Colour Blindness - Page 2

Not sure on the colour issue, however I would point out that all 3 empires are visibly different in shape/outline and design across the armour and vehicles.

I hope this will offset part of the difficulties.

I must've missed that announcement; was it in the TB dual commentary or another source? For me that's alleviate probably 90% of potential issues.

As for player identification, that's probably something that's a play it and see jobbie.

Except when they are not, see Galaxy, Liberator, Sunderer, Lightning and Flash

Hud color is something they should worry about making colorblind-friendly.

The in game textures and art assets, on the other hand just seem like far too much work. Besides that fact that friendlies are nearly always tagged in some manner...and that's really what matters, right? You want to shoot everyone else.

You can exclude flash since there will be someone on it. There will be faction logos also:

although they might not be visible right away.

As for the rest buy yourselves a monitor for color-blind if that's such an issue. It's smarter investment than to bother the devs since you can use it for any game and most don't have adjustments for CB.

No color swapping on game objects since that would only help those who are partially CB and yet would lead to exploiting.

I'm not saying ingame textures should be adjustable.
But why not the overhead names? That's just text

That's part of the HUD. I already said it should be possible since HUD will be customizable as we seen in couple of game video that you can have different HUD layouts; no reason to restrict HUD color then.

edit: here - http://www.planetside-universe.com/s...ad.php?t=42175 HUD will be customizable as you can see, I also thought I read or heard in some interview that you could fully adjust it to your liking.
