Need color blind mode for better gaming experience

Hello! I am really happy to be a part of Laima for the time being and I have only one important feature to suggest: color blind mode. I know testers who are having a really hard time to finish quests because the flags have confusing colors (for them!) like light blue and gray. Maybe you should give a little attention to these players? I know DOTA have a special mode with different colors for these people so I know it is possible to change settings. Thanks!

This was brought up during the last beta, and seemed to have enough support that I think the developers should look into it at some point:

Color blind mode? This feature is absolutely 100% mandatory, please

Hi, so Korean beta tester here. I’ve looked everywhere for information on this, I’ve messed with my settings, but I’ve run into a dead end.

A good friend of mine is interested in playing this game, but he’s color blind. After watching PVP, he says he was unable to see the difference in the teams. The orange names under the enemy team do not appear to him. Everything is the same color name wise, so it’s a major problem when it comes to him playing the game for PVP. The enemy team appeared to be allies on Steparu’s team…

Image example of what I’m referring to if you haven’t seen footage of PVP.

So I was wondering if there’s future plans for color blind modes? He says he can’t PVP at all at its current state =(

Colorblind suggestions:

Red v.s. Blue Names

Option to change HP bar colors.

If we had those options, it would be really really helpful.

Thanks for reading!

Very informative information by gelsamel:

For those interested here is what it looks like for

Deuteranopes:http://i.imgur.com/rIHeEdP.png.

Protanopes:http://i.imgur.com/BfB9zQ0.jpg.

Tritanopes:http://i.imgur.com/XUmIjZl.jpg.

Deuteranopia and Protanopia are the most common forms of colorblindness they are also pretty similar because their confusion point on the CIE color is similar. Tritanopia is very very rare, but there still might be players who suffer from it which would benefit from being able to set custom colors for themselves.
