1. I want a customizable hud. Opacity for sure, if nothing else. There should be more basic options for playing with the HUD.

2. It shouldn't cost anything - it should be a set of options under "Settings" really, nothing to do with purchases or the UI. (so I voted the only option that didn't involve costs...)

3. So by the same token, it shouldn't have anything to do with ingame progress or achievements or whatever: it should be a graphics feature available the moment you launch the game & that's that.

4. This all being *said*; if that was all in place and then you wanted to have uniquely arranged HUDs for unique 'Mechs, or ones that you could purchase for MC or c-bills & whatnot, that'd be neat. But first we need basic HUD options, and these unique HUDs would have to be pretty snazzy.

I was really thinking of uniquely arranged HUDs with this. Different target reticules, readouts, colors, etc. I wasn't thinking of removing things altogether or resizing them. I'd imagine it'd be easier to get all of these things if there was some return for PGI.

Hey everyone, let's try to get Russ to talk about custom HUD, mech hangers and geometry in the town hall tomorrow.

[TheArisen]

Looks like Russ didn't see or didn't have anything to say about customization.

Hopefully next time. On a side note, Pgi might be testing special geometry with the upcoming Marauder.

Modified OP to include helping colorblind players.

I also agree that we should have the option to modify a few basic options, only extra special or non basic options should cost MC.

[TheArisen]

What are HUD options that you'd pay MC for? Different target reticles? What else?

[Speedy Plysitkos]

Do IT.

[TheArisen]

How about different readouts or radar displays?

I dream about simple adjustable hud transparency like airplane cockpits has. Because it is very often situation, when i can't see the target or an aimed part of target upon the crosshair. It irritates- 31st century can't use technology of 20'th century.

Adjusting the size of readouts would be a great addition to the game.

It would be good, but I think for CBILL or free, not MC.

[Nesutizale]

Costumising HUDs is a standart option. I wonder why its not in MWO.
So should it be possible? Yes.
Should it be free? Definitly. Its a service to your costumers. Either let gamers create their own, like seen in some of the images or give at least a few simple options like color and opacitiy....and a personal wish...percantage or a bar diagram for damage.

This

I, quite literally, cannot tell the difference between the yellow and green the Inner Sphere HUD uses

There is a reason I really only play clan-mechs anymore lol

If you like this idea come check out premium weapons. These premium weapons would have the exact same stats as their regular counterpart, no p2win at all.

A link is in the OP.

Denis, the Art lead on custom HUD.

"As for customizing HUD; that's a different story. Although it's possible; unless you're thinking beyond just colour shifting, it's quite a bit of work on the engineering side. Believe it or not, the HUD is a very complex and expensive system.
Not saying it won't happen; am saying it won't happen soon. We have discussed it though and have done some R&D."

[TheArisen]

I love the new cockpit monitors. Even if they stay where they are currently, I'd be happy. However, it'd be even better if we could customize them as well as our HUD.

[Heartless Saint]

If we can NOT have a custom hud. Can we please have a custom hud layout? Click and Drag things around to where we want them

I was told theres a lot of moving parts, idk how hard/easy that'd be to do.
