If they change it to purple, won't this make problems for people with color blindness in the pink-bieber spectrum?


There's not really all that many varieties of colorblindness going around. It's either total color blindness (very rare), red-green or blue-yellow blindness. Since this particular issue is only with red-green and full color blindness, one or two settings would cover everything.

Making this game more friendly for colorblind people should be a high priority for Blizzard, in my opinion. Some of the comments that are on the first page (including some by old friends of mine) are just plain retarded in my opinion: If you have a hearing problem, you can change the settings so the high priority sounds are what you hear the most, or raise the volume in general so you can hear it better. If you are blind, well there's no reasonable solution (make the game in brail?) that would help people with that disability out. But if you are colorblind, there is an easy and practical solution that simply has not been implemented by Blizzard yet, even though Stronger Team Colors alleviates this need a bit.

Best solution is mark with beacon, where nuke is. And stay with current red dot

i have no problems with the red nuke dots, basicly because i've given up on looking for them. can't see it anyway i just pull my workers at random from a mining base and hope it's the correct one (whoops army gone, but hey, workers are safe lol)

however what's waaaaay more annoying is the base placement, that takes atleast 3 to 5 tries every time. some sort of option for a color scheme change would be really nice, but then it's blizzard... it'll get implemented "soon" (read: never).

Color blind people cant, in that they completely cant. Its not difficult its IMPOSIBLE, i even have to take the word of the website that there even is a number.

Given no disadvatage at all to non color blind people why would you opose this at all.

This is a stupid problem to have in a video game. Roughly 10% of men are red-green color blind - Blizzard should simply change the color so it's fair to everybody. Those who aren't color blind have absolutely no problem spotting a red dot, so it might as well be a color that's just as easy for men who are color blind to see.

The number in the image is 6.

Fun aside, is there not a colorblind mode available? I know that World of Warcraft has it available and was under the assumption, being as I'm not colorblind I haven't actually checked. Though if there really isn't there needs to be, seems kind of silly when almost every other game on the market has the option, that any company would ignore it. Might be a good idea to start a thread about it and try and escalte Blizzard's need to implement it (and by create a thread I mean on the official site).

Edit: Clarity and typos.

Ill say it again: there should be an option to change red/green to some other colours

Reading this thread, with the insane amount of retarded posts and baiting, makes me think that TL was not significantly better pre SC2 as some of the olde timers make it out to be. I'm surprised none of those trolls were banned.

I feel bad for Jinro aka frozenarbiter and orb. They really tried to reason with all those dummies.

Yeah, there's no reason this shouldn't be an option. Pretty low on Blizzard's priority list though, I imagine. Especially since the red nuke dot appearance is so iconic to Starcraft.

Considering how MW3 has a option for color-blindness like turning Green into Blue and Red as Orange
I think there should also be a option for SC2 as well.

I don't see how having an option to change nuke dot colour is a bad thing. Now it was brought up in the first page in the thread, the some colours will get lost on some tilesets, but I suppose you could get around that by allowing the dot to change colours? Or would that make it too obvious where the dot is?

I hate being color blind, and the stronger color mod helps, but the nuke dots are still impossible to see. It gets really frustrating, as if its not frustrating enough in school not being able to do an entire chapter of chemistry due to it revolving around colors of elements and stuff like that...

Cheers

Although I cant see shit worth of numbers in that picture, ive never had problems on spotting nuke dots on green maps

I guess there are varying degrees of color blindness - I thought I had it pretty bad
