    Shiva and Colors - Please Adjust

    So, I am color impaired. I cannot differ from some colors that look similar.

    I am not alone. I've heard from many who have problems seeing the circles in the Shiva fight, even people that are NOT color impaired.

    For me it is so bad that I almost cannot see them at all, making it nearly impossible for me to know what to do, or where to go. I usually ask a player to mark him/herself so I can follow, which has worked a few times. - However, nobody should have to do this, so... either change the color of the arena, or change the color of the circles.

    I have trouble in that fight as well, though I've only done hm Shiva so I dunno how it is on EX but it was next to impossible for me to see some of the circles, too. I have trouble seeing colors that are close to each other when they're on top of each other (the ice+circles for example, or orange on red, etc) I can slightly if I really strain myself, but then I end up with a migraine.

    I also have difficulty with this. I lost some of my ability to distinguish hues of the same color and the only part of the circle aoes I see are a faint shadow of the outer rim that appears blue. It would be a huge help if the aoes themselves had a solid color of blue so I could actually see them instead of having someone call out in voice chat every time to let me know I'm running in the right direction.

    You might try increasing the digital vibrance intensity in the graphics card control panel, to deepen the differences between the shades.

    many color blind people adjust this.

    you could try to zoom out at max and see the ice shards in the sky. Not a fix but could help a bit ;(

    Isnt there a visual warning system? I know ive seen it while perusing various ingame options, but i don't know how that works in practice.
