Post-patch AOE indicators are too distracting

[ColorOfSakura]

The color change of the AoE indicators was performed to address visibility for players with color blindness. However, we understand that this change has made it difficult to see the indicators in some instances, which is not desirable.

Has a change been made to the AoE indicators in the Stone Vigil fight with Isgebind? As a colorblind player, I had enormous amounts of trouble due to there being blue indicators set on against white snow. I know it was probably a flavor decision, but it blends in very easily with the floor and makes it incredibly difficult to see if I'm in the zone or not.

I dont know i found the new indicators to be quite nice, a post like this just goes to show that you can't please everyone =/

I'm not colorblind and I have trouble with them too, so I can only imagine. Maybe there could be some other cue for these special ones, like particle effects that rise from the ground or something.

While it would be difficult to make it so you can customize the color, we will be looking into whether we can make it possible to select from various templates and toggle the wave effect on and off so that everyone can play how they would like to.

Damn, it's like you guys want me to keep playing! Seriously, this level of attention to the playerbase is not only downright impressive when I'm used to being ignored as often as I am with others, but useful. Thank you guys, I've seen a LOT of improvement based on player response/suggestion.

This should happen. Try killing Drakes in Sagoli Desert. Color blends in with sand......

[BlackPriest]

why not just add the option to change the color to whatever we want? A slider or a color palette?

Speaking of the wave animation in the monster skill indicators its dumb. it should be a cast bar that fills up.

Can you guys sync up the "Wave" effect with the casting bar of the ability that's being used? That would be awesome.

Or beeing near the beginning of the wave doing more damage than being at the end...
Or as CT Boss, not beginning of the wave and ending of the wave beeing casted at same time...

Why people always find something or critique every single thing that SE add to the game? wow.

Ffxiv have so many custom options to choose and you want more? i'm starting to hate this community, there is someone that always have to type something negative about a good feature or any irrelevant thing. The aoe indicator is supposed to be very distracting. SE should ignore this topic.

I could say the same of everytime people voice their opinions or concerns, there's somebody who rages and says "I HATE EVERYBODY IN THIS COMMUNITY!" like yourself. What a simple and petty reason to "hate" people. I imagine that isn't very healthy for the community either. Heaven forbid people voice that they preferred the way SE had it before, or have trouble seeing yellow indicators on sand.
