see the HP of our allies at a glance!

Camera Zoom
This is something that has bothered me since the release of the game, and has NEVER been fixed! Yes we can easily scroll in/out to zoom the camera, but that doesn’t make this any less annoying!

I’m referring to the auto-zoom that the game FORCES on us everytime we enter a certain area or specific event. For example, Vale Guardian Raid Boss, I like to have my camera zoomed right out, but a few seconds after the fight begins, the game zooms the camera in again, and I have to zoom out again!

This might seem like a trivial thing to many people, but it is enfuriating to me! Just leave my camera where I put it! Stop making me re-adjust it every darn time I do something in the game!

Conditions:
Condi’s are not shown on player HP bars either, making hard to see when a clense is needed.

Reward Chests:
Why do we have to have silly ‘bobbling’ chests down by the minimap that all have to be individually clicked with super-slow opening animations? When you’re in an event zone or WvW and you move your mouse just that 1 pixel too far, it hovers over the map rewards contribution instead of the chest, then you have to move it away, and then go back and carefully click the stupid slow opening chest! -.- Could you have made this any more tedious?

The opening of these chests, should have an option and be included in the ‘auto loot’ mastery!
