    If your a console player then i dont think there are any color blind options zos is fairly narrow minded when it comes to accessability on the console. There isnt even subtittles for the hearing impaired

    Making changes for hearing etc is a double edged sword for ZoS

    On the upside you've helped a fraction of your audience, on the downside, those that feel they have a reason for a change they'd like, then start requesting for that more with the 'well you helped xxxx, it's discrimination'

    So either way it's bad for them

    I have daily uncontrolled seizures, memory problems, muscle twitches, speech, movement, sight can be affected etc etc etc

    Now if ZoS added in lets say a text box to console for those shy or speech issues .. I know ppl who would the harass ZoS with changes that would benefit them using the disability card.

    I see where you are coming from but at the same time i cant help but feel it was very lazy and narrow minded of them to not even implement the most basic of accessability options found in pretty much all modern games.

    Yeah, hearing impairment and color blindness are fairly common in terms of disabilities... subtitles and color-impaired-friendly icon contrast tints/text colors as an option so people suffering from those issues are extremely normal to have and don't affect people not using them in any way. It's really a no-brainer to implement them.

    Exploits suck. Don't blame just the game, blame the players abusing them!

    They could use the old CAD tick of hatch patterns for black and white while they are in the inventory/icon view ?
    Back in the days when greyscale was a thing lol.

    An ideal situation would be for ZOS to implement an option where you could choose your own colours for AOEs, but implementation of that would probably take a while. Would it be improved if heals were blue instead of green?

    I think adding the name that represents the quality of the items would help with that like in Skyrim,.

    Has there been any talk about how to add in Add ons to PS4 of Xbox one. or is it imposable due to the way PS4 and Xbox are set up.

    No addons on consoles. Can't be done due to Sony/Microsoft approvement method or whatever. Also... They would never allow something free to be distributed via PSN or Xbox Live lol.

    Yes it would help, I can see colours its just the fact I can't tell the difference between them when they are similar blue/purple and also in most cases red/green... It's hard to explain /understand let's just say colours are not my strong suit and I never go shopping for clothes alone :))))

    I am playing on ps4 so no addons for me :)
    BTW just realized I have the same problem with greens/legendaries i'm vr6 and I found it odd that I had no legendary drop... Untill today when I saw a "green" for 50 K on sale :))), at first I thought the guy was crazy but then I checked and it had way higher numbers compared to any blue of the same lvl :D
