Change component colors

[tardy ridge]

PROBLEM

Currently, component colors are unintuitive which makes them harder to learn and can cause frustration.

SOLUTION

OP components should be blue instead of yellow — energy is blue, and most games use blue for mana or power systems.
Health should be green, as that’s the universally recognized color for vitality.

That would give us:

• Blue → OP
• Green → Health
• Red → AD

This palette wouldn’t just feel more natural and intuitive — it also aligns with the three primary colors the human eye distinguishes most sharply. The result would be a more harmonious and instantly readable visual language across the game.

they made the components colors so you will immediately know the fusion outcome,

the old...Yellow + Red = Orange

I totally agree those 3 as primary make most sense but i think they went with a yellow so that the secondary colors make more sense and i agree overall it looks better

With yellow/red/blue (current system)

1. yellow + red = orange (fusion)
2. yellow + blue = green (support)
3. blue + red = purple (brawler)

With green/blue/red (proposed here)

1. green + blue = cyan (support)
2. green + red = brown (brawler)
3. red + blue = purple (fusion)

From a usability perspective, I would definitely avoid using green and red for the primary components. People who suffer from red-green color blindness may find it difficult to distinguish between the two colors.

Theres a colorblind button in setting for those people

[shy cedar]

ah ok. Nice to know

[desert juniper]

@shy cedar Bring back the pictures....
Way easier to memorize what each of them does

[tardy ridge]

Brown for brawler and purple for fusion sounds good to me
Cyan for support may be unintuitive but it's way better to have a single unintuitive item color than 2 unintuitive component colors especially considering that you have to make a decision based on their colors

green is a primary color?

[tardy ridge]

Yes when talking about additive colors, a pixel has green, red and blue colors for example

Here is an image to illustrate

[grim hollow]

me personally actually got used to pretty fast.

[tardy ridge]

Wouldn't it be better if you didn't have to get used to it because you are already used to it beforehand?

Pixels

[grim hollow]

sure.
not sure i would have to get used to it as a newcomer.
Was mainly a short timeframe of getting used to because they switched, no?

I had that feedback myself, i saw that feedback from many players who have been here for a long time, but not from a single new player so far.
So i'm just asking myself, is it really a problem to solve and worth putting work into it or nah 🙂

[tardy ridge]

Narkesh was rather new I think

Also most active discord members aren't new so we don't have their feedback

The earlier we address it the less frustration it will create once we put players out of their comfort zone once again

[grim hollow]

was there before, so had the same struggle as any of us
Yes, there are not many new people on discord... but 0 feedback on this usually means it can't be super bad.

[tardy ridge]

Also how much work would it require? 30 min?

[grim hollow]

idk

Especially on mobile, cyan could maybe look like green or blue at a fast glance when in a hurry though.

[timid bolt]

Wouldn't adding some basic symbols help. Doesn't matter what colour then

[timid bolt]

Could you imagine trying to work these out on mobile 😅. The fact that these are even a thing in the game doesn't feel like progress to me.
