Can any dev please mention if something is being done to help with this?

I am Red/Green Colorblind, and I know I simply hate certain fights that one absolutely positively see the imaginary RED circles on the GREEN ground. Sure, I can pick them out, if I concentrate on nothing else but watch until a slightly lighter or darker shade of “green or red” arcing line appears on the ground and PRAY I notice it and determine the rough area the circle covers while I still have time to dodge/move out of it.

It has been brought up repeatedly in the Suggestion forums, but I do not think I’ve ever seen a Dev comment on this.

Its bad enough when I’m stuck trying to figure out what a person is referring to, when they describe it by color in real life. Or what color clothing I am wearing to begin with.

I do not need to end up putting my nose nearly up against the monitor, and strain my eyes to catch something nigh invisible in the Cliffside Boss Fights that others sees with easy to avoid the Agony, while just spamming the one key to “contribute” to the fight. Its bad enough when doing that, I’ll dodge right into another one, as I never saw the other blasted AoE Circle in the direction I dodged, because it TOO was an imaginary Red Circle on the green ground and wasn’t straining my eyes adjacent to the ground adjacent to me, as I was too busy doing so at my character’s own feet.

I’m not colourblind, but I will bump. I definitely think that there should be some kind of option to alter the colours of effect circles or at least make them larger/more noticeable for those with vision impairments.

Bump, theres quite a number of threads for this already since launch.
I appreciate the change in WvW colors, but I still have trouble distinguishing between friendly and non-friendly aoe circles. Can we change the non-friendly aoe circles to blue?
