[DE]Rebecca Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) There has long been a call for better color blind accessibility in Warframe, and dev is currently finalizing some prototypes for a particularly troubled area: Lockers.The following depicts the treatment that Orokin lockers will be receiving to distinguish open and closed Lockers for our color blind players.As many of our players have brought up, the solution may lie in shapes and patterns!You can expect this approach to be implemented in lockers across the game to improve interactions for our color blind players. We’re hoping to get these out this month on PC. Our update notes will have full details once they ship!Do you have any concerns at a glance based on the above image? Let us know here!

RiouHotaru Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 That works great for Orokin lockers, but about Grineer or Corpus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RahuHordika Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 they look the same to me Then you sir must have poor eyesight, the red and green lockers clearly have a different light pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl_Facehugger Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Do you have any concerns at a glance based on the above image? Let us know here! My main concern is corpus lockers. Particularly corpus lockers that can't be opened ever even with master thief, as those aren't lit at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogManDan Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I may not be colorblind but I like the difference nonetheless and kudos for listening to the community Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinperor Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 This is actually happening? My god, when was the last time it was brought up? It feels like eons. Anyway, the lockers look fine to me, but admittedly I can see colors just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balthar Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 will the transition from locked to unlocked from master thief make the red lines rotate into position? Because I think that could be a pretty cool effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GratuitousLurking Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 will the transition from locked to unlocked from master thief make the red lines rotate into position? Because I think that could be a pretty cool effect. Same question I was about to ask. I'd assume so, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PenutReaper Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I don't think you understand how much this is going to help people. I actually completely ignore lockers right now, just because I don't want to have to walk up to them to see if I can open them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entari0 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 hmm, it is a good idea, but i feel like it needs some more work before it is done. in the heat of battle, i dont know that i would notice the horizontal vs vertical bars. perhaps make the openable ones shiny, whereas the locked ones would be dull in comparison? some other visual cue beyond simply a few shapes on the locker.

BritishBob Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 *Claps* Red/green colorblind enough to occasionally make me walk up to locked lockers just to check because I wasn't sure... Yay. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archistopheles Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 in the heat of battle You should be shooting bad guys, not opening lockers ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknow99 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 It will not only help colorblinds, but also make me able to see them easier from further distances! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordMelvin Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Glorious! No longer will I have to rub myself sensually over every locker in search of goodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H3dsh0t Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) inorite? I'm so happy to see it get addressed! Many many thanks Rebecca and also the UI team. This is something that I have been campaigning for on the forums, and I am so glad that things are being worked on. Please pass on my thanks to the UI team for making those that suffer from colour defficiencies life easier! Question from me Rebecca, is this going to also be applied to Grineer and Corpus lockers as well eventually and is it likely to be at the same time as the Orokin ones?

GhostSwordsman Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I'm technically red-green colorblind, but I can see the pure colors. :P It's just red and green shades mixed together that I can't tell apart. (so I can see when a locker is unlocked and locked as well as someone who isn't colorblind) None the less though, this will be an awesome change. It will definitely make hunting unlocked lockers easier from a distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
