    Remove popup when guildhest starts?

    Is there way to remove the "help" popup when guildhest starts?

    This text is also present in your chat log, so you can always read it there. Trials, dungeons, etc, don't have this popup. How do you remove this one?

    Shouldn't have to press Escape every time... or am I missing a simple option somewhere?

    thanks,
    icy

    Honestly, I kind of prefer it there so I can quickly scan it and know what to do.
    Even in guildhests my chat gets clogged even before people start saying hello.

    Bump, sorry to necro this but I have done the guildhests enough to know what to do, is there an option to stop it from popping up? I disabled all of the other popup help spam and when loading in slowly and everyone has already pulled you have to try to get it to close on controller while activating your stance in a panic, its just not fun. It will pop up really late sometimes mid picking up the mobs. It doesn't even pop up when you load in sometimes.

    This might do it and sorry for the two year late response op it is character config-->Ui settings--> Display pop-up Help. That should do it, so I will come back if that ends up not being it.

    Oh my gosh!!! it also disables pop up of what quests are on your map T_T why are these two settings the same thing!!!!!! Ugggghhh

    Damn lol reading your comment halfway i was hoping to finally having found a solution for this but it seems it wasn't.

    FFXIV is a great game but there are things like this that absolutely don't make sense at all or have a reason to exist. When i started doing the guildhests i just read the text in dutyfinder right before or while queing for it. If you start reading the pop up when arriving in the instance and due to how quickly some are done the other players may already have cleared it while you're still reading. I also often play in my laptop without a mouse and its annoying to have to click that thing away that takes half your screen before you can start playing.

    In kind of the same way i find the loot system very unpractical too. You get a pop up on which you have to click to open a window to finally see the loot, click need/greed then reclose the window. How many times did i not end up arriving late at next boss in raids because while looting i had to stop walking etc... I know WoW is kind of a taboo word here but the loot system was great. A little pop up window for each piece of loot that you could click on the fly and you were done. Simple and effective.

    It’s a good thing not to answer your enemies. I scarcely ever do. Perhaps Emily is more like me than I am like myself. Perhaps she would rather not answer her friends, even. She keeps it all in her heart.
