Chat colors & Migraines/Palinopsia

[Promethos]

nice that Alpaca id following the process.

2 options:
A: Tell us you dont see anything happening
B: Tell us what you do see.

You're pretending something is happening, but you're not able to say what that actually is. That's not a stong point you're making.

How much longer will this discussion take Alpaca? It doesn't even need testing, just a change implemented.

Hi all,

This matter is in the pipeline but I cannot give an exact ETA on it as other matters have a higher priority. The matter does, in fact, require testing as well (especially as it is one that affects people on a personal health basis). This is the information on the matter, and I will not restate things I have written before multiple times in this thread.

Once we've reached a conclusion on how to handle the whisper issue, it will be announced in the corresponding changelog when it comes to fruition.

Best,
BB_Alpaca

OK Guys, Any news onm what the developers will do ?

I'm having a eye infection, and just because of that I having major problems even reading some things.
Global 1 is ok, but guildchat and whisper and near to impossible for me to read at the moment.

I don;t want to be blunt, but I can't use my PC at the moment.

I have an Ipad connected with teamviewer to enlarge the chat section on my PC so I can read it!
If that doesn't make things clear there is something wrong with it, I don't know.

Just wanted to ventilate my discomfort here, no offence intended, but it';s been frustrating not being able to play/chat because of this.

Change colour for whisper chat please. It's very difficult to read. Light blue if you are taking suggestions.

This would make my life a whole lot easier, I have deteriorating eyesight and the pink whisper is sometimes problematic.

no offence intended, but you are right.

I'm sorry to confess, but I didn't have any troubles, until I was struck by the eye infection.
Some things are taken for granted, and eye sight is certainly one of them.

I never have thought about this until I was suddenly surprised with the inability to read it,
because of the low contrast (difference between the text and background).

I have send a ticket to support, and they have forwarded it to the department where it should go.
So I hope I get some answers, and I hope my suggestion is considered.

BTW my suggestion was the ability to change the text color by the user, so you can have you own chat color scheme.
this will make it possible to set your own color/contrast setting for the chat.

I hope it wil..



Love,
Amy.

Different chat colours I think is a must as stated by those having problems and a very easy thing to implement.

Should have different styles players can choose

You could call them

1. Easy on the eyes
2. Standard
3. Trippy

Lots of games have a "colourblind" option, which would improve the visual display for most people with eyesight issues. Perhaps something like this would be a good idea?

[BB_Ravel]

Am very happy to let you all know that a new feature can be found right now on the test server: A button has been implemented that turns the chat colour to white.
Yay!

Excellent, will be checking it out shortly

Have checked it, and no longer hurts my eyes reading whispers.
