Please change mob AOE circles back the way they were

[Vespar]

I find the newer aoe circles difficult to see. Especially if there are a lot of attack animations going off in 24 man content. Please make the old aoe circles a toggle-able option.

I like the new ones better because they fit well into the environment, are less immersion-breaking and also force people to pay more attention than some giant bright-red aoe circle flashing right in everyone's face to the point where you could brain afk and still evade everything.
But I guess a toggle option would be fine so those who absolutely want it back can have it that way...^^°

They are slightly harder to see, and some areas they blend in with the environment. If you dont have other peoples animations turned off in your settings, you will pretty much not be able to see the aoes.

I can see it pretty well even on tall grass areas like Arboretum or water areas like Brayflox. Even better than before.

Look, NOBODY is saying that they have to be returned to the previous incarnation, just that they should have been aware of the effect on a part of the community and should have included the option to retain the old style. The old style was introduced to solve a major problem for those with colour blindness, why remove the fix now?

I swear, some people are so damn self important that they just don't care about others being disadvantaged. It's a terrible reflection on gamers.

That's a little condescending
Some of us can't have them blend into the environment because then they don't exist at all. That's what being colorblind means. Not all of us brain afk, we depended on the system to be able to function in a team environment. We not only want the old ones back, we NEED the old ones back. Otherwise there's no point in even playing this game when you will be hit by every invisible AoE.

While I agree it came off as somewhat condescending, I can't really fault people, it's not exactly something that's overly taught or anything, a lot of my friends, until I explained to them what it was like, thought "Being colorblind means you see in black and white, right?" -_- for me, I have issue seeing things that are similarly colored on top of each other (yellow on orange, orange on read, so on) individually, I can see colors just fine, until you start layering them. I remember on WoW, my fiance wanted to quest in Felwood when I first started playing, and that zone, man, green smog on green water, green trees, green monsters, it was hell lol

tl;dr most people make the condescending remarks about things like this, not out of arrogance, but because they really just don't know any better

I agree with you but there is a time when the issue has been pointed out so many times that ignorance can't be claimed. By now, everyone in this thread should understand exactly why the new telegraphs are a problem & why they shouldn't have been changed at a whim without the ability to retain for those who need them. BTW, I'm not colour blind but it's taught at schools, or at least was in my time, to ensure that you knew if you had it!

[SpiritTamer]

I agree. They are much harder for me to see them now.
