Green on green is difficult to see for some of us [Merged]

[Hesione.9412]

Seitung Province, which is as far I as have gone in the expansion is a beautiful green expanse. Unfortunately, the HP map markers, and the story markers (when completing for the first time) and area circles, are also green.

 

Is it possible to have more contrast in those markers, e.g. a relatively thick black outline. Or an option to turn them a different colour? 

[Gregg.3970]

yea agree, the HP's aren't that bad to see, but as far the story-line green star thing, and when you get the little green circles denoting which area to go on the map to proceed with your story-line, I find this really difficult to see and I'm not even colour-blind, well at least I don't think so until now ?!?

green + white combo tends to blend green.

While this doesn't affect me, I think it would be nice to see added for the players where this is an issue

The green quest objectives, green map markers (e.g. X is 800m above), green circles is really really hard to make out on a mostly green map.  Esp when playing at 4k.

It's driving me nuts!   I have to sit for a few minutes and put my personal way point marker down (which is grey/silver and seems to only stand out slightly better).

 

Can we change the objective colors for this storyline in one of the upcoming patches?   Surely this was noticed in internal testing.

Same here… finding HPs and story has been a nightmare for me, due to my sight issues, please ANet help!

[Witch of Doom.5739]

Same here.  I get that we're in a "Jade" map but not everything has to be green.  Very hard to see certain things.

Agree. I had a lot of trouble finding the story marker on the map but I find if you zoom the map all the way out the marker is bigger and much easier to see.

I couldn't find the skiff vendor circle for awhile, I have contrast sensitivity issues so this expansion is kind of blinding me in some aspects lol

Loving EoD's story, but it's almost impossible to see the green swirly update icon on these green maps. I feel like a yellow or orange icon would help immensely. 

[Zebulous.2934]

from what I have seen color selection is also needed for combat circles as well.  at the very least blue and yellow.  Dark-brown may be a viable color choice.

As an aside, in elderscrolls, I had a triggered ability that made a red field around my character and I was constantly dodging away from myself, until I turned all of the enemy circles bright pink.  That game gives you a whole color map with saturation sliders to customize good circles and/or bad circles.

 

Has someone made an overlay mod that would let me change the color of indicator rings as well as ally and enemy generated field indicators?

added the word indicators, I don't want the actual particle effects of a field to change color

I was saying this the other day..I cant see the dang markers for the story they get lost in the green.
