Samug.6512 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Usually it's not a big deal, but when an enemy used Heroes Banner (6 icons), Metabilic and Utility boosters (8 icons), Birthday booster (9) and uses Candy Corn Gobbler (9+5 = 14), their effect icons can make a loooooooooooooooooooong line stretching through our screens, especially when we count conditions, boons and special effect (like Spotter) icons. Those I mentioned at the beginning have no effect on gameplay, so would it be possible to hide them to reduce the UI clutter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spurnshadow.3678 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 UI customization? Pishah. It took 5 years to get health bars over allies. I've been asking for this after the first year as it is usually one of the last things done, but it doesn't even seem to be on the radar. I'd love to have the option to hide those things. I'd also like to be able to move my buff / debuff bar to someplace more in my line of vision and make them bigger, prioritize certain buffs / debuff that are really important to see. Kinda hard to see them when playing at high resolution. Also, having the enemy buff/debuff over their head. These options have been the norm on every PvP oriented game for at least a decade.

Yea, it's a shame we don't have GW1-style of UI system, but it was already said in a few AMAs GW2 UI is a much different thing than GW1's. **Topic:** Outnumbered icon is already hidden from enemies, so I assume it is possible to hide icons.

I agree, it is a bit too much: [directupload.net/file/d/5108/e7hroesc_jpg.htm](http://www.directupload.net/file/d/5108/e7hroesc_jpg.htm "directupload.net/file/d/5108/e7hroesc_jpg.htm") Be able to customize the UI would be a nice QOL thing.

Exactly what I mean, and he doesn't even have guild banner bonuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X T D.6458 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Made this same suggestion several times, I really wish they could do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kovu.7560 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 At one point I couldn't tell if I had food up or not because I had a good number of effects going (mostly from a hero's banner) that caused the food icon to be hidden behind the unadjustable part of my minimap. I do agree it could use a bit of a rework. I can see the patch notes now... > @"Game Update Notes: July 17, 2018" > # Necromancer > > * Corrupt Boon: In addition to boons, this skill now converts up to 3 additional effects into conditions.

Justine.6351 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Trying to improve my play and yeah the huge list of random buffs flusters a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawdler.8521 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I wish Anet would just change passive buffs such as heroed banner, bloodlust, guild buffs etc down to a single list buff. Like how objective buffs does it (imagine if objectives gave you 10 different buffs on your bar). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skynet.7201 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Chiming in and agreeing with others saying that we need UI that can be customized like GW1. I wish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zushada.6108 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I have posted numerous times since early access asking for a flexible UI like what I had in SWTOR; alas as others have said, not even an acknowledgement from Anet. It sucks too b/c half the time, I can't see the Outnumbered icon because I have so many buff icons on that outnumbered is hidden behind my mini-map!!
