You mean when NPC's go crazy and start chatting? Annoying isn't it...I don't know a way to turn'm off :/

markoooooooo · Jul 05, 2006, 01:04 PM // 13:04

I mean the speech bubbles that come up above people heads when they speak, makes the game look more like a comic book.
They have them in WoW too but there was option to turn them off, I cant find option to turn them off anywhere in Guild Wars

try this:
options (f11)> customize layout> and uncheck dialougue 1 and dialogue 2...

if that doesnt work then .... idk

markoooooooo · Jul 05, 2006, 01:44 PM // 13:44

Tried that, doesnt work

Thanks for suggestion though

Yeah I hate those chat boxes. I'd much rather have the text show up in the chat box then have those annoying chat popups come up. I should make a Guild Wars pop up blocker.

But you can move them out of the middle of the screen

Try doing this right as they appear. That was the only way I could get them off. I waited until they popped up and then did the above. Hope this helps.

Doesnt work

SaucE · Jul 05, 2006, 06:17 PM // 18:17

There is no option to turn it off. And I dont think there ever will be.

Azmodan · Jul 05, 2006, 06:22 PM // 18:22

The OP is talking about the human player chat bubbles, not NPC chat. I don't think there is a way to turn those off. It would atleast be nice if the team chat didn't popup like that though.

I would really really like it if Anet could add the ability to remove Human chat bubbles.

Press Ctrl+Shift+H......

That's what I did and I haven't had chat bubbles since the day of release. Maybe disabling them is bugged now because I never saw them again after that?

I really want to add Mhenlo to my ignore list. Start the petition for removing those stupid dialogue pop-ups. I cannot imagine anyone liking them.

keep spammers in the chat box, whether they are NPC or other gamers.

And I tried changing the layout as suggested and was very disappointed when it did not work.

Alt-F4... Works EVERY time. Never fails.

Gorebrex · Jul 06, 2006, 04:02 AM // 04:02
