evilsofa.7296 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 The light green text that is often used in GW2 contrasts poorly with any background color that isn't relatively dark. I find it hard to read the names of non-agressive NPCs, both above their heads and above their health bars. I can understand that the name over their heads might not look right with a black box around it, but couldn't we at least have a black box behind the name above their health bar?The red text of aggressive NPCs and PCs is not quite as bad as light green, but it's still bad. I honestly usually don't know the name of whatever it is I'm killing.Taimi's radio communications text is light green on white in the in-game text bubbles. This is unreadable contrast. Never do this again, just use black text. At least her text goes to the chat window so I can read it there.These issues are exacerbated in areas where the environment tends to be lighter in shade, for example most of PoF.

Steve The Cynic.3217 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 To add to this: the one I find hard to read is the red "time-remaining" information in Verdant Brink that shows how long until daybreak or until nightfall. It becomes a sort of red blob on my display unless I squint hard at it. (This might be related to its small size on my 4K screen - maybe I need to turn up the UI scaling.)

Leablo.2651 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I haven't had any issues with text color contrast. I think your problem runs a little deeper, such as improper video settings, a faulty monitor, or undiagnosed color blindness. In the last case, nvidia drivers apparently include color blind settings. I'm not certain about other drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nokomis.5076 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Maybe you can post a screenshot of the noted text, then we could check, if others in the forum also have problems reading it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
