Since this is really the only game that I’ve played where the developers care about the feedback of the customers I would like to suggest a few things that I would love to see implemented in the upcoming patches.
Colorblind mode. I have such a hard time telling the difference between epic and rare especially. If no colorblind mode then I was thinking of something like some sort of mark to let colorblind people know what item is what quickly. (Something like stripes, or stars in the picture box when the inventory is open.)
Countdown timer. Since I know this will not be an “online game” (and I’m super fine with that) what about a countdown after you exit the pause menu or inventory menu. A real quick: 3,2,1 then the action resumes would be helpful. I can’t tell you how many times I check out a new legendary item in my bag only to return back to the game and get insta killed.
Thank you for taking the time to read my suggestions.

Hey MuffinTop, thanks for your suggestions!
I’m actually not too experienced with developing with Colorblindness in mind, so I’m definitely curious what more we could do to help.
With viewing the inventory, symbology is tough since it would need to be a small icon with enough variation to show the difference between all our 5 rarities ( soon to be 7 ), but I’m sure it could be done.
Is there any sort of color progression that works better?
Also, are there any other parts that are difficult? I’m sure loot on the ground would be another area that’s tough.
It gives a lot of information, however toward the end of the blog it has the color transformation (daltonization! Learning is awesome!) to make it so color blind people can differentiate the colors. The blog also has website links that you can upload an image and it will return what it looks like after being daltonized.

I’m colorblind as well, mainly yellow/green and blue/purple are my bad areas. But the bigger a variance you can put on the RGB scale, the easier it is for us to see the difference.
So…
R 200… R 175
G 175… G 200
B 000… B 000
Is a LOT harder for us to distinguish than say
R 225… R 150
G 150… G 225
B 000… B 000
Basically keep your saturations of RGB each as separately from each other as possible.
Okay, so I put a little time into this. It’s a bit hard cause I’m not quite sure if my photoshop CUD simulators are accurate, so perhaps you guys might be able to help with getting the colors better.
Here’s a chart I made with our original colors, and my attempt at making two color blind friendly modes.
[quote=“shutnic”]Mh… Even for me, as a person being non-colorblind, its hard to distinguish epic and legendary.
And btw mythic looks like magic?[/quote]
That’s weird, this “mythic” color isn’t really the same than I saw … it’s supposed to be lighter than this dark violet!
I really like the new colors for the colorblind mode. Everything is extremely easy to differentiate. I really appreciate your time and attention to my suggestion.
Something else I was thinking of that goes hand-in-hand with this is the map color on ice maps is almost impossible for me to see. How about an option to change the color of the map- or am I getting greedy now?

It’s been a while mate… I have a good news… found this one…
It compliments with my ‘trickster’ set of my Rogue because of the deception talent… hopefully I could fine one for my Warrior class and it’s better if the talent is assault…hehehe…
