TOPIC | PSA: Eye Colors and their changes
1 2 3 4 5
Okay, so we've all seen the uproar the new eye designs have caused. There are people who are thrilled with them. There are people who hate them. And there are people everywhere in between. This post is aimed towards those concerned about the perceived differences (or lack thereof) between Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Unusual eye types. The staff has confirmed that yes, some of the original eyes were changed. Aequorin talks about that [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/ann/2452352/258#post_33598459]here[/url]. Some people have mentioned that they see very little difference - if any - between the original eyes and the current common eye type. Others say there is a huge difference. That's all fine and dandy. If you don't like it, that's okay. If you don't care, that's fine, too. But we need to remember: [Size=5][I][b]Not everyone sees colors the same way.[/b][/i][/size] Obviously, we know people who are colorblind see the world differently from those who aren't. But even among those who have full-color vision, there are variances. Here's an example, pulled from a Buzzfeed article: This image contains a word. Some people can see it, some can't.

And I didn't believe there was actually anything there until I downloaded it to my phone and messed with the color saturation and brightness and whatnot. To prove there's actually something there, here's a few different edits of the image where I can see the word "BEAD" [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/LN9HO9M.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/C82X5yq.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/n4AXBjr.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/EQunuon.jpg[/IMG] Just some food for thought.

Exactly, yeah. I can see it as well.

I've thought of this too. I've wondered if some of the people who are scoffing at those who are very disturbed by the changes...literally can't see them...

I can see it, barely, but I can.

Also, thanks for the link, I didn't know they have answered.

There's also screen resolutions and settings that come into play as well.

I have two computer monitors sitting right next to each other, and one has a slightly darker tint to it. I have tried configuring them to be exact settings, as they are the exact same brand; they are both acer monitors. It's not noticeable until I put two identical images side-by-side, but it drastically changes my picture(as an artist) if I were to favor one screen over the other.

Can see it obviously.

I personally don't like the changes to the original, but it isn't something major to me.

Yeah, I realized this pretty easily when people first started complaining about the eye change. I could vaguely see the word, but I couldn't tell what it was until it was mentioned. (I believe that I tend to have a bit more trouble with brighter colors, and so can more easily distinguish between darker colors). Plus you have to remember that monitors make a big difference.

There are some changes I could see and others I couldn't see a difference even in side by side comparisons.

However, unfortunately, for many of the ones who are scoffing at those upset about their dragons ,this won't change a thing..

A lot of complaints are about details like pupils being removed, not just the colors.

[quote]This image contains a word. Some people can see it, some can't.[/quote] I had to tilt my laptop back to be able to see it As for the eye change, I can't actually see it unless I have a side by side comparison, and even then sometimes I can barely see it. But I can understand why those who can see it are upset
