Idea for Multiple Monitors in ARR

I was thinking about how when you play with multiple Monitors how one Monitor has the game on it and the other one has your computers desktop. I was thinking they could have the second monitor having bags/inventory, chat windows, character screen, map screen, quest Journal, etc.

I made a shitty example from ARR screenshots in Microsoft Paint lol so dont be to harsh.

i would totally use that if i would use a 2nd monitor :P

Maybe a user made UI add on can do this?

Yeah sorry that was also part of my idea, i forgot about it some time during the Microsoft paint fiasco lol, thanks!

I'd rather just have the game span all my monitors allowing me to put the map away when I want to.

Unfortunately, even with the extremely limited amount of information we have on the user Add-ons, I can diffinatively say this is a no. Add-ons will have to work within the window handle provided by directX or windows, which means that if the game cannot natively handle two monitors, add-ons wont be able to expand the resolution to the second monitor.

Now, if the game has the capacity to utilize non-standard resolutions, I could see someone writing an add-on for two monitors that works like this. That is assuming that they give camera control function access in the add-on API.

I would love this. Looking back, I wonder how I ever used a computer without dual monitors before lol.

I have to support the OP.
