User Interface

The User Interface (UI) is what the player uses to interact with the game. This generally refers specifically to menus, buttons, windows and similar elements that contain the information and tools the player needs to control their character and play the game. Many UI windows can have their scale and opacity adjusted, allowing you to customize your UI to your specific needs.

This page will help explain the various UI elements found within Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen.

Player Character UI

Many elements of the player's personal UI can be moved and have their height and width adjusted, allowing players to manipulate their UI for their personal play style.

The Spell Effect Window (image greatly truncated). [Pre-alpha 2019]

NPC UI

These UI elements provide information about Non Player Characters (NPCs) in the world, regardless of whether they are hostile or friendly.

The health bar of an NPC (hostile, in this case) [Pre-alpha 2019].

The NPC health bar contains a lot of useful information regarding the current status of an NPC.

1. It tells you the NPC's name.

2. It shows you how much health points (HP) the NPC currently has. This is tracked by a green bar that empties as the NPC loses HP.

3. It shows you what status effects it is currently under, represented by the ability's icon shown beneath the health bar. Status effects can be either Beneficial (buffs) or Detrimental (debuffs). You can determine which type of status effect it is by the color surrounding the icon: green indicates its a buff, while red indicates its a debuff. The color also makes up the duration timer, which depletes as the status effect nears it's end. The icon will begin to flash when spells are within seconds of ending. Note the number within the first icon: this indicates that an effect has a stacking property, and tells you how much of this stacking effect the NPC is currently under.

4. If there is a cluster of targets, the NPC you are currently targeting will have an arrow pointing at the name. Additionally, the other NPC's names will be somewhat faded.

File:UI Current Target Healthbar.png

The Current Target health bar of an NPC (hostile, in this case) [Pre-alpha 2019].

The current target health bar is largely the same as the standard health bar, but with some quality of life added:

1. This window can be moved.

2. It allows quick reference of what target you are currently attacking, useful when there is a group of NPCs and pivotal to your group's crowd controller.

3. It will display even when the NPC is no longer visible on screen (e.g: the NPC moved behind a wall.)

The Dialogue Window [Pre-alpha 2019]

This window is displayed when you interact with a non-hostile NPC. It contains whatever the NPC has to say, whether that is lore or the beginnings of a Quest. From this window you can choose what to say to the NPC.
