KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 4038	Posted - 2013.05.28 07:06:00 - [1] - Quote Information display in Dust battles can be greatly improved in many ways, and allow players to assess both the battlefield and their assets better. Here are some ideas to improve it. [weapon information] Ammo numbers floating next to the gun: (much like this), its a more direct way of information display. An overheat bat can also be displayed with augmented reality much like my ammo display proposal. Charge circle in reticle: right now we have to take our eyes off the target to be able to view the charge level, this is a flawed ddesign. Having the charge right on the reticle like it was before would be better. [team info] Who's talking indicator: A speaker icon along with the name of the person talking should pop up when someone on your team or squad is talking. Also the icon should float over their heads so you can visually see who is talking. Squad list: with replacing the ammo meter with floating numbers, this frees up the lower right to have a squad list. The squad list should show the WP of each squad member, total squad WP, squad health, a skull and crossbones if the squad member is dead, a vehicle symbol if they're in a vehicle, and a symbol for the squad leader. Squad leaders should have a special yellow chevron over their head visible to the squadmates, and special map icon to make it easy to follow them. Support equipment icons: Its useful to know who is carrying a nanohive, repair tool, and nanite injector, even when you don't currently need those things. It can be very important to know what your teammates can and can't do for you. [Dropsuit Identification] Different chevrons for different frame sizes: light dropsuits should be represented by the current chevron, the medium dropsuits should be represented by double chevrons (kind of like this), and heavies should have 3 chevrons. On the minimap dropsuit frame size: light dropsuits should be represented with a small dot, medium dropsuits should be represented with a small dot with a ring around it, and a heavy will be represented by a small dot with 2 rings around it. [Sight and scope features] Distance readings: this feature would be great for giving precise distances to teammates to describe your distance from something, or how far away a vehicle may be. Thank you for reading, the suggestions of others are also welcomed.
medomai grey Fenrir's Wolves RUST415 15	Posted - 2013.05.28 08:14:00 - [2] - Quote You are right that the HUD could use some improvements. Displaying information in a manner that is Ergonomic is important to the player. This is a topic that should be discussed much more than it is.
Sebrone Jamleux Namtar Elite Gallente Federation 16	Posted - 2013.05.28 08:49:00 - [3] - Quote Maybe you could add this: New messages in the team or squad text chat should be shown on the HUD. On the minimap dropsuit sizes should be: A ring for light suits, a dot for med suits and a dot with ring for heavy suits. It might be hard to determine if there are two rings or just one. Same for the chevrons: The current chevron for the light, a flat bar for the med and a chevron that points upwards for the heavy.
Heidoukan Forsaken Immortals Gentlemen's Agreement 8	Posted - 2013.05.28 11:00:00 - [4] - Quote KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf, Good stuff mate especially for the weapon information :). It's true that such a modification in this area would greatly enhance the overall flow of the game. My contribution: [Change to Minimap] Minimap needs a slight change. The N,W,E,S should all be included. [Notification/Identification of Dropped Equipment] At the moment there is no indication whatsoever in my HUD or Overview that my Nano Hive/ Drop Uplink has been destroyed. 2 problems arise with this lack of information: Most of the times i have to redrop a nano/uplink just to be sure when in fact i don't need to. This is big tactical mistake as i could be healing my teammates instead for example. I have to remember where i placed it and this is kinda hard when there are 5 drop uplinks all bunched together. If 1 is destroyed, which is mine ? No idea. So i have to redrop it just to be sure. In the map overview it would be nice to see my dropped equipment with a different color. Everything is either blue or red. I want mine to stand out from all the others but only from my point of view. Everyone else sees either blue or red. This next suggestion is more of a new feature but could be implemented (who knows) but such a feature will have impact on the HUD. Read more to find out [Inclusion of a camera system on the backs of dropsuits] This idea came up because of a gallente suit which had those mesmerizing eyes heh but it got be thinking. Wouldn't it be a nice addition to gameplay in having another field of vision. Such a feature would have to be an equipment slot/low slot (in my opinion) as you would physically change your suit. Skill book aside to operate it, this would change the HUD as you would see everything that the camera sees (live feed). Advantages to this system: Well let's see, Heavies and others would benefit from this (not a heavy so correct me if i make a mistake here) since they could see in greater detail what is behind them + it partially removes there limitation in turning speed. You have to ask yourselves which is better. The minimap (which gives minimalistic information) or this new camera system (which is like a rear view mirror and shows exactly what weapon, dropsuit is coming towards you). Skill Book: Since our view range is determined atm by the weapon we are using CCP could implement the same funcionality to this camera system. Greater Skill Level does 2 things: Opens up new Cameras up to proto. Each tier of this equipment increase the view distance. Increases the focus of the camera. Could have thermal/infrared/night vision capability. Choices are N here :). KAGEHOSHI if you want to talk today at around 18:00 GMT about more improvements let me know. We can talk in a channel about it, then make a detailed list and hand it over to CPM and/or ppl interested in seeing such changes. Thanks for your time.
KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 4049	Posted - 2013.05.28 11:31:00 - [5] - Quote @ Heidoukan: I can't believe I actually forgot to have the 4 cardinal directions as a request in the OP. Will add it to the OP. I really like the idea of destruction notifications, and identifications for one's deployed equipment. Will add it to the OP. The back camera thing sounds interesting, and technically fits with the theme of information display, but that's adding an entirely new item; should have its own thread IMO. I think I will be asleep at that time, I'm nocturnal now.
Heidoukan Forsaken Immortals Gentlemen's Agreement 9	Posted - 2013.05.28 11:38:00 - [6] - Quote Ok i'll make a new thread concerning this camera system. No worries m8, i'll find you when your online ;). Cheers. If i come up with more ideas i'll post here.
KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 4049	Posted - 2013.05.28 11:44:00 - [7] - Quote Added this to the OP [Minnimap] Minimap needs a slight change. The N,W,E,S should all be included (Heidoukan's suggestion). [Equipment] A number next to friendly nanohives and drop uplinks that represent how many spawns/resupply nanites they have left. A notification (similar to when you earn WP, or replenish ammo ammo) that tells you when your deployed equipment is destroyed (kind of based on Heidoukan's suggestion). Have the equipment that you deployed appear as a different color to know which ones are yours (Heidoukan's suggestion).

Galvan Nized Deep Space Republic Gentlemen's Agreement 0	Posted - 2013.05.28 12:56:00 - [12] - Quote Might I suggest different color chevrons for different squadmates? I hate being in battle and having no idea who is who when im in the map.

Galvan although it's a nice concept you do realize that when they increase the number of ppl in your squad say 8,10,12,14 etc.., there will be a rainbow of colours in your map. Are you going to remember all those colour chevrons? KAGEHOSHI suggestion works best i think.

Too many colors and I start getting a little antsy.
Heidoukan Forsaken Immortals Gentlemen's Agreement 10	Posted - 2013.05.28 13:41:00 - [15] - Quote @KAGEHOSHI - I think this should be included in map overview and/or in main HUD. [Control Point Rehacking Timer] Addition of a Timer indicating how long till an enemy hack is successful which makes it impossible for me to spawn at a Control Point. Let's take this situation: - I'm dead, - I'm in map Overview, - Control Point A is about to be overrun but there are friendlies around to defend it but Control Point B will also experience same situation. Which to go for? Tactical Decision time. - Control Point A is being hacked by the attackers and i still haven't decided. Should i go for A or B. I decide to go for A but i didn't make a mental note of when the enemy started the hack. I'm clueless so i risk it. Oopps too late. Couldn't spawn by 3 secs. A hack is ofc influenced by the current Hack skill of the player + the hacking bonuses of the minmatar dropsuit + amount of ppl hacking it so even if i made a mental note i couldn't be 100% certain i would spawn on time.
Driftward Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 127	Posted - 2013.05.28 16:30:00 - [16] - Quote These HUD improvements would be fantastic. Especially everything concerning the team info, weapon info, minimap, equipment info headings. The others I can live without indefinitely, but those I mentioned are either necessary or should be VERY high on the mythical priority roadmap list.

I hate being in battle and having no idea who is who when im in the map. A better way might be to number the squad list, so each squad member corresponds to a number, then number the chevrons. This way you can quickly ID your squad members by their number.

Zeylon Rho Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 969	Posted - 2013.06.24 13:57:00 - [32] - Quote I'm not sure if it's "in-game" per se, but I guess technically everything after the patch screen is "in-game". Any stat that can be modified by a skill/item or is relevant to gameplay should be displayed on the fitting screen.: Most recently, we've "lost" data from our fitting screen in the form of damage modifiers (though they weren't displaying the modifiers with penalties). This means that stats like "shield delays" which can be modified by Regulators, Damage modifiers, hack speed modifier, etc. If it's part of our fitting, and if things can change it - it should be present on our sidebar in the fitting screen. There's no reason we shouldn't have all this available. You shouldn't need to have a calculator to figure out what's happening to stats between multiple skills and your equipment. Improve the module/item swapping comparison display: Currently, "some" items will turn some numbers green/etc. to indicate that slotting the item will improve a given stat. This isn't universal however. Other items that add a raw bonus either won't actually show the changed value till it's equipped or a value without skill mods is shown. I'd suggest making the better/worse color indicators bolder in color, always visible for any stat change, and consider adding an up or down colored arrow in the margin of the sidebar (left or right) to indicate the value is improving or declining with a highlighted module. ... feel free to clean these suggestions up, it's just something bothers me personally.

And do people really look at ammo in the middle of firefights? I especially like the idea of direction pointers on the minimap. Keep up the ideas - they're great.

Jathniel G I A N T EoN. 666	Posted - 2013.07.17 03:35:00 - [52] - Quote Yes, yes, yes, and yes. +1 OP The phrase is cliche but fk it, "CCP, give this man a job." Have you considered presenting this to some of the CPM members? Get their feedback on it, and they could probably shoot it CCP's way for further consideration. These interface proposals make it minimal, clean, fluid, vibrant, and efficient. You shouldn't need to see data unless it's relevant. I would like to add that target info, should have a delayed fade out effect, so that after you have wounded a target, you can get an idea of how much HP he has left. Also, in case someone happens to be on the overview map, when someone in their squad says "drop an orbital by me" they can see who "me" is because their name is following their dot on the overview map. Simply put, squad member names should always be displayed on overview map, names of other dots should only appear if they are hovered over.
KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 5039	Posted - 2013.07.17 05:50:00 - [53] - Quote Added this to the OP Allied Aim Marking: medomai grey wrote: I propose a visible line be shown whenever a teammate ADS(aims down sight). This line would reflect where the teammate ADS is aiming and would only be visible to other teammates. This would give non-squad leaders players a tool to communicate. It would also provide info that will help players avoid walking into friendly fire in PC.

Vyzion Eyri The Southern Legion RISE of LEGION 1037	Posted - 2013.07.21 11:48:00 - [56] - Quote Perhaps for allied aim marking that medomai suggested, that would only be visible to people with a certain module? Personally I think a feature like that is too good to give to everyone. Unless suits had the ability to toggle vision modes, and infra-red showed those markings, but as a result everything else is harder to see/washed out black? Also, I'd love for the ammo indicator to simply become a big number showing the amount of bullets left in your clip at the bottom right. Max ammo. carried can be a smaller number beside it, separated by a / if needed. The circular clip indicator currently should just become a small linear one underneath these much more prominent numbers. The overhead rotating compass I think should be something like Skyrim in that it displays where objectives are, and squad orders, if available and you're facing that general direction. Scrolling location information at the beginning of the game, similar the one in this video (13 seconds in) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzVjggarRns&list=SPFC7B99173F4DC31F&index=13 really just for immersion. Remove the numerical amounts of shields and armour, replace with a big percentage of current total HP. Shield or armour amounts by themselves could still be displayed underneath this percentage. Love idea of adding the charge/spool/overheat indicators around the crosshairs. That'd be awesome.

I can only speak for myself (so I suggest reading responses to your question from others) Having all 4 cardinal directions is long overdue (N, W, E, S). Having a who's talking indicator would really be useful as well, most of the time I have to open the chat menu to try to figure out who I'm talking to. A little speech symbol and a name on the side of the screen. Squad leader special ID chevron is also very important since it would let you know who to follow. Equipment icons Thanks for the reply

Would also be useful to show damage incurred if we ever get vehicles that can be disabled or have components/turrets blown off. 2. When in a LAV or HAV manning a small turret, an indication of which way the vehicle is points would be nice (the main gun on a HAV is shown in it's orientation to the hull already).

Logibro best bro. <3 I'd say that having the cardinal directions is an absolute must, and that really can't be hard to do. Some indicators in the centre of the screen (I preferred the old charging in the centre of the screen). A few more sophisticated chevrons marking squad leaders and people carrying nanite injectors would be nice as well. Those are the most important imo, though 'Allied aim marking' would be a really cool thing.

I-Shayz-I Forty-Nine Fedayeen Minmatar Republic 635	Posted - 2013.08.17 19:42:00 - [103] - Quote I don't think we need an icon for players with nanohives or injectors, but knowing who has a repair tool would be important (maybe even having their icon changed to a cross or something) Also, having some sort of icons on the screen similar to the "downed" icon we have now for players with an injector would be a great addition to the flow of the game. Resistance 2 did this by putting an ammo or cross icon with an arrow on your screen by their character, and if the person was behind you or to the side, the icon would stay to the side of the screen and point an arrow in the direction of the player that needed help. If you've ever player starfox 64, it's a lot like that as well. Right now, if you want to find someone who needs repairs, you have to constantly aim at players across the map to see who's in combat. With these icons, a support class can focus more on supporting the entire team rather than just players in the vicinity.

Kiriana Oma-Lyndel Raven Accord Black Core Alliance 0	Posted - 2013.08.19 04:45:00 - [111] - Quote [quote=KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf]Information display in Dust battles can be greatly improved in many ways, and allow players to assess both the battlefield and their assets better. Here are some ideas to improve it. [Weapon information] Ammo numbers floating next to the gun: (much like this), its a more direct way of information display. An overheat bar can also be displayed with augmented reality much like my ammo display proposal. Charge circle in reticle: right now we have to take our eyes off the target to be able to view the charge level, this is a flawed ddesign. Having the charge right on the reticle like it was before would be better. Please no... It's out of place and looks ridiculous [Communication] New messages in the team or squad text chat should be shown on the HUD (suggested by Sebrone Jamleux). If not, then there should be a notification of some kind on the side of the screen that tells you that there are new text messages. Who's talking indicator: A speaker icon along with the name of the person talking should pop up when someone on your team or squad is talking. Also the icon should float over their heads so you can visually see who is talking. Allow us to put custom text (with editable quickdraw list) displayed above our characters' heads while in War Barge or while in the battle (suggested by Robert JD Niewiadomski). Like this idea, makes sense! [Team info] Squad list: with replacing the ammo meter with floating numbers, this frees up the lower right to have a squad list. The squad list should show the WP of each squad member, total squad WP, squad health, a skull and crossbones if the squad member is dead, a vehicle symbol if they're in a vehicle, and a symbol for the squad leader. A mic would give you all the info you need on this... Allied Aim Marking: [quote=medomai grey]I propose a visible line be shown whenever a teammate ADS(aims down sight). This line would reflect where the teammate ADS is aiming and would only be visible to other teammates. Another please don't... just put in some sort of "green laser" make it look like it makes sense not out of place like your ammo cap... On the minimap dropsuit frame size: light dropsuits should be represented with a small dot, medium dropsuits should be represented with a small dot with a ring around it, and a heavy will be represented by a small dot with 2 rings around it. Dots, dots and more dots... don;t we already have enough dots and weird looking symbols that look damn close to each other? A notification (similar to when you earn WP, or replenish ammo ammo) that tells you when your deployed equipment is destroyed (kind of based on Heidoukan's suggestion). Don't agree with this, your ability to use your minimap would tell you when it's gone Have the equipment that you deployed appear as a different color to know which ones are yours (Heidoukan's suggestion). ....Why does my equipment need to be a different color? I'm getting wp, I have a brain and a decent memory... Wobbling HUD. Like in the closed beta. Yayy!!! let's bring back motion sickness to everyone's couch again! [Stealth/Detection] "Detected" eye symbol: When you are detected on the enemy's TacNet and marked on their minimaps, an eye will appear on the corner of your screen informing you that you have been detected. Ok I thought this was DUST... not Skyrim... Look! Look at that uber 150% back stab crit guys! Everything that isn't in here I agreed with, but some of these are just make it look like you're using the word "intuitive HUD" To create the 1st sci-fi Call of Duty. The initial idea looks great on paper but to those of us who already understand the game it's a slap in the face, a mash up of Syndicate, CoD, BF3 and Skyrim HUD updates? What?! o.O

Probably the most pressing ones that would also be easy ti impliment would be directional markers (which i think should be persistent in the hud somewhere ) and indicators to say who is talking. Some indicator on the radar as to where squad mates are even if off radar would be good also especially in ambush.
Nomex Gallatin OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 9	Posted - 2013.08.20 13:21:00 - [113] - Quote +1, Good stuff here. I would add to this: As a logistics (only for logistics perhaps), I would like to see the health status bar of my nearby teammates in my HUD when I am within repair tool distances and slightly beyond, as I am not afraid to run towards trouble if I think I can save my team a clone and being able to keep an eye on my closer teammates status on my HUD would be invaluable. Again, this improvement would be given only to logistics, and perhaps as a option in the system menu.

You can travel through wormholes but you cant detect swarmer that aims your dropship or distance to target. Just don't turn this game another useless FPS we will forget of when next part comes out. Where are jetpacks? Damn you can have travel in warp but no jetpacks. This what makes some games less interesting and plausible.

501st Headstrong Super Nerds 4	Posted - 2013.09.05 23:10:00 - [120] - Quote Ok I just read through every post on this thread, and I can honestly say that every single idea here needs to be implemented. Further more, Squad mates on the minimap should not be green, it blends in too easily with a whole lot of blue friendlies. Have them pulse or something. Someone in a very early post mentioned Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, andd I couldn't agree more. When teammates are down to a clip of ammo, an ammo simply flashes over their head. Now it is not persistent, but it should be in Dust. Teammates that are down have an exclamation marker above their heads, and an audible cry for help. Now while mercs crying for help constantly is ridiculous, it could work for squad members only, making them stand out when names fade after a character falls. Directions are a must, along with building outlines such as walls. One preliminary photoshop of an ADS HUD was excellent as a representation. CCP, I want that HUD. And in the future, HUDs need to have dirt and such fly across it, or rain streak down the screen, similar to COD: MW3's campaign in which a Frag Grenade is thrown at you. But CCP, don't just read what people reiterate. I know it is lengthy, but read this whole thread. See why people say what they say. I just said it all over again so new people to the thread are up to speed, but in doing so I left out a ton of brilliant ideas. Listen to the gamers, and guys reference Video Games that can be looked out. The Ghost Recon HUD is an excellent example of how such features should be implemented, with the addition of a Shield and Armor/ Stamina of course. And, maybe instead of having to aim at a hostile to see how powerful they are, you can toggle a switch that will tell you who are easy pickings vs. who are not. A check mark above a Scout will tell you you could probably take them in the best conditions vs an X warns players of Proto gear, so newbies don't bite off more than they can chew, with experienced players attacking those who pose a challenge and or/ credible threat. I don't really use the efficiency rating, but this would be a lot better warning in my opinion. And Lastly, I propose that minimap for DS( Drop Ships) be like a half-globe. That way they can see if they're above an objective, as well as what is below and around them completely. These are my 2 cents, but I have loads more ideas =)

Artificer Ghost Bojo's School of the Trades 1147	Posted - 2013.10.30 00:12:00 - [132] - Quote Some really just shiny changes here, not really gameplay-important. On the very side of the screen, at a transparency level that isn't hindering, but is still visible, lines of text scrolling down on your HUD. They COULD be associated with your actions, but really I'm just thinking text that wouldn't make sense, but still looked like some form of code or whatever. Example: Place down a Nanohive > "//:Nanohive:Active //:Resupplying:Nanites:Ammunition" (Where each //: is another line of text). Also, at the start of a match: "//:UplinkProtocol:Established" Maybe a small circle-type marker around ENEMY players that you're scanning? Whether it be with Passive Scanning or an Active Scanner, something like this: http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/5BCxbaZlzs8/maxresdefault.jpg Shoutout to Bandicam. Anyways, EVE is a very UI-Heavy game, so just pay attention to the circle on the ship. That's because the player has "Locked On" to that ship. I'm just thinking that circle should show up on the screen for anyone you've scanned. Easier than checking your minimap constantly. Only reason I say enemy-only is because it could get pretty annoying, not being able to see with the spam of circles on your screen when in a crowded area. Instead of showing two straight lines above an enemy target, make it two semi-circle lines, lining the inside of the circle I mentioned above. Number display shown in the space inside the semi-circle, so we can see how much more health they have to go. EVE health bars are a great example. Of this, also shown on the bottom of the picture I showed above. Screen crack when shield is being depleted, similar to Tribes: Ascend, where your visor cracks when your health is depleted: http://media.pcgamer.com/files/2012/03/Tribes-Ascend-preview-3.jpg Pretty bad example, but you get the picture (Pun intended). That's all I have right now. Just generally, I want more UI changed to make the game seem more intelligent. Lines of code, targeting markers, etc will help this game have more of a futuristic feel. //:Artificer:Out ~Art, CEO and Director of Educations at Bojo's School of The Trades, Co-Founder of the Learning Coalition

Ecshon Autorez Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 105	Posted - 2013.10.31 01:47:00 - [135] - Quote TL;DR (but I did give the OP a quick look over ) Not sure how I like the display on the side of the weapon, that'd mean that ALL weapons would need to be designed to accommodate the display on the side, limiting what the weapons could potentially look like. The compass at the top of the HUD is a great idea and really useful. Allied Aim marking seems good, but potentially annoying. As long as it doesn't freak out and block your sight when it inevitably gets aimed in your face it seems pretty solid idea. I think it should be shared among squadmates only. If you want to see what it looks like go and look at Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. They had it in campaign for coordinated stealth kills. I'd link to a video showing it, but I'm having difficulty finding one. We already have info on enemies when ADSing them, but you don't really notice it since it's out of the way in the bottom left. Centralizing it is a good idea. Notifications on whose talking is a yes. I say that if someone types something (in whatever chat you left active) it appears somewhere on the screen for a few seconds before disappearing. Yes to giving the map a grid, people having been asking for this for awhile. I also think it should tell you what grid square you are in around the minimap. Lock on detectors for vehicles is goodish. (would buff weaker vehicles; yay \| but would also buff indestructible tanky tanks \| boo) Different chevrons for dropsuit sizes doesn't make much sense to me outside of some very specific circumstances so I'd say no. (and the double chevron is already used on squad leaders) Don't like wobbling HUD, we're wearing helmets. I'd be worried if the helmet of my super high tech space combat armor suit started getting all wobbly on me.
