Alpha-2 user interface settings work-in-progress UI.[1]

Player customization options are paramount when it comes to UI. That is a very subjective thing that we've all become- our own flavors we like out of certain components of the UI; and so instead of trying to force down the throat of our players a specific approach to UI, why do that when we can develop options and customization that the players can influence themselves: That includes color compositions, it includes text sizes, includes bolded, it includes options of which informations you're choosing to display, scaling.[2]Steven Sharif

User interface settings will have solid defaults along with detailed customization of Ashes of Creation for those who wish to customise their UI.[3][4][5][6]

Our mantra is really solid defaults, so most people won't need to touch anything, but then the customization for everybody who wants to.[3]Colby Marchi

Various display elements can be toggled on or off.[2]

Game settings allow players to fine tune performance to suit their preferences and hardware capabilities.[22][23][24]

  • Particle effects and rendering.[25]
  • Effects bloom and brightness.[22]
  • Effect elements and channels.[22]
  • Motion blur will be togglable on and off.[26]
We'll have certain features from a scalability setting standpoint that will allow players to even further tone down both the bloom and brightness of these types of effects has. Also in addition some of the elements and channels of those effects as well.[22]Steven Sharif

Gameplay actors, such as foliage density will not be able to be adjusted by players.[27]

  • Later stages of game polish will address quality-of-life issues, such as foliage blocking the player's camera.[28]
We will not allow players to to adjust the density of foliage actors in the world. That will be universal... There are going to be areas that are more dense than others. It's meant to be part of the a part of the world that players can utilize for certain purposes, like hiding in for PvP. However, there will be collision with those foliage actors and the player capsule. So as you might see that bush moving and think, "Huh that's odd. That doesn't look like wind. There must be something there." And that's the immersion that we want.[27]Steven Sharif

Camera settings

The aim is to provide a variety of camera options in Ashes of Creation.[29]

  • A "pretty significant" zoom out distance for the camera will be possible.[30][31]
Things will render in the world out of your current vision. While the quality may change between high end and low end systems, and what settings players select, it's important to us to have the game render in an effective manner, that also adds to everyone's immersion while in the game.[30]Cody Peterson
We don't have the first-person zoom in because when you get into first-person there's a different animation set required for the holding of the weapon: The hands that you see in front of you; and we don't have those animations. So we're really focusing on third-person.[32]Steven Sharif
Q: What camera distance is Intrepid using for fights? (WoW vs FF14)
A: Closer to FF14. We want people to have a wide range of view, especially since our battles will be very large. We want people to be able to visually access their surroundings.[33]Margaret Krohn

The action combat camera is tied to the to the player's targeting reticle.[34][35]

  • There will likely be a hotkey that when held down will allow free camera movement in action mode.[35]
  • In future the user will have the ability to choose from different reticle appearances.[12]

Later stages of game polish will address quality-of-life issues, such as foliage blocking the player's camera.[28]

Control settings

Alpha-1 default keybindings.[38]

Players will be able to customize their keyboard control scheme in Ashes of Creation.[39]

Controller support

Ashes of Creation MMO no está diseñado en torno al soporte del controlador.[44]

Controller support will likely be something we work on closer to launch.[46]Steven Sharif

User interface customization

Alpha-2 UI customization.[47]

The UI implementation will be highly customizable, whether it be from resizing, a movement, recoloring, different types of UI flavors that will be presented and offered to players as well. We want to have a very very robust UI system so we know that that's something that's more personally oriented in people's preferences rather than something that can be a one-size-fits-all.[4]Steven Sharif

The Ashes of Creation user interface (UI) and HUD is built with customization in mind, rather than being one-size-fits-all.[49][4][6]

  • Users will be able to quickly customize UI elements on-the-fly to suit the PvX nature of the game and different styles of combat.[49]
Customization of UI elements, especially there on the HUD is a top desired aspect of our UI team.[49]Steven Sharif
  • Users will be able to save and load UI profiles, such as switching to a custom UI profile for raids.[3]
One of the first things we did when we were starting to block in the very base features of our HUD editor was talking about saving and loading profiles. We're going to have options for, when I'm in a raid automatically change my UI to this UI.[3]Colby Marchi
  • The user interface in Alpha-2 will have options to support hover-over casting and double-tap application of AoE effects on the cursor location.[50]
One of the big goals of our UI team and our design team is to accommodate a whole host of different types of user options that they're capable of setting, because we all have different play styles; and in that regard those include things like hover-over casting, double-tap application of AoE effects on cursor location- just a lot of different options, because people like to play different ways.[50]Steven Sharif
It's very important to note that in Alpha 1 you are not going to see a solid UI presentation and that's because our UI currently is still very placeholder very work-in-progress.[11]Steven Sharif

Floating combat text

Alpha-2 Floating combat text work-in-progress UI.[10]

Damage you take, which is indicated in this red number, floats towards your left-hand side; and when you do damage to a target they float to your right-hand side. Now one of the very important aspects of these floating texts is providing the player with customization options that they can adjust the size of the floating text. They can adjust the color composition on how these texts are represented. They can also include damage icons to indicate the ability that's used for those floating texts; and importantly we also call out the crits that you do in a separate way: how they pop in they're slightly above the other number; and then more so, we also have additional functionality for cumulative damage.[10]Steven Sharif

Floating combat text shows damage taken, damage dealt, cumulative damage, crits, heals, XP gained, and other important combat indicators.[10]

  • Damage taken appears in red and floats to the left.[10]
  • Damage dealt appears in yellow and floats to the right.[10]
  • Crits appear larger and are slightly above the other numbers.[10]
  • XP appears in white and is slightly lower on the UI.[10]

Floating combat text is able to be customized by the player.[10][11]

Providing maximum flexibility and player customization options for these floating texts I think is super important.[10]Steven Sharif

Accessibility settings

Habrá configuraciones para ayudar a los jugadores daltónicos. [52][53]

Voice controls

Raid and party leaders are able to control Voice chat.[54][55]

  • Toggle (global) mute on the entire raid.[55]
  • Define who has global speech capacity across the entire raid.[56]
  • Granting administrative functions to raid and party members.[54]

If you are joined in raid where you have multiple squads that have connected into a raid for the castle sieges, the leaders of those squads will be able to communicate across all members of squad. So let's say you have five teams of four, for a total of twenty people within a particular raid... there are five that have global speech capacity; and then in those individual parties they'll also have their own inter-voice communication. So party leader will be able to hear their party members and the party members will hear each other, but they'll also be able to hear other party leaders speak as well.[56]Steven Sharif
