In-Game Search colors may not be visiable to color-blind players

Here's something that should be addressed by the UI team.

With GR/I18 a new color-coded search system has been implemented in the game to help players find and identify team-mates. According to a color-impaired poster over in the Suggestions forums, they can't actually make out a few of the colors: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=235627

Specifically the Yellow and Orange indicators, which mean two completely different things. The suggestion as been made to add in icons to indicate the status of the players eligibility for a team to complement the color-coded system, thus allowing color-blind players to leverage the system unhindered.

Not color blind myself, but I support this thought. I have friends who are, and have had supervisors at work that are.

(That latter can be a hassle in a work environment that promotes red-yellow-green style status indicators for projects.)


City of Heroes was my first MMO, & my favorite computer game.
