Guild Wars 2

This is the stupidest Fing “fix” possible. The new colors hurt my eyes, and the cyan/green look too similar. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it – it certainly wasn’t broken. Just put it back, for the love of Tyria, just roll the colors back to how they were.

Also, why the hell do you call it GREEN when it is clearly LIME or perhaps FRESH AVOCADO!? THIS IS KITTEN RIDICULOUS ANET!!!!

replace green with yellow

Flashy Pink instead of Red. tyvm

Let the other world take over all the maps and you won’t see those colors.

You guys will seriously complain about anything. If ANET was giving every single person a free mini pet/100gold/new set of armor/charecter slot/$1000.00 USD, you guys would find SOMETHING to complain about.

Can we haz free bag slot upgrade to hold all those plox? ;p

At least an option to change between them. Cause the bright colors are “BURNING” my eyes. I’m a person that do not like bright color dots.

And the reason for the bright color is to help color-blind a bit.

Give players a chose between old, new shouldn’t be that hard.

The changes made to colors where to make it easier for people whom suffer from colorblindness. Please show some respect.

By making all off use colorblind is not the right way to go.

The CMY color model doesn’t get enough love. I say we make the 3 teams Cyan, Yellow, and Magenta. It would be consistent, and probably easier for everyone to differentiate

Well first off, the mini pet is stupid and the armor doesn’t go with any of my character concepts. I suppose I could use the new character to make a concept for the armor… I was expecting a single thousand dollar bill, not a check, that was lame.

New set of armor? YOU MEAN I HAVE TO BUY TRANSMUTATION CRYSTALS?! Such a money grab!!!

How very understanding of you. If you ever lose the ability to walk I sincerely hope that no one installs ramps to help you get up stairways.

Well, the colors changed from blue to cyan, although it may seem a pain to the eyes, if it helps the colorblind players, it’s fine by me. But i honestly find the green and the cyan very similar when scrolling fast on the map, and it might cause some confusion.

If they could at least change the color scheme, to be both helpful for the colorblind and also easily distinguishable from each other. As someone else said, CMY is a possibility or Blue, Dark Red and Yellow.

/cheers

Guildie is colour blind, but red/green. He said this didn`t help & makes it worse.
If a game adds colour blind, it should be an option, not enforced for everyone!

Sounds like the most logical three colors to use.

yep. green -> yellow, perfect on the eyes.
in general “red” = hostile, “green” = friendly, so CMY please!

and on a silly side note:

Well, reading in wikipedia about colorblind problematic colors @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_blindness

I can see that the green its the most problematic of them all…

a Blue, Yellow, Red or (Cyan, Magenta and Yellow which is similar) would be the best for all types of Clorblindness listed there. I am no expert about this subject, but it seems a good combination!

What about Sunrise Cherry? Why not Fall Leaves? ANET IS COLORIST!!!!!!@EQ

Agreed. The new color scheme has at least three problems:

- the neon colors do not fit the artistic style and the color palette of the maps nor the WvW zones. These zones are about death and destruction and the muted, darkish blue, red and green colors exactly expressed this moot. The neon colors do not.

- the new cyan and green colors can be easily mistaken for each other when you look at an objective and the background happens to be dark. I.e. it is now often impossible to tell at a distance whether a sentry is owned by the blue or green server if the background behind the sentry is darkish. Previously you could tell even at a distance whether he belonged to the blue or green side. In that sense the new color scheme is a step backwards in usability.

- because the blue objectives are now indicated on the map with the same color that is used for the commander icon, it is now very easy to miss a commander if he is currently inside an objective or close to a sentry or dolyak. It is another case where the usability of the UI suffers from a poor color choice.

If the goal behind changing the color scheme was to make it easier for color blind people to see who owns what objectives, then make this new color scheme available as an option in the game preferences. But the goal can not be to make the usability of the game worse for the majority of players.
