Made a thread in here about 3-4 days ago, asking if it’s possible to just get to 80 without doing the Personal Story questlines. Well, I’m currently 77 with my Necro Charr, and I had the ‘Hide Personal Story’ option active. Yet I was still seeing the thing about it in the upper right hand corner. All it did was allow the “Go here to explore this Vista/POI/etc…” thing to come back.

Was hoping it would not show the Personal Story window with the option. Is there no way to? The reason is I’m nearly Level 80, and I don’t wish to do the ‘endgame’ dungeon as I’ve already done it on another char. And I want to hide the window, so it won’t harass me.

There’s certainly no requirement to do the Arah Story again if you don’t want to, but keep in mind that it just changed a week ago to become a solo instance. So there will be some fresh things to see. Also you get rewards for completing the PS (I’m not sure what they are, I haven’t worked on PS on my alts since the PS Restoration was announced — used to be you got another Pact token for a Pact weapon).

I don’t think there is any way to erase the green star from your upper right, however. People have been asking for that option for a long time. Having it there’s never bothered me, but I have a reasonable size higher rez monitor that isn’t square, and I came from WoW with a nightmare amount of UI. I suppose people wanting something as clean as ESO’s UI, or dealing with laptop monitors, might find the PS tracker more intrusive.

Wait, WHAT?! :o Zhaitan is soloable now? Awesome! This changes everything. Thanks for this news, I had no idea.
Also, thanks for the response. It seems the Content Guide seems like a “bugged” feature (except for showing where things are for map completing). Because it even says on the wiki: “Select which content is tracked in the upper right corner of GUI”. So…

Yep! Check the Patch Notes for how the PS got changed. Also look at the Personal Story Restoration sticky at the top of the General forum for details. (You can still bring friends along just like any other PS step, btw, but it’s no longer required).
