Destiny Custom UI, as Imagined by Gamers

October 17, 2014 by Jacob Saylor

Destiny gets a faux custom UI, designed by gamers like you.

Destiny is a game that is so charged with energy. Much of this energy is positive, encouraging player connectedness and a strong outlook on development from Bungie Studios – who develops the title. There's also the other, less savory side of things, where Destiny has repeatedly failed to deliver on its many promises. I think the community can agree on one thing, though: at it's core, Destiny is a good game. It may not be a Game of the Year contender, but it gives players a hefty experience and there's really no game like it out. When pushed for an answer, most people compare it to Borderlands, but that's a stretch.

While the User Interface in Destiny is not poorly done or mismanaged, many gamers feel like some improvements could be made to the game in this area. A small group of gamers have banded together to try and come up with some cool, different suggestions on how to change up the UI in Destiny to better suit adventuring and cooperative play.

We've listed some of the suggestions, with pictures, below:

I'M LOOKING FOR A FIRETEAM

While in the Tower when bringing up the Nav Mode you could press the d-pad buttons to change your status that would appear above your head, just below your level. I'm looking for a Raid – or others – would appear, being easier to find players that are looking for the same as you are.

QUICK WEAPON CHANGE

I don't know if this could work, maybe it doesn't fit Bungie's gameplay ideas, but I created it nonetheless. I don't really know how it could be implemented (control) – holding the up (primary weapon), right (special weapon) and down (heavy) d-pad perhaps? This way it wouldn't replace the current dancing, pointing etc. animations. Once the UI is on the screen you could navigate through the guns using the d-pad buttons. It'd then disappear after a couple of seconds.

Some may find strange this UI in the middle of the screen but that's how most games works, it must be there for easier visibility. It could be more than 4 slots tho – the one in the far right is the current gun being used. The option would only pop-up when holding the d-pad button, obviously. I kinda dislike this feature but I created the concept because some Guardians suggested it/like the idea.

For the full list, hike it on over to reddit. The compilation is being updated as we speak, so hurry!
