Feedback on Colourblind Support for Gem Sockets

make an enable option in the settings

Uhh so people are supposed to look up what the notches do before they start the game or what?:D
Wouldn’t it be easier to include colorblind filters like.. every other game does?:D
I see you want to come up with an elegant solution again but sometimes the easier route is the best..

Red/green colour blind here.

It's better for sure, but it's also hard to tell if it's enough for all situations. The top right slot of the chest armour is also pretty messy with two links, a red notch in the bottom left and a "messy" background to the slot itself.

Personally I find it the hardest to distinguish between red and green slots when you are rolling items that has red/green-ish art, and especially when you don't have enough stats to equip the item (which makes the background red).

It would be nice if we could have like a few videos or gifs that showcased a normal recolouring (not super fast or slow) session for like 10 seconds. Either way, I love that this is being looked into and remember that even if you don't find the perfect solution the first time around it's still an improvement!

yes your on the right path if your solution is different shape ,

bravo

I agree with many of the comments. Just modify the shape of the sockets based on color. The way many of the item artworks are make it very hard to even see if an item is even linked, let alone if it is colored properly.

Shaped slots ftw, with white being a combination of all 3 so logically any of the shaped gems would fit into a white slot :) simple

Make it optional.

If you force this on 90%++ of the playerbase because of color-blind people then that's wrong.

Good direction, but I think different shapes is way better solution.

like posted before: why not add optional colorblind mode for sockets toggable in the options? that should be easy enough to implement and is much clearer than the notch thing. Personally i dislike different shapes.
the trend of not thought out ideas continues. getting more and more concerned that there are some (not yet solvable) internal dev team issues.

It's great finally seeing some more accessibility options in PoE. Hope this is a sign of more to come.
