Sign me up for this as well. If there were an option never to show those things, I'd definitely use it. It's particularly annoying when it bugs out and the message won't go away, interfering with whatever I'm doing and actively harming my enjoyment of the game.

At the very least please add the dismiss dialog [X] button that every other popup window has.

Signed, because after the bloody things working properly for a while they're back to randomly bugging out again.

 

Personally I'd be fine with the SH entry notification being removed altogether. If you could just...wander into someone's SH out in the world that would be one thing but since you can't do that it's rather redundant for the game to tell me what SH I've entered when I travelled there intentionally.

Is there still no option to turn this off or even move the box? I'm noticing half the time the box doesn't fade completely or it just stays on unless I relog. I want this to go away. If we are forced to see this box for some reason at least fix it so it is not bugged and fades out properly.

Old thread - but the same issue, it's been years and there is no sign that anything will change.

 

A quick note for those who can't get the (useless and annoying) ownership box to disappear - you don't have to re-log to get rid of it, just reset your UI

 

(Ctrl-U to remove the UI, and then Ctrl-U again to bring it back)

I'd like to see these gone as well (still, think i replied to this years back). These boxes are great at getting in the way of our already cluttered screen... At-least let us change the position of these in the UI manager, do it's not middle of screen. Edited July 17, 2018 by Kiesu

Almost 4 years ago I posted in this thread:

I agree. Please make the message part of the UI, something that can be moved or disabled.

 

Which guild controls a planet isn't something I'm wondering about when I go to a planet. I understand that guilds participating in Conquests need that information, but I don't.

 

I really don't need to see a message telling me that I'm in my own Stronghold every time I go there.

My opinion -- like the situation -- is unchanged. The "feature" is annoying, often bugging by not fully fading away.

Yes almost 2019 and this bug still happening

We're now in 2020, and I'm seriously wondering whether the devs actually play the game. If they do, how come they haven't noticed how annoying this is?

I don't care about conquests or who controls the sector. Right now i am only for the story.

There should be an option to fully customize popups.

Sometimes this messages stay until you relog.

it's been asked, over and over, several threads full, but no one has commented on it, afaik, not sure why, wether they can't, or just refuse to fix/change it.

6 years later this is still an annoying AF problem. Does anyone actually work on this game?

Fast forward another 5 years and still no option to disable this message.

 

The worst part is now it's bugged and frequently gets stuck on the screen and won't disappear until you ctrl-U to reload the UI.

I haven't played for a few years, just came back to SWTOR and it's frighteningly comforting to see some things haven't changed, like bugs that are "features".

Yes! Please have the option of removing these annoying popups

Just a reminder Bioware, when you do crappy lazy bad UI and UE design, it still annoys people, even if they've had what, 7 years to "get used to it."

 

Having instances of poor game design in the game to go along with the bits of good game design doesn't make the good design look better. It just makes the game designers look sloppy.

I can't believe they not only didn't fix it, but not even acknowledged it lol. Absolutely pathetic.

If the message has the bug where the conquering guild doesn't go away on a planet, just reset your UI and it will.

No only is it not fixed it also occurs every time you open your SH hook manager.
