Hi all,
Loving the beta at the moment but as a colourblind player I often have difficulty in identifying enemies from friendlies as the green and red arrows and names above players are a bit too similar for people with my vision impairment.
Killzone 3, BF3 and i think COD all have a colourblind mode where by the certain hard to identify colours are surrounded by a black outline of some sort more or less.
Im not sure if this was already coming in the next update to the beta but I would love it if it was an option or even the ability to change the colours of the ID markers was added.
Its not completely game breaking for me and others of my ilk but it would definetly stop me spraying my own team when im not sure if its an enemy or friendly.
Keep up the good work CCP! |

Really?!
Sorry for my ignorance as I'm new to the forums and beta but are you in some way connected to CCP?
Im not use to such quick responses for requests on game forums.

Well in one of the posts, a dev said it would be implemented, so you're in luck. I wouldn't mind it either, it makes the game easier to play for me, even though I'm not colorblind, the additional colors are just welcoming after the same ones over and over. |

I feel your pain. I too am colorblind or as another player put it so eloquently, "colorblunt."
I am not so crazy about a black outline around the enemy; I feel that it would diminish my game immersion, but I would support simply changing the tiny downward pointing arrow to a downward pointed filled triangle.
Regardless, someone mentioned that CCP will be introducing something different. Are there any details? |

+1 to this. I'm red-green colourblind and have been struggling a little with the current colours in the Dust beta. Hoping to see more details on colourblind support soon. I've been playing a lot of BF3 on PS3 where colourblind support has only just been added in a recent patch - for something as simple as colours in the HUD it seems ridiculous for ~8% of the playerbase to have been disadvantaged for that long. |

Yes this is a must. I played with a buddy this evening who is colorblind. He will not have an easy time without a colorblind mode. |

yup, devs adressed this issue

We'll be making steps towards making DUST 514 more colorblind friendly. In the short term you can expect Red/Green indicators to shift to Red/Blue. This should be in the next beta build update.
In the long term you can expect different icons to distinguish between friendlies and hostiles, this may or may not make it into the next update, but it is being worked on.
