Idea for Multiple Monitors in ARR

[Linkurrra]

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!

I believe this is already on the cards.. But yes of course it would be more "useful" to someone like yourself that doesn't have a dual monitor setup..

But to those of us who do...

lol oh I have dual monitors. I find it more useful for wiki's, skype, vent etc. with XIV's current setup. However I'd like whats being suggested for dual monitors in this thread as well.

I'm just being a Debbie downer as history (as far as other game developers go). This is something that often gets overlooked because they think it would not benefit enough people to be worth the development effort.

But make this thread explode in interest and prove them wrong!

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

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.

[SinisterJoint]

man, count me in on this.

Looked at that curved monitor specs....265mm thickness?
What decade are those designers living in?! This is no longer the CRT era...

I'll wait another couple years for my cheap <30mm thick OLED displays.
