SOO The new auras are impossible for colourblind players

ryanneary1234

i know its been said on every post but it needs to be revered to the previous aura system. i am colourblind as are many players and it is now near impossible to see auras. i ran past the hook my teammate was on 3 times. even my fiance can barely see the auras and her vision is 2020 🤣 please listen to this bit of player feedback and revert it back. until it is i literally cant play because cant help my teammates.

They need to add an option for color blind people and fix the auras. I'm not color blind but I have garbage vision and it makes auras practically useless.

agreed, they need to be just a bit brighter and clearer for the people with vision problems and if they add a colourblind assist then that would be great. but as we know they never will 🤣

They said they're working on it. Hopefully they'll learn from their mistakes and add accessibility options to the game. I simply cannot understand HOW that made it through quality control; makes you think if anyone at BHVR actually plays the game.

I will say though that considering how conscious and inclusive they are with minorities and expressing their views in regards to that how unempathetic they are towards people with eyesight problems.

I've just quit playing until they fix it.

I'm not color-blind myself, but even then, I've had matches where it's been tough to make out auras correctly when they're at long distances. Really hope this gets fixed, more so for people who can't see the auras at all. I can imagine it's a living hell!

You said it. This has been told in 100 posts so this one was necessary?

I mean, i think people actually posts because they don't want to do a fast search in the forums. Also, there you have:

Recently, we've asked you for questions about the 4.1.0 update. We've gathered a few of the most upvoted questions and had them answered by the team. We're hoping to update this post with answers to more questions sometime next week.

Q: Why change the auras?

The auras were the source of quite a few technical headaches. The rework of the aura system was intended to give our programming teams cleaner code and a more stable aura system. Unfortunately, this had some unintended side effects on visibility. We heard your feedback and are working to improve their visibility. We will have a temporary fix in place shortly as we continue to work on a more permanent solution.

Q: What was the thought process behind the Mother’s Helpers and Black Grease add-ons?

The thought process behind both add-ons was to have a miniature version of the Hillbilly’s perks, specifically “Enduring” and “Lightborn”. So, we tried giving something to the killer for being stunned or for being blinded/having a flashlight pointing at you.

We understand that these add-ons weren’t very popular, so we’ll be making changes to both of them (along with many other add-ons) in the next update.

Q: Where is the Server Side Hit Validation?

The server side hit validation was originally planned to be tested out during the PTB. Unfortunately, there was an issue with how servers were selected on the PTB which caused most players to experience high latency, so testing the hit validation on that build would have been counter-productive. We will be running a limited test of the hit validation system on the Live version of the game in the coming weeks in order to gather feedback and data about its performance, with the hope of finalizing the feature in the near future!

Q: You’ve said that you want legendary outfits to have unique animations/sounds. Why doesn’t the Minotaur outfit?

To clarify, we have only mentioned that we would like to do so in the future.

Q: Why does Knock Out require a basic attack now?

There were a few killers/builds on which knock out could be particularly powerful. To mitigate that, we’ve made it basic attacks only. We’ll be monitoring the perk to see how it performs.

Q: Why is the game freezing every 10 seconds?

There was an issue in the most recent update which caused a hitch whenever the friends system would attempt to sync. For the time being, we have greatly increased the amount of time between syncs to prevent these hitches from happening as we work on implementing permanent solution. This temporary fix is already in effect and does not require a game update. In the meantime, you can force your friends to list to update by restarting the game.

Q: For Killer specific MMR: How will ratings work for newly released Killers? (e.g. Do you start from 0, or is it based on your other ratings?)

Every time you start playing a Killer that you haven’t played before (either because they have just been released, or because you have decided to try something new to you), your rating with that killer is weighted based off your ratings with other killers. If your Rating is relatively high with your other killers, then your default rating with a new killer will be weighted upwards somewhat. Regardless of where this weighted rating ends up, the system zeros in on a 90%+ accuracy within ~10 matches. The intention is to give you a head start towards playing balanced (and fun!) matches as quickly as possible.

First question:

I expect you will be putting together similar posts for every duplicate post on the forums. You are going to be busy. Think of all the DS, tunnel, gen rush, toxic killer, toxic survivor, nerf Legion, buff Legion, ban SWF, nerf OoO, Swing Twap chapter pwease, etc, etc post you are going to have to police now. Or, are you just triggered because someone decided to vent a legitimate frustration on a discussion forum?

Did this post get in the way of a killer tier ranking post you were looking for?
