Techwright Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 The Halloween Banners event: Just out of curiosity, how do our colorblind players adapt to this? 4 colors, randomly place on the map, and folks shouting out in chat the destinations based on color. I've heard that elsewhere different shade/grayscale is sometimes used, but these four colors appear the same shade, and there's no prominent background patterns like stripes or dots. Of course, we'd probably not think to be yelling out "green polkadot" either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glacier Peak Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Good question! Coordination is key during this event, colorblindness withstanding. I'd recommend asking for a set of /loc coordinates tied to a bind using /thumbtack x z y if attempting to coordinate. 1 I lead weekly Indom Badge Runs / A newer giant monster guide by Glacier Peak / A tour of Pocket D easter eggs! / Arena All-Star Accolade Guide!

Coyotedancer Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 You could call the banners by theme, maybe? "Fiends" or "Terror" and the rest... Taker of screenshots.

TheZag Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 On torch our league leader has someone designated as incan teleport for each color. We spread out initially between the 4 to make the banners vulnerable and then accept teleport to each of the banners. If its helpful they are always in the same order on the compass. From left to right its... Red --> Blue --> Green --> Purple And you can click them on the compass to get a nav pointer to their location. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, polkadot is green, blue is a paw print, orange is side table, and red is pail 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
