Color Blind
|
The colors on the sockets are somewhat *very* hard to determine if your color blind, Just an FYI it would be great if there was a brighter color or some other way of determining the color on them.

I second this. Equipping sockets is pretty much trial and error for me and it is impossible for me to know if an item is worth picking up without calling somone over to the computer to tell me what sockets it has. If your could add a small letter to the graphics it would help alot. Put a "R" inside each red socket for example. I like alot about the game so far thank you for the work you are doing and taking the time to listen to feedback.

unfortunately for the color blind people, alot of games use color to determine diferent things, my brother is color blind, and he has some trouble knowing what color the sockets and even some items on the ground, maybe you guys could implement a color blind mode, just something simple like (<color>) after a items name or in a socket, when the color blind mode is active.

The current sockets do have different patterns on them in addition to the colour. I'll look into making the difference more distinct some time later.

might as well add this here:
the forest map directly after merveil is horrible to play for me (admitedly i am triple colorblind, so this might just be for me). especially the little apes inbetween the green foliage are _VERY_ hard to see ;/ |

Maybe add a Color Blind modus in the Grafic options which change all important colors in the game for the colorblind ppl. Just a Idea

I am also red-green colorblind and it is a minor inconvenience.
How common is condition?

" I personnaly don't have problem with colors. But, couldn't the socket/gem issue be 'solved' by using different shapes ? Like traffic light ? Square (Red), Triangle (Blue) & Circle (Green). |

" I like the shape idea as well, you can also make the gems looks this way, so that color blind people don't have to mouse over their gem just to make sure what slot they can fit in. (Although you can tell whether a gem is red/green/blue from the stat req, some gems doesn't have stat req at level 1) Although I would swap circle with oval, and let portal gem be circle so that it can be sockect'd into any shape. Like this:
Spoiler
 The white circle would the portal gem, while the different shapes are the sockets. As for changing shape from chromatic orb: "One thing most astonishing about these magical sockets is their ability to change shape according to their color. By discoloring the socket and applying a new one, one can see the socket re-shapes itself as if they were living being." edit: support gems can have a hole in the middle to indicated has to be linked, and distinguish from skill gems.

+1 to the ideas in this thread.
Its a big problem for me between the red and the green colors. suggestions: - More bland color for the sockets instead of being overly ornate. - Some text in the sockets ( R , G , B ) - Different shapes for each socket and gem type - I personally like this idea the most. Also - the scrolls that identify and the portal look the same to me. Can they be changed ? maybe a simple swap in the orientation of these two icons. |
