Feedback from visually impaired

Good day everyone. I thought it could be interesting for some, and GGG to hear the thoughts on the game from a severely visually impaired gamer.

I am a geezer who have 10% / 12% remaining of my perifical vision, with sight like wathing through a key-hole and -12 vision.

I am currently only in ACT 3 but i just completely love this masterpiece and have some thoughts to share.

DIFFICULTY:

People complain about the difficulty, and my thoughts in some ways i do agree even though i find it quite funny that someone with my dissabilities can complete it, most people can, but some bosses have had some badly telegraphed attacks. It is worth mentioning that i play Minions. I would never with my issues be able to complete it with a melee char.

My main concern with the CAMPAIGN difficulty is that i do think it is to hard and to much of a slug to do it through 6 acts a couple of times every 3 months. I am confident the game would be better with a little bit nerfed campaign, but to keep the difficulty to the end game.

Some people with many different reasons cant learn the mechanics due to issues. In POE 1 you can chose to avoid that content but in POE 2 you cant. That is a problem.

I do love the way i can beat this by overleveling/overgearing in some ways but imo you need to add to this much more if you dont plan to nerf or anything like that.

It is worth mentioning that i have played since D1, D2 and 6000 hours in POE 1 so it is not a skill issues, it is just a impossibility issues due to not seeing every mechanic. I do fully understand that you cant design a game to fit a disabled person but you can add ways around it. It took me about 14 hours to complete act 1 by overleveling every zone.

UI SCALING / ACCESSIBILITY

Most modern / AAA games have much more developed way to change the UI, add more highlighted lighting around enemies etc. Hope you are working on this. Especially being able to increase the text size on items and/or items dropping on the ground is very hard to see in some cases/terrains.

A quick thought idea -

- Make it possible making a private league with you're own rules. Like bosses not resetting their health when you die, like in POE 1.


Thanks for what i believe can be the best ARPG ever made.

And as always, the community is just lovely.
