Just curious if anybody else has this problem but when I am in game and somebody uses Team Chat the blue text blends into the background depending on the map and makes it very hard to read. I am partially color blind so this is more than likely the reason but wanted to know if I am the only one who sometimes have this issue.

Is their anyway to change the color of the team chat text?

Im not colorblind, and I find the text color difficult to read on most maps.

Maybe PGI could add a semi-transparent grey box behind the portion with the text to help filter the background and make the text easier to read.

I don't have issues reading team chat.... then again, I have the lowest resolution (and atm barely keeping above 30fps) so the chat box takes up like 15% of the top left corner of my screen.

I wish I was second so I could be a complete douche and go

^^^^ THIS x 1000!

And really, for those who do that... total douchery.

But onto the actual post, you know this is something that has riled me since closed beta. The single most effective thing I think they could do to increase team play is change that blue colour. They have made all types of chat changes but the one thing they have continued is keeping that light blue colour and if it's not to say a gigantic FU to the player base that aren't on coms, it's a real sign that the developers do not use the in-game tools they have designed (pointing to why there's no included chat software).

This comes from someone that actively tries to engage the team on PUG and grouped drops. PGI please stop hating (or just start loving) your players. :\

Edit: I'm not colour blind. Just appalled.

And while we are at it, let me scroll through the chat list, only being able to read the last 6 chats means an enemy can CHAT SPAM denying the other side from any sort of team chat.

I'm colorblind, and I never had a problem with the text.

I do have a problem with the damage indication spectrum though. The yellows and oranges are a pain to tell apart.

Blue is on of the colors that are easier to see. I believe the blue should be in a different shade, perhaps a bit lighter. Maybe cyan could be a good team chat color.

Orange can be a good color for team chat. Orange is another color that is easier to see.
