Conquest: a request for the visually impaired

I am submitting a request for a slight change within Conquest to help the visually impaired. When approaching a three-node datadisc location in the game (two nodes away), it is difficult to read the descriptions of the datadiscs within each node because the text in the node is darkened. When you are just one node away from the datadiscs, the text is brightened. But in order to be one node away from a three-node datadisc location, a player needs to make a selection about which two datadisc nodes to pursue, and must do so without being able to see the text of all three datadisc nodes clearly if visually impaired. While players can adjust screen brightness or shine a bright light onto their device to making reading the datadisc descriptions easier, needing to do that adjustment and then return the screen to normal does get tiresome. Since those datadisc descriptions do get brightened when one node away, I was hoping that coding could be extended to two nodes away from datadisc locations. I included images that highlight the issue and complement what I've written.

  • As a visually impaired person, I've not found an issue with this. When you say "visually impaired", are you implying glasses or just slightly bad eyesight? Either way, lean in a little bit closer or squint slightly. If you can't read darkened text, might it be time to get some glasses if you don't already?

    I don't mind this. 

    I have eyesight bad enough for glasses to not fully correct me to 20/20, but I get by just fine in most aspects of life. Even so, I had trouble telling the farmboy icon/headshot apart from CLS when CLS first came out. I requested that CG change one (didn't matter which) to turn to face the other direction and tilt the head slightly.

    And guess what? CG was kind enough to do it. Even when I couldn't see all the details, having one with a slight head-tilt and the characters gazing in different directions helped me a ton.

    They didn't make a big deal out of it, but a month or two after I requested it, they just included an updated headshot view. I always remember that when people say that CG doesn't listen. 

    So I have no problem with the OP asking for something that makes a small thing in the game less annoying. I've done it, and CG has come through for me. If you don't need it that's fine. But there's no harm in asking. 

    And it gives us something to read besides complaints about the F-34T disk. 

  • I think that the OP has a bit of a point, i think the issue is that unfortunately the needs of a few cant make changes realistically. I have colour blindness so yeah getting glasses isnt quite a solution, i struggle to read the same things, and where mats are 3/20 say, is the '3'' in red or green, i cant tell. I just know i dont have the amount needed.

    So in a way it would be nice if addressed but i know what i cant do and work around it so its not a moan but i wonder if there are others who really enjoy the game and have harder experiences.

    Im ok with the way it is and i would rather they spent more time fixing glitches etc etc etc
