    True that. But if they refuse to disable the feature, I definitely strongly recommend they get rid of the low health popup. Since it can prevent people from doing stuff to save themselves and cause deaths. If you are going to have these obnoxious, annoying popups they sure as **** should not affect actual gameplay.

    This latest update was great, until that damn cash-shop pop up came up.
    Oh PWI, you had me fooled, I almost thought you could do an update that was solid through n' through.

    This reminds me of "free to play" mobile games that are like "oh you wanna harvest crops? Pay $1 and we'll do it for you", you know what I mean.

    It stinks of desperation and makes me sad. I'm just hoping this doesn't become a trend, or they give us a "no popups" option in systems.
    Whoever thought up this idea needs their pants burned, all their pants. No more pants for them, ever.

    Wonder if any other MMOs do this kinda thing...

    Well, this will make TW interesting...

    Simple solution is to have everyone (or atleast those people that haven't seen it that day) duel to initiate the popup before the TW started just to make sure no one got surprised. Obvious pain in the butt but might save some headaches till they do something about it.
    Whoever said nothing is impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

    Seriously. Why wasnt it mentioned in the patch notes to begin with?
    Why make it so that you can not disable it?
    Also, does this pop up only happen to people with gold? I dont have any, and have yet to see a pop up. Others I have talked to, have gold and the pop up appears.

    I haven't had this happen even on near death, is it because I completely close arc after launching two clients? If you open a second client after launching and close the first you can force close arc.

    No, I had absolutely no gold in the boutique with which to buy anything with and yet it still popped up on me while I was whailing away on Lord of Captivation and had my characters HP down to around 25% after my HP charm had already ticked once and was still in the middle of resetting during the second drop in HP...b:surrender

    I had it while tanking Tyrant Prince Mushi today. Just as he went berserk. It interrupted me healing myself and I died.

    Yes, PWI, I suppose a Guardian Scroll would be handy right about now, thank you.

    Why does this show up in NW... where there is no loss of xp and no chance of dropping items (so long as there's no awkward game-breaking bug).
    I imagine it'll show up in TW too then -_-.

    Also ARC seems to have nothing to do with it as far as I can tell; I don't launch the client through ARC and I still got the pop up the first time I almost died fighting in NW.

    Furthermore, do they think that in the potentially brief moments before you're about to die, you'll be able to click a thing a few times as well as save yourself from dying (since you're probably in a crucial life-or-death situation where dying would be highly inconvenient anyway)? Feels like no to me.

    And this annoying low HP popup isn't the only one...

    Now, when you fail once when refining, you get a popup to buy refine aids.

    To those that say this is a good thing for new players - I don't care if they want a popup, but give us a checkbox on it for DO NOT SHOW THIS AGAIN. Not just for that day, FOREVER. What new player needs to find out about refine aids or guardian scrolls more than once?

    I'm wondering, do those of you that get the pop-up have gold available in the boutique? I have yet to get a pop-up and I keep my gold locked in the bank so when I click the boutique it shows 0. If I need something from the boutique I have to go to the AH bank, unlock it, pull some gold, then buy what I need.

    Wonder if the pop-up is triggered by your character having gold available?

    Edit...Nvm someone answered they had no gold in the boutique. Still I have yet to get a pop-up being near death or refining. But the moment I do get one, count me in the "turn off this stupid idea FOREVER" crowd

    Game used to be great, but PWE has been abusing the player base for too many years. I left for a place I can play and spend my money happily, lol. Doesn't make sense to try and let PWI know what you think, they don't and won't and really never have listened. Only way to make the listen would be to hit them in their pockets; stop playing and stop feeding them money. Till then complaining or thinking they will fix anything the players don't like is not gonna happen. Lol thanks for the chuckles, every time i think of coming back, all I have to do is get on the forums and I remember exactly why me, my money and my friends left!!!

    The pop-up doesn't even block anything on my screen...... It just distracts the f*** out of me. THAT and I feel like this is a blatantly underhanded move from PWE.

    ALSO SUTR YOU SAW THIS POP-UP IN QA TESTING, DIDN'T YOU? Or do you even freaking QA at all? What the actual s***?

    I really enjoyed the popup in TW last night.

    I wonder if this pop up is doing what the pwe marketing department is hoping its doing?
    I honestly couldn't see how this generates any sales.

    However the refining advice on the bottom of the refining screen could turn out decent and if pwe wants to promote the cash sop ideas like this would be more effective ( and **** off less people)

    Seriously, remove that pop up thing or add an option to block it. It's really annoying when your HP goes down to the point when you can use a HP potion and instead you get the useless pop up and your character dies.
    IMHO people who made that, thought of... What were they thinking?

    Do hope there are more replies so that they'd notice the topic, otherwise nothing will change as usual...
