Bungie has detailed a number of quality of life improvements comign to Destiny with update 1.1.2.
Detailed in this week's update, Bungie announced that players will be able to wear and show off their helmets when inside the Tower, the central hub in Destiny. Speaking on the change, here's what UI Engineer Daniel Hanson said:
"The Design Team came to us wondering if we could give players the option to show off their sweet helmets while running around the Tower. We all agreed that it’s important to give players every opportunity to show off the cool gear they’ve earned. It turned out to be a fairly quick UI task to turn helmets on in the Tower. Our engineers banged out the code for it in short order. All we had to do was figure out where to put the menu option. A number of locations in the UI were discussed. Character screen? Details screen? We decided that the Settings menu was the most obvious and easiest place to control this new feature."
In addition to this, Bungie has also added a feature that will allow players to protect items in their inventory from accidentally being dismantled. Players will be able to highlight the item with the cursor and click down on the right thumb-stick, making it safe from deletion. Hanson explained:
"There were some unexpected complications to work through, such as preserving the locked state on our servers when transferring gear to and from the vault. (I hear some people like to put their exotics into the vault, after all.) Thankfully, fellow UI Engineer Ricky Senft was able to help smooth out the wrinkles and bring the feature to completion. Your Icebreakers will thank you."
