Guild Wars 2

I do NOT care about the living story. I would appreciate a way of removing the big ugly box titled: "Flame and Frost: The Razing" from my screen. Clicking on the box (open the achievement panel) does NOT show a corresponding achievement to be checked/unchecked. I know I can "minimize" the box but I want it gone from the screen; why isn’t this an option?

Because any UX/UI designer will tell you that this is what makes you either interested in it or talking about it: you are aware of the content, that’s why

Hmmm, not sure how I side on this one. If you really don’t want to do the Living Story stuff, I don’t see why it should be forced onto your UI, indefinitely.

On the other hand, they didn’t put all the work into this new content just so people could click “Ignore.”

I’m really enjoying the living story this time round. But yes, I agree also that one certainly doesn’t need the box there all the time.

I don’t mind it too much. I keep up to date with GW news so personally I don’t need the box there to remind me about it, but I’ve seen enough players wondering what it was all about after they saw it on their screen, so it’s obviously not something superfluous.

Seems it can interfer with ground targeting in a similar way to the target info.

By this i mean that if you have the mouse over it when you initiate a ground targeted skill, the target will be at your character feet rather than where it should be in 3d space.
