As a colorblind player, quest area indicators are impossible to see.

Do you see the red quest marker here, showing the area you need to visit for the quest?


Because I don't, and the only reason I'm ever able to finish quests in this game is because if you mouse over the area it shows the quest name in a tooltip.

Now try finding a quest via this hide-and-seek message in the Churning Mists. Fun, no?

I've been dealing with this for over two years now, and in ARR it wasn't so bad because the map was fairly small, but with Heavensward it's been growing more and more debilitating to the point where I feel I need to bring attention to it.

Please, Square Enix. Give colorblind players an easier way to find quest markers on the map.

How easily can you see the green ones from levequests?

Fairly easily. The blue and green ones I do not have an issue with, but the red one is close enough to the brown background that it's practically invisible to me.

[...] remember that you can click "map" for the quest and it will open the map where the quest is (what I'm trying to say is: you can "limit" your search a little even in the big HW-areas...)

Normally that's helpful, yes. But it doesn't always work. This particular quest for example ends up showing half of the Churning Mists on the map when I do that, I spent a good 3 minutes trying to find it even using the hint the game gave me.

Would it help if they added an option for it to flash or maybe rotate through different colours?

Yeah, having an ant-trail type effect around the border would work really well, although it would be annoying for regular users I suspect.

I didn't even know they were different colors!

While I can see the circle in the image, I do have trouble discerning some colors from others.

And just to put this out there, yes, women can be colorblind too. A lot of people think it's only men who are affected, but women are too!

I'd love to see them add the option to allow the players to control the colors of things like default enemy AOEs and quest indicators.

While I agree that they should do something about this (it sounds like a minor adjustment, since all they would have to do is to change the color or allow us to change the color by ourselves), remember that you can click "map" for the quest and it will open the map where the quest is (what I'm trying to say is: you can "limit" your search a little even in the big HW-areas...)

No I don't see a red marker I see a orange one though.

[Sandpark]

Place a black or white outline around the orange circles and presto

I've been saying this for a while. We need options for colorblind players!
