Anet we can see the events on the map. Fugue out how to put the extra information on the map itself.
For instance we know circles mean fighting. So the symbol in the middle could be something that has more relevant information.
Escort quest don’t need circles. Just Change the icon when it’s under attack.
Well, I can see plenty of issues with that screenshot.
The resolution is 1280×1024, which is not widescreen. That makes the placement of the event descriptions, map and your chat window take up some much needed screen space.
Your chat window is in a weird location. Even if it’s because it makes it easier to read, you really cannot argue that there’s nothing for you to see in that lower left corner.
Whether the resolution is widescreen or not is irrelevant. I play on the same resolution and the screen can get cluttered pretty quickly. Switching to the small UI scale causes text corruption and unless you have a couple of hundred quid to throw my way, I’m not going to throw out a perfectly good, working monitor just to be able to play a game I’ve already paid good money for.

I agree, this games “minimal ui” has become a huge joke
I`m like you, have a CRT (bloody good one I use for some jobs/gfx etc), but even at 1600*1200 that kittene takes up far too much unnecessary space.
Spooky, thought I was only one had text top left
Had it lower in past, tried to place aoe marker, ended up whispering someone lol.
Same goes for top right kitten, try to click AC, aoe etc, it pops the stupid crayola ui up most of the time.
Check the sig below, join in with the rest of us haters & one day, this crap may get fixed.
Yeah, I agree with the OP, UI should definitely be adjusted for different monitors. Yesterday I was playing on my brother PC, and I was stunned that the UI took so much place, even if it was 1920×1200 screen.
Imo it should look close to the attached one on most of the displays, not much ppl have large res screens anyway, and it rly affects gameplay.
I’d suggest sth like UI scale option like in LoL

Your map size seems pretty big.
You have 8 mails.
my resolution isnt a problem, the problem is anet failed to build around varying monitor resolutions (last i was aware 1280*1024 is what most web designers try to cater to… well… make sure their site works well with)
chat window is there so i see it better when people talk (i have a habit of not checking chat if its at the bottom), but i normally use # to turn the background invisible so its not as obtrusive as in that screenshot (i was reading guild chat and forgot to press # again)
well observed…
your point?
- to clarify, i dont care about the map taking up my screen (its useful) i dont care about chat taking up my screen (its useful) i care about the horrible atrocity shown on the right side of the screen (and the way it keeps hiding stuff i actually want to see to show other stuff i dont care about thats progressing, cant hide the living story pop up and dailies/monthlies track automatically)

if the display showed as small as that (in proportion to the rest) on my screen the text would probably be unreadable (kind of like the TP…)… but a UI scaler would be nice… being able to customise your UI to extensive degrees would be even better

The problem with TP text on the small UI setting is that the internal browser does not employ any antialiasing so the text appears corrupted. If ANet could find some way to force the TP browser to use font aliasing, it would be readable at almost any scale.

Do like me, buy yourself a nice 28 or 30 inch monitor and you wont even notice them. Well you will because they are still annoying but you know the saying.
