Indicator For Closed Doors/lockers

[Retrikaethan]

I say they should add both. You wouldn't release a game with subtitles to help people with hearing problems.

Anyways, TRSS, I am not the kind of guy to hold a grudge. Plus the fact that people are even discussing colour blindness is a good thing.

A little off topic but I always preferred the name Colour Vision Deficiency it's more reflective of the actual disorder.

im all for supporting all gamers. i was surprised to see they didn't actually have a colorblind option in the visual settings

Both is good too. Reason I said either is I figured having a colorblind compatible indicator, such as symbols like TRSS said, would negate the need for a colorblind option... but I suppose there are likely more elements in the game other than doors and lockers that could use a colorblind option.

+1 Though DE already talked about colorblindness before, they could use a reminder. It's been a while.

Somehow I get the feeling the mail will just end in more bickering, but hopefully he'll see that, if anything, it was just "tough love". Good luck with that.

To bring a different perspective to this thread (and maybe calm this all down a bit): I am not colour blind and nonetheless sometimes have problems to tell the state of a door from the distance. Reasons for this are:

• I have bloom disabled (because it makes my eyes hurt)
• some environments tend to distort the colour (like that yellow light in Grineer galleons)
• there are doors, that stay yellow for the entire mission (mostly in survival) without any apparent reason, which - from a distance - can be mistaken for red (see above point)
• some doors have pretty small areas for the colour coding (e.g. Void tileset, last link in this post)

So having something like a locked/unlocked padlock on the doors, in addition to the colour coding, would be a nice thing.

For lockers:

And as for lockers, Corpus lockers have O's that change color depending if they are open or not, would make sense to have an X displayed when they are locked.

Lockers in the void could do something similar. I just don't know what to do with Grineer lockers, as they only have those two lines at the sides and a dot in the middle. Those would need a full rework
