+1 for helping people.
Can I ask: in what way does having impaired hearing differentiate being able to just turn up the volume? |

Funny you should mention black and white because when I first got into closed beta all I had in my new home was a 10GÇ¥ CRT TV and the format was not supported or something so everything was in black and white (also very fuzzy) so it was impossible to play. Good job there was nobody on the servers lol. Any time I encountered a play I would shoot and just see if they were friendly or enemy.
For larger engagements of even five or six, it became impossible to discern who was who, despite having been able to distinguish the dark grey from the slightly darker grey after getting used to it. |

Adding some sort of spotter functionality like in Battlefield would be good, tagging the enemy vehicle for a short while so it appears as an icon on the HUD. I think different icons would be perfect, even just have two chevrons for squaddies, one chevron for blueberries, and say, a square for raspberries. |

v4victory wrote:very good ideas just hope ccp adds these features in the game not holding my breath cause it dont seem like they honstly care about this or many of the other aspects of the game that need dramatic attention but i will continue to try to keep this thread going and not give up even though i have already left the game im now taking time out of my day to push for these features as nobody should be left out of a game just cause they have normal vision or hearing or even all there limbs as a gamer i cant stand for companys who leave these people out f games as everyone has the rights to enjoy the games just like the rest of us do
In fairness, dismissing a company because they don't cater for minorities is a little harsh. They first have to cater to the majority as they are largest in number and thus largest in wallet. it is unfortunate but I think with the minimal work required to cater to minorities in even the smallest capacity, more companies will be adding in support for minority players. |
