Colorblind Setting

behr228

As someone who is colorblind, buffs and debuffs become really tricky for me. Is there a way to institute a colorblind setting that could change to a blue and red or some configuration like that? It is still playable like this for me but it does take extra couple of seconds every turn to figure out what is what so I know what Im about to do. It also gets incredibly confusing for me when someone dispels and grants buffs like chirrut. Thank you again and keep up the good work on the game.

+1 I've got a good friend that is colorblind and I bet this would be annoying for him.

This is a great idea.. (Please do not do a +1 though, it's bumping posts and that is against Forum Guidelines.)

I have escalated this, thanks for the Heads up!

This problem is already solved at the OS level.

i can see how that could be incredibly annoying. i hope they can address this and come up with some kind of adjustment for you.

Many games have setting to adjust for colorblind sight. I think ea should be able to add this.

The operating systems can already do this.

@Joseph2025_777 @Baal I undestand that but it is a bit overkill to do that for a single game; no other app on my phone has this problem for me. As such, I'd prefer and hence recommended an in game solution. Cheers mates!

If you're colorblind, you're colorblind whenever you use your phone.

There are multiple types of colorblindness which are addressed by the operating systems, asking a developer to ignore that and waste resources to reinvent the wheel, multiple times over to accomodate the different types because you don't want to go into settings is kind of ridiculous and more than a little bit selfish when they could be working on things that can have a greater impact for more people including accomodations for those who don't already have a solution available.

There are also glasses that help even when you're not on your phone.

My Dad was colorblind, not unsympathetic. But come on.

On iOS, I enable/disable the color filters by triple tapping on the home button. On when I need it, off when I don't. This is much better than each app having its own solution.
