    Feedback on Colourblind Support for Gem Sockets

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 03:11 PM PDT

    In the recent Baeclast Podcast with Chris Wilson, we asked for people to email us with their feedback about what improvements we could make to Path of Exile to support our colourblind players. We received a lot of helpful insight and are appreciative of everyone who contacted us about this. One of the key pieces of feedback was that while it has been helpful for us to try to modify colours to look distinct from each other, the most effective method is to also ensure that there is a clear difference in shape between elements.

    One of the first changes we're making based on this feedback is to add notches to gem sockets that indicate what colour they are. These notches correspond to the layout of the passive skill tree. For example, the blue socket notch points upward to represent the Intelligence area at the top of the passive tree.



    We'd love to get feedback specifically from our colourblind players about this but also welcome feedback from all players. We look forward to hearing from you!

    We also wanted to remind you that Chris Wilson will be appearing on another community podcast tomorrow on {LINK REMOVED} alongside fellow streamers {LINK REMOVED} and {LINK REMOVED}. Tune in on September 1st at 1pm PDT. We've also made a countdown for you {LINK REMOVED}. We look forward to seeing you there and hearing your thoughts!
