"Don't recall who asked, but you can play with the HUD opacity so that you don't see your compass, crosshair, or bars, if you want."

Now let us have many celebrations :celebration:

YAY! I'm totally playing with my compass now! lol.

But that's good to hear. Shows that they DO listen to these forums.

YAY!

I guess...

Its not actually turning it off though? And it removes everything else aswell :facepalm: :rolleyes:

Or wait, can we turn the opacity for the different elements individually? Cause then.. Sweet :thumbsup:

This is very good news to me! I disliked having the compass at the top of the sky, as it creates such a big contrast to the sky and always blocks it.

Er, but that's not really the same as a compass toggle... I'd love to turn down the opacity far enough to not see the compass, but I sure as heck want it high enough to see my health bars. (Assuming that's what he meant by "bars").

Good, now all you immersion-seekers can turn the hud completely off.

» Tue Sep 20, 2011 11:02 am

Pfft...they shouldn't include a HUD in the first place! ...ahem. This is good news, although I'd be shocked if that wasn't an option. All the more reason to use that Map in the preorder for navigation. :biggrin:

This news brings a content smile to my face. :happy:

^"compass, crosshair OR bars"

You seem to have missed the "or"-part.

Edit: Darn you ninjas with your reflexes.

So its like the Blind skull in Halo I guess. Sounds fun and Challenging.

Also yay 2 stars!

» Tue Sep 20, 2011 9:17 am

Woohoo! Thanks for the tweet info!

What is the difference between making it completely invisible and turning it off? Nothing.

I read it as you can change the opacity of each... But I guess you could read it as "all or nothing" :shrug:

Edit* Ahh, I see you edited your post. That is how I read it. I tweeted Pete about it to avoid any further confusion.

» Tue Sep 20, 2011 10:31 am

YAY!

I guess...

Options are always good.

» Tue Sep 20, 2011 9:15 am

There you go.

Why was everyone so worried?

Good job, BGS.

» Tue Sep 20, 2011 12:03 pm

Yes! OF COURSE! What kind of question is that!
The compass!
