Move the pop up messages to the side

[TheMoneyMaker]

It's bad enough that the pop up messages hit when we first log in a character after an event has started, and this year's spring event hits us with 3 in a row on every character we log in on, but I really hate the wedding mission having the bank mission contact pop up in the middle of combat. Is that REALLY necessary? And if it is, can we have an option to default the location of these pop ups be to the side of the screen?

If you could drag the windows to a new location and have that location be remembered (like you can for the 'enter mission' popup for incarnate trials and the instanced MSR) it would help — I'm repeatedly annoyed by the 'confirm teleport' popup being fixed dead center on the screen where it covers what I'm doing and resets to that position if you drag it to the side.

👍👍  YES!  A THOUSAND TIMES YES!   🏆🏆

 

I'd actually considered writing this up myself.  I can't tell you how many times I've been in the thick of a tense fight, crossed some significant point threshold, and suddenly got several pop up messages about "X wants to talk to you" splayed right over my area of vision, forcing me to clear all of them before continuing the fight.  I've much desired to be able to move and resize these, just like I can the Map.

A relevant example being the current wedding mission, where when you earn the 'Villain Disruptor' or 'Hero Slayer' badge, you get a pop-up message from Agent Hassel or Lord Schweinzer throwing up their 'contact unlocked' window in the middle of your screen -- which, by definition, is virtually guaranteed to be while you are in the middle of combat, with the pop-up window obscuring vital information about the targets you're facing.

Yup. That's the most recent example that inspired me to make this suggestion.

I'd like to see the pop-ups removed entirely, or at least the ones which only have a single dialogue option.  Replace them with a notification window that's treated exactly like enhancements, salvage, inspirations, etc.  When a pop-up would otherwise occur, send it to Notifications, flash a message on the screen and highlight the Notifications link on the UI.  When we're not up to our ears in bloodshed and rage, we can open the Notifications window and see what it wants to tell us.
