    By the way guys,
    What about the HUD, I haven’t seen anything of that.
    I liked the one in ww more because it was concentrated in one corner and it could be seen in one glance.
    But I missed the fact the there were to types of sand banks one for reversing time etc and one for the special power. I thin they should bring back the banks for special powers. Otherwise it’s going to be to easy to have using those special powers. I mean they should stay special right.
    So they should change the HUDaccording to that as well. And maybe a nice touch that the dark prince and normal prince have different HUDs. And maybe also add strength and endurance in the HUD for example. Dunno just saying something.

    What are your idea’s guys?

    So you want to import some RPG elements? It does seem like a good idea to customize the characters a little bit. I think the levels will concentrate on different things for the prince and the dark prince. e.g. more stealth based levels for one, and more fighting based ones for the other (if this makes no sense at all, let me know )

    And as for the HUD, I agree that WW's was better for reasons you gave already (mostly the fact that it was concentrated in the corner, as opposed to the sand tanks down the side of the screen in SoT) But I don't know if we can expect in-game screens with the HUD any time soon. It'll give away too much about the sand powers and their use at this point.

    But that's just my humble opinion

    Just don't clutter up the screen. Don't fill the screen with a bunch of useless meters. Only show what the player needs to see like how much life and sand they have.

    Big thanks to Dark_Prince11 for the sig

    exactly no cluttering no onsense. but i would definately like to see some new elements init, and want the specials sandtanks back from sot.

    but indeed like FCY-JMDK-WLKY said we won't probably see them in the near future, cos they would tell us too much about the game

    HUD in WW was so exotic and unusual, amazingly beautifully done. Can't wait to see what are they gonna do with POP 3's one
