Combat color issue

Post by AryaStark »

I have played for several worlds, but always as a peaceful hermit. I'm trying to learn the current combat system, but am having a really hard time due to everything being color coded.
I am very color blind.
Is there a custom client or setting that can change the colors to be less similar?
or do I have to just memorize all the moves and their catagories?

Every move (and opening indicators on clients that don't completely replace them with flat colored squares with number on center) has markings in corners that indicate it's color type.

top right= yellow
bottom right = blue
bottom left = red
top left = green

there ought to be color blind support. memorizing the corner markings isn't an entirely fair alternative and less intuitive

Agreed, giving people cheat sheet to memorize isn't a real solution to "I can't decipher these indicators in the expected manner" -accessibility issue.

Nevertheless, glad to hear that OP found my rushed paint-job useful.
