We have a colorblind rogue who is really awful at colored circles and also forgets his platform assignment on Regulos.

I'm red-green blind and the floor aoe on Goloch is near-invisible to me :v:

(also regulos aoes but i just follow the stack there)

It's not really a rogue problem though, more of a Trion game design problem.

I got this one, Zoness was just amused about the fact that there happen to be two colorblind people in guilds he participates in that happen to be rogues (thus why he specified your main being mage).

Actually I'll grant Trion the point that they've done a good job of making the game better for colorblindness in general since they for the most part haven't recycled the Separate Red and Green or Die mechanic on Maelforge.

They do need to learn what contrast is though. Salvarola has this problem slightly but Red on Red is really cool on Ultane. Also White on White for HM Gelidra. I think they might have learned this a little but who knows what the actual color of fight floors on the new 20 mans will be since they're housed in ID on the PTS.

I miss when things like Heat Funnel were Red on Green and easy to see.

Doesn't WoW have a colorblind mode? I wish Rift had that (I never played WoW so I don't know how effective it is there)

Then again, Gamebryo. It'll probably kill itself the moment it's asked to do something more complicated.

Puri changes coming to the PTS:

Kervik;4432926 posted:

Hey all,

Couple more Purifier updates for you. These should be out with the next update to PTS:
  • Buffs procced by Sign of Anticipation, Sign of Daring, Sign of Faith and Sign of Wrath can now stack with each other. A cleric may still only have one of the proccing buffs active at a time.
  • Ward of Flame ticks now apply a stacking buff to the caster, reducing the cast time of Ward of Fire by 0.5s and its mana cost by 5% per stack. Max 6 stacks.

Another change I'm currently looking at is removing Fire Nova and going back to a variation on Premonition. Basically it would be along the lines of what several of you have suggested. Cast it and then the next Ward you cast would be reapplied the next 3 times or so the target is damaged. Given the current setup of the soul this would probably only apply to Ward of Fire and Ward of Scorching.

Bolding mine, now we're cooking... with gasfire.

So far as I can remember colorblind mode in WoW just added some icons to loot rarity and some other small quality of life changes, I don't think it did anything to circles or whatever that might pop up. It's been years since I turned it on out of curiosity when it was first implemented though so I could be wrong.

WoW did briefly have a really cool mod that would throw down super bright colored circles of your choice during AoEs, though. Of course it was immediately patched to be impossible to actually use because people were coloring literally everything bosses did that you might need to move for so it was deemed an exploit mod. I still think it was really useful for the whole colorblind thing, though.

A pug getting Kyzan is loving impressive, how many pick up spots and what guild ran it?

Three or four of us were pickups, all DPS. I can't for the life of me remember the guild or anyone that was in it. One of the pickups was named Xcooby, I remember him because he kept invading my personal space on Kaliban. The main tank and raid leader had a fairly long name, and the offtank was named like Butui or Betui, something like that. gently caress. Guild name was one word, started with a C. It was a bunch of kiwis that got annoyed when I called them Aussies.

Also what the gently caress is personal space in the context of Kaliban or in Rift in General, aside from Downpour mechanics?

The credit prices for the runes don't make much sense to me. $0.31 for the seal runes in credits at $5 per 750. Where as the two ring runes are $19.20 and $32.40 at $5 per 750 credits.

Speaking as someone who within the last two weeks has made over 30 characters to 15th, The Defiant Starter area is best, however I usually find more CONSISTENT random IA groups in Guardian zones.

Not that it matters much now, you can just race change or faction change for mere pennies on the dollar.

This is mostly because originally this was a defiant guild, before you could have both factions together. Majority of goons who played then were defiant. That and the fact that defiants are way cooler as a faction.

To be fair, for a while Dwarves did have a more useless racial than Kelari.

High Elves get the sweet tumbling animation and awesome 2H animations that Kelari have with a much better racial, at the cost of looking like dorks.
