Can We *please* Get A Better Reticle?

[Qeveren]

Please?  I don't really have much fun not being able to see where I'm shooting when things get hectic.  The current reticle is annoyingly unobvious in combat and also looks like literally every other hud indicator in the game. XD (yes, it's embarrassing but I end up trying to 'aim' with the waypoint markers)

 

Please?  A reticle picker and maybe some colouring and opacity options?  Pretty please?  With a forma on top? :)

Reticule was already fixed for visibility, I think it's amazing now, personally!

But customization should be possible, at least color-changing!

Seriously?  I can't see any difference in it from like, two months ago.  It basically vanishes in the furballs to my eyes. XD

Been saying this forever, all they have done is center it, but they did not fix the visibility of it at all, you still lose it in the snow.

This is why most games tend to use a blue for the HUD. If it's the correct shade it should stand out in most circumstances. Of course being able to choose the color would be better for most people I think.

What's funny is that UT2004, another DE game, had so many reticule options.

or at least the ability to make a custom reticle that we can swap with watever we'd like to create

Now I want an Awesome Face smiley as my reticle...

It used to be plain white and a bit washed out, even offcenter at times.

Now it's crisp and has a black outline (which is a great way to make a crosshair as it's visible against both in dark and light backgrounds) and seems dead-on.

What kind of crosshairs would you prefer? Can you give any examples (pictures)?

It looks very bland and I lose sight of it sometimes.
Would like a reticle for every weapon type.
Colour customizing as well.
Anything beyond that is asking to be spoiled.

Here is something I posted in another thread about this, for some reason this stayed on the screen because of some glitch but because of it I was able to see and hit everything I aimed at. If the gunsight was like this that would be great.

I forgot to mention I made the half circle red in photoshop to illistrate what color it should be, but the blue diamond with the white dot in the middle was untouched.

[Romalic]

its one of the worst visual letdowns of the interface, in a crowded furball of combat very often I loose the xhairs, red would be the perfect colour for me, but ideally the ability to change its colour with an RGB slider would be best for colour blind people and everyone

I'm not really a UI designer, but some more options as to its design would be nice.  Being able to control the opacity and colour myself would help a great deal, IMO.

 

A design that isn't the same scale and shape as every other UI indicator would be good, too. :)

I would like to see a close comparison between the old reticule and the new one. I can't tell a difference at all and the "new" one is still terrible. This is such a stupidly easy thing to put in the game, I don't understand why this hasn't been implemented yet considering everyone basically agrees the reticule is almost invisible.

[scavenge]

Could only be good if there was some color options and such?

[BoompigXD]

Excuse me while i steal this.

Be my guest.

I don't seem, to have this issue, maybe I'm just better at focusing on a point. I run on extremely high settings, up to the point where the glow on my screen almost gets to be to much to bar vs infested but other than that its ok.... Then again I run a 32 inch 1080p led tv for a monitor so I guess my viewpoint is much larger.

In other words larger monitor would be a great investment anyway, if you really want to see some amazing things in your game.

I'm fine with the current reticule but for the people that want changes i would say add it in, but allow us to keep the current reticule for those of us who like it

Solid red, a big upside-down V with a pip or three for judging distance, and a tiny dot at the tip of the V just large enough to cover a Grineer's face at Lex sniping range.

I'd like some sort of "dynamic" crosshairs. Something like the ones in Dead Space. The reticle in Warframe is pretty useless in close combat or when trying to hit a flying target, it's like it doesn't compensate for distance from the barrel of your gun to the target (I don't know how to explain it... basically: on certain circumstances you miss when the dot is right on your target).

I'd rather have a precise and reliable marker of where I am actually pointing at than a centered PNG that I have to work around sometimes.

C&C: Renegade basically did this. There was an outer circle and an inner dot in the reticule, the outer circle corresponding to where you're pointing your weapon, and the inner dot showing where the bullet (or other projectile) would actually hit. Something like that, if not exactly that, would work wonders for aiming in Warframe.

Yes, exactly that. I had forgotten about that fun but underrated game :P
