Good Day..

I hope you can help me! I went to:
http://www.guildwars.com/support/, clicked on the
'English, US' link but NOTHING happened.. Could not get to the list
of questions, to see if my problem has been resolved. I did turn
off my web page cleaner! IEv6 is set to ALLOW stuff 'Marked as
Safe'. So I don't know what the problem was.. I tried for several
days. Anyway to my in- game problem.

I have impaired vision, so the Font size is set to the largest
manageable. This is necessary for reading the chat window. I run
the game in 1024x768 on a 21 inch monitor. When text boxes pop-
up (of what the characters say or Goals etc) it covers a good part
of the screen. When I hover the Mouse pointer over a skill
button, its description pops up covering other info I must see, like
conditions/hexes on me. No, I do not have the default screen
arrangement. Since I am only able to see a small part of the
screen clearly at once, I must put the vital info down by the
button bar, centralizing it.

These pop ups are pretty much Unnecessary! I have been playing
the game for over a year and have 3 accounts all upgraded to
Factions.. (Yes, I love the game!) Since I've been playing
awhile, I no longer need the Skill description pop ups. I
certainly don't want the window pop-ups during Missions that
cover my screen (due to very large font selection) causing more
of a problem than help. In some cases so many windows pop up
so rapidly it is impossible to see what I'm doing during critical
moments, not to mention they are just plain annoying! The info is
replicated in the Chat window in most instances making them
redundant. Can you PLEASE tell me how to get rid of the pop up
windows? They are really causing serious problems with gaming
pleasure.

I have Tried to remove them by using the 'Interface' dialog box,
and UNchecking:
Mission Progress
Dialog 1
Dialog 2
Mission Goals
Hints
I have also tried just moving them out of the way, by placing them
in the upper left cornor.. They didnt move! They were back in the
Center of the screen.

Please help.. The problem became MUCH worse with the release of
Factions. There are many more pop-ups in Factions as there are
in Prophesies. Right down to the charcters making silly, useless
comments during a time I need to see the screen, usually when my
charcters are moving around in the environment.

Thank you for Any suggestions to remedy this situation!

Peace... -<-* Lynlee 07/30/2006

the skillbar descriptions seem to be with us forever.

this may be a stupid suggestion but possibly workable.

can you stand an inverted setup?

skillbar at very top with their descriptions going up and off the screen out of sight?

other info clustered at top instead of bottom?

i dont know if that would help but at least those would be removed from the picture.

when adjusting the checkboxes for mission progress, do so while IN a mission that uses them. i have had problems with them coming back, untill i adjusted during mission once

the skillbar ones......
ya. that one seems to be there to stay

Thank you very much for your feedback! I wish it had worked.. Would have
taken some getting used to, but would have been worth it!

The pop-ups pop below the skillbar, once again covering the info.

Greetings Wrath and Thank you for your suggestion.

Do you mean put the checks back, IE make active, go into a mission and UNcheck the options?

I went into a mission, moved the boxes in the screen layout section all to upper right. There is no longer a 'Save' button. I suspect just closing the window saves now. Anyway Togo (or was it Mhenlo) talked and it poped right in the middle of the screen.. So, will make another run at putting the checks back in, then going back into the mission and take the checkmarks off for the dialogs, Mission progress and Mission Goals.. EWwwww.. this is really an issue for me.. ::sigh::

Again appreciate you taking the time to give me your Ideas..

Peace... -<-* Lynlee
