I have two monitors and i’d like to use my second effectively. What i’m asking is not anything like triple monitor setups with eyefinity etc. , it’s more like the system in Supreme Commander 2, i’d like to use the main monitor normally but put the map and chat windows (and party info etc. things like that) to the second.

Having the map and chat full screen on the second monitor would really enhance the gameplay. I’d like to know if there is a plan to add such a thing or if it can be considered by the developers.

1. Wrong section
2. Doesn’t server much use as we have mini map/radar for immediate needs and a chat window that can remain permanent or hidden with a simple key stroke.
3. I can understand it being useful for a game such as SC2 because it’s 100% dire to see what’s going on in front of you 24/7 but that’s not the case with GW2.

May be the wrong section but i would love to see this in the game. I would find it useful while exploring etc. I also dont like the chat box placement but i do like to have it visible somewhere, sticking it on my other screen would be fantastic. it would also be useful for PVP and tracking what is going on where.

Just because you wouldnt find it useful it doesnt mean others wont.

About the wrong section thing, i really thought about where to put the topic but it seemed as a technical issue to me since it concerns the development. If i’m wrong it will be moved, not a big issue i suppose

It may be a technical issue, from a certain point of view, but it’s also more of a new feature suggestion.

That said, I think I remember hearing talk of a more customizable UI in the future but I’m not sure where/when I heard it. It might be worth adding a bit of detail (get specific about the “things like that” part) and make this a formal suggestion.
