Looking at supported languages, this doesn't work for at least French and Portuguese.	Posted by Nabeshin4 on Sep 1, 2021, 6:59:51 AM Quote this Post

I even tried disabling my gpu colour settings for some time, and even without them it's currently all good for me in PoE. Improvements are nice but don't feel necessary to me. I don't think there's any issue with the mark on top for blue ones as many people are pointing, even if a link is on it, it doesn't matter as long as the other 2 look very different. Maybe it could become an issue with the white socket and full or blue colourblind people (both very rare), I'm not even sure though, white will appear way lighter than every other for them I guess? The only thing really annoying in game at the moment for me is looking at anoints on the passive tree, oils have no name and many of them look very similar. But that's such a niche case I don't really care about it. Oh right! Totally didn't think about the colours of the oil! Hope GGG will put this on the same priority as the socket colours since anointing oils are core to the game.	Posted by biaXamseng on Sep 1, 2021, 7:03:44 AM Quote this Post

Fast edit but maybe something like this would be better	Posted by pontsku2 on Sep 1, 2021, 7:12:04 AM Quote this Post
While this would help, it would be better in my opinion to add a colorblind mode toggle which lets us choose which color we want each slot type to be. This allows for any type of colorblindness to make it work for them.	Posted by acc1dent on Sep 1, 2021, 7:17:06 AM Quote this Post

And I have another idea. When you have gem in cursor then certain symbol will appear on that gem or when you press button for "show sockets", then the certain symbol will appear on all gems.

Wow! Statistically there should be less than 0.02% of the population colorblind, and like 80% of the with chance of fast leaving. AND You are noticing them while the rest 99% of the population is absolutely unhappy, and start to hate the game, and you are ignoring them ?! Interesting ! Absolutely interesting. If You wanna make them happy - just put a color filter on front of DX Renderer, with color switching bit bathing - it's like 100 rows of code dude ! To switch the red to blue, or red to green or etc. DONE ! Childplay. I was silenced for telling the name of USA president for 40 days. I was silenced for stating "I am Jesus" for 5 days. Maybe it is time the deeds of the moderators to become public, so peoples understand that they hired a cheap mods which enforcing their "woke" agenda on players.
