Colourblindness friendly Engram Colours

I'm totally on board with Bungie's idea that legendary drops should be exciting and celebrated events. I find it absolutely impossible to distinguish between a Rare Engram drop and a Legendary Engram drop. I'm colourblind - and have protanopia (basically, no red cones in my eyes) - so blue and purple are indistinguishable to me for similar intensities of colour. While it does announce the Legendary Engram once it's picked up, I've been excited inappropriately or blasé about a drop at least three times a play session. It'd be really great to not have to play the weird guessing game that colourblindness pushes on me, even if it is a relatively minor thing. I am sure that the other colourblindos feel the same. Usually we're forgotten in games and it's too minor an issue to release a patch for but given the aggressive update and fix schedule Bungie's been undertaking hopefully you could fit something in? Tl;dr - colourblindness makes it next to impossible to differentiate blue vs purple for the Engram colours. Please change the shades to make them more dissimilar, add a differentiating effect or change the colours entirely.

  • How can this even be a rant? If your really that bothered to find out what engram you have just received, look on your inventory and read. Takes seconds. The colours are not the problem here, the fact your lazy is thought. If you where saying you couldn't tell what sheilds enemys have, I could see that problem, but not this.
