Anet Should Help The Color Blind!

I'm blessed to have a pair of somewhat healthy eye balls, hence I'm not suffering from any color blind issues, but Guild Wars is a great game that should be enjoyed by everyone, hence

/signed for more personal color customization of the user interface

I saw the title expecitng a character suggestion for folks in wheelchairs.. haha. But seriously, I would support such a change not only because it would help colour blind folks, but I can think of of some better colours for use with health bar effects, minimap dots, etc..

never even thought about this!

Signed...just because it could bring about selectable colors and I could get the black healthbar Ive always wanted.

/signed.

What the deuce? Yellow and green names? I'm staring at it right now and I can't tell the difference to save my life.

/signed

maby if diffrent color might not work (some people are completly color blinded) how about diffrent shapes? like down triangle for poison/bleeding, circle for blindness etc

/signed

now do something to even it up for the deaf.....

/signed

color "flashes" on screen or vibrating mouse?

I suggest in-game featured text macros but it's a different topic

Maybe you can play WoH monk instead? I'm sure if people ask you to reroll to prot monk and you explain the situation that they won't make you play prot

Anyway I guess I can sign it too so /signed

/signed. I'm all for customisation or the interface, and ANet should be able to fix such small things for colorblind people. A friend of mine is colorblind, and plays GW as well.

/signed

customization = good
/signed

/signed, for the idea that GW should be playable for as broad a range of people as possible (and having more customization options is always nice). I ask myself, though, how far A-Net's responisibility for the handicapped would reach. What's next, GW for the blind? GW for the deaf? I mean, it would be seriously awesome if they could pull that off, but you can hardly tell them off for not having those options.

Oh, and as far as I know my eyes are fine, but I can never tell Ranger and Necro bosses apart either... they are just a slightly different shade of green. I always have to check what they cast to tell, unless I would find one next to the other in the same place for comparison.

/signed

Best of luck with this

Can someone add a screenshot demonstrating this?

Red/Green color "deficient" here.

Yellow/Green names all the same to me. It is nice that they use different shapes on the minimap for friendly NPC's.

/signed

.. huh.

I came to this thread looking for a fight.

And walk away thinking, hey, this guy has a nice idea.

/signed

There are subtitles.
