Post-patch AOE indicators are too distracting

[matic]

As always, Camate bringing nothing but good news. Could you at least post something negative so we know you are human? Maybe something in your lunch wasn't fully warmed up and gave you the burps? No human can EVER possibly bring as much good news as this behemoth does.

uh. its his job to put a positive spin on everything humanly possible.

Greetings!



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.

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.

Can you have a please suggest to the devs to make a template that is the original red color, I just find the yellowish/orange color really hard to see, especially on garuda and in coil. I much prefer the old aoe red ground markers.

Thank you mister behemoth! I'm slowly getting used to the new indicators and I'm glad they are easier to see for most people, but in some areas they are less visible and it would be nice to have the option to change them :3

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'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.

It's awful. The fight against Isgebind is the main reason I avoid Low Level Duty Roulette currently. My first run through, our party wiped like four times because of me, before I finally started sticking close to one of the other DPS's and moving with them when they moved.

And there are like...small beams of blue light that come off the blue AoE effect, but it's still difficult to notice. I'm hoping that they make it so that the effect color can be changed. The standard AoE zone colors are much improved for colorblind players, but that one set in the Isgebind fight is just horrible for me to manage.

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.

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...
