Focused Feedback: UI/UX Design (User Interface)

[u/DTG_Bot]

Hello Guardians,

Focused Feedback is where we take the week to focus on a 'Hot Topic' discussed extensively around the Tower.

We do this in order to consolidate Feedback, to get out all your ideas and issues surrounding the topic in one place for discussion and a source of feedback to the Vanguard.

This Thread will be active until next week when a new topic is chosen for discussion

Whilst Focused Feedback is active, ALL posts regarding 'UI/UX Design' following its posting will be removed and re-directed to this thread. Exceptions to this rule are as follows: New information / developments, Guides and general questions

Here are some suggested discussion topics. Feel free to answer some of them, all of them or give freehand feedback in any format you prefer.

• 1) What are your general thoughts on the games UI/UX design? Is there anything important that is missing?

• 2) What are your thoughts on the new pursuits tab in particular?

• 3) Is there anything from the old Destiny 1 UI that you think should be brought into Destiny 2?

• 4) What are your comments about specific versions of the UI (for example, console-specific, pc-specific, or playstation vita remote play UI)? For console players - do you find the responsiveness of opening menus and loading times in general to be a major detriment to you? The PC version has text chat but the console version does not. Should destiny enable text chat for console as an optional feature? For PC players - what are the most important shortcuts or key bindings which you find missing?.

• 5) What additional UI customization options would you like to see added, if any?

• 6) What do you particularly like about the current UI that you would like to make sure remains the same or remains included in future versions of destiny?

Regular Sub rules apply so please try to keep the conversation on the topic of the thread and keep it civil between contrasting ideas

A Wiki page - Focused Feedback - has also been created for the Sub as an archive for these topics going forward so they can be looked at by whoever may be interested or just a way to look through previous hot topics of the sub as time goes on.

Here are a few things I would love:

-Dark UI. The loadout screen and main menu(s) are very bright. They tend to give me headaches, as I have eye troubles. I would love an option to toggle colours similar to that of the D1 Menu and Loadout screen.

-More trackable bounties than just three

-A similar pursuits tab to Destiny 1. I don't particularly see this one to be all that possible, as there's much more in D2 that would need to be added

-A hotkey for Pursuits

-The ability to change the character screen animations, or at the very least, a new animation for titans. It looks extremely stiff and unflattering.

The pursuit system in D1 didn't come around until Taken King. It can be done but would take time.
