Is there an add-on to kill any and all pop-ups?

Now I remember why I hated Legion.

I am trying to quest in Suramar and am finding it beyond frustrating when I am trying to do something and they pop-up continuously breaking my concentration, not to mention my immersion. They are already on the map, they don’t need to keep popping up with that annoying clang to block part of my screen. I can’t even ‘accept’ to get them to shut up, I had to turn off my sound!

And I want to know what idiot went, ‘You know those advertising pop-ups everyone hates, lets put them in the game!’

There actually is, I forgot what the addon is called though, but I remember someone in BfA talking about it.

BfA was fully loaded with talking-head-type pop-up quests, especially world quests.

Enough to the point where addons were made to mute/block them lol.

BeQuiet is an example. There’s others too.

I think there might also be a regular interface option for it, but could be wrong.

I dont know what all Leatrix plus is capable of, Im only using it for a few things, but it seems to have a lot of settings in there that might do what you want, possibly

there’s a UI setting to disable the talking heads

(if that’s what you’re talking about? idk, it’s late) :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I like BeQuiet. It allows you to block it all, or just stop the big pop up yet you can still hear the dialog of the game.

Where is it? I don’t see any options for that.

try edit mode (i think)

not currently logged in to check

Where?

That would be the easiest option.

I had BeQuiet when I played a couple of years ago but it’s not working now and I don’t remember… well, anything about it.

Do you know where I can get it and how, in case there is no UI function to turn them off?

it’s under “misc”…
you need to scroll to find it

(yesss… got my “good deed” out of the way early today!)

It “Talking Head” the same as those pop-ups with the X’s to close them?

11

So I went back and looked.

It was unchecked so I tried checking it and then hit the map. Didn’t matter the talking head still popped up, the clanking noise still sounded and the the announcement still popped up in the middle of my screen.

Then I decided to try fiddling with BeQuiet. I don’t normal use add-ons so I just did what the interface told me. The talking head is gone but the noise and pop-up still happens.

dunno what to tell you.

i haven’t seen a pop-up since disabling it.

maybe they’re still there and i just got so used to tuning them out, that i just don’t notice it anymore :smile:

I have no idea.

It seems like EVERYTHING just keeps popping up. Even when I have been on a quest, I have had the quest-giver pop-up to make (useless) comments on my progress.

Those check boxes are to show those elements for editing, not to disable them in the ui.

that option is just to move the window around. The check box is just so you see it as you edit it. Has nothing to do with stopping it.

You can get BeQuiet from curseforge just like all addons in game now.

everything you’ve selected to be on your screen lights up when you’re in edit mode

i have a character with “broken” gear.
the broken armor man doesn’t show since the box was unticked.

now i have questions.
and i don’t even know what the questions are.

World Quest Tracker has an option to disable talking heads and their sound.

18

The annoying clanking sound when the quest pops-up?

Or the talking heads talking?

19

I have no idea what a clanking sound is, so I’m not sure.

The noise when the title of the quest pops-up on your screen.
