Idea for Multiple Monitors in ARR

[Sophia]

I have a second monitor I used it for movies while grinding various things in 1.0 and I would totally use it for that +1 OP

This is exactly what I use my second monitor for.

movies... while... grinding... various things...

Would be a nice optional feature OP!

I use my 2nd monitor for porn.

While a nice idea, I think most would use the other screen for their web guides/ chat programs/ music/ movies while crafting and so forth.

Also I much prefer to not have a map all the time because it encourages me as a player to look at my surroundings and learn little landmarks so that I can travel without a map all the time.

I would like to see a little bit of what Wolfie was saying.

I want to see irregular desktop sizes and a choice to extend the view or just extend the window more.

If you just extended the window you can have a space to place maps and chat. And still have a little room for a browser at the same time.

I'd be cool with a phone app from Square Enix that I could pull up info outside the game, find out information and figure out what I will do next when I log back in! Look at the Auction house etc. This could be done while playing the game as well.

I'd much rather have this as an option than actual game functionality for a 2nd monitor. To me it's so much more useful!

Dug up a ComRep response

Ich spiel bevorzugt an zwei bis drei Bildschirmen - wird es evtl. möglich sein auch Fenster wie den Chat aus dem Spielfenster zu nehmen und Ihn separiert in einem eigenen Fenster darstellen zu lassen?

Hallo,

Wir haben diesbezüglich mal beim UI-Team nachgefragt und sie meinten, dass sie noch nicht darüber nachgedacht haben, als Standardeinstellung bestimmte Elemente außerhalb des Spiels darzustellen. Allerdings meinten sie, dass sich da vielleicht etwas mit Add-ons machen lässt.

##Translation

I prefer to play with two to three displays - will it be possible to move the the chat box outside of the game window so that it displays in its own seperate window?

Hello,

we asked the UI-Team and they said that they haven't thought about a configuration option which displays certain elements outside of the games usual screen yet. However they said that it might be possible to do that with Add-ons.

Don't quote me for that translation though

[Altena]

God yes ! Make it happen !

[AmandaHuggenkiss]

Maybe a user made UI add on can do this?

I knew I read it might be possible with addons.

man, count me in on this.
