this insistent blocking of my screen with an overlay that wont stop pestering me to invite someone to a group is interfering with my game play in a huge way while doing world bosses for the event quests and it needs to stop NOW. Not later but NOW. Make it go away and stay away. You are making the game unplayable. I dont need pop up overlays to think for me and they arent wanted.

    In 7 years I've never had this problem.

    Must be a PC thing?

    If it is a PC thing it is one I have never seen. So it is either a weird setting you can turn off, or it is one of the addons you installed.

    Like the press E to interact button? Or the you're invited to a group pop-up? If it is the latter, I think people are just trying to be nice and share the quest(s).

      Ah, gamepad, I forget that exists. That sounds like a terrible feature, I hope you find a way to disable.it.

      (Edit: maybe if I head canon that gamepad is a weird setting I'm unfamiliar with I can pretend to myself I was correct from the beginning? Maybe?)

        Can you show a screenshot or video?

        It must be an addon of some sort, because there is nothing like that on the interface. Gamepad mode or not.

        it sounds almost like one of those tutorial type messages possibly, im not sure why it would be coming up though if your not like a new player (it might if its a new toon though and did not disable the tutorials in the settings menu maybe)

        This would be a good start to figuring out what is happening. It would seem to be something other than gamepad mode. Otherwise, we would be seeing numerous comments speaking to the same issue OP has brought up.

        Greetings,

        After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic.

        Thank you for your understanding

        Ah, ranting about a "feature" before trying to find out if it's even a feature. Love those.

        Anyway, is this just a group menu? Maybe a button got stuck and reopens it? Or something messed up key bindings?

        When does it open? When does it go away? What happens if you close it? What happens if you don't?

        Are you on PC? If yes, any addons? If also yes, does turning them off helps? (Always blame healer, but if no healer was involved - blame addons)

        its not a feature when it interferes with game play. If you bothered to read what i wrote you'd have the answers to the questions you asked.

        If no-one else is seeing this issue even when using gamepad mode its definitely worth you checking your keybindings to make sure you don't have a button mapped to that function by accident. I think P is the default primary button for it, but i'm not in front of the game to double check

        You are doing something that opens your group menu. This isn’t something that Zeni is doing to you, this is something you are doing. Review your settings and figure out what that menu is bound to and either stop hitting in in combat, or bind it to something else.
