Party window getting enormously large while in town - Guild Wars Forums

milias · Aug 20, 2006, 03:16 PM // 15:16

Hi guys, I've been running into this problem lately. While I'm in the elite missions, where are 12 people in a group, my party window gets ridiculously large, blocks pretty much everything on the right side of the screen, including the minimap and weapon switch slots. I couldn't find a way to resize it, either. It does get better, i.e. resizes itself, when the mission starts. Even so, it gets a little annoying having a huge party window on your screen whenever you're in town.

Has anyone else run into this issue? Any suggestions on how to fix it? Thanks in advance!

I have the opposite, my party formation window in town defaults itself too small to fit more than 2 people in

I always just resize the window manually (drag the corner) and I moved my weapon slots to the left side of the skill bar

Me too. There's that whole useless area under chat and to left of skills and the weapon slots fit there perfectly.

you could also work with the hud size stuff in the options menu

Treat your party window like a window. Go to the edge of the window and resize it. You can drag it and make it longer, wider, shorter etc.

I dont like how even in non-elite missions, when people are being invited and requesting to join, how the party window jumps all over the place. But yeah I have to use Timmy's suggestion about 3 times per mission.

I thought the party window was bugged from day one. If you managed to leave it alone, it would resize itself properly. If you changed the size ever by dragging the corner, then it usually doesn't resize itself properly and you always need to resize it manually (it will resize automatically, just not to the correct size).
