This idea also extends to other elements of the UI. While it would be blasphemy to claim parity with this 21st century miracle, we’re taking that philosophy to heart and organizing social and party features to be as readily accessible as possible. The things that Players do most frequently should require the least friction and effort, and Halo 2 had this in spades. It was simple, quick, intuitive, and put the focus on getting partied up as quickly as possible. On November 9th, 2004, Bungie released a social matchmaking system that is widely recognized by scholars as humanity’s greatest achievement. Weapon-specific special meters help to provide information quickly and within the context of being a Slayer. Our artists and designers work closely together to create elements that augment your experience as a Slayer and pull you even further into the Shattered Isles.Įarly touches of this philosophy were introduced in the recent Evolving Wilds update. At their best, these interfaces complement the aesthetics of a game world to complete a cohesive experience that doesn’t pull players out of flow. User interfaces also provide an opportunity to pull players further into games. Christensen noted, “Nobody likes their time being wasted.” We agree and want to keep you fighting Behemoths instead of menus. It’s important to us that our UI is snappy, fluid, and intuitive. We will continue to change and improve UI over time (like every part of Dauntless), but these changes are an important step toward making the game ready for Open Beta. It has also given us the runway to start improving the user interface - one of the most popular Slayer requests. This has allowed us to begin focusing on completing art assets, building features like island traversal, and overhauling weapons.

Positioning, size, effects, colour, style, and control interface all come together to give Slayers the information they need to make solid decisions as quickly as possible. The art of user interface is providing immediate and relevant information without creating a distraction or incongruity. Every colour Gregario had ever seen was dancing in a soft pool of light.Ī health bar that stands out too much is bothersome, while a health bar that blends in too much isn’t useful. The room filled with fractal, prismatic colours that swirled and flowed across every surface. Sun streamed through the archonite, catching the subtle energy tempered within the crystalline pane. I can’t begin to tell you how utterly exhausting it was to find someone who could get archonite this delicately thin or exquisitely clear. “Nonsense,” the stylist said, holding the work up to the light of a window, “We both know that you’re the only artist with the patience and talent to humour me. Always happy to give special attention to special orders.” He neatly folded the paper back, lifting out a glass plate and inspecting it. Ramsgate’s stylist folded back layers of cloth, revealing a flat paper package. “Special precautions for a special order,” Nikolai grimaced, “Tell me that it’s still in one piece, Gregario. “My Avellainian friend! Surely you didn’t use an entire wardrobe just to pad this one delivery?”
