Post-patch AOE indicators are too distracting

[Bayohne]

Thanks for the feedback regarding the 'pulse' timing on the new indicators.
We've passed along the suggestion of timing the pulse to match with the action being readied to the effects team. They're currently looking into whether or not it's possible to implement!

I think subtle pulses (for readability), underlying a thicker pulse that indicated cast-time would be perfect.

And the option to perhaps change its color or opacity.

Please pass that along as well! TY!

I like the new AoE indicator. The old one wasn't hard to see per se, but could be easy to miss in some environments or situations.
As for having them sync up, I don't think that's a big deal at all. I'm not going to try and time it just right, I'm going to get the heck out of there.

Honestly, I am not sure I like the color of them. I don't mind them but it seems a little weird sometimes.

im thankful they changed the colour. being colour blind it was hard to see on a normal day let alone being on a red or dark floor, or when covered with scholar or bard aoes. thank you getting rid of the nasty "big red"

stuff.

Its just supposed to be a visual hint, for all the rest you got castbars.

I mean I agree with the pulse not in sync with the cast which is pretty distracting, in that case just move your castbar on your HUD and you re done pretty much.

If multiple things get on screen at the same time that would be displayed by that new aoe thing, just remember where the first one drop !

So lemme get this straight, people are complaining about a change that helps color blind people, which actually should have been something similar to begin with and on top of that complain about " its throwing off my timing with the pulsing". I'm sorry but that's your own fault for poor dodging. If you were used to dodging a solid red spot and now can't dodge a solid orange one with a flicker through it your just making excuses.

People are complaining that the change was forced on us and not made a option like it is in most other games.

I think a better option than making everything color-blind friendly (which Garuda still isn't green-wise)...

...just implement a "color-blind mode" please, but readability for everything else non-color specific is always a plus.

Okay, you're running it in the worst condition possible, in the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT (Eorzea time).

Green = Solid Line... Red = Dotted/Dashed Line... How much more color-blind friendly can you get with that?

While I am not personally color-blind, I've heard from friends who are that the issue is how the green blends with the grass underneath making it nigh-impossible to distinguish for them.
