Guild Wars 2

To begin, I am red-green color blind. For people unfamiliar with color blindness, it doesn’t mean that I can’t see those colors. Rather, I see those colors in a different way. As such, certain color combinations can be difficult for me to distinguish.

For the Liadri fight, or rather, for any fight in the gauntlet and in many other areas in the game, red circles for me are impossible to see. To be honest, I didn’t even know there were red circles for the Liadri fight until I looked up a guide on it. As it stands currently, this issue makes the Liadri fight nearly impossible for me to do.

I am rather disappointed that Guild Wars 2 has been released this long and there still has not been any color blind mode implemented. It is said that around 10% of people are color blind. That is quite a high number players for a game this large to ignore.

I would like to hear from Anet. Are there plans to implement a color blind mode or do you plan to continue leaving a large portion of your community in the dark?

Yes, the floor texture and colour choice is very poor, it makes seeing the circles incredibly hard. I dont think Im colour blind but when im in the arena I have to seriously squint to distinguish any kind of circle, this gets even worse when I go into DS, seeing brown on brown is next to impossible.

This needs a fix also they shouldnt insta down you, maybe like 5k off your hp. Punishing players because they cant see the circles is just awful on anets part.

Yes, Liadri seems to be difficult even for people who can see the circles. However, at the moment, I am worried less about the difficulty of Liadri than I am of the issue of no color blind support.

In any case, hopefully Anet is working on some sort of color blind mode.

i also have the same color blindness as u have and yeah it really sucks with some aspects of the game but ohwel hope anet will support a color blind assist in the near future idc if its only for the AoE rings it will be a great improvement overall

I’m the same way, and didn’t even realize there was any aoe circles until i was discussing the fight with a friend. I really don’t want to miss out on 40 achievement points.
