Taking this fade out idea one step further, it would be cool if the interface elements were logically segmented so, for example, the shield bar only displays when shields are hit or not at full capacity, sprinting on full health would only display the stamina bar and the ammo bar fades out when the weapon stays fully loaded for a certain time. Partially full stats should always display to keep awareness of ones status intact.

The only issue i see is that the UI (especially the hp area) is not really designed to provide this functionality as there are large areas of non funcional elements that occpuy most of the UI so that fading only the bars would not net any benefit in terms of cleanliness.

That means that a complete optical redesign to seperate all metrics into independent and informative units would be needed.

I Don't think it should Fade Completely.
Just Become More Transparent so your Eyes aren't Snapped to it while your Looking for something else.

Nice Idea. In Fact, Great Idea.

zapfrog KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 0	Posted - 2013.06.26 12:31:00 - [1] - Quote A few suggestions for the HUD; A new twist on the HUD; 1. Have the option to have it completely OFF OR 2. Have the option to have an interactive HUD; If you get hit your left HUD fades in and then fades out if you stop getting hit. Charging a weapon or firing causes the right HUD to fade in but when your just running around it's not there. Obviously these would be able to be toggled on or off. I kinda like the idea of the second one.

I kinda like the idea of the second one. I don't know if I like this, I like my HUD being there. Maybe if you got shot then it could get static or blur for a second as if the electronics are messing up, that might maybe be cool. But there would be alot of complaints.

Gaelon Thrace DUST University Ivy League 12	Posted - 2013.06.26 15:52:00 - [6] - Quote I for one can't wait to see how the racial variants for the HUDs will be different. Some customization would be nice though. I could set it to give me some kind of alert when either my shield, armor, or both gets to a certain percentage of my choosing, or alert me when my radar detects a raspberry. I also agree that the entire HUD could use some more three dimensionality. Make it look more like an AR display.

I also agree that the entire HUD could use some more three dimensionality. Make it look more like an AR display. I do like this idea. Again the idea is options. Whether it's weapon types, curved helmet look, active, off, etc. it would be nice to see this implemented. Yes there are more important things to address but hey this is the suggestion place isn't it?

[Edit]: I look at my HUD all the time, even when just running around, just for the Stamina bar... But if you just want the option to turn it off, I wouldn't see a problem with that, I'd want it to go on the backlog instead of the front log, unless the UI team has nothing better to do that day. He said option, so you wouldn't have to play without a HUD if you don't want to.

Poonmunch Sand Mercenary Corps Inc. Interstellar Conquest Enterprises 15	Posted - 2013.06.27 16:11:00 - [13] - Quote I'd like to support some suggestions about the HUD. Have the ability to turn off parts of the displayed target info (chevrons, shields, armour) or to dim them. Especially if you are zoomed in. For both red and blue. It's a total bugger when I'm trying to snipe a specific target in a group and there are a crowd of overlapping red ones. Sometimes you just want to reach out and touch someone special. In the head.

Arc-08 Horizons' Edge Orion Empire 19	Posted - 2013.07.15 18:47:00 - [17] - Quote Edit the TACNET make it easier to see how much total shield/armor hp and our % against them, right now it's in a small corner and you have no time to look at it before your focusing on firing or not getting shot. make vehicle tacnet more detailed, give little O shaped things with arrows that give stats. this could possibly be for active scanners on a vehicle to improve the overall dynamic feel of the battleground.

Again gimping yourself for a cool effect.
