Guild Wars 2

Hello,

I don’t know if this is the right section to post this, but I’ll fire it up anyway.

Does anyone else use Small scale UI text? I feel that the Normal scale is too big, especially at higher resolutions. However, if I select the Small scale for text, instead of becoming smaller, it is just as chunky, but also unreadable in some areas (TP, tooltips, and some more).

Here’s what I mean: http://i.imgur.com/Xs6nY.jpg

Then again, I’m asking, is this the same for everyone or is there something broken on my computers? (both laptop and desktop behave the same)

Mod edit: removed infraction

It’s not just you, don’t worry. It happens to everyone that uses small scale text.

It’s like they just resized the large text, instead of adding a whole new text size. You know when you shrink a picture down, it becomes distorted from the original? It’s like that. Instead of making a small size text, they just shrunk the large one down and now it’s all distorted.

It’s been this way since beta, and they’ve known about since then as well. Guess it’s just not on their priority list to fix.

What SpyderArachnid said. I /bug reported this back in beta, as I’m sure thousands of others did, but nada.
Mind you, the UI as a whole needs more customisation options, as it’s a lot larger than necessary with silly amounts of superfluous artistic details that simply get in the way.
I’ve gotten used to the UI now, but that doesn’t mean it’s good. If GW2 supported UI mods like other MMOs, I’d download an alternative in a heartbeat.
Heck, I’d even try programming one myself.
I’s weird, as the GW1 UI was elegant and sublime, with most of the customisation options you needed built in.

Ok, at least it’s good that it’s a well-known issue. Hopefully it will be addressed in the future, since it would really help people with large displays/resolutions.

And yay for my first infraction… Note to self: read the rules during lunch break.
