Game messages infront of Boons/Skills in sPvP

#1 - Aug. 1, 2014, 11:04 a.m.

- When someone seize a point, a game message appear, but, infront of the ‘boon/skill line’ of the enemy player, which is the thing I look at 24/7, because I am a PvP’er. (the line where stability, regen, etc. is)

- Is it possible to change the design? Make it smaller/Change the position? Make the player able to change the interface so it’s not infront of the line.

- This is a serious issue, and a bad game design.

- Seeking serious attention.

Last. This might be a problem for people playing with low graphics like me. However, that shouldn’t be a disadvantage.

Thanks

What resolution are you running the game at?

Some of our UI doesn’t gracefully handle the smallest resolution heights. Unfortunately this means the only thing players can do is up their resolution.

The real fix is to move some of those things around.

I’ve adjusted the position at low resolutions to always be below the targeting UI.

Hey Evan, I am sorry, but it is not fixed. This is a clear visualization of how serious this issue is. (this is a hot join game I joined to test,.)

Sorry, I meant I’ve fixed it for a future build. Things like this cannot be fixed without a build, and this isn’t hotfix material. You’ll have to wait a while.

It’s nice to see a response to a player’s concern. Something like this thread is NEVER seen in WvW.

Just the fact that you…
1. Recognized an issue.
2. Inquired about and found root cause
3. Replied that the issue was resolved but that it would be rolled out in a later fix.

WvW forum process is instead.
1. Recognize an issue.
2. Say it will be fixed “soon” or say “we can’t discuss things in development”
3. Silence…….. sometimes for as long as a year
4. When players Necro original thread, post a sticky threatening players about not Necroing threads

Even though I don’t play sPvP, I’ll go out of my way to say thanks for resolving this but more importantly, communicating back to the players about the issue. This is the type of community building that has been lacking in these (GW2) forums.

I consider this a special case because it was a trivial fix. We all work in much the same way.

Perhaps you should come try sPvP…
