Suggestion: Simplistic Hud Option.

[TC-Guardian]

Currently in the Warframe options menu there is a nice No HUD option which removes all of it from the screen, great for taking Warframe screen shots, and certainly makes the experience more immersive.

The one big let down with this is it makes it near impossible (or quite challenging) to play as there is no map, or shield health bar. So this got me thinking, what about a simplified HUD option which could be turned on, which would use some sort of maker around the edge to indicate direction of the next way point (such as a slight white glow along the edge, or an arrow) and some small health/shield bars. These things would be just noticeable enough to play, but allow for a more immersive and challenging experience.

Just a suggestion, I am interested to see what others think of this idea.

Yes. This is a great idea! I love playing without the HUD, but not on higher levels, as its too easy to die from not being able to check your shields, health and energy.

I want a shortcut button for the hud switch. ita annoying to have to go to optiom just to turn the hud on and off.

That would be a really nice thing. Press F7 to turn HUD off, F12 to take a screenshot (I'm using Steam's option, because WF hid my last screenshots somewhere I never found them ...), F7 to turn HUD on again. Done in a second, no big deal. You can even do it while fighting.

That's an awesome and slick looking HUD scheme I would be very happy with something such as that, though, the Augmented one does not solve the waypoint issue, but that could be an easy fix.
