I've noticed that the HUD transparency setting is off by default on dust 514. Does it even matter? I've seen that the cross hair looks a lot more dim with the HUD transparency setting on. Is this something that I should worry about? I set the HUD transparency setting 20 because that's what it's at by default but does it affect the playing experience if I don't? What HUD transparency setting do you do, because I'm really worried that I am hurting my playing experience because I don't have it at 50% like I used to. I did notice that when it was at 0 again like it was in in the default I did notice that then it was a lot brighter and even got so bright especially with the crosshair that it almost felt like the crosshair was like overly bright and it was like hurting my eyes or something. Is it best to just leave the setting alone at 0? What's your opinion? |

I never touch those settings. Only audio, because sometimes, I like peace and quiet. |

So your HUD transparency is at 0 and the brightness is at 50 like it is on default?

Actually, I don't think that setting works.
I recall tweaking that several times and not seeing a difference at all.

Why don't you just take off your headset or turn off your TV volume?

Is that really an issue? I've never even touched that setting.

Maximum visibility... you'd be surprised how many times you'll have to lean forward to find an objective icon if you fiddle with that.

Salutations, TacticianSoldier! HUD transparency to me is just another example of PC-based developers designing for a Console-to-TV game title. I think it's not something you need to adjust if you fight with any of the person-v-person weaponry in the game.
On the other hand, I think it is a SUPERB option to adjust if you play Dust under very special conditions:
If you are using S-video or composite signal cables, or a fuzzed tv monitor, and the 720dpi resolution becomes hard to make out small details,... you can turn transparency down toward ZERO, until you find a level that helps even the cross-hair of railgun turrets CLEARLY stand out against all the busy moving targets.
I have also found that there is another setting, called "scale" that can work in conjunction with the transparency setting to make crosshairs and HUD less confusing to read when you happen not to have the 5-Star super perfect TV setup at your house.
If you are a dedicated VEHICLE driver, you don't necessarily want the HUD info blocking your clearest view of the road or overhead structures. I operate a transport dropship, and as long as I am using an HDMI picture quality, I want the HUD transparent as possible (up to 80 or so)----view of the terrain is more helpful to me than seeing crosshairs, since I'm transporting in the game way more than I'm ever shooting.
Universe of good wishes for the 49, especially CCP Eterne...

Because, either way, Dust is still loud when settings were at default and my TV volume was at 5.
I shut most things down except for voice, but the spawn sound is still loud. My headset broke like a week ago so now, if I'm using it, I have to turn my TV up and the sound settings down. |
