I didn't make this post to poo on Anet. I don't know the developer code behind the scenes or how the UX was designed. Those of us with accessibility needs are more than aware that we're a minority and the world can't cater to us and we've spent years learning how to navigate and adjust. I thought I missed a setting and my information overloaded brain of a brand new game made me miss something crucial or maybe that there was an addon for it (like prat in wow). If and when Anet can implement different telegraph colours or chat colours that's awesome! If not , that's okay, too, I can always adjust my monitor as I have before with other game.

There are several forms of colour blind so there's no one fix for all. This is why so many MMOs have colour options for people because no one's built the same. Tritanopia and Tritanomaly - S-Cone (blues) both are on the same spectrum of blue-green blind but are affected differently Deuteranopia and Deuteranomaly - M-Cone (greens) where green and red present as problems on their spectrum Protanopia and Protanomaly: - L-Cone (reds) where blue and green, red and green present problems There is never a time where a company can account for these six problems within the human body and that is why I asked if there were settings for our personal use. Since there isn't and this won't be a feature a moderator can safely close the thread. Thank you Edit: Okay the smilies on these posts are a bit creepy.

How diverse and inclusive is the guild? What are your social policies?

Where are the options? I checked the user interface and the chat settings to change the colours, but there isn't anything I can tell. In ESO you can change indicators, chat text, names above the head, etc, so that colour blind people aren't missing importing visual queues. So for me I can do "green" for good and then "white" for bad. Which could seem strange to someone who has a normal visual spectrum but not everyone has that. I was hoping to find a setting to check for it but I see there is none. And I'm not going to poo all over Arena.net. The game is wonderful in so many ways and if they don't have an accessibility crew or anyone who has colour blindness then I'll have to adjust as I already do in life for everything else that doesn't care if you're colour blind, or left handed, or short.

If I figure out anything I'll be sure to post. If they have chat based on server side instead of client side (the way other MMO's are) it might be impossible. Arena.net is pretty good about being anti-cheat and anti-scam so it might be they have to have a harder lock down on those aspects. Hopefully someone on their team can offer options. Really enjoying the game other than standing in the bad stuff since I literally can't see it (Dear Arena net: red is bad okay? But red is dead when you can't even see it with green or blue around!)

I haven't played the game in a few years and I'm happy to be back. Sadly I'm unable to change the chat colour settings, is there a work around or addon for this? I have a colour blind issue and I'd like to be able to change the text colours to make it easier to read. I also need to point out that some of the in-game letters are in red? Please consider another colour option for us that have issues with reds. Thank you so much 🙂
