Guild Wars 2

Will such a feature be added with HoT?

It would be pretty hard to do such a thing in this game without overhauling many aspects of the game. Right now take for example how attack circles are marked by Red for enemy/danger ones and grey for ally/good ones. All attacks look similar and it is only this color distinction that shows the difference for allies or enemies.

And further color distinction is being put into HoT with how the Wyvern’s incoming attack is shown by the belly turning a fiery red, followed up by the neck and then head before the attack.

@ Siphaed:

You don’t need an overhaul to add accessibility. You just have to toggle options. Like how you can toggle various effects as well as various indicators in the inventory window.

The Wyvern is the worst example ever. You don’t know what you’re talking about. The Wyverns neck transforming and glowing has nothing to do with color blindness. You don’t need to know what color the Wyvern’s neck is to see that it’s glowing. And the Wyvern will surely have a visible animation like all big bosses even if the glowing isn’t obvious.

Anyway. There are other threads and plenty of people would like to see this implemented. They’ll just have to figure out the best way to make the game accessible.

Please don’t come in and immediately dismiss the request of someone with a visual disability. We are all people just like you.

To be fair just adding a toggle options won’t really do anything without an overhaul. The toggles are of course quite easy, but they would still need to add all those things that could be toggled on and such.

So while it is far from as easy as you make it sounds.

There was some recent staff activity acknowledging it’s an issue. Hopefully something will come of it for the ~10% of men affected.
