Option to remove the novelties skill thing :(

[Aeolus.3615]

As topic says, since i didnt find a way to disable useless stuff i dont care on my UI.it is super anoying.

Can we at least drop more items like food and alikes into that skill bar at least if is not be removable???

[Batel.9206]

Yes, please... It's such a small thing, but it's kind of annoying to have a blank gray space there that I'm never going to use. The option to remove it would be lovely.

[Rauderi.8706]

It's a super-tiny blip on the UI, tucked neatly under the mount button (which people should be using custom keybinds for anyway). I really don't know how it's bothering people. >.>

People are different. And the on/off button would be OPTIONAL. It wouldn't hurt anyone.

Even outside of WvW is anoying since its

clutter on the UI

since has no usage and players are forced to have it, its simply bad UI and behavior planification....i think if we could use the food or other consumables allowed in WvW could kinda fix it, but for now im forced to remove the keybinding for that skill bar as well..I am already extremely regretted that i took the bass and added it to the useless bar..

[Fantasy.5321]

Yes, please. It's nice for people who actually use these 'novelty' items but I don't. Making it optional is the best solution.

[squeegee.4320]

Bumping this. The button is totally worthless to me, and probably 95% of players.

[Cevlakohn.2165]

/agree

Summoning chairs is cool and all, but I'm not sure that we need a permanent button on the action bar for it. It also makes it slightly easier to accidentally click it when trying to summon my mount.

[hugo.4705]

also the button is textureless... plz change the icon into a note or a question mark or eventually confetti! My hand sweep regularly and I misclick the novelty button instead of the mount one! Can you plz make, a third full sized square, right to the mount button, that can be disabled/enabled through menu?

"Hi, it doesn't affect me so it's cool"

Very insightful comment, thank you for sharing. Case closed.

Yes. And it is not good looking that it stays grey (and does not show the active item) even when you use all 4 novelty-slots.

So please make an on/off switch (also for the mount button above) to show/hide the button. Or at least make it bigger and show the icon of the selected novelty.

it would be great to add food to it. and my selfless potion

Yup, this is the only way I would use this feature. I hope they don't forget about the Selfless Potion when they add the Tonics.

Potions will be added. They decided to roll out the first four types when it was ready, rather than trying to convert all gazillion infinite-use tonics and delay the feature.

[Ameepa.6793]

I see no harm in adding an option to hide it if someone wants to.

Also adding textures to it to show what ever item is selected would be nice too :)

[Endless Soul.5178]

Alchemy, people really will complain about every little thing.

[Orion Templar.4589]

Options are always a good thing. A check box to show it or hide it from the interface would be a great addition.

Asking for optional things is not complaining.

[Blocki.4931]

You call THAT thing clutter? Come on.. I am one of the people constantly posting about wanting an option to hide UI elements, but that? Meh.

I can see them adding it though, so here's to hoping you get what you want

[Malediktus.9250]

Anet should allow UI customization in general

@Endless Soul.5178 said:Alchemy, people really will complain about every little thing.

Literally little. :P

Not against the idea of a UI option, but honestly what bothers me more about the little grey button is that it doesn't show the active item, and because it's so small, it's obnoxious to get to when you do want to use it. I haven't checked keybinds for it, and I'd probably clear it if it existed. I don't intend to use them often enough to justify it.More in agreement with @hugo.4705 about it: make the button bigger, show the active item (like it does for mounts), and give an option to hide it.

[Rhyse.8179]

Remove a constant reminder that there are things you could be buying? You do not know Anet.

(+1 though, but it's a pipe dream)

That would fix this problem, some old problems and potential new problems. Good call, I'm all for it.

The mount button should also have an option to hide it, since I have every mount keybinded I do not need to see the icon slapped onto the end of my skill bar, personally I've always thought it looked like an unfinished work in progress, and the new novelty icon is even worse.
