This. The current ui is a horrible UX. One of the worst aspects is that some of the most important elements (buffs, conditions) are tiny and located in the noisiest area of the UI. The game has way too many particle effects to be relied upon for info so it all comes down to reading tiny icons.

It’s also ridiculous you can’t turn off the quest tracker.

Yes! Most displays come with a 16:9 aspect ratio nowadays, and I’m so tired of having to lower down the camera till the floor to see boss animations (like Dwayna’s particle shower, not even speaking about Holos) – which also means till the moment that the camera zooms into my character again.

I would be so happy to be able to move target’s bar down to the skillbar. It will both help see target’s visual cues and let me control both my skill cooldowns and target’s buffs in events similar to Assault Knights and champs with reataliation/protection/defiance.

I agree with the UI stuff. Also, GW1’s target locking was the best ever. The target locking in this game is horrendous. First person camera should be in the game. I would play against giant bosses with the first person camera. I have to look up at them to see their tells. My character gets in the way. With a first person camera my character wouldn’t be “clutter” in those fights.

Guild Wars 1 got it right; virtually complete control over the scale and position of all UI elements as well as the ability to toggle on or off any element.

Why try to re-invent the wheel with Guild Wars 2? The implementation in GW1 worked and worked well. Just copy what GW1 did with the UI control and we’re good to go.

The point is you can do just about whatever you like with your UI.
Have it as empty or as full as you wish.
Comparing that with a UI that has only a few movable and resizable windows….

I don’t see the problem with the UI,is one of the best UI i saw in a game,it doesn’t take much from your screen,the skill,hp,buffs are well placed.
I think you are too used with the other games where you can move everything.
And i don’t think they will ever allow the players to move things around.The UI is like a trademark ,when you watch a pic or a video if you saw the UI you just know is GW2 without any aditional infos etc.
Anyway,i can understand why would you guys want to move things around…resize,played many mmos in the past, but imo the only thing that should be added would be a resize only,not sidebars etc. To be able to hotkey food etc. would be the only thing i wouldn’t mind having in the game.
But this is just my opinion…

Keep in mind not everyone plays on giant screens. So maybe the UI is fine for you, but for some of us, it’s claustrophobic. Screens also come in different aspect ratios, which can make it worse or better depending on what you have.
Even if we have same screen sizes, if you have a higher resolution and/or higher aspect ratio, your UI will look smaller than mine.

This is because of FOV (on certain screens). Try shrinking your game window, and you’ll see the UI get smaller and roomier. See my signature link/attachments for examples.

Combined with a low FOV, the top WvW bar + enemy bar can take up too much screen at the top middle of the screen. Unfortunately this led to me making my character walk sideways like a crab, so I can see the enemies I’m fighting. And I turn the camera to the side so I’m looking at the enemy on the leftmost part of the screen, instead of ahead of me where I should be looking. This would make me a really predictable enemy in PvP.

My “solution” was to shrink the window to half it’s vertical size. In other words, I made my GW2 window skinny. This makes the UI shrink and I can see more, even though the window is much smaller!
Letting me make the FOV higher (to my particular needs) without having to shrink the window would pretty much improve things for me.

The enemy bar at the top screen makes it so I have to aim the camera up when fighting tall enemies, so I can see their tells. Otherwise all I can see are their feet. When I look up my character’s butt gets in the way, though!


I need to zoom in when playing melee so I can see the enemy tells amid all the skill effect fireworks. But when I do this, I can’t see the battlefield at the top middle of the screen because of enemy bar, or WvW bar. Again, I need to walk/look sideways when fighting, so I can actually see the enemy.

The buttons at the top left of the screen shouldn’t be there all the time. You either use the keybinds, or you click the icons. The icons needn’t be visible all the time. They should only appear if you put your mouse there.

The grungy black window border hides too much of the battlefield. Don’t believe me? Hit Ctrl Shift H. Again, this depends on your FOV. Shrink your window to see. The border looks thinner or fatter depending on your FOV / aspect ratio.

The experience bar doesn’t need to be visible at all times, only when you get lots of experience at once like when finishing a personal story or dungeon, or when leveling up.

I could go on but atleast those would be common sense.
